GameFAQs Contests

It just feels wrong for Frog to be so dominant in a match. It's not his style!

Psalm 73:20: As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Tina started out weak then too
She went stronger and stronger the longer the match kept on...but it was a day match so I dunno if it matters

Eh, Elizabeth and Draven are new characters who won.

Oh god
Fine im outta here

Wow, I am beating Allen thanks to Prinny > Armstrong.

Joe may end up costing me points, but I do love to see him doing so well.

Draven isn't from 2012 too.

This is actually the first poll in Frog's entire contest career that he's gone and stomped. He did narrowly win a vote-in from Rikku though.

Draven was released last year.

Man, not a single character from 2012 has made a good impression. The only exceptions have been Shepard and Garrus, who already had Mass Effect 1/2 behind them before ME3 last year. Tiny Tina/Face McShooty, Shulk/Reyn/Dunban, Clementine...not looking good for the other 2012-newcomers.

Looking at you, Lee Everett.

Nobody cares about characters from Borderlands. Nobody has played Xenoblade. And despite what people might have you think, on this site, not many people have played The Walking Dead.

I'm not the hugest Borderlands fan but I do love the characters

I really wish we rallied in Mordecai or Lilith over Face.

and although I'm obviously in the tank for V.Joe, but Handsome Jack is far and away the best/most popular character in that game, so I thought he had a legit shot of coming in second here. Hell, he still does

You're right that for the most part Borderland's characters are forgettable and no one cares, but I think Jack would be one of the exceptions.

You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun.

I doubt Borderlands is going to have a good opening vote, if Tiny Tina is any indication. I'd say Jack is the favorite at this point

You do realize we haven't actually seen any of the playable ones yet, and NPCs don't usually do nearly as well as playable characters. Stuff like Sephiroth is the notable exception.

You honestly think they would do better? They might be better than the NPC's, but that's not saying much. They'd be worse than TF2 characters.

Well, if Jack loses that will be a thing and I'll just shrug. I learned a long time ago that GameFAQs doesn't share my taste. But huh, Jack is really cool in Borderlands 2 I just don't know.

Xstats on Tharja are going to be epic.

SHARED NAMED FACTOR! It's a thing! "That Viewtiful Joe game is really good" has been a thought spreading around since 2003!

If you somehow don't know Frog and didn't play BL2, then Viewtiful Joe is the way to go!

Eh, Elizabeth and Draven are new characters who won.

Bioshock Infinite's from this year, and it's probably our strongest game since Skyrim/LoZ:SS in November 2011. LoL came out in 2009...can't say much about when Draven was added, but he was losing horribly without his rally anyway.

Who else besides Lee Everett's a 2012-newbie, anyway? Kat from Gravity Rush, Palutena and Hades from Kid Icarus: Uprising, Vaas from Far Cry 3, Corvo from Dishonored...anybody else? Can't say I trust any of them either.

Corvo is going to be about as strong as Gordon was in 2002. Silent protagonist from a really good FPS game. Maybe even weaker because Dishonored didn't have the reach that HL had.

So, weaker than Tina Armstrong.
