I think he misinterpreted it. I thought we wanted all fictional characters that have appeared in videogames and not just everyone in general which he seemed to interpret it.

I'm not surprised. Also not surprised people want Link excluded in the next character contest, but it's funny so many people whine about him winning often.

Tbqh I had no idea what you guys were talking about when you mentioned All Fictional Character contests but I didn't want to ask and make myself sound silly.

I did clarify that I wanted it to be restricted to characters who've appeared in video games only, but apparently, he overlooked that because he seems to be afraid of Jane Eyre breaking the Noble Nine or something.

1. It depends on how Bacon arranges the teams
2. It depends on how voters view the teams (Do they just vote for their favorite character on each team or do they weigh both characters into account?).

Chances are it would be bad though.

I didn't suggest an "All-Fictional Character Contest". What I suggested was a Character Battle contest where fictional characters are allowed. If that happened, the following restrictions would be in place:

1. All fictional characters must have appeared in at least one video game to be eligible.
2. Religious and political figures are not eligible, even if they appear in video games. So "Jesus Christ" or "John F. Kennedy" would not be eligible.

I suggested bringing back the tournament of champions. Is he bunching me in with the Link haters?

Honestly, though, all I'm looking for is a contest that won't be steamrolled by Link. Not to say I'm tired of him winning, but it's obvious he's not going anywhere. Even Cloud is starting to wane a bit which at least keeps things interesting.

TBQH there's not really much of a difference these days. In all honesty I probably can't name 10 characters I'd want that have never been in a video game. I could name plenty that have been in crappy games, but almost everyone has at least been in an obscure PC game at the very least.

Pretty much any notable fictional character has been in some video game at some point, unless they're from some very recent TV show

No, I don't seem to be implying that.

I'm saying there are still many notable characters who wouldn't be included if it were limited to video game appearances only.

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot of stuff that hasn't been made into a video game. Just looking at my BFC noms alone, 10 out the the 11 not-native-to-video game characters hadn't been in a video game.

I am quite certain that any literary character who would have enough notability that they might make it into such a contest on Gamefaqs has been in some game, even if just an obscure PC game. Heck, I know for a fact that there are games based on that TV show Wishbone, that probably knocks off a whole bunch of them by itself.

Yeah pretty much this with a 128 character bracket. Sorry but Aticus Finch isn't a top 128 character on this site.
