Their final battle is up: SSBM and Halo "won" in the Final Four but were DQ'd, so it's Half-Life 2 versus World of Warcraft now.

Chun-Li should be doing better, I mean where's the love people? Plus SF4 is hot right now.

That said, while I'm always fighting for fighting game characters, I do think Sol Badguy is a pretty funny nomination. I've played with his character plenty of times, but he just doesn't really stand out as a character notable enough to nominate.

street fighter IV had to contend with persona 4 and GTA4, 4 ways, there was too much LFF of the number 4.

Four can't be divided evenly by three games without fractions and we're using percentages, so that makes sense. GTA4 must have gotten the lion's share because it had the most words in its title.

On Board 8, maybe. The game lost to Persona 4, isn't going anywhere any time soon, and most importantly it's a god-awful game. Capcom, scammers that they are, are already starting up with the Super Street Fighter 4 Tournament of the World Champion's EX Subtitle Genesic Edition Plus Plus +A 14 ^ n crap.

Well, that's your way of looking it at. For a lot of fighting game fans it's a great one, and again many hardcore would buy a new Street Fighter update every year if they kept releasing them. I know I would, love the genre, love the series.

Hey guys.

SF4 beat Persona 4.


Persona 4 totally won in spirit. If you need a last second rally to keep yourself from last place against PERSONA 4 (a game that sold about 16 copies) in a fourway poll, you've lost.

And oh no, wasting 40 dollars instead of 60. I'm sure the scammers at Capcom care about this minute difference.

"Do you buy all the DLC, too? rofl"

I don't get why buying an updates Street Fighter annually yearly would be so hilarious. People do it with wrestling games, racing games, etc. And me, I get so much enjoyment and hours out of SF4 that getting a new version with a bunch of new characters every year would be well worth the price.

Six more characters announced already, and of course tweaks, new moves, etc.

But since you don't like SF4, I can see why you'd look at it the way you do.

New games in a series is the biggest cause of character stagnation in these contests.

LOL where are you pulling this BS from? The only Madden I've ever bought is 2004. The others I own (94, 95, 98) were gifts from childhood. So no, I don't waste money on roster updates.

As far as SF4 nearly losing to Persona 4, that's not too much of a surprise. GameFAQs has a very narrow taste in games -- if it isn't Nintendo or Square, you're gonna have it pretty rough. Action games and fighting games, in particular, don't resonate well with the sort of audience that hangs around here.

Don't even start lying. People expected that game to place, and some thought it would win the poll outright. Struggling with Persona 4 made it one of the biggest contest busts of all time.

Squall didn't get "overly emotional" about it. When does Squall get overly emotional about anything?

Eh, people just have a very broad definition of what "emo" means, I guess! Of course, by that definition, anytime anyone gets upset, he's emo!

Which means nearly every character ever created is emo!
