Can we not have one wih non exclusive game characters? Its been nearly 20 years surely we can do one with non exclusive game characters? It would be way more fun.
This would be the best scenario.
I dont really understand the reluctance from Allen.
All the people complaining about Lets remove Link from the contest! Hes too stronkkkk!!! Should be asking for a fictionals contest. Add Batman and Darth Vader into the mix. Suddenly Link doesnt look so safe.
Also even if Link is naturally stronger than Batman now, would it be a shock if Batman wins via bandwagon or rally? I dont think so.
Seriously, everyone wanting Link removed from the bracket - because hes too popular to be in a popularity contest - should instead be demanding a contest with Darth Vader and Batman and Spider-Man.
The reason is obvious. Then it's not a video game contest anymore. It's a random popularity contest, and it doesn't have anything particularly to do with GameFAQs other than being hosted by it.
Like, if we're gonna go with a "fictional characters" contest, why not add historical characters? Abraham Lincoln vs Batman would be one heck of a battle, no?
Of course a contest with fictional characters that have appeared in games would have something to do with video games. Video games are not limited to things original to gaming.
Because people *want* a cool fictionals contest, and they do not *want* a stupid historical figures contest?
People *want* to see Spider-Man and Darth Vader. Characters that would be strong on their own, and potentially get rallies of real supporters. They do not *want* to see a stupid historical figures contest, where only trolls would rally the figures for the lulz.
The entire point is that Abraham Lincoln vs. Batman would NOT be a heck of a battle, because Batman would be a monster and Lincoln a joke entrant.
Why are you conflating something people would *want*, with something they do not *want*?
Popular potential monster characters with joke entrants?
Maybe I'm overestimating DroneFaqs but I'm pretty sure no one could challenge Link without rallies. Batman would be 40-60ed by Link too.
