Yearly GFAQs character battle thread




Posted by Zeta

Because at some point you WILL want to complain about poll results, even if you know these things are complete **** or don't care.

that being said what the **** is Jade Curtiss doing in last place




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Wow, those are some gay choices. Jade is all right, but **** that. Wario is the only option.

Zack is beating wario. LOL




Posted by Ant

poor cecil :(




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Posted by maian

Big Boss is going up against Master Chief?

CURSES




Posted by Linko_16

The crappiest character of the four is in the lead? It's the GFAQ's Character Battles alright.




Posted by Iris

perhaps it has something to do with his huge sword!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

What's Altair doing in the list? lol




Posted by Linko_16

Oh, I forgot that there are two winners for each round.




Posted by Ant

wow, this round is really close. Kinda figured Niko would be a bit higher though.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Voted Niko. Marth sucks, duke is lame, and I figured Kefka would be winning anyways. Even though he's not. Weird.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Voted Niko since he's a pretty cool guy. I'm not voting for Final Fantasy characters throughout this because they get enough support anyway. Marth is **** and Duke is old and irrelevant.




Posted by Ant

****ing, geno is tied for 4th. what the ****. figured he'd be in first or at least second.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

should be geno, phoenix, bowser than deckard




Posted by Ant

10 bux says if geno was in brawl he'd be first lol.




Posted by Iris

Thus far I'm content with the results.




Posted by Ant

I love how brawl fags are voting for Falco over GlaDOS.




Posted by Linko_16

Man, **** Vincent.




Posted by Shade

Falco fags are ruining my bracket. >:O




Posted by Iris

Poor Wander.




Posted by Roger Smith

Well, I expected that the L Block would get majority of the votes.

****ing ****ed




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

gamefaqs: thinks jokes from a year ago are still funny




Posted by Roger Smith

Gamefaqs users: Thinks gamefaq's jokes from last year are still funny.




Posted by Ant

I was kinda surprised. but kinda not. shame.

ninda edit: this is gettin creepy.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

More surprised at the fact that Ryu is beating Metaknight.




Posted by Roger Smith

Christ, they should've added Rick from Splatterhouse.

Awwwwww yeah....splatterhouse. Mmmm.




Posted by Linko_16

Ryu, beating Metaknight? What a nice surprise.

EDIT - DOUBLE NINJA




Posted by Zeta

Why are people voting for that ****ing dog? Everyone's supposed to hate him.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

*** **** it L-block better not win

gfacks wat is wrong wit u




Posted by Shade

**** you guys, I have L-Block to make the final.




Posted by Iris

Falcon has obviously got the next bracket in the bag due to his uber manliness and epic falcon punch kills over 9000.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I'd personally vote Alucard, but Falcon will win.




Posted by Roger Smith

Not too sure about that, Alucard has a pretty significant lead.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Eh, they both moved on.

Also, lol at the wow guy beating out ike




Posted by Ant

Arthas is one of the main doods of Warcraft III and soon to be WoW. So yeah, no surprise really.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh right, Warcraft III. Suddenly I can understand a bit more.




Posted by Speedfreak

Anyone ever notice how a lot of video game characters are seriously shit?

Like Sonic the Hedgohog. Someone's gonna get what I'm talking about. Sonic is cringeworthy 100% of the time.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

pretty sure most of the kids on GFacks have never played frozen throne and are just voting for that faggot based off litch king hype ****

at least pikachu is winning




Posted by Shade

COMEBACK TIME, IKE!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

DK is the only respectable character. But Companion Cube is winning. Because that **** is so cash still.



Quoted post: Like Sonic the Hedgohog. Someone's gonna get what I'm talking about. Sonic is cringeworthy 100% of the time.


He was fine before he started talking and dating human girls.



Posted by Ant

i voted 4 tidus cause he is a hottee




Posted by Speedfreak

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;889277]DK is the only respectable character. But Companion Cube is winning. Because that **** is so cash still.




He was fine before he started talking and dating human girls.

I thought he was alright until he started foot-tapping and finger-wagging. I mean what the fuck was that shit? Did the coperate morons who created him think that's what kids found cool or what? Then they added in a billion of his friends and gave him a voice, that was the final straw.

As far as manufactured characters go I think Sparkster (sorry) was probably better designed and has aged a lot better. At least the latest version of him, anyway. He's got the most determined-looking running animation I've ever seen.




Posted by Shade

COMPANION CUBE AND L BLOCK FOR THE FINAL




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Gave him some 'tude and that was all the rage back then.

And Sparkster was pretty good, but Ristar was the ****. Best Sega character out there. Basically Sonic before they ****ed him up.



Posted by Ant

huh. I was actually surprised to see Mewtwo with such a big lead over the others.

voted for travis out of pity. though had I checked beforehand I would have gone with Ness, since I thought he'd be higher up.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

voted travis because he's genuinely the best character on the list




Posted by SkynetGamer101

At times it seems like Gamefaqs rigs the polls. Look at what happend last year, all that BS when L Block won. That just sucked. My bracket is wrecked already. I had Niko winning.




Posted by Linko_16

L Block won because everybody who wasn't bonkers for FFVII decided they didn't want those faggots winning again and they united under a banner of sheer awesomeness.




Posted by Shade

Pheenieeeeeee :(




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: At times it seems like Gamefaqs rigs the polls. Look at what happend last year, all that BS when L Block won. That just sucked. My bracket is wrecked already. I had Niko winning.


There was no hope for Niko winning. Most kids from GFAQs don't even like the game.



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

hell yeah, voted for alucard, turns out he's winning

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH




Posted by Alastor

Pikachu's winning by a little bit now.

Can't believe Captain Falcon is in last place...




Posted by G-Sides

pikachu all the way




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Alucard.




Posted by Shade

COMPANION CUBE L-BLOCK FINAL IS INEVITABLE




Posted by Slade

I voted megaman because I didn't know who to vote for.




Posted by Shade

Always vote for the inanimate object.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

three faggots and mega man

no contest




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Voted Nero cause I liked him as a character.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

he had a cool gun + arm, but any games character who cries because his princess is in another castle doesnt get my respect




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

thought that was an effective scene though, so it worked




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

only good cutscenes in that game had dante in them

except the one where nero's in the courtyard and he surfs on a puppet and he's all like YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW




Posted by Shade

I should play that game at some point




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

DMC4 owns, as long as you dont take that **** seriously

i remember reading a review where someone said 'DMC has officially jumped the shark' and i done probably the biggest spit-take of my life




Posted by Breakman

i hate these yearly character battles, so many days in which a somewhat interesting or surprising-results poll could have been but instead you have four random characters all of whom are completely futile to even vote for as we all know it'll be link or cloud or some hilarious gimmick character no one actually cares about winning in the end

though i really do enjoy the neat artwork people make for the 'battles', especially when it gets close to the end

anyway, vote megaman, etc




Posted by Linko_16

Oh man, poor Luigi. :(




Posted by Ant

I voted for luigi :(




Posted by Alastor

NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO WEEGEE.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: DMC4 owns, as long as you dont take that **** seriously


Read a lot of people raging at the scene with dante and the rose and ****. Why do people take DMC seriously?



Posted by Linko_16

Man, how can Mewtwo be losing? Well, I know how, but still, fuuuuuuuuck.




Posted by Alastor

So much for L-Block or Companion Cube running away with it. NOW IT'S JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER YEAR!




Posted by Breakman

l-block would have been like every other year
wcc actually sort of makes sense and i was secretly holding out for it once megaman and crono go down though but...

edit: wait i mean i hate these things yeah *CHECKS RESULTS PAGE EVERY 30 MINUTES AND SWEATS*




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Samus is losing? ****ing gay.




Posted by Zeta

I checked the poll and was like "FUUUUUUUUUCK, SAMUS ;_;"

then checked tomorrow's and was like "FUUUUUUUUUCK, KIRBY ;_;"




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

semper link




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Not as cool as samus




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

felt like being a maverick and not voting for her




Posted by Iris

Ew. I like Crono, but he's not a classic. I guess this was the doing of RPG fags.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Crono's a classic.




Posted by G-Sides

do NOT want link or final fantasy *******s to win




Posted by Stalolin

link is a faggot and shouldn't be winning




Posted by maian

I voted Mario over Link, and found that Mario was losing. How...depressing. :(




Posted by Ant

also voted for mario. figured it would be closer between him and crono. how wrong I was.




Posted by Linko_16

Samus lost? Boooooooo.

But, wow, Cloud and Sephiroth in the same bracket and they're both losing? I have faith in the world again.

EDIT - although by the looks of the number of votes it must've just opened for the day. We'll see how it folds out.




Posted by Alastor

Cloud will start winning once all the little kiddies wake up and vote before they go to school.




Posted by maian

BAHA, Snake is winning over Cloud and Sephiroth. Success!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Was going to vote Snake and then found out it was Old Snake so I was all "**** that guy" and then accidentally voted Spehiroth and raged.




Posted by Zeta

As the gap between Cloud and Kirby lessens, I find myself becoming more and more depressed.




Posted by maian

Eh, it's Solid Snake. Sure, he becomes Old Snake (I like him), but you could just think of him as the rad MGS2 Snake.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Or I could just not be a faggot and realise he's Old Snake and not as cool.




Posted by maian

They should just write "Snake" and use Big Boss' image. :(




Posted by Alastor

>Kirby behind Cloud by nearly 2,000

FFFFFFFFUUUUwait i'm not surprised at all.




Posted by Stalolin

voted sephiroth because he's my bishie =^_^=




Posted by Ant

I figured Sephiroth would be a lot higher, or at least even with Cloud. But it's not THAT surprising. Nintenfags vote for Kirby, and everyone else who didn't like FF7 voted for Snake.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Wait, Crono beat out Samus and Mario? ****ing kids, probably never even played Chrono Trigger.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

VOTE KIRBY




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

voted snake after they changed him back to the non gay one.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

naked > solid > liquid > old > solidus




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Sounds about right actually.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

old snake is the most irritating because *** **** everything he does is interrupted by stupid coughing

solidus is the most irrelevant though so he goes to bottom




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

plus, Liquid far out did him in that villain category.

And old snake sucks because he's just old. I didn't have a problem with anything else about him, just him being old.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

looks stupid too

that mustache makes me rage




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

yeah, looking stupid and being old goes hand-in-hand. Went from the most badass looking character to a stupid faggot




Posted by Linko_16

I have to admit, this is a pretty clever little banner.



The "24-hour KO fest" and everything.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

trying too hard




Posted by Aioros

[COLOR="Yellow"]Wow, as of right now Snake is leading Cloud by only 3 votes. Quite impressive i must say.[/COLOR]




Posted by Zeta

wut

I'm seeing a difference of about 400 in Snake's favor.




Posted by Ant

things update fast on the gamefaqs!

and I like that banner!




Posted by Aioros


Quoting Zeta: wut

I'm seeing a difference of about 400 in Snake's favor.


[COLOR="Yellow"]Haha, too late. You missed out on a WTF moment.[/COLOR]



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Guess Link is better than Crono or Cloud.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

voted for snake




Posted by Unite

ouch link wins this years contest




Posted by maian

Boo. Link has no soul. Why are so many people in love with a character WHO HAS NO CHARACTER?

I understand the timelessness of Link, but there's nothing there. >_> And if you try to argue that he does have a character, it's made up of the most basic, surface level traits that pretty much every other character can easily express.




Posted by Roger Smith

Because he makes tights look cool.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: I understand the timelessness of Link, but there's nothing there. >_> And if you try to argue that he does have a character, it's made up of the most basic, surface level traits that pretty much every other character can easily express.


his character is... YOU!

which is why everyone loves him because we all love ourselves.



Posted by Linko_16

I opened GameFAQ's to check who it was and was greeted with WALL OF LINK OH *** WUT.

I voted for Young Link out of pity but I heartily approve of Classic and CD-i Link talking the lead.




Posted by Ant

yeah, went with cdi link cause he's sooooooOOOOOoooo funni~




Posted by maian

Toon Link :(




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

How is Classic Link old Link? Wouldn't classic link be young link?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

voted toon anyways




Posted by maian

If you think of it that way, then you're forgetting that the names are completely resultant from Smash Bros naming, as there's no way in HELL anyone would EVER be calling Toon Link "Toon Link" if it weren't for Brawl.




Posted by Alastor


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: How is Classic Link old Link?


Because most of the GameFAQs userbase was born about the time OoT was released, I guess.



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

voted toon

sucks that old link is taking up 50% of the votes




Posted by Alastor

It's because OoT is the BEST ****ING GAME EVER YEEEEAH




Posted by Klarth

bah, I voted for snake. would have been such a pleasure to see a naked/solid/old/acid poll.

instead, given that this is a silly poll, I voted for I'M SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT AN OCTOROK




Posted by Stalolin

voted cd-i because i can't wait to bomb dodongos




Posted by Prince Shondronai

You shouldn't say stuff like that, Stalolin. You're just going to get captured by Ganon off-panel and a stick-thin, flat-as-a-washboard version of Zelda is going to have to rescue you.




Posted by Roger Smith

LttP Link is my favorite. Which category would that fall under, classic?

Though, I the think the whole idea of voting for different versions of Link is retarded to begin with.




Posted by Shade

That'd be classic, yeah.

Voted toon link.




Posted by Alastor


Quoting Shade: That'd be classic, yeah.


No it wouldn't. The real classic Link isn't even an option.



Posted by Zeta

Every other Link not listed would fall under "Young", I guess.

Except Zelda 2 and TP.




Posted by Linko_16

Oh, that was the last one? It's over already. Watev.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: If you think of it that way, then you're forgetting that the names are completely resultant from Smash Bros naming, as there's no way in HELL anyone would EVER be calling Toon Link "Toon Link" if it weren't for Brawl.


People were calling him toon link before brawl.



Posted by Linko_16

Only thing I ever heard before Brawl was "WW Link." People called Wind Waker "Toony," but I don't think hardly anyone actually referred to him as "Toon Link."

But yeah, Smash Brothers's vast popularity has a huge sway over the rest of Nintendo gaming. Fire Emblem probably would not have come to the States nearly as soon, if at all, if not for Melee, and I wouldn't be surprised if, thanks to Brawl, we eventually see an official US release of Mother 3, a new Kid Icarus (Ice Climbers weren't so lucky, but Pit's more charismatic), a more sexualized Samus in the next Metroid, etc.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

samus has always been sexual, eh

[IMG]http://www.s0rethumbs.com/uploader/files/ending_fusion_e4.jpg[/IMG]

girl you're my angel
you're my darling, angel




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

not sure i can pop a boner to that massive hand though




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

yeah, the reward for beating basically any metroid was seeing samus in a skimpy outfit. Nothing new.




Posted by Iris

It was particularly arousing in 8-bit.




Posted by Ant

Anything is possible with the power of "IMAGINATIONNNNNN"




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting The X: samus has always been sexual, eh


Not that tame, glamorous, pin-up sexualization. I'm betting we'll actually be playing through big chunks of the game with a curvy, fat-breasted Samus in her raw, skin-tight Zero Suit from now on. I'd be delighted to see myself proven wrong.



Posted by Ant

I hope you're right. :(

as the game progresses you lose more of your equipment. WHAT A TWIST!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah... that's really going to happen. I mean, ****, the zero suit was way less slutty than the bikini, so I don't know what you're talking about.



Posted by Shade

I want this Samus.





Posted by Breakman

i'm still mad we didn't get purple haired lttp link as an option for the last poll

i remember snake being in the lead on the day of the last poll and was all like 'oh **** it's gonna be a different character that's not just a gimmick for once' and 'man smash sure made snake a lot more popular than he already was there's no way he can lose'

**** link

i love the zelda games but **** him making all these polls pointless and boring knowing no one else could possibly win




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: Yeah... that's really going to happen. I mean, ****, the zero suit was way less slutty than the bikini, so I don't know what you're talking about.


Right. This, as an image of Samus in what is basically a conservative 2-piece swimsuit that you are denied throughout the whole game unless you perform masterfully:



Is waaaaay more sexualized than this, what Samus's naked frame only just covered by a suit that may as well be a layer of paint over her body, something you're invited to play as all the time as a representation of Samus:











Yeah, I'm sure Samus isn't nearly as popularly sexualized now as she used to be back in the days where it took everyone ages to figure out she even was a woman.


Quoting Breakman: making all these polls pointless and boring knowing no one else could possibly win


Welcome to the GameFAQ's yearly character battles.




Posted by Alastor

I cringed when "NOW LET'S HAVE A BEST GAME EVER CONTEST" beat out all of those other options a couple days ago. The only reason half of the characters get as far as they do is because of the game(s) they're in, anyway.

Besides, it's not like it'd come down to anything other than Ocarina of Time VS Final Fantasy VII.




Posted by maian

It DOES always come down to that, but frankly, I'm surprised that Snake was the runner-up this time. Does he usually even ever make it to the finals?




Posted by Ant

I think he won one year?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: Is waaaaay more sexualized than this, what Samus's naked frame only just covered by a suit that may as well be a layer of paint over her body, something you're invited to play as all the time as a representation of Samus:


Both are skintight suits. I have no idea what you're talking about. The former just shows off a ton more skin.

And I'm not exactly sure what you expect her to wear under a suit such as that. Baggy clothes? Because even astronauts wear fairly tight-fitting long johns... and something about those don't scream futuristic.



Posted by Iris

The point Linko is trying to make is that her lady regions are more defined and in focus. Brawl's Samus has a big *** and breasts so over exaggerated that they couldn't possible serve any purpose other than intense tit****ing. The Zero Mission suit is a tight top and short shorts. Brawl is a skin suit that conforms to every detail of her body. Seriously, it's nipples away from just being a color swap of her nude body.

Zero Suit is less slutty than the bikini in Metroid Prime, yes, but certainly not in Brawl.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Which is more or less the exact same as the bikini suit, sans for minor wrinkle on the shorts.

I mean, clearly the whole point of both is to emphasis tits and ***, but neither is better than the other in that case. the zero suit just makes more sense.




Posted by Iris

Obviously both are meant to look skimpy and seductive, but it's like comparing boy's cut-off jeans to Daisy Dukes. Sure, they may show the same amount of skin, but one definitely leaves less to the imagination.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

No... just no.
