5[[folder:The Main Hosts]]
6!!Creator/TylerSederwall (formerly known as [=AttackingTucans=])
7--> ''[[ToiletHumour Take a dump in the vagina, then watch the girl get really mad...]]''
8
9The creator of the versus series, and usually the editor. He tends to be ''very'' sexual and inappropriate with his commentary to a hilarious degree, particularly by how casually he makes jokes of the sort. So far, he has appeared in all of the ''Versus'' [=LPs=] except ''Link to the Past'' and a couple mini or MOOSE ones. His team is the 'Tyclan' (formerly the 'Tuclan').
10
11* TheAlcoholic: Briefly wondered during ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' if he could be considered this, because he spent 6-7 nights drinking for most of a year.
12* AssShove: A frequent part of his comedy.
13* BadLiar: He invokes this often for humour purposes. However, when he actually tries to lie to Josh, [[SubvertedTrope he usually pulls it off.]]
14* BerserkButton: Donna calling the stars "Shines" annoys him.
15* BigNo / BigYes: Frequently when he fails or succeeds. Sometimes he'll let one off just because Josh shouts out the opposite.
16* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Lost the first four Versus in a row (not counting one-offs), and even after his first victory, his wins stayed few and far between]]. However, this changed in late 2015.
17* CampGay: He came out a few years before ''Twilight Princess HD'' Versus, though Episode 2 of that versus was the first time he discussed it on video.
18* CloudCuckooLander: Exemplified in ''Luigi's Mansion Versus'' episode 6, when he goes on a long string of talking about wanting to lie down and how candy corn and pixie sticks sound awesome right now... [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Then squees over finding a golden mouse, sucks it up and goes right back to his train of thought.]]
19* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: On the giving end of this]] against Josh during Break the Targets of Super Smash Bros. Melee Versus where [[spoiler: he has 20 wins to Josh's 5]]
20** [[spoiler: On the receiving end of this]] during Mega Man Versus against LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun.
21* DespairEventHorizon: Parodied in ''Sunshine Versus''.
22--> '''Tyler''': I hate this project! I hate [[LetsPlay/JoshJepson you!]] I hate Piantas! [[CallBack I hate their porn!]] [[RunningGag I hate Vagisil!]] I hate [[CallBack Jesus Grandma!]] I hate...[[CallBack eating old men!]]
23** Played a bit more straight later on, when he dies literally ''right'' before getting the Shine Sprite in a level he had been having lots of trouble with. He ends up breaking down crying for a little bit.
24* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite trying to win and usually trying to screw with the other person so he can gain an edge, he'll still sometimes help them out if help is needed, or extend a video's length so they can finish up.
25** He also starts posting ContentWarnings during ''Galaxy Versus'' after seeing how much swearing and such was present in ''Sunshine Versus''.
26* GotMeDoingIt: He's started calling stars "shines" because of Donna.
27* HeroicBSOD: See DespairEventHorizon above.
28* HiddenDepths: He makes some awesome music, such as the intro music for ''Sunshine Versus'' and ''Galaxy Versus''.
29** Also, as revealed in ''Luigi's Mansion Versus'', he [[GeniusDitz has an IQ of 142]], which is genius level.
30* {{Keet}}
31* LargeHam
32* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Shut up, [X], your life is ''not'' as difficult as mine!" Replace [X] with something like Anne Frank or starving African children, and you get the basic idea of the phrase.
33* {{Malaproper}}: Sometimes done jokingly, like when he calls the anteroom "the anteater room". Other times he really does keep saying it wrong, like saying "Luigi Mansions" instead of "Luigi's Mansion".
34* ManChild: He's likely one of the most immature people you'll ever meet. He seems to use his off-color commentary in place of anything intelligent.
35* OhCrap: A lot. If it's a big one, usually followed by a BigNo or AtomicFBomb.
36* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Zig-zagged. The people he races against call him Tyler, but he always introduces himself as [=AttackingTucans=].
37** Completely inverted since he started going by 'Creator/TylerSederwall' rather than '[=AttackingTucans=]'.
38* PhraseCatcher: "Goddammit, Tyler", most often said by Josh to him.
39* RealMenWearPink: Most noticeable in ''Galaxy Versus'', in which he often manages to out-girly LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}.
40* RedOniBlueOni: Always red.
41* SirSwearsalot: Given that he has a very vulgar sense of humor.
42* TantrumThrowing: In [[spoiler: "Flappy Bird Versus"]].
43* ToiletHumour: Regularly.
44* TookALevelInBadass: After [[spoiler:losing the vast majority of Versus in the channel's first few years, he began rebounding with ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and spent much of 2016 dramatically narrowing the gap between his and Josh's win counts]].
45* TotallyRadical: Uses this way of speaking sometimes, particularly his constant usage of the word "totally" (occasionally shortened to "totes").
46* {{Troll}}: During ''Sunshine'', he flips Josh's screen upside-down in editing for a few minutes. Then in part 5 of ''Galaxy'', not only does he get away with losing fewer star bits from a Bit Blowout, he [[spoiler: previously had Donna do a ''double'' Bit Blowout]].
47* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to episode 10 of ''Galaxy'', anyway.
48** Later in episode 24(?) he reveals that he once won a prize for being best Christian Boy Scout in the state of Missouri.
49---> '''Tyler:''' ...WHAT WENT WRONG?!
50* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: When it seemed like he was going to win 64 versus, along with winning his first versus ever, he died near the end of the final red coin mission. Josh caught up, and won the versus because of that.]]
51** [[spoiler: In Sunshine Versus 2, Tyler had a massive, massive lead over Josh for a large chunk of the Versus, but all it took was one stroke of luck and better pathing to get blue coins, and Josh not only caught up, but beat him by at least ten minutes.]]
52
53
54!!LetsPlay/JoshJepson
55--> ''[[IAmAHumanitarian I'm...eating old men!]]''
56
57The first person Tyler raced against, and his usual opponent. Co-founder of the versus series. First appeared in ''Sunshine Versus'' and ''Luigi's Mansion Versus'', latter of which he hosted and edited. His commentary is a bit like Tyler's, likely due to being around him, but not nearly as bad and he is usually the more down-to-earth of the two. His team is the 'Jepsquad'.
58
59* AlliterativeName
60* [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Aw Look They Really Are Friends]]: Mentions how much fun he had doing ''Sunshine Versus'' with Tyler at the end of the project, despite the constant bickering, yelling, and fighting the two did throughout the whole thing.
61* BerserkButton: Insulting his grandma seems to be one.
62** He also got pissed and started cussing at his dad when he came in and interrupted their recording. Yes, cussing ''at'' his dad.
63--> '''Josh''': (to his dad) Close the door, you [[PrecisionFStrike fucker!]]
64* ButtMonkey:
65** Held this status throughout most of ''Sunshine Versus'' at the hands of Tyler.
66** Happened in ''Galaxy'' too, despite his not even being involved.
67** Big time in [[spoiler: ''Donkey Kong Country'' Versus and ''Super Mario 64'' 4-Way]].
68** In general, he essentially became the channel's official Butt Monkey in [[spoiler:late 2015, thanks to an almost ''yearlong'' drought in which he not only lost to Tyler consistently, but came in last for Versus with more than two competitors (i.e. ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]'' and ''Super Mario 64'' 4-Way). The only victories he did have during this period were for minor or one-off Versus, and even those were rare]].
69* CurbStompBattle: On the receiving end of this in [[spoiler:''Super Smash Bros. Melee''[='=]s Break the Targets, ''Donkey Kong Country'', ''Donkey Kong Country'' MOOSE (which Tyler mocks him for in TheStinger), and ''Super Mario 64'' 4-Way]].
70* DeadpanSnarker
71* DudeNotFunny: In-universe; his reaction to Tyler's "funny" story about these dogs attacking another dog.
72* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he curses a lot, he avoids saying [[NWordPrivileges a certain word]].
73* HaHaHaNo: During the game of twenty questions with Tyler, he does this a lot.
74* HappilyMarried: His wife Brooke accompies him in "Pokémon Go! Versus".
75* HeroicBSOD: Has them quite a bit, when it's not a raging freakout.
76* HeroicSecondWind: [[spoiler: After spending most of ''Super Mario Sunshine Versus 2'' lagging behind Tyler, he manages to catch up and take the lead in time for the end]].
77* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: Had one in the ''Ocarina of Time'' finale, making his frustration at losing even worse]].
78* IAmAHumanitarian: PlayedForLaughs; he claims to be "eating old men" in an episode of ''Sunshine Versus'' during a game of Bop.
79--> '''Josh''': The first verb I thought of was "eating" and I was right next to an old man.
80* InsistentTerminology: What becomes a RunningGag:
81--> '''Josh''': I don't listen to ''shitty'' music.
82* LargeHam: "NO! BANANAS! BANAAAANAAAS! MY BANANAS!"
83* LineOfSightName: How he created his infamous "eating old men" phrase, at least for the "old men" part.
84* NoJustNoReaction: To Tyler, quite a bit.
85* OnlySaneMan
86* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Tyler's red, red to Stephen's and Jirard's blue.
87* SirSwearsalot: Less than Tyler, but still enough to qualify for this trope.
88* SoreLoser: He's friendly and agreeable most of the time, but when he's noticeably falling behind, his temper and vocabulary reflect it. Tyler lampshades this during the Spirit Temple episodes of ''Ocarina of Time Versus''.
89-->'''Josh''': You know what my favourite part of a Versus is? '''[[spoiler: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NOT! FUCKING! LOSING!]]]]'''
90* StraightMan
91* TemptingFate: Occasionally. [[spoiler: In a rare case where it ended up helping, he says near the beginning of ''Sunshine Versus'' that he's going to suck, only to end up winning.]]
92* TookALevelInJerkass: PlayedForLaughs with how he went from tolerating and snarking at Tyler to bluntly insulting and yelling at him, with little provocation besides Tyler being [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Tyler]].
93* UnreliableNarrator: He makes use of lying to Tyler about his progress often, and more than Tyler does to him.

95
96[[folder:Main Versus Guests]]
97!!LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}
98--> ''[[InsistentTerminology SHIIIINE!]]''
99
100The second person Tyler raced against, appearing in ''Super Mario Galaxy Versus''. Usually on par with Tyler in terms of energy. Her team is 'Bellez Bitches'.
101
102* AlliterativeName: Her "team" is named Bellezbitches, or Bellez Bitches.
103* BadLiar: She has trouble lying to Tyler, and can easily be seen through, though Tyler seems to usually believe her (albeit not without suspicion).
104* TheCameo: Appeared in the Cuckoo challenge of Tyler and Josh's community versus.
105* CatchPhrase: "SHINE!" when she gets a star.
106* CloudCuckooLander: Less than Tyler, but still there.
107* GenkiGirl
108* MsFanservice: In the last episode of Galaxy versus, she ends up [[spoiler: taking off both her pants ''and'' bra]] because of how hot her room is. And on top of that, [[spoiler: she starts cheering upon getting the "shine".]]
109-->'''Tyler:''' You're exciting all the fanboys excited right now. They're all- You giving them all boners right now. God damn it Donna.
110* NeverSayThatAgain: Her response to the nickname Donnaballz by Tyler.
111* OhCrap: Upon realizing that, though she ''thought'' she cleared the surfing level, she actually [[KaizoTrap died after completing it]] and had to redo it.
112* RedOniBlueOni: While she is the blue to Tyler's red, she still is red generally.
113* SouthernBelle: Has this kind of accent.
114* {{Troll}}: Uses her lifelines to do this to Tyler.
115** This also seems to be why she keeps saying "SHINE!"
116* WritersCannotDoMath: When Tyler forces her to get rid of 500 Star Bits when she has 699, she does the math wrong and gets rid of 530 instead.
117
118!!LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}
119
120The third person Tyler raced against, appearing in ''Sonic Adventure 2 Versus''. She's about as vulgar as Tyler. Her team is the 'Lucah Troopas.' At the time of writing, she has yet to have a proper appearance on the Versus channel.
121
122* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Duels with Tyler about who can be more inappropriate, and sometimes beats him.
123* ButtMonkey: In ''Super Mario Sunshine Versus'' even though she never actually appeared in it.
124* DeadpanSnarker
125* TheDeterminator: Even when she got a game over in Eternal Engine, and Final Rush, she still tried to beat Tyler in those levels even though she knew she would have to start all over. [[spoiler: Doesn't stop Tyler from winning in those two levels though.]]
126* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Whenever Eggman appears on-screen, she'll make a comment about how alike they are in terms of appearance.
127* TheLadette
128* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Mostly called Lucah in the versus.
129* RedOniBlueOni: Like with Josh and Donna, is the blue oni to Tyler.
130* SirSwearsALot
131
132!!LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun
133
134The fourth person Tyler raced against, appearing in ''Mega Man Versus'' and again with Tyler, Josh, and Jon in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' 4-Way Versus. Is one of the three main members of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys, and Tyler's let's play inspiration. His team is the 'Capri Club'.
135
136* TheAce: Shows the most skill of Tyler's competitors. [[spoiler: Wins VideoGame/MegaMan1 Versus without breaking a sweat and is in the lead during pretty much the entirety of of the Mario 64 4-Way. He even wins it too.]]
137* BewareTheNiceOnes: Becomes this in ''Super Mario 64'' 4-way Versus, and proudly embraces it:
138-->'''Tim''': I told you, I'm not fucking around! I'm the motherfucking antagonist, yo!
139* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Subverted if you watch LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys. Used to his color being green? Well, Josh already has that as his color, so in the Super Mario 64 4-way versus, his color is red.
140* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: He stayed ahead of Tyler for pretty much all of Mega Man Versus, and also stayed ahead of Jon and especially Tyler and Josh, for nearly all of the Mario 64 4-Way Versus. By the end of the video, he decides to continue to get more stars for the heck of it while waiting for Tyler and Josh to run out of time to play.]]
141* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in the very short ''Mega Man'' Versus, years before he'd be one of the participants of the longer-running ''Super Mario 64'' four-way versus.
142* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler: Winning VideoGame/MegaMan1 Versus]] didn't surprise very many viewers.
143* NiceGuy: Easily the nicest Let's Player to appear in a Versus. He's respectful of Tyler during Mega Man Versus and when he boasts about how good he is at the game, he immediately apologizes.
144* RedOniBlueOni: Is the blue oni to Tyler, and is also the blue oni in comparison to the other let's players Tyler raced against.
145
146!![=Gameboy Luke=]
147--> HI!
148
149Raced against both Tyler and Josh ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon FireRed]]'' versus. His team is the '8-Bit Bros'.
150
151* TheAce: He's very experienced with Pokémon, making him a formidable opponent. Meanwhile, Josh is about average and Tyler is almost entirely new to the series.
152* BerserkButton: Apparently he got fed up with his dad telling him "I am your father" due to being named Luke.
153** When a lifeline forces him to get rid of his Master Ball, right as he was about to fight Articuno, he is ''very'' unhappy.
154* CatchPhrase: "HI!"
155** "[[BlatantLies I'm Tyler Sederwall!]]"
156* HandicappedBadass: Willingly starts the series with Charmander, which gives him a disadvantage to the first two gyms, while Tyler and Josh start with ones that give them an advantage instead. He still has little problem holding a lead.
157* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to both Tyler and Josh.
158
159!!LetsPlay/ProtonJon
160
161Raced against Tyler, Josh, and [=NCS=] in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' 4-Way Versus. Is one of the three main members of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys. Hasn't come up with a team name yet, but comments have given his team fan names such as "Proton Jon Eggs" or "[[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Proton Pack]]".
162
163* CanadaEh: The Canadian Let's Player joins the three Americans in a 4-Way.
164* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: He and Tim both beat Super Mario 64 with over 10 stars higher than both Tyler and Josh. By the end of the video, Jon just starts playing Ninja Gaiden while waiting for Josh and Tyler to run out of time to play.]]
165* DeadpanSnarker: Wouldn't be Jon without his dry wit.
166* OddNameOut: In the first episode of the Super Mario 64 four-way, Tyler and Josh's usernames are their first and last names, and Tim goes along with the theme by using his real name as well. Jon at first refuses to say his name, then throughout the episode claims his name is actually Proton Jon. Doubles as a CallBack to when a similar joke was made in early LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys videos.
167* OhCrap: Has a minor one after pulling the RealityWarper moment below, since they apparently having a "no glitches" rule and he quickly checked to make sure he didn't just break it.
168* RealityWarper: During the Whomp King boss fight, he pulls a glitch where he Ground Pounds and goes through the Whomp and onto his back.
169* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Tim, but the Blue to [[LargeHam Tyler and Josh]].
170* RunningGag: Tyler acting as if Jon's advertising a new channel that rhymes with Jon, such as [=ProtonLawn=], [=ProtonDawn=], and Proton Wrestling/JohnCena.
171
172!!Squillistipated
173
174Tyler's roommate who gets brought up in conversation sometimes, and runs some shows on his channel such as ''Who Wants to be a Gilionaire?'' and ''So You Wanna Be A Master?''. Ran the tech for their ''Ocarina of Time: Master Quest'' livestream. Name is often shortened to just "Squill", and despite not being a player on Versus at the time, he has a team called the Squillionaires. He joins Tyler in a 2-vs-2 Versus in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Subspace Emissary]] Versus.
175
176* AscendedExtra: Made occasional appearances in some videos, but is now a challenger Subspace Emissary Versus.
177* DeadpanSnarker
178* TheGadfly: He often taunts or teases Tyler and Josh as they play.
179* TheLancer: He becomes Tyler's partner in Subspace Emissary Versus.
180* MisterSeahorse: Jokingly claims in the first episode of Subspace Emissary Versus that he gets asked at bars if he's pregnant.
181* NervesOfSteel: When Josh and Tyler have to eat habanero peppers as a donation challenge, they're reduced to screaming, passing a jug of milk back and forth, and - in Tyler's case - literally running around the room flailing his arms. Squill grabs a decently sized pepper, pops it in his mouth, and after a moment of no reaction, tells Tyler to "man up". Backfires on him when he later has to eat even more peppers and it starts getting to him.
182* OnlySaneMan: He has his moments of snarkiness or hamminess during the ''Master Quest'' livestream, but for the most part he's just laughing at the two hosts along with us. In Subspace Emissary he shares this role with Ian.
183* PhraseCatcher: "Squill?" No context, no reason, just randomly making his name a question.
184** For a time, once again with no context or reason, the chat kept asking him to "drop it hard".
185* TemptingFate: Early in the Master Quest 24-hour livestream, he claims he'll end up staying up longer than Tyler. He falls asleep about three quarters into the stream and Tyler stays awake through it all.
186* ThatsWhatSheSaid: Gets one in right before Subspace Emissary Versus part 2 ends, when something is called "long and fantastic".
187
188!![=BrutalMoose=]

191
192* HypercompetentSidekick: Josh's player two and much better at the game than him.
193* TheLancer: To Josh in Subspace Emissary Versus.
194* OnlySaneMan: Shares this role with Squill for their respective partners.
195* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: He gets rather irritated (jokingly, of course) with Josh's performance, especially when he ends up killing himself twice in a row because he gets their characters mixed up.
