I don't know anything about characters' strengths, so I'm gonna give Cecil a shot because:

1._It's FFIV's main character we're talking about in here.

2._My logic indicates Halo fans are way more prominent in the day.

3._FinalFantasyFAQs vs. LOLHaloFAQs.

And...

4._I'm heavily biased.

Am I doing it right?


Reason 4 should always come first.

Unless Halo Game Fuel comes back, there's no way I'd ever take Master Chief over Cecil in a night match.

I'd take Knuckles over Kain, though! Kain may look badass, but let's be honest: Knuckles is the godfather of badassery.

I think we will need a combination of the Halo Game Fuel coming back and Halo 4 actually being well received in order for Master Chief to win over Cecil in a night match.

...not to mention Halo 4 is no longer being developed by Bungie, but by 343 Industries. That's something that will most likely split the fanbase even more.

Hey, you know what I'd like to see? Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero.

I think most people will side with Sub-Zero on that one.

Being barely stronger than Tidus vs. being barely stronger than Gordon Freeman

Sub-Zero would beat Scorpion, no contest.

Never understood people who reasoned that they were the same strength back in 2006. Made no sense.

Sub-Zero did 5% better on a stronger Auron.

And, for Cecil to beat MC on a school day, what would it need before the ASV? 53%? 55%? =O

Frog had 53% by the ASV in 2004, though Master Chief (and Frog at the end) were rallying.

In a 12 hour match Cecil would be pretty safe at a lot less.

I'm not an expert with Mortal Kombat fans, but I don't feel that there would be SFF between the two. Fans seem to be more split on which one they liked better.

There might not be SFF in a one-on-one match, but Scorpion's still in no advantageous position here or based off of contest-matches.

As a Mortal Kombat fan, I gotta say that you're pretty much spot on. Either you're a Scorpy or a Subby guy. Not many people really play both.

I think it was either Johnny Cage or Reptile.

Johnny Cage made the Round Robin of the NRT, so I'm guessing popular opinion is him.

Not a bad performance by Skyrim if it's holding it this close during the board vote. I bet Skyward Sword drops off a little bit after the board vote to make this a close battle for first.

Oblivion had quite the board vote of its own in that "Favorite 4 game" poll the other day.

We'll see which one holds.

Skyrim ends up #1 after the board vote. Lets see if it holds

Never thought I'd see a WRPG more anticipated than the next mainline Zelda game on Gamefaqs, though!

Kinda sucks that Uncharted 3 isn't here, since I think it would be an easy 3rd place. Doubt it does as well as Skyrim or Zelda here, though

Skyrim extends the lead from 4 to 14 on the second update, although both games drop off after the freeze. Skyward Sword dropped off more than Skyrim though.

I guess weird stuff like this happens when you have a mainline Zelda game coming out late into the Wii's life cycle and during a time when the Wii is at an all-time low on this site. Skyward Sword would be better off as a Wii U launch game, because we saw the Wii sell like crazy (23.74% ownership on the launch date) when Twilight Princess was a Wii launch game.

That's definitely a shame, yeah. Even still, though, Skyrim beating Zelda here bodes really well for western characters/games in general - in particular, I can't wait to see how Shepard does. I almost wonder if he'd beat Pikachu in a rematch nowadays.

Imperial Guard is probably strongest character from the series, at least up to Oblivion. Hopefully Skyrim introduces a character popular enough to get in.
