Worst sword wielding hero?

[Vrex360]

This was inspired by the thread 'best sword weilding hero' in which I chose characters like Raikou from Otogi and Lizardman from Soul Calibur. But now I decided that being Vrex I will take the logical oppostie of this thread and ask... who is the WORST sword weilding hero?
For a while I didn't know who to pick, there were a few worthy candidates... Ayumi, Baldur.. etc. But then I knew exactly who to make my personal worst sword wielder ever:

...for obvious reasons.

So that's my pick anyway... of all the sword wielding (or just fantasy characters in general) hero do you think is the worst? Most lame and uninspired or even just the one with the worst games?

Now he isnt lame but Link. I mean come on hes expected to save the world but he can't hold onto a key for more then five minutes.

That dickless flutesucker from Unfinite Indiscovery.

Cloud Strife. Seriously, he's annoying to me, and everyone goes on and on about how awesome he is. It's like this crudely modelled little swordsman has a full squad of fanboy cheerleaders, spitle flying from their lips crying Cloud's praises to the masses. Cloud is no differnet than every other FF hero out there. *yawn*

On a similar note, let up on Sepiroth too. He's really not that awesome.

Check out the thread on the video game characters strip show. Link was recently revealed to be a girl, so I guess that gives him a bit of a pass.

Worst sword wielding hero... I dunno they had that Jockster guy (don't know if I'm spelling that right) in the Ancient "Xena: Warrior Princess" fighting game.

Any fighting game character who wears a sword into a tournament yet is too stupid to pull it out probably counts. Though admittedly some of them (in Dead Or Alive for example) use their weapons in other connected games.

You can pretty much pick any JRPG protaganist you happen not to like since pretty much all of them use swords, but that's just asking for it.

I mean like Frog from Chrono Trigger, you either love the idea, or you hate it.

But still, Jockster is probably the most pathetic conceptually, even if he can win like anyone else (it being a fighting game).

Best sword wielding hero: Postal Dude with a Katana. Or a Machete. Or a Scythe.

Wait, you don't love Cloud OR Seph?! How can you be so True Neutral?!

The Kingdom Hearts guy. Honestly, what was Disney thinking? "Hey, let's just make a FF ripoff and throw in Disney characters that only little kids like."

Link. Cos I wanna be a prick.

Yep, you succeeded.

 

[Khazoth]

Most of your 3D Final Fantasy Heroes

and Edge Maverick.

I agree with the OP's choice.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Raphael from Soul Caliber. The man routinely slashes with a small sword or rapier. It's a THRUSTING weapon dammit!

This. QFT.

Sorry, that sonic pic was basically my one too. I want to see the very idea of that game burned for this.

 

[StormShaun]

Sonic...in his new game...........uuh Sonic and the black knight.....

 

[Beefcakes]

I was going to post something about something... or someone...
But the OP reminded me of 'that' Sonic...
So, I need not say more than see the OP.
Kudos on the choice

Pyramid Head?
(And if you say he's not a hero, I can find a lot of fangirls who will disagree with you)

THIS IS AN EASY ONE! GARRET!
Garret's a thief, what's he doing with a longsword? He's supposed to be sneaky. They fix it in the third game by giving him a knife.

But I guess as far as skill, Garret's pretty much a master because, without armor or a shield, he is single-handedly able to beat multiple armored guards by himself.
