I can't think of too many, but playing against The Apprentice in Soul Calibur IV last week put me in a bad mood. I'm not very good at SC, so I usually play on easy mode. I managed to defeat everyone else with relative ease, but then BAM he just starts whippin shit out like no one's bizness. Whorebag ;)

I fucking hate Starkiller (The Apprentice's name in The Force Unleashed) too. He pretty much buttfucked the Force. Seriously, the dude's indestructible and he makes The Force in the Original Trilogy look weak and stodgy. I mean, did you ever see Luke pull a Victory Star Destroyer down to the ground? :roll:

Yeah, I started hating The Apprentice in SC4 (Seriously, I was playing as Darth, and he fucking raped me mercilessly when I started off - meanwhile, playing as The Apprentice fighting Darth Vader was a freaking cakewalk)...

...but then after seeing all the crap they've made him do in the actual games (like kill Han and Chewie in the lamest possible way - I mean, I wouldn't have been so pissed by it if it was an actual fight...) and all the "OMG-SO-COOL!" crap he throws around...

Yeah, I'm sorry - I know you wanted to make that God of War money, but transporting the tone of God of War into Star Wars is something that should have never happened.

I think The Force Unleashed was closer to Devil May Cry/Bayonetta than it is to God of War, but your point is still valid. I wish that the budget for The Force Unleashed went to a new Jedi Knight game.

EDIT:

Whoa, whoa, whoa! When the canon-fucking-hell did this happen?

Oh, and while I'm at it, I hate Clown Man. Of all the enemies in the standard Mega Man games, Clown Man was by far the absolute worst.

What's wrong with Clown Man? Just spam the Tornado Hold and he becomes your clowny bitch.

Also, I think God of War much more than I think Devil May Cry, mainly because:
1) Start with Devil May Cry
2) Make mob fights less challenging, more cake walk
3) Make boss fights less fun, more frustrating
4) Make up for this by 'allowing' the player to do cool shit, which is really just a cut-scene with Simon Says elements
5) A message appears: "Congratulations! You have successfully crafted GOD OF WAR!"

Oh yeah - I hate Kratos, now that I think about it. And Marcus Fenix and Dominic. And likely any character from any "Guh___ of War" out there.

That's just it, I didn't need to use anything, he was a bitch to begin with. Of all of Mega Man's enemies, Clown Man was by far the biggest pansy cop out. Even his voice grated my nerves. Give me guys like Bubble Man, Charge Man, Snake Man, or Knight Man any day. Let's just forget Mega Man 8, and Clown Man, ever existed.

Any character that won't stop yapping when you mash the button.

Okay I got it, just let me get to the game already!

I hate any and all of the Mario characters that have simply been created to fill spots in Mario Kart and other Mario spin-off games.

For instance Waluigi, Toadette and all the needless "baby" characters.
I can just about tolerate Baby Mario and Luigi since they were part of Yoshi's Island, but the rest...ugh.
Mario Kart needs to get back to being made up of 8 of the best characters - not 8 great characters + 12 filler.
