Banjo is the player character and protagonist in Rare's Banjo-Kazooie. A bear with a laid-back personality contrary to that of the other protagonist Kazooie, much of his popularity comes from his appearance in the acclaimed first game of the series. He was also added to Smash Bros Ultimate, which caused considerable shitposting from and towards anti-Banjo Stevefags on /v/.
Tournament History[edit]
Banjo has appeared in every King of /v/ tournament thus far. Despite often being hyped up and coming from a beloved game, Banjo is one of the consistently worst performing characters in the tournaments, having lost in round 1 in every single appearance, and always in a blowout. Due to his utterly abysmal record within the tournaments, Banjo is often mocked and referred to as a jobber.
In 2023 Banjo surprisingly qualified as the 29th seed, his highest yet, however, this did not stop him from jobbing both matches. Some speculation arose that Banjo's higher seed was a result of anons getting him to qualify specifically to vote against him in the main tournament to reinforce his jobber status. Still, 2023 wasn't all bad for BanJOB; he did manage to lose in a less spectacular fashion than previous years to Isaac as well as qualifying whereas his rival Steve did not. Unfortunately, Banjo's tendency to lose in round 1 would only be reinforced when he lost to Bowser in the first round of the losers' bracket.
Banjo's quest to make it out of round 1 alive will continue in King of /v/ 2024.
