Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on June 08, 2003, 11:09:05 AM
It's that time of the year again.

I'm betting most of you do not like it, but it's just so much fun.  You thought the console wars debates were rough when dealing with Sony and Microsoft fanboys?  This is even rougher.  Characters are insulted as well as the company they are tied to.  Not only that, with a prize reward of $300 on the line, you'll see "internet advertising" going around when July starts.  Also. Anyone here ever participated in an NCAA bracket?  You could fill out a similar bracket and whoever gets the most points when the battle is finished gets the prize of 300 online dollars.  

What do I mean by "internet advertising" though?  Well, it is when people go around other sites advertising this contest and trying to force people to vote for a specific character.  Planet Gamecube was involved in it when Mario was losing against Cloud.  You might say this is what sucks about it, but that is what makes it great in a sense as well.  So many people get into it, especially when there is a reward involved, in this case, there is.

This year's looks to be more violent than last year's.  I heard accounts of forums and chatrooms being invaded already with people trying to advertise the characters they want to win.  It will be hell this summer when the contest launches off.

But in the end, it's all about how much fun it was to participate in a video-game contest of this magnitude.  As for me, it's a ton of fun, especially if I place in the top ten of the contest.  

Also, fifteen Nintendo characters are involved this year.  Sweet.  Nintendo characters nearly make 25% of the characters in this year's battle.

Ok, my bracket is filled out.  Thanks for the link though.  I might have missed out on this one if you hadn't posted this.

I of course had Link vs Mario in the final match.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on June 08, 2003, 02:43:00 PM
I had Link vs. Sephiroth.  I see Mario falling victim to Seph's blade.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on June 08, 2003, 05:46:31 PM
Oh oh oh i love this! I remember last years one. Link owned! Link will win this year as well, hands down. I hope Donkey Kong does better this year, and Samus should do better this year as well, considering Metroid Prime and Fusion werent released last year. Let the great character battle begin!

Post by: Grey Ninja on June 08, 2003, 07:36:47 PM
Heh.  I just couldn't see Sephiroth beating him.  It might happen, but come on... Mario is the father of all gaming life.    I just couldn't have him knocked off by Sephiroth.  (Besides, I have always suspected that Sephiroth was a closet homosexual.)
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on June 09, 2003, 12:56:01 PM
Perhaps Mario can pull one over the eyes of Sephiroth.

Mario and Cloud were at it close last year, and Mario won with the help of good old PGC.  Sephiroth is even more popular than Cloud, so we'll have to see how this one turns out.

And his big sword was to make up for something he lacked?

Say hello to my big di... er... sword!

i don't know how i managed to do this, but in the final fight i had Mario vs. Sonic. The fight before that pitted Sonic versus Samus, and Mario versus Megaman.

Seph is straight. If anything he's a "victim" of being a bishounen anime character. Besides, Cloud wore a dress...

Most FF characters are pretty much...hmm...let's see...something light...feminine.  Yeah, feminine.  Every one except Auron.  And Kain, (I think that's the name of the FFIV badass).

Kain is definitely the badass and Cecil as a Dark Knight too.  But I still liked him when he became a Paladin.

Are you sure this is only the second one they've done? I could've sworn it was the the 4th, or at least the 3rd- ah well, we all know Link'll win anyway.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

It's definitely the second one.

well i love this thing that gamefaqs does
personally i love link but i think solid snake was screwed over last year and its time for some stealthy kills.....
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on June 13, 2003, 04:04:46 PM
Snake got whupped by Crono last year.  This year, looks like he'll get whupped by Vercetti in my bracket.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on June 13, 2003, 04:28:41 PM
Heh.  In my bracket, Snake got beaten down by Mario.    Zelda took down Vercetti.

i dont stand a chance of winning, sephiroth lost in the first round to raziel go me!

Crono took out top honours in mine, cause hes so cool ^_^
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

I think it's pretty obvious now that Link's coming out on top.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

IT BEGINS!

Link vs Aiai!

Link is thrashing Aiai by over 90%!

Poor AiAi- he might have done reasonably well if they hadn't put him up against Link the first round.

damnit... does anyone else not remember who they voted for?  I can't seem to remember whether I picked Fox or Pikachu for the second round...
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 01, 2003, 03:40:23 PM
I know, Grey- after I was finished setting up my bracket it mysteriously disappeared and I really wanted to see it again, at least to know how I was doing during the tournament.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 01, 2003, 03:49:04 PM
Heh.  Actually I noticed after voting that they have a link to your own bracket, so it's all good.    It turned out I voted for Fox.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 01, 2003, 03:56:10 PM
Where? Either I didn't officially enter, in which case I'm screwed, or I just missed that link.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 01, 2003, 04:02:02 PM
It's right below the chart that shows Link giving Aiai the whooping of his life.    It says view the full bracket here, and view your own entry here
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 01, 2003, 04:05:29 PM
Oh, thanks Ninja. I was worried I missed out there. I have Link going up against Pikachu in the next brackets
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 01, 2003, 04:52:27 PM
There is no way Fox will beat Pikachu

EDIT: Crap, Fox is beating Pikachu. *voted for Fox*
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 03, 2003, 01:03:02 AM
fox wins!

its neck and neck between tidus and gannondorf at the moment, with gannondorf a nose ahead


also check this out www.geocities.com/clan_fanforced/brackets.html my bracket picks  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on July 03, 2003, 09:19:26 AM
Back after a long absence from these forums...

PIAC, I like the 1337 part of your signature...CATS is god...

Anyway, Link seriously killed AiAi.  That little monkey didn't have a chance once the first poll results were up.  It was saddening, yet nice to see Link getting strong support.

I was also glad to see Fox beat the overrated Pikachu.  As much as Pokemon is popular, Pikachu is not.  Still, I cannot believe Fox whupped Pikachu up 70-30.  That's some skill on Fox's part...

And now...Tidus vs. Ganondorf.  I cannot for the life of me believe Tidus is putting up a fight.  Tidus is one of the weakest FF characters, yet he's showing a strong fight against a villian from one of Nintendo's best series.  C'mon, people, vote for Ganondorf!  And if you don't like him just simply because he has no "character development", play Wind Waker, then see whether he has character development.  

Ah man...I'm doing good so far...I spent so many hours analyzing my bracket, trying to come up with the best picks before the contest started.  So far, I believe I may have a perfect bracket.  The only match I am unsure of is Ganondorf vs. Magus...if Ganondrof can even make it past Tidus, who is better known as the male version of Meg Ryan.

So far, I have two points.  If Ganondorf beats Tidus, three points.  YAY!

magus vs ganondorf is a tough one, they are pretty damn equal, both skilled in the arts of dark magic, also both handy with a blade/scythe and both pretty popular in their own way.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 03, 2003, 10:12:12 AM
Whoa...  I didn't think it would be this close to tell the truth.  I thought that homosexual Tidus guy would whoop Ganondorf.

Nevertheless, I have Ganondorf on my bracket, and I voted for him.    The next fight will be interesting too I think.  I personally picked Sam Fisher for my bracket, but I will be voting for Magus, just because he deserves to win.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 03, 2003, 11:40:59 PM
well i dont know the results, but ganondorf was winning last time i checked about 3 hours ago, so lets hope he wins!

currently magus is owning  sam fisher about 65% to 35%, go magus!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on July 04, 2003, 05:51:53 AM
Ganondorf won, but the GameFAQs administrator behind the polling of this tournament is checking over the votes to make sure no cheating influenced anything.  Tomorrow or later today, we should see who won.  
And yes, Magis is winning against Sam Fisher.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Big_Pimp on July 04, 2003, 10:16:28 PM
So now it's Jill vs Squall, I voted for Jill.  Everyone go out and vote for her.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 04, 2003, 11:54:49 PM
Oh noe! Jill is losing! Everyone vote for her please

GO JILL BABY!

why does the final fantasy guy have a gun? i dont get it...

but yeah, resident evil is scary, but jill is cool in marvel vs capcom, GO JILL!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 05, 2003, 10:52:22 AM
I voted for Squall.  Jill is just not as good of a character.  Squall was about the only thing I liked about Final Fantasy VIII.  PIAC, go out and play some more games.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 05, 2003, 11:22:18 AM
Man, not only did I screw up the whple Fox-Pikachu thing, I screwed up the Sam Fisher-Magus thing (and will screw up next level since I had Sam winning again ).
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 05, 2003, 11:41:28 AM
Yeah, I screwed up Sam vs Magus too.  I actually regretted doing that when the actual game started, but it was too late to change it.  Luckily I have Ganondorf taking the next match, so I at least have a shot at winning the next bracket... but not that big a chance I don't think.  
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 05, 2003, 09:23:10 PM
well ive picked most winners so far, i picked jill over squall butohwell,

luigi is currently OWNING rachet, another nintendo victory!
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 06, 2003, 11:31:19 PM
well, luigi won in convinceing style, next its KOS-MOS vs Crash, and well i have no real aligeance to either character, so ill use who i dislike KOS-MOS gets my vote, and shes doing quite well againsed Crash, 65% vs 35% at the moment, i picked her in my bracket too!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 07, 2003, 12:01:39 AM
Hehe go Luigi! And i hope crash bandicoot burns in hell -___-

go kos-mos, whoever that is

Post by: Grey Ninja on July 07, 2003, 07:00:09 AM
Heh.  There's either a lot of Xeno fans out there, or there are simply a lot of people who vote for the chick in the revealing outfit.  One or the other.  

I don't think I even need to mention who I voted for.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on July 07, 2003, 04:17:10 PM
I voted for KOS-MOS.  Heck, I even have a wallpaper of her I got from the official site.

BTW, I have to say the first poll was rigged!  How dare someone put me against Link in the opening bracket?  How DARE!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 08, 2003, 10:40:23 PM
Heh.  I wasn't online yesterday, and I couldn't remember who was matched up against who in the next match.  It turned out that I had nothing to worry about.    There was no way Samus would lose.

And today's match is another no brainer.    Stale joke character, or Cloud Strife... hmmm...
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 09, 2003, 02:38:29 AM
Eegads, Cloud Strike is owning erm... CATS? Wtf is that? This doesnt bode well for Yoshi in this section. Go Yoshi! Oh, and Sonic, and tails.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 09, 2003, 04:18:41 AM
EVERYONE MUST VOTE CATS! ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO DESTRUCTION MAKE YOUR TIME!

cast cant lose! cats never loses! atleast tell me your plans for world domination

oohhhh im not falling for THAT one again!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: HolyPaladin on July 09, 2003, 05:01:05 AM
"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME?"  Who the heck is this sack of crap?

Looks like my vote is for Cloud Stife, as much as I hate the butt-plugger and all FF entries on the BSX or BS2.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on July 09, 2003, 06:32:27 AM
CATS!!!!  All you people gotta vote for CATS.
He is the origin of such great phrases as:

All your base are belong to us
It's time to set you up the bomb
What you say!
Main screen turn on
You are on the way to destruction
You have no chance to survive, make your time

Not to mention I think he helped start the 1337 craze.

And now...look all the way at the bottom of the page, where it says Copyright 2003 Planet Gamecube.  What does it say right near there?
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 09, 2003, 02:54:58 PM
SOMEBODY WILL SET YOU UP THE BOMB IF YOU DONT VOTE FOR CATS


ohh you gotta love him, getting a bit owned though :\ and by a bit i mean quite alot safe to say cloud has won 87% to 13% doesn't bode well for cats. ohwell :\
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 09, 2003, 03:04:03 PM
I didn't vote for CATS because he means nothing to me in my history of playing games.  I have voted for every winner except for Fox because I didn't really like him and now I don't even remember who he was up again.  KOS-MOS was a very interesting character in Xenosaga.  I used her thoughout the game when she was selectable that's why she got my vote, if it was up to scant clad women Shion and MoMo would be part because when you put the swimsuit on either of them they are more scantily clad than KOS-MOS is. .  Samus gets my vote even though I like who she is up against, but she just rocks all together rightly.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 10, 2003, 12:43:49 AM
well... cats lost aparently all your base arn't belong to him, which is a shame

tails is being kinda whipped by auron, damn final fantasy fans :\ tails has the whole sonic legend attached to him, and what did auron do for anyone? NOTHING! stared in 1 game, but tails is a hero! poor fella doens't have parents (or something )

go vote for tails
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 10, 2003, 12:46:24 AM
VOTE FOR TAILS!

If tails loses, this poll is rigged
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 10, 2003, 01:29:03 AM
Well, I'm not really a fan of Auron or Tails.  I just voted for the underdog, which happened to be Tails.  At any rate, even though I am voting against myself, I am sure I will win anyways.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on July 10, 2003, 03:50:41 AM
Vote for TAILS everyone.  I demand that you do!
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 10, 2003, 04:09:27 AM
Why should I vote for Tails?  I don't even like the little furry that much.  Oh well I might as well even though I actually liked Auron In Final Fantasy X.

I will be voting for Ness though.  Can't change my mind on that.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Ninja X on July 10, 2003, 02:06:10 PM
Tails died a nice death pertty much.

Can't wait to see if Ness puts up a match for Bowser.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 10, 2003, 10:21:46 PM
well. hes not poor ness, i voted bowser
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 11, 2003, 03:10:59 AM
Wow, i thought Ness would totally own Bowser. Heh. I voted for Bowser Never played a Earthbound game, although ive played planty of Mario games!
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 11, 2003, 03:15:17 AM
Ness rules.  Bowser is just a big ol' bully.  Nothing better than a guy who uses a bat to beat up baddies.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 11, 2003, 06:27:52 AM
I voted for Bowser.    No question in my mind.  Ness was a star in a really cool game, but as a character, I didn't really like him.  Bowser has a good deal more personality.

I think that the next "big" battle will be between Master Chief and Felix to tell the truth. My money's on Felix, but I am not sure how that will turn out to be perfectly honest.

you actually think felix is going to put up a fight against master chief, xbox's stand-out character agogo?

you're dreaming.  i'm not a huge fan of the xbox (counting down the days 'til halo comes out for pc), but master chief is going to demolish felix.  sorry.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 11, 2003, 08:19:03 AM
Well, I am really not sure about that.  Judging from the regular GameFAQs poll though, I doubt the regular readers would have any more love for Master Chief than myself.  Golden Sun is a game I haven't played, but it's not well loved by RPG players, but it's my hope that general anti-MS sentiment will win the day.

I really do think that Felix stands a chance though.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 11, 2003, 08:24:51 AM
What do you mean Golden Sun isn't well loved by RPG players? It's considered the best RPG on the GBA and one of the best period. I still think Mast Cheif will win, though- the average gamer knows Halo, but probably doesn't know Golden Sun or anyone in it. And considering that Ness is losing and Earthbound is considered by many to be THE best RPG ever, I don't think Felix will win.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 11, 2003, 08:28:18 AM
GameFAQs isn't about the average gamer though.  Judging from some of the polls I have seen, it caters to more to the hardcore gamer than the casual gamer.  Would a casual gamer be caught dead playing Pokemon for example?

Golden Sun was criticized for having a weak story, and flashy graphics.  Having not played the game, I will refrain comment further than that.  I take that with a grain of salt though, as I know just as many people who love the game as people who hate it.  But then again, I also know lots of people who loved that pile of garbage known as Final Fantasy IX.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Mario on July 11, 2003, 04:56:08 PM
I predict Felix will lose to Master Chief by about 80%
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 11, 2003, 06:26:17 PM
he better fking not! as per the penny-arcade crew i also shall build a robot to make sure felix wins!

Yay!

Yoshi is beating Conker. I like Conker a lot, but still, he's no Yoshi

Go Yoshi! I voted for Yoshi btw
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: PIAC on July 12, 2003, 12:50:30 AM
hurruh! go team yoshi
im a yoshi fanboy so i want him (or her..) to go far!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 12, 2003, 05:55:00 AM
Ikes!  That I did not predict.  I voted for Conker, and I picked Conker in my bracket... maybe I misjudged his popularity?  Seriously... how could Conker lose to Yoshi?  I am liking this anti-MS sentiment, but not when Conker is such a cool character!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: DRJ on July 12, 2003, 06:34:43 AM
Conker is cool, but not as cool as yoshi.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 12, 2003, 07:04:15 AM
I guess this goes to show that Conker is not as popular as Rare would like us to believe.  I voted for Yoshi because he just oozes with coolness.  Conker has no relevance, and I predict his Xbox game will not sell well.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 13, 2003, 08:27:45 PM
Only 4000 votes so far for the current battle, but I BEG you people to vote for Felix.  Don't let the Master Chef beat him!
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: vudu on July 14, 2003, 10:06:38 AM
i'm actually really surprised felix is doing so well.  this is turning out to be more of an 'xbox vs. not' match than 'master chief vs felix'.  oh well.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: vudu on July 14, 2003, 10:07:43 AM
another thought:  regardless of who wins, they'll (most likely) be demolished by aeris in the next round.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 14, 2003, 10:10:18 AM
Well, at least I was right when I said that this one would be close.  
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 14, 2003, 12:56:08 PM
I had Master Chief down as winning in my bracket, and it appears to be the first right choice I've made in like 3 rounds. I still voted for Felix though, and it's cool that he's actually holding his own against the title character of the XBox.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Fish on July 15, 2003, 12:00:44 AM
Which one won, MC or Felix?  
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 15, 2003, 12:24:41 AM
Probably Master Chef, but since he hasn't been listed as the winner yet, I am assuming that they are going to be doing a recount.

kinda sad to see Felix go down to Master Chef, im getting golden sun 2 tomorrow and all poor fella, ohwell

actually, zero is winning.  i wouldn't have guessed that.

5 years ago scropion would have demolished just about any takers.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 15, 2003, 05:58:59 AM
I voted for Scorpion in the current battle, because I don't really care about either character, and Scorpion was the underdog.  

EDIT:  Crap!  I picked Scorpion for my bracket.  I have so lost this tournament.

sorry folks, master chief has officially won his round 1 match.
i don't think he stands a chance against aeris though.  she's got mad skillz.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 15, 2003, 09:38:52 AM
Aeris has this mad following that Master Chief will never have, and he will die a horrible death when he goes up against her.  Even though she is dead she is a very popular zombie.  
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 15, 2003, 09:52:32 AM
Personally I was never really all that attracted to Aeris.  Terra, Rosa, and Selphie were the ones that really did it for me.    Still, there is just no question that she is better than Master Chef.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 15, 2003, 09:58:43 AM
I agree with you on Aeris, Grey.  I preferred Rosa and Celes most above all others, then Lulu, Quistis (sp?), and Dagger coming up last to round out the top 5.

Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

Olimar was doomed from the moment the contest started.  Much the same as AiAi, Tom Nook, Raiden, Knuckles, and Lara Croft.

i still voted crono, cause chronotrigger = best RPG evah!

Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 20, 2003, 05:58:38 AM
It is weird how the matches were set up, but I guess in all fairness this is the best way to do it.  If Tom Nook can't stand up against Crono, then will he be able to stand up against anyone else?

I voted for Crono because I never played Animal Crossing.
Title: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: vudu on July 21, 2003, 12:32:46 PM
here's a question for you all:  just how big is gamefaqs.com?  meaning, does it seem odd that in every single poll of the character battle the site has roughly 100,000 votes?  the weekly polls on gamespy.com (which, despite what you think of the site, is probably a more popular site) generate between 25,000 and 50,000 votes.  today's poll over at gamespot.com has under 6,000 votes.  pgc's current poll has bee going on for god-knows how long and it only has 108 votes.

should we question the legitimacy of the polls at gamefaqs.com?  i know the character battle has generated some pretty big interest on various forums around the net, and i'm sure that is leading to higher-than-average turnout, but it still seems a bit excessive.

i have a couple friends who i would consider hardcore gamers who have never heard of gamefaqs.com.  is the site really that popular (read:  is the character battle really that popular) that it gets that many votes per day?

anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Gamefreak on July 21, 2003, 01:18:23 PM
Yes, it really is that popular. Last year they were like this too, the staff double checks every single poll, and if you are a hardcore gamer I don't know how you could have not heard of Gamefaqs...
Anyway, look at the activity on their forums if you don't believe me. They have something like 200,000 users...

PS, there are 19 Nintendo characters, not 15....
Link
Pikachu
Fox
Ganondorf
Luigi
Samus
Isaac
Bowser
Ness
Yoshi
Felix
Mario
Olimar
Wario
Tom Nook
Kirby
DK
Zelda
Mr. Resetti

See that leaderboard? I'm one of only 55 people who currently have a PERFECT bracket so far. I should have a perfect bracket through the entire first round, with the possible exception of Vyse vs Donkey Kong. I've got Vyse winning that one, I'm shouldn't have done it but I'm banking on the crazy Sega fans to back me up.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

Heh.  You are a very smart (lucky) man StrikerObi.    I have been bombing the rounds REALLY bad so far.  A few of the matches took me by complete surprise.

But I think you will lose when it comes time for Vyse vs Donkey Kong.  I will be voting for Vyse, and I think he should win, but I am quite sure DK will beat him.

what's your definition of a hardcore gamer?

let's go down the list with possible traits:
owns more than twenty games:  check
plays more than 20 hours a week:  check
follows gaming news and participates in forum chat:  check
loves xbox with a blinding passion:  check

trust me, he's a hardcore gamer.  a little misguided, but a hardcore gamer nonetheless.

if you want the real reason he likes xbox so much, it's because he can't afford to keep up his computer to play all the latest games.  and (as much as you may dislike xbox) many great games available for pc are on xbox, too.  (hell, most of the good games on xbox are pc ports, but that's another discussion for another thread.)

If Gabe wasn't movie and could post something on Penny-Arcade, Pac-Man would've destroyed Kefka and probably Crono, too. You guys would surprised how many rabid PA fans are out there waiting to do Gabe or Tycho's bidding. You remember that Blockbuster ad they got changed, or the whole American Greetings fiasco?

The thing is that the Xbox has very few games to call its own.  I suppose if he's a broke PC gamer, it might make a little bit of sense, but the fact is that the Xbox isn't really much of a console for a hardcore gamer if it's all you own.  I can see it being a second, or more likely, third, console, but not a first and only.  It just has too few games.

Well thank you.  

Yes, it's the same one as before.  If you ever play Silent Hill 3, I suppose it will take a while for you to dissociate Heather with me... I had that problem in Xenogears.  Someone I knew on a forum was using Fei's picture as his avatar, and it took me ages to seperate the two.  For that I am sorry, but I really like Heather.

Then you were treating it just like a game for yourself then, and not taking it too serious.  The sad thing I guess is there are people out there that this competition is like life or death for them.  I forgot to vote yesterday, but so what? Right?  I voted for Dante today because I never played the Shenmue (sp?) games before.  And I will be playing Silent Hill 3 week after next because I ordered PS2 version today, along with MMX7 and Mario and Luigi.  I know have 17 games on pre-order.

Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: vudu on July 30, 2003, 07:12:57 AM
you're damn right it was rigged.  (to a point, anyway.)  vyse is a new character.  therefore, you have to team him up against a high ranked character.  it's the way tournements go, sorry.  it's the same reason aiai was against link and captain olimar was against mario.  you'd be screaming even more if maio lost in the first round to link.
Title: RE:The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on July 30, 2003, 08:35:42 PM
Yeah, Vyse would've done better against a lesser known character- same for Isaac and Felix (although Felix held his own even against Master Chief).

Anyway, right now Zelda is kicking Lara Croft's ass. Let's hope it stays this way.

Round 2 looks excellent.  Ganondorf vs. Magus, Cloud vs. Auron, Bowser vs. Yoshi, Zero vs. Sonic, Kefka vs. Crono, Kirby vs. Alucard, Ryu vs. Dante (Go Ryu!) and Zelda vs. Mega Man.

Actually, Link goes against Magus next round.  Lets have a moment of silence for our favorite CT villian right now.  He made his time admirably.

Squall is going against Samus.  Not much better than going against Link.

That won't happen.  Squall is leading Luigi by way too much.

well luigi went down, the power of final fantasy is too strong it would seem, but samus is dominating KOS-MOS, about 70/30, which is good, as samus should take down squal next round, and so she should, luigi should have gone far, HE COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTENDER!

Crono was a mighty cool character I might add.  I would not blame anyone who voted for Chrono.  He was the star of a game which is widely recognized as one of the best games ever, if not THE best.  Thus, I find it a little disturbing that people around here think it's such a no-brainer to vote for Mario.

I gave Mario my vote because he's the one who started it all.  Without Mario, video games as we know them today would not exist.
Title: RE:The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 24, 2003, 07:50:19 AM
Chrono Trigger, best game ever? Surely it can be considered the best RPG ever (although you'd have to consider games like Eartbound and Grandia 2, as well), but I can name quite a few games I liked more than Chrono Trigger.
Title: RE: The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: Grey Ninja on August 24, 2003, 07:59:00 AM
I actually consider Chrono Trigger #3, right after Zelda: Wind Waker, and Xenogears.  

Many people do consider it to be the best game ever, but I suppose that most of the people I know are RPG fans like myself.
Title: RE:The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 24, 2003, 08:08:40 AM

I am right shocked that Mario won.  I doubt he can take Sephiroth, but we shall see.  I hope the pansy goes down though.  Sephiroth is just a little too femmy for my tastes.  I could really care less about Alucard, but I voted for him just to vote AGAINST Sephiroth.

Sephiroth is cool.

He'll own Alucard. I don't know about the next round.

I think the biggest blowout match is going to be Mega Man vs. Tommy Vercetti. Mega Man will own him.

AiAi: Unfortunatley not, which is depressing considering Granida 2 is quite easily the best RPG I've ever played. I'm sitll searching for a copy, though- if anyone can point me in any direction, that would be most appreciated.

"I am right shocked that Mario won. I doubt he can take Sephiroth, but we shall see."

I was thinking the same thing yesterday- if Mario could just barely, through some act of divine intervention, beat Cloud, I really doubt he can beat Sephiroth. At least it won't screw up my bracket TOO much, though.

um, cloud?  you mean crono, i assume.  and chrono trigger has an insane following.    he can sure beat the pants of sephiroth, at any rate.  

for the record, mario beat crono last year, too.

as far as mario vs sephiroth, i think it will be a very close match.  don't know who will win though.  i'll be sure to vote mario, though.
Title: RE:The Great GameFAQs Character Battle II

Crono is indeed what I meant to say- sorry for the mix up.

well, megaman downed tommy vercetti, i must say i didn't quite see that coming, and definatly didn't expect it to be that a convincing of a win, well done mega-man!

currently link has ample votes to see him win over samus, :\ a shame really, well... as nintendo's best hope its good that link will win, but i would have liked to see samus go a little further. quater finals atleast, ohwell

But if there is one person I'd accept defeat from it would be Sepiroth or Link.

If you had a 128 character battle and included varieties of different chars, I would be pretty sure that the top 32 would be Nintendo franchises vs. Final Fantasy vs. some random characters. I think what Gamefaqs did is fine.

Fuckinghell what the devil is going on? Cheating must be at work here, it must be, theres no way Cloud could pull a lead like that so early in the contest.

Last year's champion is losing to some pathetic mental case who has trouble defeating a girl with a giant plastic sword.

There has to be cheating- if Mario could defeat Crono, who I guarantee you is more popular than Cloud, Link has to be able to win.

It's only mid-day anyway- we saw that anything can happen right up to the last minute.

If Gamefaqs had put a picture of SCII's Link instead of WW's Link, Cloud would be in the dust.  But oh well, it's not decided yet and Cloud vs. Sephiroth for the final round doesn't sound too bad.

Why wont you and your Nintendo Fanboy behind shut the hell up? Play Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix or download "Showdown of Fate" on KaZaA and tell me if the "girl with a gigantic sword" is easy to beat you damn fanboy.

I don't even know why you idiots are mad. Last year, both Nintendo characters got in the finals. Why wont you all give squaresoft fans a chance and have there 2 favorite characters in the finals? I hate Nintendo fans, they are so selfish.

Yes, WE'RE selfish- WE register at obscure fansite forums to flame some people we neither know nor care to meet over something as trivial as a popularity contest. WE'RE the evil ones here. NOT you- YOU'RE a perfect little angel, a role model for all those who look upon you. Us Nintendo fans would be so much more thoughtful and considerate if we were all like SKH4Life.



Just a question, but if you hate Nintendo fans, why are you wading knee deep in them just to make a half-assed point?

I'm Square, but I do like other games they make and dislike some in the FF series.  And I can say the same thing about Nintendo fans, "I hate Nintendo fans.  They are so blind to anything that's not Nintendo or exclusive."  That's kind of true actually(no offense), but that's their opinion.

hmm, average number of votes in gamefaqs poll: 100,000 N° of votes in Cloud versus Link; 150,000.
Something wrong there.
Our doubt our resident Skater Boy who enjoys abbreviating words much like crappy teen bopper Avril woud understand such numbers, or where they came from
Listen mate, we all know there are other Squaresoft games, if you scrolled up about 3 posts before you arrived you would've seen us discussing the merits of Chrono Trigger.
We're Nintendo fans, I know that because we are all happily posting away at Planet Gamecube dot com so of course we are going to vote for Nintendo characters in the GameFaqs polls and of course we are going to be dissapointed if our favorite characters lost. I'm sure you would be very disheartend if Mario (you say italian like it's a bad thing) beat your longhaired girly man and Link (you say elf like it's a bad thing) beat the cross dressing cloud.
It's like you expected us to react the way we did and just wanted to be an arsehol and rub it in our faces.

Why is Nintendo pointless? Please elaborate on your incredibly well thought out statement

And Wind Waker and Kingdom Hearts arent even in the same league, even if i like Kingdom Hearts better, i would still have to admit that Wind Waker is the better game. Have you played Wind Waker? What did you think?

LMAO.  Oh, that was hilarious!

Honestly, you can't take a joke about Cloud and Sephiroth?  Wow...they're just video game characters.  Some people take this contest WAY too seriously.

Hmm...you call me a fanboy, yet you sound like one yourself.  Geez, man, honestly, somebody who registers at a Nintendo site to bash Nintendo fans needs some time off from his/her computer.

So listen to me...back away from the computer.  Slowly turn it off.  Now go to your front door.  Open it, and step outside.  Yes, yes...don't be worried.   The light shining in your eyes is from a little thing in our universe called the sun.  It does no harm.  Now look around.   You'll see many mysterious things that you haven't seen in your lifetime, but don't be intimidated.  Most of these mysterious things are harmless.  For example, look at the green stuff in front of your house.  Pretty, ain't it?  It's called grass.  But enough of me talking.  Go, young one, enjoy the world and foget this petty contest!

i completely disagree with you, piac.  if you limit it to one character per series you're going to have way too many battles like mario vs aiai.  it's just not entertaining to see one character blow the other away.

yeah, i'd like to see kid icarus vs doshin the giant, but it would more likely be kid icarus vs link and doshin vs cloud.

perhaps gamefaqs.com can have another battle vs all the people who lost in the first round.  it would be nice to see captain olimar make it past the first round.
