Surprisingly Useless Characters

Is it just me, or in Paper Mario (the first one) Parakarry is completely worthless as a character?
He knows the 'sky dive' attack, but it only does 4 damage when he's ultra-ranked, and it's hard to gauge when to use the 'action command' with it. (Or 'quicktime event' command.)
His 'shell shot' attack is pretty good, but quickly gets dismissed when you get Bow, who can do almost as much when she's ultra-ranked with her main attack. Plus, bombette's bomb attack does as much as well.
He's only really there to bridge slightly longer gaps that Mario can't jump, and deliver letters in a fairly meaningless sidequest. The only things you get from delivering letters is star pieces (which aren't that useful, the badges you get from Merlon aren't crucial to beating the game) and a 'lucky day' badge. (Which makes enemies attacks 'sometimes' miss mario. Frankly that 'sometimes' isn't often enough.)

Any second-tier character in the Fire Emblem franchise. Not only do they gain literally only 1 EXP for every kill, but if you bother to level up the characters who seem weaker they completely overwhelm the "stronger" allies before even changing classes.
Dunno if she was supposed to be useful... but i hate that stupid Ira B**** in Jagged Alliance 2 (pure awesome made of gold with boobies drawn on it)...she can't shoot and has a terrible steroid filled hair on chest amazon voice (atleast in the german version)
The gameplay already made me want to strangle kittens. ...well not really. But I want to know whose brainy idea it was to take away Tails' melee attack and have him throw bombs around, same with Rouge for that matter. For Rouge though the idea of planting bombs on walls was good, but on the ground she should've had her melee attack. Speaking of wall climbing, that needed some serious debugging.Not G.

Thing is, Typlosion is designed to be a special attacker. It's movepool in that area sucks and it's attack stat isn't great. I've still yet to find the move tutor that gives you Thunderpunch as that can actually have use. I gave Earthquake to Flygon as he would make better use of it.Zekksta said:

I'm the one who gets to play this card first? Okay, here we go.
That's because you multiclassed Warlock with Bard. Everyone knows that Bard's completely suck. Sure, they're decent at just about anything, but someone who's in a pure class will kick they're butt at it. I guess they're really just "So Okay It's Average".kannibus said:

Yeah, Gyarados is bad-ass, but Magikarp is a giant pile of suck. It can't even hurt anything until level 15, and even then it still sucks something fierce.
BAHDERF

BAHDERF
And yes I do.
Entire Hiigaran Navy in HW2...
Also Captain Soban once you get control of him, best frigate in the game by far but still just a bit meh, his HP is low compared to your other, replaceable, "normal" units at that point in the game where you having the frickin' dreadnought. The DPS too isn't exactly special. Overall underwhelmed after his totally badass entry. Could've been made far better by giving you control of him earlier before you get capitals.

Put on the right weapon she can be a nice little powerhouse.CeallaSo said:
Penelo however? Now that one was useless. Ashe wasn't too far behind.
