A Soulcalibur Troll Creates An Impossible-To-Beat Novelty Character

Soulcalibur VI has such an absurdly robust character creation tool that some players spend more time creating Pikachus, Marge Simpsons, and sexy nipple Sonics than they do duking it out in the ring. Of course, with that many options, it didn't take long for one inventive troll to tweak them into the dirtiest, cheapest video game fighter ever: The Rainbow Cube.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Best and defintely brightest.

In late October 2018, Soulcalibur VI's lobbies were invaded by a custom character that looked like a giant multicolored cube. This funky box was created by streamer Abbock (aka Cryin' Brian), who managed this abomination by employing a minor cheat which allowed him to increase the size of small aesthetic character apparel. Underneath the weird blocky exterior was still a regular Soul Calibur man/woman/freaky skeleton warrior with a regular moveset.

Nonetheless, the Cube utterly destroyed its opponents. That's because, unless you adhere to the sacred martial arts school called the Way of the Random Button Mash, fighting games are all about strategy and predicting your opponent's moves. And obviously, that's pretty hard to do when you're fighting a solid chunk of bright colors and don't know if your enemy's coming at you with a sword slash or skittering around on the ground like an S&M spider.

Bandai Namco Entertainment The other kind of dirty fighter.

The Emperor Of No Man's Sky Will Erase Your Base

SeriousGamerX is the self-declared emperor of No Man's Sky, destroying all human settlements that cross his gaze. Is he a masterful space tactician? Does he have a massive army? No, he's just a vulture who abuses a dumb loophole.

See, No Man's Sky only supports a certain amount of bases claimed per planet. So the imperial troll travels around looking for planets with unguarded human bases, and then spends hours of his fleeting, limited life claiming enough bases to "erase" the previous ones, like some weird beach bully who ruins sand castles by chucking his own, worse sand castles at them.

SeriousGamerX finally became the game's most hated troll when a prominent community leader reached out to him to engage in some friendly diplomacy. He replied by betraying her, destroying her base, and then mocking her for being a woman. He then cemented his true villain status by being kicked out of the known universe.

Hello GamesThe last thing the developers need are trolls making No Man's Sky an unplayable mess. They have that task well in hand themselves, thanks.

Elite: Dangerous Trolls Target Charity Streams To Cause Maximum Grief

Elite: Dangerous has a very dedicated fanbase. That is not always a positive thing. Take the Smiling Dog Crew, a band of griefers who wave ISIS imagery around and shout "Allahu Akbar" while blowing up defenseless players. They achieved notoriety during "the Mobius Incident," wherein they infiltrated the game's biggest private anti-PVP group (over 20,000 players) and started massacring defenseless spacers like roided-out Romulans.

But how do you top that kind of wanton aggression and senseless bullying? Well, ED trolls figured that the one thing worse than doing evil is undoing good. So SDC and other dedicated human monsters started ruining charity streams -- nice couch potatoes from all over the world performing in-game challenges to collect donations and raise awareness for good causes. But not even the notoriously hands-off devs at Frontier were going to let that kind of thing slide, so they announced they would start taking action against people who disrupted charity streams without invitation.

In response, SDC did something unexpected: They hosted a charity stream of their own called "Arseholes for Arseholes," during which they donated money to charity every time they griefed another player. That way, Frontier couldn't ban them for assholish behavior, since that assholish behavior was doing real-world good. Only a troll brain could think that doing community service means you've outsmarted everyone calling for you to be punished.
