Solid Snake may not be a pretty boy, but he gets his fair share of play.

He's alot like EC, really, except Solid has consent in his favor.

Snake is hot, but he's not a pretty boy. He just exudes masculinity.

Don't think my list would be too exciting since it's not filled with characters from RPGs and stuff that the board goes gaga for. And most of my write-ups would be "______ kicks ass just because".

If more people would be honest with themselves, we'd see a lot more "I like _______ because he has says awesome stuff, looks really cool, and has some awesome-lookin' moves that do a lot of damage."

At the end of the day, "___ kicks ass just because" is what it boils down to. There's all that other stuff, and that makes for nice writing, but come on. If your favorite character isn't up there because he punched a dude in the face...

so would mine, mnm. if I do it, it's seriously going to be a bunch of two-line writeups that I can finish in a day.

the question would be trying to rank them.. I either like characters or don't, I don't really have favourites per se.

it's right at the end. fairly memorable, if you ask me.

cloud: "okay, let's mosey."
cid: "what kind of leader says "let's mosey"? say "move out" or something!"
cloud: "move out!"

something like that, that's totally paraphrased.

I like Cloud, but I don't remember him saying "Let's mosey" at all.

He says it right before you lead the party into the center of the planet to face Sephiroth, and then Cid chews him out for saying it.

Yeah, even with RPG characters.... I tend to like them for simple reasons. I like Squall simply because of how he kicked ass in the Deling City FMV. I like Cloud simply because he kicks ass in battle and has cool limit breaks.

As for ordering my character list, I really didn't have an order until the character battles came around. I didn't even have a set list before then besides Knuckles and perhaps Sonic. I didn't realize I liked Zero so much until I saw him taking a chunk of nearly 48% out of Sonic and me consequently gloating. I didn't realize I was a big Bowser fan until I started arguing with people trying to take Yoshi or even Ness over him in 2k3.

Basically, to order my list, I just think about deep down who I'd be rooting for if two characters were to face off against each other (and not taking pity voting the character who would obviously lose into consideration) and rank them from there.

Then that means I like Sonic a lot more than I think I do! Man, I find it hard to root against that guy. I almost felt like voting for him against Luigi...I think it might just be because he makes or breaks my bracket every year.

Okay, he breaks it every year. But still, I don't really care about whether I win or lose though.

If your favorite character isn't up there because he punched a dude in the face...

What if she jumpkicked many dudes in the face? Am I alright?

(Though really, the reason I love Mint is that she's hilarious... the jump kicking is just a bonus).

If he rapped, I hope it would be about his good looks so he wouldn't have anything to rap about. I'd hate to hear some of his whack rhymes.....

If he feared those, well, that just wouldn't be the EC we've come to know and love.

Heh, nobody ever wants to give Shadow any credit. Sure, Kratos has GOW2 now, but Shadow should be stronger than when we last saw him, too.

I agree, but so will Kratos...and it's just odd for me to think of Shadow being terribly strong. Reasonable statistically, just odd despite this.

If Knuckles vs. Dante is a debated match today, I don't see how you can pick Kratos over Shadow unless you think Kratos has reached Dante's level already.

Yeah, do you take Kratos over the likes of Knuckles, Dante, Zero, Magus, or Ryu this year? 'Cause I don't, and I think Shadow is right up there with 'em. He has every reason to be equal with Knuckles (or stronger).

Good point, I wouldn't take Kratos over Dante or Knuckles yet (though I'd still take Knuckles over Shadow). Give me Shadow > Kratos.

Speaking of Shadow, I'm about to play SA2:B. Hopefully it's better than SA1 or Sonic Heroes when I screwed around on those games.....

I definitely wouldn't take Shadow over Knuckles. I hate to refer back to the ancient Knuckles > Magus > Tidus > Shadow chain, but the idea of Shadow being stronger than Knuckles doesn't sit right with me.

Shadow could be indirectly stronger than Knuckles, but there's NO WAY that Shadow wins over Knuckles in a poll. Heck I think Knuckles could give Sonic a helluva fight.

Kratos would beat a few of those guys, yeah. Hell, Leon's already ranked ahead of Zero, and after GoW2, I definitely take Kratos over Leon.
