Poll
Question:
Who is better?
Option 1: Elizabeth (Bioshock)
votes: 4
Option 2: Vyse (google says skies of arcadia)
votes: 5
Hey All.
Now that the post 1782 and superlatives are over, there's going to be a gap in the forum games board. To fix this, I came up with this idea, after some inspiration from other internet friends since we actually do this at least once every month.
Basically, it goes like this:
Every couple of days, I'll post a matchup here, with two characters pitted against each other. A poll will go up, and it is your job to choose which character is better than the other. After the allotted time phase is up, the poll will "close", and the winner will continue, and the loser will be eliminated from the tourney altogether. This continues until a winner is decided. Keep in mind that matchups are determined by random.org, so it is entirely possible for a character to appear multiple times in a row.
In addition, if you post your vote in the thread, and give a reason, I'll award an extra vote for that character. This is to encourage meaningful posting and voting, and I may give an actual prize for whoever has the most meaningful vote.
The first matchup is below this post, so without further adu....
FIGHT!
Welcome back from the commercial break. I'm Yugi, and I'm here to announce our first matchup.
So, without any more distractions...
ROUND ONE

WARIO

FIGHT!
question:
If link is in the fight, does he automatically win because link is the best?
And I gotta go with pikachu because he has that range and quickness plus his nose is too small to smell wario or something idk

BTW, this isn't "who would win a fight", it's "which character is better".
Quote from: Yugi on January 29, 2015, 09:42:33 PMFIGHT!
Are you sure they aren't supposed to fight?
That said Wario is better simply because he wants it more.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 29, 2015, 09:42:47 PMquestion:

LOL
And question: is it only ssb characters?
There's more. It just happened that it landed on two super smash brothers characters.
K
I voted for Pikachu because, although I really like the Wario Land games, Pikachu is, overall, more of an iconic character. Plus, Pikachu has a variety of elemental attacks at its disposal, whereas Wario does not.

TWG Pikachu has been lynched. It is now night 2.

Wow.
Another question: when do you lock the poll?
People actually like Pikachu, huh.
Anyway, Pikachu beats Wario 11-1. Next Round!

VOTE!
Also, please don't vote based on "who would win in a fight". This is a celebration of each character, not Mercs. If you do, I'll take a vote off of them.
Never played Okami, but Amaterasu seems like a cool character. That said, though, I went with Samus because she's awesome and I like using her in Smash Bros.
Agreed.
Samus Aran. Okami was an interesting game, but Metroid is a long-running franchise, and Samus is a very influential character, as well as being an awesome one. :P
I'll admit, I haven't played Okami, but I absolutely love Metroid games. And Samus Aran. She's probably the only video game protagonist who does literaly everything by herself. No interaction, no dialogue, just lots of shooting and jumping.
Ok. True fact though.
Never heard of the first dude so I'll go with samus
Well I never heard of the first dude but it looked cool so I picked the other one :)
Oh and BTW yugi can you pick characters most people would know? Like not a lot but just enough.
Quote from: Maelstrom on January 31, 2015, 04:31:46 AMNo interaction, no dialogue
Depends on which game you're talking about (and your definition of "interaction" and "dialogue"). :P :P
Samus 'cause I haven't played Okami. Sorry. :/
BTW I went with Ammy here. Okami is a beautiful game and it's easily better than the metroid games I've played. Plus the only time I know Samus has gotten actual characterization it was Other M so...
Quote from: Yugi on January 31, 2015, 03:14:49 PMPlus the only time I know Samus has gotten actual characterization it was Other M so...
What? Samus has gotten plenty of characterization before Other M threw it all out the window.

That's... a bit surprising...
Quote from: MaestroUGC on January 31, 2015, 03:47:10 PMWhat? Samus has gotten plenty of characterization before Other M threw it all out the window.
This, definitely.

Have you ever played metroid fusion
if not you should
what console
GBA.
Ooh, that's a console I have.
Also, I should have clarified this earlier so it doesn't seem that I'm not bullshitting a result, but explained votes will only count in the case of a tie.
There will still be a prize for whover has the most creative explained votes, so watch out for that.
Anyway, Ammy beats Samus 7-6. Next Round!

Sackboy. I haven't really played much of the Uncharted games, but Sackboy is a very adorable and versatile character. The LittleBigPlanet games are very enjoyable.

Bro, Magikarp can do more than just use Splash...
CATS is cool, but Magikarp is classic. Plus, Gyarados.
Can we request characters?
Nope.
Quote from: Yugi on February 02, 2015, 02:27:24 AMNope.
fuk. Might as well vote when there's something I heard.
I always remember that episode of Pokemon where James bought a golden Magikarp with all their money, then when the ship is sinking and they need to swim out to escape, they find out that Magikarp can't even swim :P So yeah, Magikarp

SEANATOR STEVEN ARMSTRONG!
fuck this means that we're losing a good metal gear character either way
Nanomachines
like is this even close
NANOMACHINES, SON. Because NANOMACHINES... ... ... son.
Yay look who's back!
Not a big mgs or mgr fan, so I'll have to go with NANOMACHINES
And in the end, memes ended up beating a legit good mgs character.
It's sad, because all Armstrong wanted to do was to get rid of internet memes.

skies of arcadia's music is pretty meh
but vyse is cool
I don't know both of em.
Elizabeth vs who?
You telling me you guys have never played Skies of Arcadia?
What?
It's pretty reminiscent of zelda to me except it's your basic RPG
oh and there's pirates
and a bellydancer...
Elizabeth because Bioshock?
