(+) Yeah! (+)

Now you take their place in the game and story. How well do you fare?

Considering the Traveler in Genshin basically just have everyone fight for them, in gameplay, fine. Now, during the cutscenes where they actually do things...not so much.

Max from Shining Force - you can let a horde of OP Allies handle business for you

I can handle the brooding part of Squall. The fighting, not so much.

Theres no way Im even close to manipulative enough to pull off Delita. I die in obscurity.

i thought of Red (pokemon). I can probably do just fine

Mario, I definitely cannot jump that high.

Mr. Driller

I'd die horribly.

I thought of Zero from Mega Man.

If I get to stay back at base I might be okay. With Zero on a mission? I'm screwed.

Travis Touchdown

I probably dont even make it to Death Metal.

Rikku

Oh no

Mario, I definitely cannot jump that high.

Can't even backflip

Kyle Hyde

...I just spend my day in the hotel by myself and check out the next morning. No mysteries getting solved on my watch.

Thought of Bennett from Genshin Impact. Considering his whole schtick is that things fuck up all around him, I would just get really depressed, really quickly.

Dunban

I guess whatever the Monado lets me do and then nothing further.

I can't be as brave or charismatic as Tidus, but I can sure as heck look ignorant and/or deranged until I'm dead! At least I can make it past Sinspawn Ammes... and then I'd drown before that fish thing even got a chance to sniff me.

I kept thinking of Mark Henry who is definitely not a video game character so I eventually substituted him with AKI Man. Ironically the answer to this question is basically the same.

I guess I'm a wrestler and I fail to get the European Title probably. Seems like the right storyline path to go down in WWF No Mercy.

Mario.

I can do the Mario. That's about it.

Pac Man. Womp womp.

I guess Id do fine for a few levels.

Sander Cohen from Bioshock

I'd be dead long before his place in the story, and even if I DID manage to get there, I'd still die almost immediately. And violently.

Ion (Ar nosurge)

This is actually somewhat ironic on a meta level but I'd be screwed. She's a genius-level engineer and I'm not.

Aya Brea

Well, I sure hope I have some of the power, too

Tidus

Well I can't swim so probably dead within 10 minutes

Thought of Lance from Pokemon. Worst that happens is I lose to the occasional challenger. Otherwise I get to be an Elite Four member, then later Champion while getting to kick some Team Rocket ass.

Pretty sweet deal.

The Detective (Disco Elysium)

... uhhhhh I... think I, at least, end up a more well-rounded person? The actual mystery is in shambles, I have no chance of figuring that out, but I think I manage to keep my job, at least?

I definitely develop the purest form of anodic dance music, though.

I picked Mega Man, Im pretty sure Wily isnt caring about the three laws of robotics when he builds his robots or reprograms ones he steals so I dont like my chances. Assuming Im still an ordinary human instead of a robot I doubt I even make it to any of the Robot Masters.

lok

The old kung fu master from Live a Live.

considering I don't know any Kung Fu I can't advance his story, but I'm also far younger so I get to live out my life in ancient China. The bad guys gets to use their evil kung fu to terrorize the place so that'll suck

suguri from suguri.......

yeah nope that's not happening

Mario... depends on the game. Any of the 2d games I basically die to the first enemy. Kart racing, I could do alright though the first lightning bolt or blue shell will probably kill me. I guess maybe I could do Sunshine and just give up and become a beach bum?

Yeah, if I have to be my regular lame self physically then the only games I'd do well at would be things like Pokemon or Romance of the Three Kingdoms where you have others do the fighting for you. 10-20 years ago I may have taken my chances with some martial combat but days like today remind me I'm too damn old for proper sword fighting now.

I cant inflate myself just like a balloon or do a handstand, so I will not fill the role well.

I don't know how to swim so I drown right away after being released from the SDV in Metal Gear Solid 1.
