man if you have a proper name you suck in the contests, if you are a modern western character with no quirks like solid snake, then you suck.
If you have vibrant colours to your design, have nintendo games under your belt, don't say much and have a cool sounding name, you suck less.
All those normal name chars are going down.

The amount of Pokefear in the lasts two contests combined still isn't anywhere near ZackFAQs

We'll see with Nathan Drake, won't we?


Nathan Drake is from a game series that has sold 3 million total

Soap is from a game series (MW) that has sold over 25 million total

kinda hard to argue those

ZackFAQs is a bit like the Brawl Deboost. It feels so good talking about it.

my point is that KP said that nobody cares about the characters in CoD games... but the fact that they got high seeds at least show that some people care about them, even if it doesn't translate to strength itself

yeah, that would be a pretty fair comparison I guess. Though maybe a little bit stronger since MW games are more popular here then Gears of War games.. just look at GoW losing to Shadow of the Colossus.

The biggest travesty of the contest is that one of those guys will be in round three while Vincent got eliminated the round before. Just switch one of those guys from that fourpack with Vincent, and we're good to go!

Switch Vincent with Geno, and Guybrush/Geno becomes an instant classic!

of course i believe what i'm saying. nobody in that 4pack can compete with the main character of the biggest game this gen. its more due to their patheticness then soap being anything special though. Just being CoD4 should be enough

When you have 3 characters who are "who cares" and 1 who is a "Who cares" from a big game on the site, it will be more CoD4 voting then character voting

Man this sounds suspiciously similar to an argument we heard before about some Guitar Hero character. Especially this "biggest game this gen" part.
