Yeah, I don't understand why you're giving 4chan credit for L-Block.

Unless you're to good for jokes retroactively as well.


You realize that Albion is pro-joke and pro-4chan, right?

Looking at this map, Israel seems to be black, which would mean Hitler is actually winning there.

Kratos is above the fodder line, and Lloyd isn't that much below it himself. I'm not sure why people complain about them when characters like Wander keep getting into contest after contest.

I know that you guys love your returning fodder, but Captain Falcon is somehow behind them and has proven to be well above the fodder line. Bayonetta is untested and at least would have provided a change in pace. Both entries deserve to get in well before Lloyd/Kratos.

Catherine sold 200,000 copies in its first week in the US. That's majorly impressive for an Atlus title and shows that they're gaining some well deserved ground in the industry. Obviously GameFAQs appreciates it.

Or maybe it's just because of the name.

Clearly her rivalry is less popular as it is currently doing worse in a popularity poll, or do you think only Board 8 is voting on the POTD? Yes how dare we support the more popular rivalry.

Aya Brea vs. Eve got 1 nom on that list, wasn't in the suggestion database, and still got in the vote-in. Unfortunately I don't think that list will give us any idea of who will be in the rest of the vote-ins.

It's worth noting today marks the first time that entries from the same game took last place in two different vote-ins: Killer7 took one in the GotD-contest, and Harman/Kun will be taking it today. The only other time we've seen something similar was when two entries from the same series took last; the Tales-series had Emil Castagnier and Jade Curtiss lose hard in back-to-back polls. How weak are they? Jade's the only aforementioned one to make a contest (and did so twice)...

...Nathan Drake pre-UC2 aside, those are eleven losses in eight matches. You can also look to GameSpot if you want to gauge Doc Louis (28% against Clank) or -- the one who best breaks these trends -- Andrew Ryan (~53% against both Cyberdemon and Kane, ~26% on Darth Vader). Andrew can blame Big Daddy for getting last place in his vote-in pretty easily, too.

Jigglypuff remains the only one with a great argument for another shot due to Nintendo-SFF and potential fighter-LFF, but even then I wouldn't expect much from her.

You know, if Katherine/Catherine get in, I believe it'll be the first time Atlus has character reps in the contest.

Hope they get in, especially since other than Chell vs. GLaDOS (with the latter being a robot) I don't see any other female-only rivalries getting in.


Well hopefully, Tifa vs Aeris... but I see your point...

Also, you realize what you're saying, right? These rivalries deserve to get into the contest even though they can't muster up more votes! They have to be stronger than Lloyd/Kratos even though they're losing to them in this poll!

Falcon doesn't even have the excuse of another Nintendo rivalry in the poll to excuse it. Falcon is strong because of Smash Bros., so when you start trying to draw rivalry strength from F-Zero itself, he's not going to do as well.

I expected Catherine/Katherine to be in second before voting. Catherine should be the strongest Atlus character, too. no other character has represents their game as well.

Catherine's on its way to my house, can't wait to give it a shot

I don't think an Atlus character has even made the contest. I'd have a hard time picking just one Persona character. I want to say Chie or Yosuke would be strongest, but it's like the TOS guys - all pretty close and all pretty weak. there's no Kratos Aurion in that cast.

Persona isn't monstrous on this site, but if memory serves, P4 and P3 did alright in the games contest.

Persona 4 is slightly stronger than TWEWY and Persona 3 is slightly stronger than Civilization IV. I wouldn't take Laharl to have a snowball's chance in hell against Kratos Aurion or Lloyd, and I'd think Laharl might be the peak for a Persona character. Hell, Persona things might be closer to Neku than Laharl.

Saying Laharl may be the peak is generous. I'd never take a Persona character to win a match, something Laharl has done! Plus, Disgaea has a much higher playrate than Persona plus Laharl is much more popular among the fanbase than any single Persona character is.

What reason is there to believe that a Persona character would actually have anything vaguely resembling strength? An extremely close win over Dead Rising? The second-tier Persona losing the US to a like, sixth-tier PC game on a site that doesn't care at all about PC games? Persona 4 not only has the same being a cult RPG factor that Laharl (and Tales crap) has, but Laharl at least has 'came out while the system has a higher playrate' and 'had a port on a Nintendo thing' going for him.

That said, I didn't realize quite how terrible Aurion and Lloyd did last contest, so Persona things might get smacked around by Laharl and still beat them!

TOS was absolutely stronger at its peak than Persona is now. TOS has fallen a long way -- as all cult RPGs do -- so it's possible that Persona has overtaken it, but probably not. TOS broke into the mainstream in a way that Persona never did.

I don't think anyone here would actually consider Persona 4 over ToS as games, but the characters have become completely horrible, so picking them to drop even farther down the hole isn't that bad of an idea.
