I don't think Animal Crossing, Earthbound, Fire Emblem or Golden Sun finish in the top 3.

Seeing Ratchet and Clank as a commanding #2 makes me pretty sure all of them do.

yeah, Animal Crossing might get #3. the rest get #2. R&C is not very popular. Nintendo stuff wins by default.

it'd be kinda cool to see all the winners thrown into one big poll. Zelda > FF > MG > RE > Sonic > GOW > Tales, I guess? Tales might beat GOW actually based on that one poll last year.

xyzzy
KamikazePotato | Posted 8/11/2010 6:29:34 PM | message detail
Tales would get last. These kinds of polls work more on brand name hype than anything else.

Looks like "More than 500" is going to choke away the lead to "More than 100". "More than 500" got all the way up to a 151 vote lead at 12:30 AM and now "More than 100" got a monster 42 vote cut on the most recent update. Won't be long until "More than 100" is winning this poll.

So, our NRT-winners are as follows:

1) Barret
2) Squirtle
3) Seifer
4) Otacon
5) Morrigan

I'm going Squirtle > Barret >> Seifer > Morrigan >= Otacon, I guess.

The thing is that there's no reason to think that she'll be worth anything. Darkstalkers is probably at the bottom tier in terms of fighting series strength.

Except Morrigan didn't "prove to be junk" in 2002. She finished right behind Dante and right ahead of Squall.

Ahead of Scorpion, too.

But yeah, that won't happen again.

If we're talking about Darkstalkers Morrigan, she will bomb. If we're talking about Dragon Age Morrigan, she will bomb.

You know they would have strength. You do.

Mario/Servbot is a match you can't take at face value.

which is exactly my point. something was funky with mario matches that year, so you can't really say Morrigan really looked good unless you count Servbot as looking good as well. She'll be king of fighter character level fodder these days.

Cid only did a sliver worse than Zack Fair (who is damn near being a regular in these now), and that was in his first contest match ever with a meh picture. He did alright after the fact, and those of us who were expecting mid-40s from him were expecting way too much. It's clear that Mega Man won't give up that kind of percentage against many non-N9 guys.

Anyway, I'm cool with Barret, and he'll probably be the last FFVII character the board will seriously push. There's no one left worth a damn, and I don't mind educating and laughing at any schmuck who tells me that "Rufus Shinra" is a good idea. What I'm miffed about is everyone accepting FFVII character #9 with open arms while completely turning against OoT character #1.

That makes no sense, really.

But you can't really take anything from 2002 anymore. The whole point is that Morrigan didn't prove to be junk in 2002. That's all.

How she'd do now is a totally different story (Bad).

Hey, Rufus Shinra is a much better pick than Barret! We've had enough FFVII party members already; if we're going to get more FFVII characters in, we should start on the NPCs. And I've supported Rufus Shinra since his namesake won the Guru contest and didn't choose him.
