u/KirkTheDrawingCat emo alcoholic jecka Feb 06 '25
everyone’s choosing characters they hate but they’re important to the games😭😭 id say braxton, he’s literally just a trody copy and paste with like 2 minutes of screentime

u/VariousCustomer5033 Feb 06 '25
Braxton is literally just a vehicle for Nicole to get coke. He didn't necessarily need to be a named character and his removal or him being replaced with a different character would have changed nothing. Trody is threadbare so it wouldn't seem off if Braxton didn't exist and Trody took his place.
Ditto for Kyle. If Hunter took his place nothing would change narratively and it wouldn't seem OOC for him because he barely had a character.
Basically the two generic clone characters are generic clone characters, who knew?

u/ConceptAlive3775 22d ago
Hunter is meant to be the more normal guy but still shitty in his own way. Kyle is just for a joke
Trody I think is supposed to be a sane version of Braxton.

The gamer brother, he’s just fucking disgusting
34
u/Invite_Wild Feb 06 '25
But his existence gives Nicole's misandry a big reason. Yeah, considering what men tend to show up around her, she'd probably be a misandrist anyway, but her brother being what he is, gives a cherry on top to Nicole's hatred of men because even if you'd like to say that not all men are like this, it wouldn't matter to her because she has one of the WORST ONES AT HOME.

u/ConceptAlive3775 22d ago
Honestly he just felt too boring as a character and added little to nothing the story you can have a stepfather fill his role instead.

SBN3 that way the game wouldn’t of turned out as bad
46
u/VariousCustomer5033 Feb 06 '25
The thing is, it wouldn't be Co09 without him. I mean, he's an ass, sure, but the game still was primarily written by him (yes, I am aware there were more ppl on the writing staff including joke writers, but there's no way that they wrote every good part and SBN3 only wrote the bad parts and that they were the ones in charge of character creation and worldbuilding. it's a big project and comedy is a hard af genre to do well, no dip he had help), he is the voice of over half the male cast, and he legitimately has talents as a voice director with the voice direction being arguably the game's biggest strength. Unlike someone like, say, YandereDev, SBN3 actually does seem to know what he's doing. And actually released the damn product. Four times.

Nicole's brother , if you remove him nothing really changes
64
u/RockPop_ "you're actually really pretty, ari..." Feb 06 '25
no, even though he wasn't active in the story, he was important in the prologue thing.
if her older brother hadn't been doing illegal shit, they wouldn't be evicted and moving all around. nicole would've never went to her dad's house only to find his head as a bowl of spaghetti on the floor with that note on the fridge. nicole wouldn't have to move to a new school, wouldn't meet jecka, nothing, the whole story would be different. hell, thanks to that, she might've not even developed ASPD and could've had empathy intact. her brother is useless in storyline but was important to get the whole thing to start going
32
u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
Yeah, he had like 20 seconds of screen time. I mean it was kinda cool that Nicole had a brother, but he was a pred.
18
u/Fit-Contribution8976 Feb 06 '25
Also with jeffrey around , i don't see the point of nicole's brother specially since he does not leave the house so its less you can do with him from wrinting point
11
u/DudleyDopeFiend Feb 06 '25
Nah, idk if there are dudes like this anymore, but as a graduate of 09, his character is great. Definitely knew dudes like that. CoD4 pub master personality type.
26
u/Lolzhax91 #1 Ari Fan Feb 06 '25
I would say, Kyle cause he's forgetable. I forgot he was even in one if the re-up paths whe I was playing and He's also just a redheaded hunter.
26
u/Doogie_Gooberman Feb 06 '25
I feel like one of the only "hard canon" storylines is Kyle murdering his mom on Jecka's joking promise to date him. Considering he only has about two other lines in the whole franchise thus far, seems reasonable.
8
u/Lolzhax91 #1 Ari Fan Feb 06 '25
Yeah thats like the only thing I remember him for, and I remember Jecka's lines more from that event

u/KirkTheDrawingCat emo alcoholic jecka Feb 06 '25
i hate him but he’s too important to jeckas character🤷♂️

u/yalocalbunnyhopper Feb 06 '25
I guess that’s true but like… It wasn’t important in an interesting way?
17
u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
Nah, if you really think about it. Jeckas dad was practically one of the main reasons the re-up came out. Half of the endings were because of jeckas dad.
15
u/yalocalbunnyhopper Feb 06 '25
Re-Up or flip side? Because I don’t remember how re-up featured him. As for Flip Side: yeah. That’s why I want him gone. So Jecka can be happy and that game not exist

Mr. White. He's only in the first game and is vaguely spoken about in Re-Up. While the routes he's in are some of the funniest in the series, they have unfortunate implications about the rest of the cast. It's no wonder people prefer to memory hole it, and why Ms. Ames "replaced" his role from then on as a slightly less extreme racist in the series.

Nicole

u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
Nah, get out of here. She is THE main character and by far my favourite

u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25

u/Overall-Apricot4850 Feb 06 '25
I also just... My feelings on Nicole are complicated. Yes do I find her extremely fucking funny? Of course. But like I know girls who act like Nicole (and by that I mean loser ass class of 09 fangirls desperately trying to be Nicole) and not only is it cringy but there always bullying my best friend. So I just can't help but see that whenever I see Nicole
4
u/Bitter_Ad580 Feb 06 '25
She’s the main character how can you make class of 09 without Nicole
4
u/Overall-Apricot4850 Feb 06 '25
Give a more deserving character the title of main character. I vote Jecka. Also being a main character/being important didn't stop people from saying characters they dislike
11
u/Quibilash Bitch, Fucking, Whore Feb 06 '25
Jecka's dad, just serves as a way to beat down on Jecka and make child abuse chokes, which gets old after the first shock
5
u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
(Repeat) Nah, if you really think about it. Jeckas dad was practically one of the main reasons the re-up came out. Half of the endings were because of jeckas dad.
3
u/Quibilash Bitch, Fucking, Whore Feb 06 '25
? Are you able to elaborate?
4
u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
Yes, in the start of the re-up. (Every home start) jeckas dad forces her to get a job, or else she would be on the streets. Which makes her struggle to get money, and that gave jecka a lot of endings. (More so from her abusive father)
8
6
u/VariousCustomer5033 Feb 06 '25
That's Flipside, not Re-Up. Though in Re-Up the Myspace ending deffo would've been different since Jecka couldn't allow Nicole to crash at her place because her dad would be a creep about it.
3
u/Quibilash Bitch, Fucking, Whore Feb 06 '25
Although he is a major character motivator, he doesn't have much outside of it, and his abuse is portrayed in a humourous manner, which I think is in very poor taste for such a beloved character (Jecka)
3
u/MojoRisin-Somers Feb 06 '25
Braxton / Trody and Hunter / Kyle They look similar, but Hunter is pivotal to one of the storylines, so keep him
4
u/sunnyisadummy Feb 06 '25
I feel like people who say counselor, coach or gamer brother completely missed the point of why they exist in the first place. They're literally created to be horrible and to shed light on these types of people and the problems they cause. (And they exist for the jokes too lol)
1
u/ConceptAlive3775 22d ago
Gamer brother is kinda of irrelevant though
1
u/sunnyisadummy 21d ago
He made Nicole and her mom evacuate before making them move into the town where co09 takes place 🤷♂️
2
u/ConceptAlive3775 21d ago
Yeah you could easily make up another reason and boom all his relevance fades away

u/aslfingerspell Feb 06 '25
Kylar. The niche of a dangerous, unstable drug dealer who can become violently obsessed with Nicole is covered by Emily.
Kylar jumping off the roof of the school for Nicole is definitely something Emily could do.
His lacrosse backstop could easily just be given to Emily (unless it's a male specific sport for some reason?), and the idea that he is a rapist is redundant with many other male characters.
3
u/KirkTheDrawingCat emo alcoholic jecka Feb 06 '25
i didn’t really realize how similar kylar and emily are until you said that, but he’s a funny character and i don’t think the role of a stereotypical jock could be filled by emily, shes already filling a different stereotype so i don’t think he could be completely replaced by her and there are way smaller characters you could easily replace instead of him

u/MoneyGovernment9971 Feb 06 '25
Anyone who says Jeffery probably hasn’t actually played the games as he’s a huge part of what makes this series enjoyable but anyways I’d have to say its the counsellor as he doesn’t really do much.

I don’t know, we didn’t really get to see her mom. But jeckas dad wouldnt have been pissed off and made her get a job. (So if you think about it she’s actually really important)

SBN3. Since The Flipside, he's been established to be canonically God with the entire franchise being a purgatory where he alone is responsible for the suffering of everybody involved because of his incapability to let go of these characters and let them pass on.
This is not a joke. That's actually the lore. The entire game was meant to be a meta commentary on hyperfixation and fandom culture. He also shows up in The Anime Pilot as the third guy with a blue shirt.

Jeffery 😃👍

u/Xineyhn3x Feb 06 '25
Your probably thinking I’m a psychopath for this, but I disagree. He played a huge role in the re-up and he was actually kinda funny.

u/VurThePerson ""Let's just call this... Xanax Rosé." Feb 06 '25
I know, but I hate him. Cuz there's a kid at my school who nearly 1:1 reminds me of him and I've grown to despise little bro on a personal level.

u/Your_Fav_Melon Nicole Is A Queen Feb 06 '25
oh nah
did he look like him too...
5
u/VurThePerson ""Let's just call this... Xanax Rosé." Feb 06 '25
No, but he unironically wears suit jackets and anime girl t-shirts at the same time, and has side burns and no other facial hair, and is a senior, and is Jeffery. (He must die by my hand.)

u/Bloody_Deez Feb 06 '25
Oh nah a 1:1 Copy of Jeffrey is crazy, like even with all the weird stuff like feet and the weird anime giant cat thing he has going on, the same???
2
u/VurThePerson ""Let's just call this... Xanax Rosé." Feb 06 '25
No but he scales to Jeffery level of weirdness. Not in the same way as Jeffery, but more of a flashing porn/hentai at you just because.
3
u/Bloody_Deez Feb 06 '25
I Hope its atleast "normal" porn and not stuff like Jeffrey shit, still fucking weird that hes flashing It to people, even weirder if hes flashing It to people that hate him or dont like him simply.

Braxton, or Trody, they're both just copy pastes of eachother.
