I was surprised as hell when the idea to let guys like Batman and Vader in the contest was met with any opposition at all.

I was against it because I wanted to see a proper 1v1 character battle first. Now that we've had this contest, I'll be glad to have a fictional character tournament.

I would take Batman to lose to Clinkeroth, but probably beat the rest of the field. I'm not sure where the rest of the fictional characters lie, since I think there's probably a big gap between Batman and the rest. I see Batman as like 2002 Link, where only Spider-Man, and maaaaaybe Wolverine, Homer Simpson and posssssibly Darth Vader could break 40% on him.

I've always longed for an "appeared in a video game" or "significant/starring appearance in a video game" if you prefer contest. The debates alone would be fun as hell.

Who wouldn't love to see Wolverine vs. Snake.

I would love a Fictional Character Contest from all media (although it shouldn't be mixed with video games.) That's probably what we're getting this year actually, since I doubt the Summer Contest would be a half tournament.

Jake Sully vs. CATS, who ya got?

Jake Sully, especially if he gets a Navi picture.

To me most of the fun comes from mixing with video game characters. That's where the matchups get so interesting and awesome.

Batman vs. Superman is not nearly as interesting as Batman vs. Mario.

Also a fictional character contest without mixing with current entrants is much more predictable.

Also, I'm saying it now, I don't care what you think of the 4-way format, if Bacon lets guys like Batman into the next character battle, he's light years ahead of CJay.


The best kept secret of GameFAQs is Bacon > Ceej.

Ceej wasn't perfect, but I thought he handled things better than SB, especially in terms of contests.

SB is way better technically though, in terms of coding etc. Also we don't get those "site down for database maintenance" things anymore (I'm assuming he's responsible for that, though I could be wrong).

That's not possible, more than 10% of the South is black.

It would interest me what percentage Lincoln would get of the Democrat vote and Republican vote. I think he'd do better with the other party than his own party.

Abe Lincoln is an icon to Republicans actually. My guess is he'd do virtually identical with both parties, I think he's just accepted as "American" in a non-partisan way.

If Oda gets a Samurai Warriors pic, he's got a good short. He'd certainly win in the Anglosphere, as I'm guessing they'ed rather vote for a badass Japanese warlord than a French dictator.

But I hope they never allow non-vg characters, because once you let that Genie out of the battle there's no putting it back in. They could muscle out a lot of good videogame characters.

Honestly I'd think Abe would do better with democrats since his stances were more democrat like even though he was a republican

They're okay, I think the main problem is that the Star Wars characters are losing their iconess and strength because the original trilogy is so old.


This isn't close to true.


Any character that only appeared in the original movies and not the prequel took a hit in strength. Han Solo I believe is weaker today compare to 10 years ago.

Napoleon would win in a crushing


Ceej wasn't perfect, but I thought he handled things better than SB, especially in terms of contests.

CJayC has done a lot of dumb things for the contests though. The only think SB is guilty of is staying with four-ways for too long and to split the games by era (which CJayC also did).

Of course CJayC has had more years to screw up than SB.

How is that less people, though? If anything, more people have watched it in the last 10 years, since you can't subtract people who have already seen it... unless they die, i guess

In a historical battle the 1 seeds should be:

Caesar Augustus
Abraham Lincoln
Genghis Khan
Alexander the Great
Winston Churcrhill
Charlemagne
Hammurabi
Shi Huangdi

Then again, maybe not.

And as for this match, looks like those of us that were afraid of Drake because of him losing to Cats were right!

He might be very marginally less popular, but "nowhere near as popular" is just blatantly incorrect.
