5	Charlie Guzman, better known online as [[https://www.youtube.com/@DashieGames DashieGames]] or simply Dashie for short, born June 11, 1985, is a Dominican-American {{YouTube Lets Player\|s}} who is well known for being [[NoIndoorVoice loud as hell]], very HotBlooded, and [[SirSwearsALot excessively swearing]].
6
7	He plays many video games of almost every genre, including but not limited to: ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'', and ''VideoGame/GeometryDash''.
8
9	Despite this channel being his most popular, his main channel is actually WebVideo/DashieXP, where he puts up videos of skits and other sketches.
10	-----
11	!!"Without further ado!...LET'S TROPE THIS SHIT!"
12	* AchievementsInIgnorance: While playing ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', Dashie managed to [[spoiler:save Kate]] without using a walkthrough and completely on accident. This caused ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' to become one of his most requested playthroughs, garnering tens of thousands of likes in less than an ''hour''. Special mention goes to how the last choice was made, [[spoiler:where Dashie only chose "Matthew 11:28" because he ''knew'' a Matthew and because it was 11:30 when he was recording the video]].
13	* AllMenArePerverts: Dashie's sense of humor is not above a few dirty jokes here and there, mainly towards ([[AmbiguouslyBi though not exclusively]]) female characters.
14	* AmbiguouslyBi: Seems to have a bit of a crush on Link from the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
15	* {{Angrish}}: Much of his appeal comes from hearing him try (and often fail) to speak coherent sentences during his rages.
16	* AnimalNemesis: Donkey Kong seems to be Dashie's worst enemy.
17	** Barney as well, to a degree.
18	* AscendedMeme: [[invoked]] The title of Dashie's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVDXkkckxXc ORENGE YOSHI VS. DONKEY B#TCH ASS!! MARIO KART 8]]", stemming from his [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] misspelling of the word "oranges" as "orenges" in his "Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune" episode.
19	** He even cracks a joke about the name "Orange Yoshi", saying that it was misspelled.
20	** Extends to other games too. For example, in ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', his Crewmate/Impostor is always the Orange one.
21	* ATeamFiring: Downplayed. While Dashie does manage to get hits sometimes, he frequently lampshades and proves that his aim is "fucked up."
22	* AtomicFBomb: Considering who we're talking about, basically every F-bomb he drops is this.
23	** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd-7noordxk DASHIE VS. SUBSCRIBERS]]", Dashie delivers a ''slowed-down'' version (that gets [[CurseCutShort cut off]] by a SmashCut, no less) after Dashie finds out that [[spoiler:he missed out on 3rd place [[DecidedByOneVote by one point]].]]
24	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlrsdZ_1J7M 11 DONKEY B#TCH ASSES VS. 1 YOSHI]]" ends with Dashie leaving his chair and then delivering quite a hefty one about 10 seconds later after [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle he got his ass handed to him, being unable to place even in the top 5 for a single race]].]]
25	* AxCrazy: Dashie also enjoys killing his enemies as brutally as possible, as seen with him constantly trying break the legs of the zombies in [[VideoGame/DyingLight Dying Light]] and ''really'' enjoying the fatalities in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''.
26	* BerserkButton:
27	** While Dashie already has a HairTriggerTemper as is, Donkey Kong's presence alone is enough to make him lose it.
28	** Specific to ''VideoGame/GeometryDash'', he hates it when he dies right before the beat drops in a song, always resulting in a BigNo.
29	** Specific to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', he hates it when level creators put in "dev exits", which are secret paths that leads directly to the goal. If he finds one, or if his fans find one and tell him about it, he’ll blacklist the creator of the level and not play any of their levels again.
30	* BigNo: He delivers these frequently whenever he's about to be screwed over.
31	* BigWhat: He delivers these regularly whenever he witnesses something bewildering.
32	* BigYes: He also delivers these frequently whenever he succeeds, especially against small odds.
33	* BileFascination: InUniverse. He will sometimes LP games with bad reputations, just to see what all the fuss is about. E.g., ''[[Film/BadBoysII Bad Boys]]: [[LicensedGame Miami Takedown]]''.
34	* BilingualBonus: His native language is Spanish since he was born in the Dominican Republic, and as a result he occasionally speaks it in his videos, sometimes without subtitles.
35	* BuffySpeak:
36	** When he's explaining something, expect all the nouns to be replaced with [[SirSwearsALot "shit."]]
37	** Will often refer to mechanics by the sound they make, such as calling the Super Star in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' the "Da-Da-Da Da-Da Da Da-Da!" or the concept of [[PowerLossMakesYouStrong losing power-ups in order to fit into small places]] a "Choanch-Choanch-Choanch!"
38	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He may be a HotBlooded CloudCuckooLander... But he's also a pretty-talented gamer and video-editor, and can drop pretty-sick rhymes when he feels like it.
39	* CasanovaWannabe: He portrays himself as this in some of his live action videos. It's also worth mentioning that he'll often hit on female [=NPCs=]. Regardless of whether or not hooking up with them is an option. This is especially evident in his ''VideoGame/{{Huniepop}}'' gameplay. And yes, if there's a female killer/monster/etc. in one of his SurvivalHorror playthroughs, expect him to give her the YouSexyBeast treatment.
40	* CharacterCatchphrase:
41	** His intro. "WHAT UP?! It's Dashie, and welcome (back) to [name of game]-uh, [noise or word that rhymes with game]-uh."
42	** "And welcome back! Yes, BACK! To ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMake''r! Oh, you know, I know you know, the game where ya make me levels, tweet 'em to me, I play 'em, AND I RAGE THE FUCK OUT! Without further ado--WAIT, WAIT A SECOND WAIT! Uhhhh, Ma boys, (announcement about upcoming games or events)
43	** "WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!...(runs while looking to either side of him)'''LET'S DO THIS SHIT!'''"
44	** At the start of a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' video: "WEL-COME BACK TO SUPE! SUPER MARIO MAKER! WEL-COME BACK TO SUPE! [[MotorMouth IHOPEYALLHAVEAGOODASSWEEKEND]]!"
45	** "Holla at yo' boy! FUUU!"
46	** ''(hums to the stage complete tune of Super Mario 3D World)'' HOES!"
47	** (when he dies in a super mario world-based level) Duka-dukka-dukka-dukka-dukka-dukka-dukka-dukka-dun. [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Bitch]]
48	** "Fuck a stamp!"
49	** "Bap, bap, bap" when he's getting into the rhythm of something or a hearty "BAP!" when striking down his enemies.
50	** "''(name of character)''-Bitch Ass"
51	** "Pause", usually in response to something that could have a sexual meaning.
52	** "Hold up, baby girl!"
53	** [[BigNo "NOOOOO!"]]
54	** [[BigWhat "WHAAAT?!"]]
55	** "I'll stop," for whenever he makes a very bad pun.
56	** "This is that bull-bull/bullshit!"
57	** Going up... on a Tuesday!
58	** "Dachie! Dachie! Why haven't you played X?" whenever he's imitating his viewers questioning why he hasn't played game X some time.
59	** "My blood pressure!" Whenever a game or level gets very intense and drives him to frustration.
60	** "It's Monday, everybody's favorite day of the week." Says this at the start of his Happy Wheels videos, which he releases on Mondays.
61	** "My boys, m-, m-, my boys." Whenever he is in an unavoidable situation. He says this despite there being one character on the screen at that given time.
62	** "Puh" and "diugh" for female and male genitalia, respectively.
63	** When Dashie dies on a ''Mario Maker'' level that is too difficult for him, he'll RageQuit and show it by yelling "NEXT!" on the last note of the game over tune.
64	** "A'ight, y'all!"
65	** "Ghetto parties and bottles of water!" Said in a British accent whenever UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} is brought up.
66	** "Gimme something juicy!" When running through a ''Mario Kart'' item box. Is sometimes said with "juice" replacing "juicy".
67	** "Damn, I'm smart!" Whenever he solves a puzzle or difficult situation in a game, usually in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker''.
68	* TheChewToy: He even lampshades this during one ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' playthrough:
69	-->'''Dashie:''' That kind of shit only happens to ME!
70	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Known for his weird movements during his intro and outro and his over-the-top reactions to dying in a game.
71	* ClusterFBomb:
72	** Most of his videos have more instances of the word "fuck" than an Eminem album.
73	** "Shit" seems to be his favorite word, since he uses it as a substitute for a majority of nouns.
74	* CowardlyLion: Constantly ScreamsLikeALittleGirl in his SurvivalHorror playthroughs, yet keeps trucking on through them for his viewers.
75	* DeadpanSnarker: Despite being known for being quite loud, he does occasionally have the deadpan moment.
76	* DistractedByTheSexy: Dashie almost always stops what he is doing whenever a "baby girl" shows up. This happens a lot during his ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' playthrough, to the point where it's as ridiculous as the actual game's sexuality.
77	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
78	** Dashie's earlier gameplay videos are much more calm, having ''way'' less screaming and shouting. This is noticable during his videos in 2014, where Dashie's voice gets progressively louder. Invariably, there will be a comment by a user flummoxed at the video starting with "What up? It's Dashie." rather than '''''WHAT UP? IT'S DASHIE!!!'''''
79	** Dashie originally reserved the FaceCam seldomly, mainly for HorrorVideoGames. Nowadays, the FaceCam is a staple of the channel.
80	** Dashie made playthrough videos on ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, which was before his hatred for DK arisen in the ''Mario Kart'' playthroughs.
81	*** The ''Mario Kart 8'' videos themselves show this. Newer fans might find it odd that in the first few episodes, Dashie not only didn't hate Donkey Kong, but actually liked him!
82	----> '''Dashie:''' [[invoked]] [[HilariousInHindsight "I think Donkey is a nice guy, you know, he's just... just misunderstood."]]
83	* EnsembleDarkHorse: InUniverse examples:
84	** In stark contrast to his Donkey Kong-hate – he's taken quite the shine to Yoshi, who's become his go-to character in games like ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''.
85	** In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVDXkkckxXc episode]] of ''Mario Kart 8'', he admitted that [[GracefulLoser he was okay with Lakitu beating him]], since he had cool goggles that he liked and because he played as Lakitu once and thought he was a "cool nerd."
86	* EpicFail:
87	** [[invoked]] At the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYTNIjZWpAo this video]] (playing games based on ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' and ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' to show everyone that he's smart), Dashie manages to misspell "oranges" (spells it like "orenges"). As of now, it looks like his fans [[NeverLiveItDown aren't gonna let him live that down]].
88	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYojjuwek6s Here]] (playing a game based on ''Series/FamilyFeud''), he initially loses 189-320; but retries, not wanting to "leave on this L"... And loses again, by '''''[[CurbStompBattle 0-403]]'''''; leaving him in a HeroicBSOD for the rest of the video.
89	* FakeDifficulty: A handful of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' levels Dashie plays are all made ridiculously hard for Dashie but contain shortcuts to the end that the level creator put in so they can beat the level quicker and get it online faster. Dashie has been able to find a lot of these shortcuts and isn't afraid to call people out on it.
90	* FastForwardGag: In his ''World's Hardest Game'' video, there's a part where the footage is sped up and Dashie's voice is pitched up like a chipmunk. Nowadays, when he makes footage faster all audio stays at normal pitch.
91	* FridgeLogic: InUniverse. In his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzjRAqdg248 second episode]] of ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}} 2'', Dashie plays one of his songs, which has a chorus that goes, "This too hot, so call the ambulance". Dashie pauses and states that if it's too hot, then they should call the fire department.
92	* FunPersonified: You'll rarely see a serious moment with this one, folks.
93	* GenreSavvy:
94	** In his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' series, Dashie is extremely keen on tricks in levels that his fans make for him.
95	*** Him trying to find invisible power-ups is basically an instinct.
96	*** When levels start, he'll immediately run to the left to avoid the falling Thwomp that fans often put above the spot where Mario begins.
97	*** Since people tend to give themselves shortcuts to beat them easier, Dashie is also very observant when he sees what he considers to be a shortcut.
98	** In one ''GTA V'' video, Dashie sees a cat and aims his gun at it, but decides not to follow through because he knows his fans will be mad at him for killing an innocent animal.
99	* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't seem to take much to frustrate him, ''especially'' in his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' gameplays, where he frequently loses his mind at nearly every minute.
100	* HeroicBSOD: Sometimes after a particularly bad (or repeated) fail at a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' level, Dashie won't throw a fit and instead simply quietly stares off into space.
101	* HiddenDepths: Despite his constant yelling and BuffySpeak, Dashie is legitimately capable of freestyle rap at almost any time.
102	%%* HotBlooded:
103	* TheHyena: When he does laugh, Dashie often becomes this.
104	* IfItsYouItsOkay:
105	** Whenever [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] shows up, he frequently mentions how he's [[PrettyBoy "pretty as fuck"]]:
106	---> '''Dashie:''' ''(hits Link while using a Super Star in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'')'' I'm sorry, Link! I love you! ''({{Beat}})'' Call me later!
107	*** His first [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifti83g-VVo Breath of the Wild]] gameplay is basically 12 minutes of him gushing about how "beautiful" Link is.
108	** In his ''Amazing Spider-Man 2'' playthrough, he constantly stops to talk about Spidey's physical appearance, only to backtrack and [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial deny any attraction towards him]]:
109	---> '''Dashie:''' Oooh, he's lounging. Hold up man his penis is all up-ALRIGHT, not that I'm looking! Hold up man, calm down! I don't have a thing for Spider-Man. Man, y'all crazy. It's all in your imagination. [[IResembleThatRemark But really look at his arms]] and shi-WHAT no! Man, stop.
110	* IHatePastMe: He is annoyed by how calm and uninteresting he was in his older videos.
111	%%* JiveTurkey
112	* LampshadeHanging: He frequently points out his mistakes, as well as certain characters seeming to lack common sense.
113	* LargeHam: Dashie's over-the-top reactions, [[NoIndoorVoice lack of an indoor voice]], and tendency to EmphasizeEverything, make him notably hammy.
114	* LittleNo: He delivers these just as common as his {{Big No}}s for the same reasons.
115	%%* LovableSexManiac
116	* MaleGaze: Dashie is not shy about looking at the ladies, to say the least.
117	* MorePopularSpinOff: Dashie's gaming channel has significantly more subscribers than his main channel.
118	* MyGreatestFailure: He has two major examples that are both PlayedForLaughs:
119	** His inability to [[spoiler:save Chris]] in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn''. This has become a running gag in a lot of his videos on choice-based games. Though, he did manage to correct his mistake during a live stream, it's still held against him to this day.
120	** His humorous misspelling of the word "Oranges" as "Orenges" during his ''Wheel of Fortune'' gameplay. This has since become one of the biggest memes on his channel, with another WOF gameplay being made simply to correct his mistake prior.
121	* NeverBareheaded: Dashie always wears a hat or beanie in his videos.
122	* NiceGuy: Despite what some of the more negative tropes on this page might suggest, Dashie is still a laidback, easygoing, and even affable guy.
123	* NoEnding: The 98th ''Super Mario Maker'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46RgUzqjoWc episode]] abruptly ends with Dashie so exasperated from a [[PlatformHell particularly difficult level]] that he doesn't do his SigningOffCatchPhrase.
124	* NoIndoorVoice: Dashie yells more than he talks normally.
125	* NoNonsenseNemesis: Will sometimes force himself to stop wasting time – by saying something like, "Just be a thug about it!" And if he's on an especially brutal streak – he'll say something like, "I DON'T PLAY!"
126	* OlderThanTheyLook: Looks like he just graduated high school, and sounds like he's in his 20s. Is actually in his early 40s.
127	* {{Overcrank}}: Has sometimes slowed down parts of a video for comic effect or to show something happening more visibly. He has also slowed down his signature "YEAH!" at the end of a video, as well as an AtomicFBomb.
128	* OverlyLongGag: His reaction during his ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' playthrough when it is revealed that [[spoiler:Mark Jefferson]] is the true villain of the game.
129	--> "WHAT??? ''(laughs)'' WHAT??? WHAT??? DIDN'T HE [[spoiler:JUST GIVE A FUCKING SPEECH?!!]] WHAT??? YO, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT THEY THREW YOUR BOY OFF!! Hold the fuck...WHAT??? FOR REAL??"
130	* PsychoForHire: In certain Let's Plays.
131	--> "I don't give a damn about justice! I'm in it for blood!"
132	* PungeonMaster: Dashie has a knack for puns, albeit tending to pat himself on the back for them [[SelfDeprecation before swiftly apologizing]]. Many of them ''are'' worthy of the apologies he'll give, but on other occasions he does manage to make some genuinely smooth impromptu wordplay.
133	-->'''Dashie ([[https://youtu.be/3uNahD3f6-0?list=PLIzcIrbSkCz67Zc2tvj0I1_dcq-ANRdfe&t=564 during]] the course overview of [[VideoGame/MarioKart8 Music Park]], after seeing the music note obstacles):''' Yo that's a song that I ''don't'' wanna hear! But maybe, we can ''remix'' this! HWHAT-! Okay I'm sorry!
134	* RageQuit: Especially in his ''Super Mario Maker'' playthroughs, courtesy of some particularly {{Troll}}ish levels (many of which, are created specifically for him – at that).
135	* RedOniBlueOni: Dashie is the [[red:Red Oni]] to [=RunJDRun's=] [[blue:Blue Oni]]. Dashie is more loud, rowdy and rambunctious while JD is calm, level-headed and sensible.
136	* RootingForTheEmpire: InUniverse. During the FinalBattle in ''VideoGame/{{Tattletail}}'', he invokes AlternativeCharacterInterpretation – that the [[GoodAllAlong Tattletails]] are {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s toward [[BigBad Mama Tattletail]] – and decides he now wants her to win... [[InsaneTrollLogic despite the former trying to stop the latter from killing him]].
137	* RunningGag: He has so many they needed [[RunningGag/DashieGames their own page]].
138	* SanitySlippage: He gradually loses his mind in more or less every ''Super Mario Maker'' video as his reactions get more and more crazy and his edits get more and more bizarre.
139	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: More often than not will refer to an item in a video game by the sound effect it makes (i.e. calling a Super Star in ''Mario'' a "Dadadadadadadadada" or the finish line in ''Happy Wheels'' a "Dadada").
140	** Amusingly, he refers to pipes, power-ups and power-downs in ''Super Mario Maker'' all as "trounch-trounch-trounch" because all of them make the same sound effect.
141	* TheScrappy: InUniverse examples:
142	** Dashie cannot ''stand'' Donkey Kong--especially in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''. Everytime he shows up in ''any'' of his gameplay videos, he frequently voices his dislike of the character, often calling him "Donkey Bitch-Ass".
143	*** In his second "reacting to old gaming videos" video, Dashie stated that he actually enjoyed Donkey Kong before ''Mario Kart 8'' came out, and played a lot of his games.
144	** Dashie highly dislikes underwater ''Super Mario Maker'' levels, which fans often include as a part of (if not all of) their levels for him.
145	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Sometimes, when he's stressed, scared, or surprised, he'll let out a small, girlish shriek.
146	* SelfDeprecation: Dashie's not afraid to poke fun at himself and [[LampshadeHanging often points out his bad habits.]]
147	* ShamelessSelfPromotion: Since Dashie came out with merchandise, he's been finding ways to self-plug during his videos.
148	* ShortRangeShotgun: In one episode of ''GTA Online'', Dashie gloriously subverts this trope by [[https://youtu.be/by19QzU-p_c&t=6m16s killing his friend runJDrun with a shotgun even though he was some distance away]]. Immediately lampshaded by JD:
149	-->"The fuck kind of shotgun is ''that''?"
150	* SignatureLaugh: Ironically, the ultra-loud and ultra-energetic Dashie has a suppressed wheeze for a laugh.
151	* SirSwearsALot: '''''Like you have no idea.''''' He even lampshades it himself and tells his younger audiences to not repeat it to others...at least when no one's around to hear them.
152	* SitcomArchNemesis: Donkey BITCH-ASS rapidly ascended to this status for Dashie as a whole thanks to his [[SpannerInTheWorks repeated comically timed misdemeanors against Dashie]] throughout ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''. Even when he [[ComicallyLopsidedRivalry isn't doing much of anything (yet)]], expect Dashie to maintain a constant lookout for him when playing ''any'' game featuring the ape, even beyond ''VideoGame/MarioKart''.
153	* SmashCut: Every video starts with a preview that ends with one, and the clip will be shown in the video proper.
154	* StupidSexyFlanders: [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and (to a lesser extent) Franchise/SpiderMan.
155	* TakingYouWithMe: One of his ''GTA V'' videos concludes with him surrounded by cops while standing right next to a large, flammable tank. Do the math.
156	* TermsOfEndangerment: Dashie normally calls him a BITCH-ASS, but on numerous occasions he has referred to Donkey with friendlier terms, something that's especially visible in episodes like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uNahD3f6-0 his first attempt at the 50cc Leaf Cup]] in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''.
157	-->''obtaining a Piranha Plant from an Item Box'' "Okay use it right now, fuck it. At least you'll get a li'l boost..." ''seeing Donkey, beginning to [[BloodKnight rapidly chomp with the plant]]'' "AY AY, my ''[[SuddenlyShouting FRIEND]]''! MY ''FRIEND''!"
158	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: How his sentences frequently end.
159	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Whenever he knows he's about to die – he'll say something like, "Welp!" or, "It's a wrap!"
160	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Played With and a meta example. As mentioned above, before Mario Kart 8, Dashie would play Donkey Kong games like ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' and ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze.'' Nowadays, Dashie would wring Donkey's neck if it were possible.
161	* WorthyOpponent: [[invoked]] Whenever [[EnsembleDarkhorse Lakitu]] beats him in ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''.
162	* WouldHitAGirl: [[invoked]] Not in real life, but in video games? It's free game. He has gotten lots of flak for this in his ''GTA V'' videos (that and his tendency to shoot innocent animals), to which he has responded on multiple instances by saying that [[MST3KMantra it's just a video game]].
163	* XanatosGambit: In a playthrough of ''EA Sports UFC 2'' – he has two versions of his in-game self fight each other, and declares it technically a win-win for himself.
164	----
165	-> ''"[[TheStinger Holla at ya boy...]] '''[[BigYes YEAH!]]"'''''
