Underated Video Game Characters

[SkullCap]

We all know a video game character that's been either abandoned or pushed to the side so the another can begin/continue to shine in the spotlight. We personally think that forgotten character has the potential to star in their own game and the ability to break away from the protagonist's franchise.

Topic:Who do you think is an underated video game character?

My pick is Meta Knight from the Kirby franchise.

He's an intergalactic star warrior, commands a star ship called Halberd, wields the blade Galaxia, and fights monsters to stop Nightmare Enterprises from taking over the galaxy. How come he has no game of his own? He's mysterious, well-designed, and carries a haunting presence. It could be a prequel before he met Kirby for all I care. It could have StarFox-style space combat, mixed Metroid Prime-like planet exploration, and he's the same race as Kirby.

So that's my spiel what about you?

Toad. He does everything! EVERYTHING!!
And Soren. Cookie for those who know him.

Fire Emblem. Soren was a badass.

 

[Hiphophippo]

The Mayor of Redcliffe in Dragon Age. What a BADASS mustachio.

 

[FalloutJack]

My pick is Meta Knight from the Kirby franchise.

Funny, I like him.

Hmmm... How about Vergil, from Devil May Cry 3? He has some class, but is only accessable in the Special Edition of the game.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

The supporting characters in the Dark Cloud (Chronicle) games. Namely the mayor of Brimstone, Seda and the mechanic guy who's name I can't remember, though I think it was Cid.

[funguy2121]

No dude, I told you, he's a black cowboy who makes sausages!

Navi and Slippy.
Yes, I said that.
NAVI AND SLIPPY.

Navi was one of the only partners (aside from Midna) aho actually gave you useful advice without explicitly telling you what to do *stares at King of Red Lions*

As for Slippy, without him, you wouldn't be able to see the boss' shields. IMO, that's important.

 

[Sgtkillalot0]

Every Marine from Halo series that isn't Sgt. Jonhsen or those ODST guys from that other game.
And the Halo 1 snipers, loved those guys to death.

I agree about Navi, but Slippy needs to die a horrible, horrible death. God that voice was absolutely horrible! I also thought Falco was an asshole.

Also Travis Touchdown is absolutely one of the best and most original new characters of this generation, yet not many people no who he is which is too bad.

 

[dalarz]

panda king from the sly cooper 3. seriously you only play like 8 missions with him out of the 100 or so but there awesome seriously you got a problem shoot it with fireworks.

 

[Teraspark]

Robot from Chrono Trigger. He was awesome!

 

[UltimatheChosen]

NAVI

HEY

LISTEN

HEY

But on a more on-topic note, I thought that Regal Bryant from Tales of Symphonia didn't get enough screen time. He's arguably one of the deepest characters (aside from Kratos, who is thousands of years old), but you don't get him until fairly late in the game.
