Yeah, I think a lot of the oracle Analysis team predicted he'd get like ~30%. I mean, he has SO MUCH EXPOSURE. BlazBlue is an OBSCURE FIGHTING GAME SERIES. Like, Ragna should be around DAN levels. And Cole can't pull away.

After Spyro/Crash I had high hopes for a Sony character.

This is just pathetic.

I think there would be a very big dropoff between the top tier fictional characters and the rest.

But you've got Wolverine, Spiderman and Batman who could all possibly beat Link. I expect nothing from Superman though. He would probably bomb compared to expectations.

And then you've got the Star Wars onslaught. Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Han, Boba Fett and Luke could all probably be high midcarders at worst.

I don't think the expectations for Superman would be that high. Most people probably put Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine above him just among the comic book characters list. Probably Iron Man as well - now I'd never have taken Iron Man>Superman before the current movies, but Iron Man today is much more of a money-making franchise than Superman. I think most would favor Iron Man over Superman today.

And since RDJ doesn't have a contract for Avengers 2, he might get the highest paycheck in Hollywood history, since he's the star of the show and Avengers made a ridiculous $600 million domestic alone. Would be tough to do Avengers 2 without him, and the only sequel that would probably beat Avengers 2 money is maybe Avatar 2 (if Cameron ever gets around to that).

Decent chance Magneto is stronger than Superman as well. I'd favor Magneto.

Not even Dan levels, I'd have thought Dan would wreck Ragna. Ragna comes from a series whose character designs are attributed to Hentai artists, is a white-haired bishie with heterochromia, a blunt sword that looks like a LEGO, and on top of that the game fanbase is tiny and the gameplay is ass. That's like a cocktail for badness and yet he's making Cole work up a huge sweat to keep him down. Either GameFAQS has beyond awful taste or Cole is so weak Wander might beat him very cleanly.

I don't think expectations for Cole were that high...most I saw had him mid-20's from what I saw. He's underperforming, but not by much. He was expected to be horribly weak.

I kind of have doubts as to whether Bacon would ever have a Fictional Character Contest with non-VG characters. I submitted a poll for Favorite Star Wars protagonist and it was rejected, as have been other pop culture polls I've submitted in the past. This kind of thing just doesn't seem like the kind of thing Bacon's interested in.

Except for The Beatles, for some reason.

From looking at the Oracle topic, most had Glados high 50's, Cole mid to high 20's and Ragna in the 15+ish range.

So Glados and Ragna are both taking a couple points from Cole, relative to Oracle expectations (at least currently - who knows what direction the night vote shifts things).

This will probably be among the higher average scores for an Oracle match so far, as most seemed to have nailed it pretty good.

Yes, I highly doubt Bacon will authorize the fictional contest we'd want. Even though that's really the only thing that would stop the constant trend of lowered vote totals. So it'd make profit for the site, certainly more than the current contest. But, the powers that be are clearly not in favor of it.

Actually, depending on how you play the game, Cole's shirt will change colors

You start off with a yellow shirt as a throwback to inFamous:

Then, if you save all the orphans, you get a white and blue shirt, because Jesus loves you I guess:

But if you kill a lot of homeless people your shirt gets slightly torn and turns red:

Could you imagine kicking so many puppies that your shirt turns red?

Sherlock Holmes would be one of the strongest fictional characters imo. He is iconic, he is referenced a ridiculous amount in every type of media, he has popular books, tv shows, movies, and video games. He has been portrayed by more different actors than any other fictional character. On top of all that he is just an awesome extremely high quality character (in the original novels at least) and I think the type of character that this site likes.

After seeing Dracula I doubt it.


Dracula is not close to Holmes and if you think he is you need to go out more. The vampire fiction genre (subgenre?) is not dominated by Bram Stoker ripoffs and hasn't been in any of our lifespans. But mystery? What bigger face is there for mystery than the man with the pipe and the hat that goes 'Elementary, My Dear Watson'? Nobody. Sherlock is huge. HUGE. Huge enough that he literally has two, possibly three TV series going on RIGHT NOW, even.


I can't see Sherlock beating anybody above, let's say Aeris at best.

OK, Cole is looking like he actually wants to show up and not, y'know, lose to Ragna so that's good, but he still wins the Megalol Of The Contest Award in my heart.

Also Zen wins the award for funniest rant of the contest because he's making laugh like an idiot here.

I remember when InFamous fans went into such an uproar when they changed Cole's design for the second game that SP changed it back.

Truly proof that Cole is an iconic character who should be doing better.

I dunno, I wouldn't give him Megalol award... I expected him to perform badly because new Sony and "generic looking guy in a new game that's pretty good" characters have long sucked.

I'd give it to Wheatley (for losing to a character who had not won a match in a decade) orCaim (lol Caim) so far.

I don't want to give Blazblue any credit at all and I'd like to win the expert challenge so I wish Cole wins on one hand, but on the other him losing to ****ing Ragna would be so ridiculous that it might be worth it to burn a match's worth of points on a laugh. I'm torn here! Help!

Tommy easily wins Megalol of the contest.

He went from beating Kefka and DK to getting doubled by characters who would likely lose easily to those two.

I don't feel that way Creative. I just...I don't feel it. Luke is the guy I wanted to be when I was a little kid, swinging my lightsaber around. Not Yoda, not Ben Kenobi, Luke. That kind of nostalgia is an extremely hard to find thing, but Luke has it. Vader might be stronger, but I'd bet you good money it's more of a Kefka/Terra thing than Auron/Tidus.

Han Solo/Luke would be the Auron/Tidus relationship.

Vader is not even in the conversation - Vader/Luke would be one serious beatdown. It would be parental cruelty.
