You Gave Me Random Video Game Characters, And I Ranked Them From Best to Worst

Characters are ranked on an A+ to F scale. Anyone D+ or under is typically considered a disliked character by me.

The ranks: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, E, and F.

A user is allowed to ask for tow video game characters for me to rank. If I do not know the character, I will not rank them.

Gum

1. Gum

Looks? Personality? Style? For a fictional character, Gum has it all. She even has one of my favorite color schemes in the Sega canon, and is one of the coolest ladies in video games. She’s personally one of my favorite video game characters of all-time. Rank: A

ChuBei

2. ChuBei

Say what you want, but ChuBei is my favorite fictional mouse in video game culture. He’s chubby, tiny, and a freakin adorable character and I enjoyed playing as him in SEGA Heroes, and he and his companions are still a joy to play as in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. This A- rank is well-deserved for a fun character. My favorite of the ChuChus! Rank: A-

Kiwi

3. Kiwi

A cute and lovable sidekick from Shining Force II, Kiwi is easily the most likable character in the game. There’s not much to him, but he makes the game much more fun when chosen as a playable member of the player’s team. Rank: B+

Reala

4. Reala

Arguably one of my favorite arch-rivals in video games; and the boss battle against him the original games is one of my favorites. He’s actually one of my four go-to playable characters in Sega Superstars Tennis, and his mysterious personality and semi-blank history is also what seems to make him great. Rank: B+

Evila

5. Evila

Sonic has Metal Sonic, Beat has Zero Beat, and Ulala has Evila — Evila is the BEST robotic replica in any Sega-related video game. The boss fight may have been frustrating at first, but her robotic voice and her epic introduction/entrance gives me goosebumps every time I play the fourth level in Space Channel 5. Rank: B+

Rouge The Bat

6. Rouge The Bat

Rouge is undeniably one of the better female character in the Sonic franchise, probably alongside Amy and Blaze. She’s quite original, but does seem a bit overly-sexualized for a fictional and female bat. But I fell in love with her personality and abilities, and I even ranked her as one of the coolest Sonic characters in an unpublished list. Her voice actresses haven’t been the best, the only one I preferred was Kathleen Delaney, who voiced her in Sonic X (the TV series) and the 2006 version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Delaney is arguably the only voice actress to voice Rouge in official media to match the character near-perfectly. Rank: B+

Heather

7. Heather

Heather is one of the false antagonists of the critically acclaimed 1994 genesis video game, Dynamite Headdy. She is a lot of fun in the game, and reading official guidebooks and character profiles just makes her more intriguing. Hopefully, if Sega ever releases a new title in the series, we will see more of her and learn more about Heather. Rank: B

Ryo Hazuki

8. Ryo Hazuki

Ryo is an example of a good protagonist from a video game series, and how to do one right. His arch is great, but it seems his character weakens as the story progresses. Overall, a solid character and one of the better Sega protagonists. Rank: B

Albert Wesker

9. Albert Wesker

It’s hard to like this guy, I’ll admit. But he’s a character that keeps some points of the story entertaining and keeping the plot moving forward. A good antagonist, by far. Rank: B-

Wakka

10. Wakka

I didn’t really care about him at first, but Wakka's interactions with other characters and his skills earn him a rightful B- respectively. Hopefully installments in the series I plan on playing do good for him. Rank: B-
