| Panthera 09/05/18 10:05:17 PM #40: | Rathalos from Monster Hunter The series has never been represented in a contest before. Its unlikely to get represented without some nomination lobbying, because it isn't really the kind of series that comes to mind for a "character" battle. But with Monster Hunter World releasing this year and being hugely successful (and still one of the most popular games on this site, based on the message board activity) and just recently releasing on PC, and Generations Ultimate just having been released last week for Switch, and Rathalos himself having made a crossover appearance in FFXIV and being set to appear as a boss in the new Smash Bros game, Rathalos is recognizable enough that he could well have some decent strength in a contest. He won't be a contender or anything but compared to some other characters that need rallies to get in he's probably one of the higher potential choices. Plus Monster Hunter is great and even if he's not my favourite monster from it by a long shot, he's the face of the franchise. Monster Hunter has long been a big seller in Japan and a cult hit in the west, but now its starting to see its popularity grow worldwide, so this is the perfect time to see it get some character battle love. --- Meow! ...
