I don't expect Sonic to get 80% on Sonic. Nor would it imply he was a leech if he did. I was just asking why you would be mad if that happened? It would be like Link getting 80% on Zelda. It wouldn't mean anything except that more Sonic fans like Sonic. @_@

Anyway, other than that Sonic beating Ganon and Kirby is pretty much a foregone conclusion despite what some people would have you believe. So nothing in what I said was trolling.

Also I'm pretty sure I've played more Sonic games than 99% of the people here. So, yes, I have played a Sonic game before. I don't see how that would be relevant though.

Because that many people prefering Sonic over Knuckles would be sad. Knuckles has reasons to be prefered over Sonic while Ganondorf/Zelda don't.

Actually, you're right about one thing. Sonic getting 80% on Knuckles would be about as shocking as Link getting 80% on Zelda.

What? Are you serious? Link is the most bland character to ever exist. He has no character. Ganondorf and Zelda at least have a little bit of reason to be liked.

Meanwhile Sonic and Knuckles both have a lot of character, but as a Sonic fan myself I can say that I much prefer Sonic to Knuckles (despite Knuckles fitting into the badass archetype) and I can see why the majority of Sonic fans would choose Sonic over Knuckles. Why would Knuckles be more likeable than Sonic? Meanwhile I would pick Zelda and Ganondorf over Link.

Technically, Link is designed after Robin Hood. He has plenty of personality.

Not that I even disagree. Nintendo is allergic to new ideas.

The only time I would vote for Link over someone would be if it was a character I disliked. I have no disposition towards Link because he gives me nothing to go on. He's just a tool (literally.) He makes no choices of his own, and he has no opinions on anything. It's not like there's something there to like.

So real life mute people have no personality

Real life mute people make decisions for themselves, and can still communicate through their own choice. The can also think for themselves.

I hate people who think silent characters have no personality.

I hate people that think that people believe Link has no personality because he is silent.

hmm, interesting, if the Guru picks Dark Link, we could be guaranteed the biggest wildcard since Vincent when it comes to powerhouses, but I wonder if we could create a Rally of sorts anyway for him.
Loads of potential characters could be at the very least midcarders, now that X, Zack, Charizard and Cid have been tested.
We could go for that second FFVIII character( come one even XII and IX and IV have had more entrants), Dark Link, some of the newest additions to the Kingdom Hearts roster, Blastoise, Snow and eventually the Versus lead.
Once you start digging, a lot of potentially fine new members start to pop up.
