Why would KOSMOS not be as popular as she is? She's a pretty good character overall.

I always thought a tiny part of KOS's strength came from that - it just makes no sense to me that she's as popular as she is.

I've always thought that KOS-MOS was more popular than she should theoretically be as well (I doubt Xenosaga 1 is popular enough to keep her above the fodder line for four straight years), but I always thought that that was due to her character design being the OMG!!! Hot Robot Chick!! Perhaps it's a combination of both.

KOS-MOS being powerful shouldn't really contribute much at all. You're not going to know she's that powerful unless you've played the game, and then you're probably going to vote for her anyway. o.O

You guys don't seem to realie that KOS-MOS is actually somewhat iconic. She was everywhere when Episode 1 was first released. People know who KOS-MOS is, that's why she does decent compared to other cult RPG characters

KOS-MOS looks like an anime babe, is anyone that surprised that she is much more popular than the other "cult" RPG heroes?

By the way, I haven't seen very many game-based movies, but I believe the original MK is our holy grail, as it's the only one that hasn't been completely panned by critics.

*Aherm* The Alien vs. Predator franchise started as a video game, and that movie wasn't terrible. Second looks to be better. Of course, the video game started as a mix of two existing movie franchises, so it depends on how you want to look at it.

Old Ocelot,

This might be off topic but why is "young Ocelot" more popular than old Ocelot. Old Ocelot has a better voice actor, a more cold russian character, more badass look, is in better games and finally he isn't a freaking poser. Why is that lameo more popular than the old timer?

Wow...Marcus freaking wins that pic, with Ocelot coming second. Cloud is really looking off...but it won't stop him from destroying the group. LOL Kefka.

As for the other. WTF Ryu? Bowser and Shadow seem odd. Auron has the advantage there.

lt4chi | Posted 10/6/2007 4:29:06 PM | message detail
well,Ryu does look...fruity? in that picture.

Auron also looks worse than usual IMO.Bowser seems normal.and Shadow looks good.

I'm still willing to give Ryu a good chance at second here.and even Shadow,if something weird happens,could have a chance,seeing as he isn't all that much weaker than bowser and Ryu in the first place

Auron will be very far away from the others in this poll (though not as far as in the last one obviously)
BDawg | Posted 10/6/2007 4:37:38 PM | message detail
In the world after Sonic>Sub-zero, yeah I'll say Shadow has no chance.

That's KHII Auron, so I guess it's not that bad for him. Still looks terrible in my opinion, though.
Mac Arrowny | Posted 10/6/2007 4:52:27 PM | message detail
Ouch. I thought Ocelot couldn't get any worse than his melting form. He looks like some retired hippy on his way to Las Vegas.

Shadow looks the best in the other picture...but he looks the best in every picture, so that's no surprise. Auron looks like he's in pain, and Bowser's OK. Ryu...lol.

Speaking of looking awesome...it's a shame we didn't have a Shadow/Hayabusa/Zero/Mewtwo fourpack this year. The winners would be completely unpredictable, and the picture would've been the most badass thing ever.

Overestimating Auron to beat Bowser or Ryu by 10% isn't a bit.
