So far...

Ganondorf
Shadow the Hedgehog
Kirby
Nightmare
Yoshi
Phoenix Wright

Top 5 = The usual 5, and as for Wright...well, I want to see how far he can get on Internet fad popularity alone. Of course, maybe I should have saved it, as now I have to save the last spot for the Guru...oh well.

Samus
Princess Peach
Zelda
Sheena
The Boss

Still have one female slot open for myself. I'd rather not nominate the FF characters, but eh, I'll probably end up giving away the last slot.

Couldnt we technically nominate almost any Pokemon for female?

BRILLIANT! Does Mewtwo have a female form?

Heh, I nominated Seung Mina too. Heres what I have so far:

Alex Roivas
Vanessa Z. Schneider
Sarah Kerrigan
Terra
Rebecca Chambers
Seung Mina
Nozomi Harasaki
Master Moltar | Posted 7/26/2006 2:06:31 PM | message detail
Mewtwo is genderless, so I think it would HAVE to go in male.

Your Male Character Nominations
The Prince of Persia
Nightmare
Sub-Zero
Captain Falcon
Raiden

Your Female Character Nominations

Tifa Lockheart
Chun-Li
Presea Combatir
Celes Chere

That's what I've gotten so far. I was going to nominate Mei Ling and Emma Emmerich, but those two have little chance of getting in, so I'm going to wait a little while to make sure I didn't forget about any other females first.

I hope it's not 32 men, 32 women. If that's the case, there will be a lot of snubs.

If they work some way around snubbing people, this could be pretty cool.

I'd rather prefer an all-female contest if I had to choose though.

Wow, this will be the first year that I don't nominate Conker. I feel like I'm betraying him, but this nomination system is as good a time to retire him as any :(

Perhaps it will be a 128 character battle. How awesome would that be?

128 character battle would make me feel a little better about the idea of certain characters like Knuckles missing out.

If it really is a 32/32 gender split while including Clinkeroth and Mario, we'd better hope for a ton of female/female fodder matches, or else we'll have very little to debate.
MarioSuperstar | Posted 7/26/2006 2:14:56 PM | message detail
128 would take a hell of a long time though.

I wonder if he'll get back the 1/16 seed system.

A female poll and a male poll everyday, it could work.
LeonhartForever | Posted 7/26/2006 2:17:12 PM | message detail
That would really hurt the vote totals of whichever poll was on the bottom.

128 would take four months.

Not to mention that we'd be scraping bottom-of-the-barrel for female characters that would make Tanner look like Clinkeroth.

Nominate Nidoran F.

Strongest man with weakest woman and vice versa.

Link and Nidoran F for the win!

If the bottom poll is placed just below the top poll, i don't think it would hurt too much. There is always an ad separating the character poll and the POD.
LeonhartForever | Posted 7/26/2006 2:21:55 PM | message detail
I haven't even noticed when we've had a poll below the contest match...

A quick question, are we allowed to nominate Starcraft units?

"If it really is a 32/32 gender split while including Clinkeroth and Mario, we'd better hope for a ton of female/female fodder matches, or else we'll have very little to debate."

Naw, with only 32 male charactres that side would produce basically no fodder, so the females can take up the spots their male counter parts would have. All told, I think this increases the over-all power of the field. Now strong characters like Aeris won't get snubbed while mid-range or lower males would be replaced with mid-range females like Marle and Peach.

Couldn't he like combine two polls? Like have it split 1 match on the left and the other on the right with a single vote button or something like that?

Hmm I thought the L block made the character contest before, perhaps I am mistaken. Nevertheless I am nominating carriers.

CJayC specifically said in SC2K4 that carriers wasn't allowed because many people tried to nominate them.

Mass Carriers actually got enough nominations to get in into the contest, but Ceej specifically said they weren't allowed.

Master Moltar | Posted 7/26/2006 2:32:11 PM | message detail
Not as much, but quite a few most likely. She's still getting enough on the female side for a 1 seed.

So there's her, Zelda, Tifa and Peach for the 1 and 2 seeds? (Yeah, I can't see Aeris getting enough noms for it. More likely a 3 or 4)

Dammit, I wish we knew what kind of Contest is going on.

Tediz247 | Posted 7/26/2006 2:34:57 PM | message detail
I've decided to give two nominations on the male side to fairly strong characters that might be in danger of missing due to the system. Three, if the guru winner chooses a female. Here's what I've got.

Knuckles the Echidna
Gordom Freeman (Not strong, but it wouldn't be a contest without him)
Vincent Valentine (Still don't like him, but it would be a damn shame to see a top 10 character miss)
Vivi
Tidus
Alucard
Leon Kennedy

Any help narrowing it down? >_>

Oh snap, Amy Rose. Though I don't like her, she'll most likely get that second-to-last female spot now, as she has potential, but I'm still holding out.
