I agree with Grasshopper, but the thing I remember most about her is her ending. That is easily my favorite ending in all the games. It's just awesome to see Calypso in such a unique and fragile state.
The fun part with Auger's drill is that, when you nail a car, every rear missile blows into the enemy. Using rear Mortars no car other than bosses and Warthog can survive a single drill ride. He is still pretty crappy, but I'd be lying if I didn't have fun one-shotting everyone in a playthrough. Good work on the vid by the way!
While I'll never think that TM3 and TM4 are as bad as people say, I can't deny the fact that they did Mr. Grimm dirty AF in both games. Glad he was brought back to stardom in Black, his special slapped in that game. Good list ❤
Honestly, I view Pit Viper as a better Crimson Fury. Her special is a lot like CF's laser in the sense that it knocks enemies around and can stunlock with it due to its high quantity. Or you can just discombobulate more dangerous foes while you speed off. Also, another interesting thing I found out about her is that I think she has the strongest machine guns. Not because she does more damage per bullet, but the guns are affixed closely together and you can connect both streams of bullets almost effortlessly. That's essentially double damage if you think about it. The thing I truly don't like about her is that she slips and slides everywhere.
8:38 ah go figure! I kinda like Warthog in small brawl but only in the intro cinematic scene part- his ending feels like the consistency is gone, but I’ll keep the funny part cause it looks stupid every time I rewatch it. So yeah he might been as well called Grasshopper then.
If I'm remembering right, you unlock ATV by just beating Cousin Eddy. Personally, I've always seen ATV as being an intentional joke character - someone who's purposely meant to be awful to play as. Like there's a reason you fight FOUR of them during Eddy's boss battle. (And even then it's easy.) Even the character himself seems to be an intentional joke. He's a mush-mouthed idiot sporting a mullet who just wants to get laid. Lmao. So yeah, I reeeeeeally don't think he's meant to be taken seriously in terms of competitive balance. Great list.
Captain Grimm's special getting a huge buff in the twisted metal 4 childhood mod is my favorite thing about the mod, because it makes him a glass cannon instead of you know... just glass. Also I'm guessing sweet tooth from twisted metal 3 is number 1.
And Cousin Eddy is basically a knockoff of two Twisted Metal 8 characters: Beeswax and Daves Cultsman that I’m surprised the company didn’t get sued by Activision
This is facinating to me because in head on if you could get ATV's special weapon upgrade i felt that he was one of the best characters. Also his design and voice were perfect. I would love to see him come back sometime, with some proper balancing though.
Kamikaze actually has *more* armor than Crimson Fury in 2012, although Kamikaze's flamethrower is a little weaker. Also while you were tearing Captain Grimm a new one I'm surprised you didn't even mention that while he has none of Mr. Grimm's usual strengths, he still shares the terrible armor
I prefer using Kamikaze for races and for the final boss. Believe me, the Freeze Shock Alt Special does wonders in the beginning of races when you're surrounded by a bunch of cars.
I won't lie, you are close on a few of the worst characters in the entire TM franchise. This is what my list would look like: 10. Kamikaze TMX, same reasons you gave, a carbon copy of Crimson Fury with less armor and speed. 9.Orbital TM4: My reasoning for putting him here is his Special Weapon the Freeze Orb is a slightly better version of the freeze bomb you get in TM4 as a regular weapon pick up. It also does no damage to any vehicles only freezing them in place which feels more utility based than anything else. 8: Mime TMSB: This vehicle is unreliable with its special weapon as it takes on the properties of only vehicles it is close to in a level, so it is random you will get a good weapon or a bad one to use. It requires immediate strategy based on what Mime gets. Lets not forget how low armered this vehicle is BTW. I like gambling but the fact that Piecemeal does it better makes Mime's addition redundant. 7. Pit Viper TM1: She is bad but will not say she is complete garbage.She has only marginally more armor than Mr. Grimm and her special weapon does regenerate at a faster rate than his meaning you can get more shots with her Acid Burst special weapon more often. What takes her down is her awkward handling and it is uncontrollable where she slides which could be a danger. She also has a low speed it seems with cars like Outlaw and Roadkill able to outpace her with relative ease. 6:Twistef TM2: I find it extremely difficult to try to beat the game with her, as her special weapon is a Tornado Spin that does pull enemies into you, but you take on damage as well with them crashing into her car as the spin cycle is active. Vehicles like Axel, Outlaw 2 and Thumper can still attack with their special weapons if they are caought in the Tornado Spin. You would need to use a shield to avoid taking damage, and the fact that this has to be done only decreases her effectiveness as almost all other vehicles don't need to do this to use their special weapon. 5. Grasshopper TM2: That last statement is a good segway to this vehicle Grasshopper from TM2. Like you explained in the video a glass cannon using it's small frame to deal damage is just too ridiculous. What puts her lower in my book than Twister is sometimes when using the special it will go off but nothing will be done and you seemingly waste a special as a result. A shield is recommended especially if she is jumping into a vehicle like Axel who will shocksave the bejesus out of Grasshopper if given the chance. 4. RC Car: This vehicle is garbage for being an unlockable character. His handling is awful and feels like his armor is lacking. The laser is good but I truly think the design is all out terrible. This vehicle belongs here. 3. Hammerhead TM3: For the reasons you elluded to earlier. Poor physics leave the vehicle either on it's back like a turtle or charges high speed into a hazard. If it is the former all vehicles will surround her like a group of hungry wolves ripping her apart tearing her to pieces in a matter of moments. 2. Microblast TM4: Nearly the worst, small vehicle with poor armor and a garbage special. If done right this vehicle could have had potential with a better special weapon. It stays out of the number one spot as it is difficult to hit and can zip away from danger. 1. ATV TMHO: The one vehicle we can both agree is the worst nearly having no redeamable qualities. Maybe if the programmers gave poor old Gene Ruddish a grenade launcher or a bazooka for a special weapon, his vehicle would not have been rubbish. JK or is it?
I've got no arguments about any of these. Putting together a list myself, since I don't really have any fresh gameplay experience with any of these and just going off of memory and sentimental value, simply thinking about how little I'd miss these characters being included in another TM game ever again, this is the bottom of my list: 10. The Joneses (I like the station wagon look, but Warthog has taken over the station wagon [on tank treads] look and I'd wish for it to stay that way for future incarnations of Warthog) 9. Drag Queen (Offensive character with a vehicle I've never had fun playing with, although the vehicle design *is* cool) 8. Flower Power (Oversexualized character with a vehicle I've never had fun playing with, although the TV show gives me hope for how FP can be redone) 7. Meter Maid (Her ending might be one of TM4's best and I like how they introduced a special that heals you while it does damage to enemies, but there's no reason for Meter Maid to ever come back over Outlaw) 6. Orbital (I get it may have tactical use to freeze enemies, but to me Orbital has the worst special in the series being one that deals no damage, so thus I think Orbital should never return [at least with the freeze special]) 5. Firestarter (Again, no reason for him to return over Thumper or any other character they may give a flamethrower special too instead) 4. ATV (Just completely useless apart from being a challenge just for challenge's sake, let's be real) 3. RC Car (The only reason this exists is because 989 decided to put a boss on every level in TM4 and they had to come up with *something* for the bedroom level) 2. Quatro (In my opinion I don't think TM should have any crossover with anything sci-fi, and thus a 4-armed cyborg alien riding a hoverbike is something I never want to see return) 1. Microblast (Likewise, I don't think TM should have any crossover with any kind of "fantasy" genre, and thus a leprechaun driving a wind-up toy car is also something I never want to see return)
I didn't mind Kamikaze in 2012, but it was bitter sweet that Spectre was supposed to be in that spot in his TM1 white corvette, but they put kamikaze in there as a replacement. And I'm a die hard Spectre fanboy
Augger is awesome . Mad fun back in 1999. A trick that may improve your special damage ... memory is a bit fuzzy ...use the machine guns while the victims is spinning like a shish kebab...the other was to aim the victim for throw off the height ..like the blimp and aim and reverse ...gotta learn how to pillot him
thanks for gifted member ship dude i will forsure stop by a live stream a bit odd i thought i ahd to make it optional to accept gifts on live streams to get them from certain channels i guess i was wrong STAY AWESOME THANKS FOR GIFT HAPPY HALLOWEEN! i guess treat more than gift haha
I so agree with you on kamikaze i mean yeah he looks cool but hes just like crimson fury, and death warrant tbh he should have been spectre which was what the they were originally gonna do they had ghost missile and they had the voice line "spectre destroyed" R.I.P Spectre 👻
No way is Pit Viper worse than Microblast or TMHO Warthog. Her special might not be as strong as Grimm's, but, she can take more hits and her special has a higher cap and regenerates faster. Heck, I think she's way more viable than Grasshopper has ever been.
I remember ATV throwing dynamite to deal some good damage. Was that only in Story? Regardless, I think ATV was just designed to be a bad character. After all, it's just a side character in a mini boss fight.
I'm probably very few people have easier time play grasshopper than twister and hammerhead, I mean She had best control in this game and her special can combine well with other weapon. (mr.slam still have the best combo though)
I mean ngl, I do like ATV as a concept like you said too, but damn its crap. Also IIRC (been years since I played TM4) Microblast is the only character who's Special charge rate depends on his HP. I think it charges as fast as the winding key spins (Which goes slower his HP is to a point it full on stops)
Dude i cannot agree more with all but grasshopper, pit viper,and hammerhead. I love me some Twisted Metal. Thats been obvious over time. I just see more value in TM3 hammerhead cause for starters,TM3 HH had better control,armor,and the special was serviceable. You just have to hit reverse right before you use the special, and it still does the same damage without flipping over. It feels like ramming. Hammerhead in 2 can use a special without it being equipped,but thats it. Armors trash,alot slower and really is a chore to drive. I even compared the 2 back to back and i had very opposing moods AND performance. I feel literally hindered playing TM2 hammerhead,while TM3 has a good feel if you master the brakes/reverse on special. Pit viper has 3 stats across the board,and it seems like it. Shes actuallly one of the BEST characters IMO. 5 stock specials that git pretty hard,servicable armor,and decent speed being small enough to dodge a good bit. Lastly,Grasshoppers special doesnt hurt you when it lands. Its what the enemy does afterwards that hurts. Ive play tested this alot and it foes not hurt you at all. She still isnt great,but i just had to note it and enjoy grasshopper
A good list; my only contention is with Pit Viper. I'd say (in TM1 anyhow) Crimson Fury is weaker overall. Yes more speed, but their special weapon is awful. Darkside has essentially the same special weapon as Crimson Fury in TM1, but Darkside has the benefit of armor and the ability to do significant ram damage.
The worst vehicle/character in twisted metal 2012 is talon. It doesn't feel right to control a flying vehicle in a game like twisted metal. Kamikaze's alternate special is better than the shockwave from crimson fury and it is more useful when you want to run away. Crimson fury is faster but has weaker armor. I kinda agree with your list but I thought you were going to talk exclusively about the drivers and not the cars.
Top 10 worst characters- Also on this list: some vehicles who where not characters at all…like Kamakazi, I think the list should have been worst vehicles * ,
For me (without including Small Brawl cause I haven’t played it to much) 10. Crazy 8 (TM Black) very niche special considering the dumb way the A.I tends to turbo from 0-100 in an instant making it hard to hit his special consistently. Also why does he have a default version when it does literally nothing. 9. Flower Power (TM3) : similar to your reasons. Great design, everything else sucks. 8. Hammerhead (TM3): similar reasons as Nicks 7. Crimson Fury (TM1): a worse and pointless version of Mr. Grimm 6. Grasshopper (TM2): horrendous stats and special 5. Microblast (TM4): I hate his laugh so much. 4. Pit Viper (TM1) another worthless inferior version of Mr.Grimm 3. Twister (TM2): an extremely inconsistent special that tends to work whenever the game feels like it. The game god-awful physics also makes this vehicle impossible to control. 2. ATV (Head On): laughably weak character. 1. Sweet Tooth (TM3): Flipping over simulator. Extremely bad character.
Both dark side and crimson fury. From tm1 really pissed me of their special was just absolute trash also mime or piecemeal from small brawl were just lazily designed they have the special but honestly I’d go with mime as the weakest since she had shittier armor
@@chrisr7235 I'd assume so too. I played since TM1 but I couldn't get into 3-4. Black and the PS3 game did get me back but they didn't hold me like 2. TM head on was very good but it was obviously a nod to TM2.
Me, Who Mains Flower Power: .... This is fine. This is... Yeah, this is fine. 🥹🥹 I respect it though. I don't know exactly why I main her, I guess it's cause I started playing tm3 for the first time and she was the easiest to understand for me, and I liked her special ability. I completely get why she's hated though.

I agree with Grasshopper, but the thing I remember most about her is her ending. That is easily my favorite ending in all the games. It's just awesome to see Calypso in such a unique and fragile state.
It's ATV, isn't it?
Edit: I was right 😂

Good work on the vid by the way!
Someone else who knows the Rapid Rear Rumble trick with Auger. Nice!
While watching I was trying to think what the worst character was gonna be and I completely forgot about ATV. He is so bad that I forgot he existed.
I honestly thought you'd say Sweet Tooth TM3 for #1
Grasshopper is a pain because its the only “good” ending without cheating to get minion.
In my experience of TMX online nowadays is that people only ever use Kamikaze if they are veterans of the game and want to nerf themselves
Worst "characters" = talks about how the car handles.
I'm not lying, I have so much fun with Grasshopper, I don't mind playing her and having a disavantage
My guess for your number 1 is the tm4 create a car cuz nonexistent armor, although still more fun than capt grimm imo
for me tm2 roadkill is trash to me the special ever hits the enemies it could be a on me but at least tm3 roadkill is better
While I'll never think that TM3 and TM4 are as bad as people say, I can't deny the fact that they did Mr. Grimm dirty AF in both games. Glad he was brought back to stardom in Black, his special slapped in that game. Good list ❤
I can totally agree with this list! Kinda surprised that Road Boat from 2012 isn't on here But awesome video as always, Nick!
Honestly, I view Pit Viper as a better Crimson Fury. Her special is a lot like CF's laser in the sense that it knocks enemies around and can stunlock with it due to its high quantity. Or you can just discombobulate more dangerous foes while you speed off.

True!
I prefer using Kamikaze for races and for the final boss. Believe me, the Freeze Shock Alt Special does wonders in the beginning of races when you're surrounded by a bunch of cars.
You have inspired me to do a tier list of my own of all Cannon characters
I just find it funny how some of these were drastically improved in the TV version at least the way they incorporated them into it somehow worked. :D
They did atv dirty in PS2 version. Psp version is still complete garbage but at least he throws tnt that does some damage so a little better.
I feel for the guy, he can't exit the highway, everything blocked off all for a flower parade, fuck that.
I loved Kamikaze’s design but I wished the special could’ve been like unique like a explosive ram move
I won't lie, you are close on a few of the worst characters in the entire TM franchise. This is what my list would look like:
10. Kamikaze TMX, same reasons you gave, a carbon copy of Crimson Fury with less armor and speed.

Hey Nick, which versions of TM are you playing? I mean in some of your clips the graphics are pretty good!
Emulated version through duckstation!
now im fully dived into Duckstation, thanks! @@VicariousNickk
Your list I think is pretty accurate. Not sure where on the list I would put them personally but ATV I do agree is the worst.
I've got no arguments about any of these.

Can't argue with the characters on this list. Maybe shifting a couple spots here and there, but these are definitely the top 10
I honestly expected this list to be made up of nothing but characters from TM3 and TM4.

10. Talon TM2012

5. Hammerhead TM2
4. Darkside TM1

Augger is awesome . Mad fun back in 1999.

I was shocked to not see tm2 twister because she is one of the best at killing herself
I so agree with you on kamikaze i mean yeah he looks cool but hes just like crimson fury, and death warrant tbh he should have been spectre which was what the they were originally gonna do they had ghost missile and they had the voice line "spectre destroyed" R.I.P Spectre 👻

No way is Pit Viper worse than Microblast or TMHO Warthog. Her special might not be as strong as Grimm's, but, she can take more hits and her special has a higher cap and regenerates faster.

Regardless, I think ATV was just designed to be a bad character. After all, it's just a side character in a mini boss fight.
The dynamite is his enhanced special.

Thanks. Without that, he is pretty much useless.
I'm probably very few people have easier time play grasshopper than twister and hammerhead, I mean She had best control in this game and her special can combine well with other weapon. (mr.slam still have the best combo though)
A lot of people surprisingly play grasshopper too. We’re not the only ones 😂 she was also my first pick when I first started playing TM as a kid.
I mean ngl, I do like ATV as a concept like you said too, but damn its crap.

And this is coming from a guy who also loves Mr. Slamm in every TM game, except for TM4.
Kamikaze should have been Spectre and because Spectre was not in the game I enjoyed playing as Kamikaze
Top 10 worst characters-
Also on this list: some vehicles who where not characters at all…like Kamakazi,
I think the list should have been worst vehicles * ,
For me (without including Small Brawl cause I haven’t played it to much)
10. Crazy 8 (TM Black) very niche special considering the dumb way the A.I tends to turbo from 0-100 in an instant making it hard to hit his special consistently. Also why does he have a default version when it does literally nothing.
9. Flower Power (TM3) : similar to your reasons. Great design, everything else sucks.
8. Hammerhead (TM3): similar reasons as Nicks
7. Crimson Fury (TM1): a worse and pointless version of Mr. Grimm
6. Grasshopper (TM2): horrendous stats and special
5. Microblast (TM4): I hate his laugh so much.
4. Pit Viper (TM1) another worthless inferior version of Mr.Grimm
3. Twister (TM2): an extremely inconsistent special that tends to work whenever the game feels like it. The game god-awful physics also makes this vehicle impossible to control.
2. ATV (Head On): laughably weak character.

I think i may be the only person on the planet who loves tm3 and tm4😂😂
Sweetooth is very cheese but also so awesome at the same time..he deserves to be wayyy op😂
Only one I don't agree with is grasshopper. -Also sorry for being absent started hormones its been a wild month-
Yeah. Only because I really enjoy her huge damage (special, shield & remote bomb). Takes skill but worth the almost death damage.
Congrats on starting!
YO CONGRATS ON THE HORMONES
Yeehaw!!!!
I'm hoppin here! 😂
I can't believe hammerhead from tm3 is on your list. It's my favorite hammerhead. The jeep is sick. Love the physics of it
TM2 is the best
This comment is algorithm food
Before I watch the vid I'm guessing 90 percent of the vid is tm3 and 4 characters
Cool 👍👍
No offense but i feel this video is a bit misleading I throught you gonna talk actual characters not the cars
💀
great!!!
Did you just say you're not a fan of TM2?
@@supradoom yep
@@VicariousNickk That's a hot take if I've ever heard one.
I’d have to assume he’s a young buck and missed out on it when it was in its glory
@@chrisr7235 I'd assume so too. I played since TM1 but I couldn't get into 3-4. Black and the PS3 game did get me back but they didn't hold me like 2. TM head on was very good but it was obviously a nod to TM2.
@@supradoom yep same here! except after TM2 I went to Rogue trip…. Which I played a lot but not quite as much as TM 2
Me, Who Mains Flower Power: .... This is fine. This is... Yeah, this is fine. 🥹🥹
I respect it though. I don't know exactly why I main her, I guess it's cause I started playing tm3 for the first time and she was the easiest to understand for me, and I liked her special ability. I completely get why she's hated though.
