The funniest thing is, Nidoran's female line is considerably less popular than the male one. Source? --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |

Deserving Female Characters Samus Zelda Tifa Lockhart Yuffie Kisaragi Aeris Gainsborough Princess Peach Toadstool Jill Valentine Yuna Rikku --- entering maybe territory Claire Redfield Marle Lulu Rinoa --- entering really iffy territory Morrigan Aensland The Boss Lara Croft Ms. Pac-Man Just a little over 16. Any more than that and it just gets plain worrisome to me. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Remember the yay or nay topics? Nidoqueen struggled to get yayed, but Nidoking was one vote short of a yay shutout. Plus, the tournament afterwards, where Nidoqueen got a whopping 17% on Flareon while Nidoking got 73% on Tauros and 38% on Blastoise. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh...

Sheena could beat Ms. Pac Man, Lara Croft, and Morrigan, at least. I think she'd have the potential to be high-end fodder. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

Marle - Chrono Trigger Lulu - FFX Rinoa - FFVIII Quistis > Rinoa, by the way Though maybe not in a contest. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Oh, and like mnm said, Aya would bomb today. Parasite Eve was much
bigger back in 2k2, but with the discontinuation of the series by now
she's completely fallen off the map. It's not one of those games with a
lot of staying power. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Rebecca Chambers might actually be able to win a match with a good
draw, actually, given her role in the REmake and being one of the main
characters of Resident Evil 0. Can't see her getting the nominations to
get in, though. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

*makes mention of Amy Rose being worthy* And I'd say Meryl > The Boss, in terms of contest strength --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

And I completely forgot Joanna Dark (and I nominated her, too!). She should be able to do something in a field that weak. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I also nominated Meryl, though I'm iffy on Metal Gear characters as a
whole. I'd be much more comfortable taking her to win a match after
MGS4. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Oh, and it goes without saying, Lulu has the same problem as Yuffie. So basically, if I had to pick 16 females to make a bracket, it would be these: Samus Tifa Aeris Zelda Peach Yuna Rikku Chun-Li Jill Claire Kasumi Marle Morrigan Sheena Lara Croft Joanna Dark Five Square characters is a little much, but I guess it's unavoidable. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh...

I still wouldn't take Samus over Megaman, Crono, or Solid Snake. I have my reasons. --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |

If you include Lulu, you have to have Yuna and Rikku first, and there's Tidus and Auron representing the males. Five FF10 characters would be even more of a problem than FF7, because it doesn't even have the popularity to warrant that compared to FF7. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh...

It doesn't? All four of those FFX are safely above the fodder line and are actually in close proximity of each other. And it's one of the most popular games of the last generation. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

If five characters from FFX get nominated into the field, then it apparently DOES have enough popularity to warrant it. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man? |

I'd safely take Auron over everyone from that game, and Tidus over Yuna and Rikku no problem. Heck, the reason why I was so surprised Rikku made it last year has nothing to do with her own popularity, but because that made four FF10 characters. That's the problem with removing all caps. Once you start increasing representation, where do you stop? I'm thinking Aeris at the very least had the noms to make it last year, but was only kept out because Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa and Vincent were already there. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh...

I never said that Auron wasn't the most popular, just that the other three aren't that far behind. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

True. But then again, for all we know other fan favorites from FF7 could be not too far behind Tifa/Aeris/Vincent. ...what was my point again? --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

I'm not sure. But either way, I wouldn't bet on Cid and Red XIII being that close to those three. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

I would be interested in seeing Cammy in this contest. She wouldn't be
as strong as Chunners, of course, but I think she could make it in just
above the fodder line. --- This was Ed Bellis. |

Who would you guys take in Sonic/Kingdom Hearts? [...] And after
seeing these things, how do you guys feel about a Sonic/Mega Man
matchup now? I'd feel iffy on both match-ups...but give me Sonic in both of them. Close matches though, I figure. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

I think The Boss actually has a shot at belonging in the second tier of
deserving, instead of the last. If she had an actual name, it would
help a lot more. Big Boss I could understand failing, because I always
saw him as someone behind the scenes, you don't really interact with
him, etc. The Boss, however, is a main character of the game and she's
undeniably cool. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Heh. I'm glad Ceej is mixing it up with FF representation; pictures of
FF7 leads every round would not only be unfair, it would be a

Is Marle really the most popular female Chrono Trigger character? I'd
think the order would be Ayla>Marle>Lucca, and I'm not sure about
the Marle-Lucca comparison. I guess people don't like the power of Charm. |
