Like it had to have been deleted by a moderator for some reason but I can't think of why it would be deleted.


Maybe some sort of "legal" thing?

People are mentioning that they are/are not eligible for prizes. So then maybe someone thinks they are going to be winning something when in reality they are not?

What happened to the topic that had the top of the contest rankings and whether people were prize or fun entries? Like I thought it had a post in this morning/yesterday so no way should it have been purged but not sure why it would have been deleted


I was looking for it myself this morning. Glad it's not just me that thinks it's odd that it's missing.

Alright, so here's a consolidated list that I've compiled. Granted, this is coming from someone in GameFAQs core demographic...so probably missing some more modern stuff.

But you look down this list and you're like, man, I'd really like to see how they stack up against "our" video game characters. Video games versus Pop Culture: The Showdown!

Half the entrants from video games, half from Pop Culture. You could stretch and do 64 for each but I'm thinking 32 per side so you're only taking the best of the best.

Marvel
Spider-man
Venom
Iron Man
Captain America
Hulk
Thor
Black Widow
Black Panther
Thanos
Wolverine
Professor X
Cyclops
Beast
Mystique
Storm
Magneto

My favorite part of adding comic/movie characters will be when Mario ekes by Spider-man and Samus 60/40s Vader, and everyone's all like "THIS IS THE YEAR SHE DOES IT" and then Mario beats her again by like 50 votes.

:p

But seriously, I totally understand why adding non-game characters makes sense. I think it would be fun but I also think we're guaranteed to get another Draven/Undertale situation where something like Jar Jar Binks gets joke rallied and "ruins" the contest. At some point though it just is what it is.

If you want to keep it just to video game characters then something needs to be done to spice it up. ...I'm just at a loss for what that would be.

Mario + Rabbids is pretty fun.

There's a lot of great indy/downloadable titles too if you haven't already played them someplace else:
Shovel Knight
Hollow Knight

All in all, this was a great contest and I'm glad after sixteen years we still have great experiences like these.


Amen!

Thankfully, we didn't get any contest "ruining" outside rallies (i.e. Draven and Undertale). Yet we still had unexpected results from the runs of Zelda, Tifa, Tails, Alucard, Geralt, etc.

Plus, the Losers bracket stuff was neat and let us see some extra matchups, even if it would have been better if the ordering had been reversed from Legends.

Some of you guys in this topic are WAAAAAY over the top with your anger. I really hope it's just an act.

It's a poll on a video game website. Have fun. Aren't we all in our 30s anyway? I think there's better things to get mad about than one Nintendo icon beating out another with a nail biting finish.

Third straight 1 vote lead for Samus - that's gotta be a record.


Actually it was Samus then Mario then Samus again.

In my opinion registered votes counting as two votes is not nearly enough to stop rallies except for small ones. Multiplying the registered votes by three or four would be considerably more effective. Any chance you can do a last minute change on that?


What he could do is not count the 2nd vote for registered users until after the poll has closed.

Imagine a poll where Character A is winning by 500 votes at poll close because of rallies. Then the registered votes are added in and suddenly Character B wins by 50 votes.

It blunts the efforts of rallies to completely override the will of the GameFAQs users.
