I admit, Meat Boy is scaring me, which is why i am not going for full points in EC today.

Honestly I'm hoping that more people have heard of G&W compared to the other two.


Honestly, that makes sense. Like I said however, going off the pic I feel that he's the least recognizable character in the match.


How can G&W be unrecognizable? His design doesn't change. He looks the same in that pic as he does in anything else.

Do you even think about what you type?

I think his followup post answered this question pretty well.

Also I never really considered Meat Boy winning this match. Just hard for me to imagine him winning.

I seriously want to know who hasn't at least heard of Super Meat Boy. He's a title character of a million seller, and the game was fairly talked about when it came out.


I have no idea who he is.

Do you keep up with games? Or is this actually a site that doesn't play games anymore but still cares enough to have character contest? These questions are coming off as rude, but I'm just saying that I saw a lot of headlines on Gamespot and other sites about Super Meat Boy. I couldn't get away from hearing about the game back when it came out. I'm pretty sure Super Meat Boy was being given GOTY nominations at major publications, if not the award itself. It's one of the biggest indie games out there, and unlike Braid, Meat Boy is both the title character and generally has a more interesting character than standard platform leaders. I didn't even like Super Meat Boy that much before I realized it was my computer having issues with it, but I still found Meat Boy himself a likable character. I think Isaac did better than expected, and I think Meat Boy would be quite a bit stronger. I mean, I think this is the hardest to predict match in round 1, all three could take it, but too many people are writing off Meat Boy as a non-factor.

Isaac put up 15 and change with Link in the poll. Meat Boy is from the same developer and the competition is way less harsh, so he should do fine.

I think my biggest problem with Gamefaqs (or this board?) is that a few years ago they said Agent 47 was "a nobody"
WHO DIDN'T HEAR OF SILENT ASSASSIN

Given that Silent Assassin lost to a game called Jedi Outcast in its GOTY poll, this site.

#67 | CasanovaZelos | Posted 8/3/2013 8:59:35 AM | message detail
I really want to know what a contest like this would be if the average site user stayed at about the same playing level as those in the first GameFAQs contest. Like, if a completely new site managed to have a character contest with very active gamers with no outside interference (because lol Gamespot), who would the strongest characters be? I mean, Solid Snake established himself off two games I think, because no one seems to care about him pre-MGS. There are plenty of modern characters that are better established now than Snake was in 2002. I'd figure at least someone between Master Chief, Kratos, Sora, or Dante would be strong enough to at least rival Snake's level in 2002, but the only ones who manage are Pokemon and other Final Fantasy characters.

Mario, Snake, Sonic, all of the noble nine, I'm pretty sure would still be fairly strong, and I do feel that the Noble Nine did a fair job summarizing the big characters back in 2002. Who would the noble whatever be if the contests started now and not ten years ago?
