I would LOVE to see another games contest, but get rid of the generational gaps that were in the first one and we have ourselves a kickass contest.

A female villains contest would get the lowest votals out of any contest I can think of. A contest poll with Tanner vs Jay Solano would get better votals.

I still think the Games Contest is the best contest we've had, we absolutely must have another one.

...Were there any females in the villains bracket?

...One, if Mother Brain counts.

If we have another games contest, we need to start it off with Halo 2/World of Warcraft.

A female villain bracket would kick ass only to see Queen Zeal and Azala make the field and perform respectably.

Think about it, we could have Mother Brain vs Mother Brain!

Another Games Contest is a definite must. Although, I wouldn't be against a "Best Merchant/Item Seller" contest. Besides RE4, I don't think a single other game could put up a merchant able to hold a candle to Tanner...

I remember Generic Enemy discussions way back in 2K3 (I wasn't really around the boards in 2K2, I wouldn't be surprised if they happened then), though I don't recall them ever leading to hypothetical brackets or anything.

I would LOVE to see another games contest, but get rid of the generational gaps that were in the first one and we have ourselves a kickass contest.

Agreed. The generation thing really hurt the contest.

I still say that a best level/world would be better than a female villian contest.

There, we might be able to see Zeal become the next Starcraft and upset some really well known areas.

But this holds true for virtually anything.

A power-ups contest would be better.

A levels contest would be better.

A company contest would be better.

Hell, a Super Mario Bros. only power-up contest would be better. Super Mushroom, Kuribo's Shoe and Fireflower > Female Villains

I will take back all mention of a Merchant Contest. Nothing that will help Tingle get back in any contest has value.

Spreader wouldn't even make it out of round 1, let alone be able to beat the multitude of SMB power-ups that'd litter the upper half of the rankings.

Thinking about it, a power-up contest would friggin' rock.

Won't a Power Ups conteset result in Mushroom domination? The Triforce might be able to stand a chance, but it doesn't really qualify as a power up because youi never actually get to use it.

I'm shocked she doesn't deal with this more often. I guess most of her opponents have played her games.

I vote yes on the power-ups contest. That has serious potential, even though it would get dominated by Mario stuff. At least it'd be funnier the most other contests >_>

Also, a numebr of those "villains" turned into good girls in their games. I don't think they'd be eligible as villains under those cicumstances (see: Magus).

Ajora was a male, I'm almost positive.

I think he was referred to as masculine (though given the translation, I suppose that isn't conclusive), and

MINOR SPOILERS

He was supposed to be a Jesus parallel.
