start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

these topics do not close when they are done so if you want to go argue over the results feel free to bump old topics and increase my brand recognition: https://bit.ly/YFTB8

Probably the only game in the series with real strength, too!

There was a time I would have considered Liberty Prime as a potential Guru nomination if I ever took the prize.

Though my brain made me read the prompt backwards, so technically my first thought was Kirby? Y'know despite being the opposite of this.

Initial thought was Pokemon... which I guess is true of the majority of the characters, if you disregard the top few who are strong.

I can't really think of any where the games are strong and the characters aren't.

I guess Halo.
