Toadette and Zavok.

Alucard from Castlevania and Leon from Resident Evil
Both characters were introduced in wonderful installments but when they had their own games (SotN and 4) they took the series in a completely different direction, telling the original fans to fuck off.

why the fuck is that a thing again?
this is the main reason why i dont want a persona 3 remake

Marie was the worst it's ever been. I'm hoping that Kasumi is fun, since her trailer makes her look pretty okay.
The objectively correct answer

Yaiba is literally Ninja Gaiden’s DmC, but since NG3 already fucked up the franchise there was nothing else for it to ruin and everyone forgot about it

A lot of people here who clearly don't understand what being Poochie is.
>unliked by everyone
>edgy, in-your-face attitude
>such a big fan backlash that they were forced to quickly remove the character and never speak of them again

ha

>Wow Marie is one kawaii girl.
>She's totally the best girl!

beat me to it you fucking pile of dogshit. That was my low-hanging fruit to reap

oh so like Lightning
> she still hasnt gotten a single game in her trilogy released to current gen
> ff12 did
lmao

It's worse because Yaiba is canon, his game is just mashing when at least Donte had some basic depth, and Team Ninja will probably make DOA and Nioh forever now and never return to form with an NG4.

Is that last step really a requirement? It's what would be the correct course of action, sure, but you can be a Poochie without dying on the way back to your home planet

This is the canonically right answer. Only mentally ill urinialists disagree.

Axl from megaman X7/X8

sounds like /pol/

WAT

edgy and in your face isn't exactly what you need to be to be poochie, it's more like "wow this character is the new hotness WHOA," you need to include
>made to bring interest back into series
>creators REALLY tried to sell them
>nobody liked them
stuff like Donte and Other M Samus fit here, so do things like Marie in Persona 4

>Look Reimu! It's our new friend, Kasen!

Without them being swept under the rug like Poochie, they arent Poochie, they are just an annoying character.

Except Poochy is actually cool.

AFAIK no FF game from the PS360 gen got ported yet, only other tangential Square games like Star Ocean and Last Remnant

Kasen actually has her own contingent of fans, and she even managed to get into one of the fighters. I wouldn't really say she counts.

Far from it. Zavok is much more of a "Poochie".

Marie from Persona 4 Golden is the clear Poochie of video games. She's an annoying character that nobody likes who doesn't fit in the game, and yet isn't part of the original release. She's exclusive to the re-release and changes large parts of the story, and this changed story is now canon. I think the anime even has characters wondering where she is whenever she isn't on screen.

then why does he have wives and children at multiple points in his life?

wasn't even an interview it was a tweet in response to some fanart, the guy who said it said it was a joke, but he doesn't work there anymore... meanwhile the series lead responded with the rising fist emoji and a bunch of rainbow flags, along with retweeting only the part where he said he was gay....

Probably the biggest example of creator's pet I can name off hand.

Hell no

Fucking Nero.

Nero started as an obnoxious JRPG hero and turned into a fixed Donte, mad respect for him

Lightning from the FF series

I came to Yea Forums in 2011 and remember people making this shit all the time lol that was awesome

this

The fact that eerily fits is really uncanny

Lightning is the quintessential example of how feminist icons work in fiction. they are so perfect it’s boring.

Came here to post this, surprised it took so long. To be fair it happened to me a while ago.

the original FF XIII’s opening sequence is a literal retelling of FF VII, you’re an ex-soldier coming out of a train, facing the antagonist’s army with the help of a funny nigga with guns. then your first boss turns out to be a scorpion mech. then the next person to join you is a hot brawler

He's going at like 700 mph, of course his poles are gonna be bent. Besides, Sonic was always intended to be more cool than cute, and the picture on the left makes him a boring ass Mickey clone

Marie and Miyako were awful, you're saying that the new one on DSJ is awful just like them?

No contest.

>"friendly" as positive point
Fuck off, Sonic is better off being what it is rather than yet another government mascot for vaccination or anti-drug campaigns

>outstanding feature to make it different from a regular bobcat is a plain white shirt with a meaningless exclamation point

Feels like they intentionally designed it to fail

>Classic Sonic let's his friends freeze outside in the freezing winter night
