LeonhartFour posted...Classic literature characters would not do well at all. Nah, classic lit would just have too few people who've actually read their stuff.

We've actually already seen Dracula.

He did fairly well but the Castlevania series gives him a pretty good floor and I think vampires being an enduringly popular thing and his position as THE iconic vampire gives him a lot of credibility. So I don't think his case should be generalized. The Lord of the Rings movies were big enough and well-liked enough that Gandalf could be good too, yeah. Harry Potter might be decent but I feel probably a majority of Harry Potter fans are female which is going to severely limit what he can do on gamefaqs.

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 I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength DC Batman Robin Superman Wonder Woman Aquaman Joker I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Dragon Ball Goku Vegeta I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Other Anime/Comics Naruto Godzilla someone from The Walking Dead?

Mickey Mouse someone else from Disney? someone from the Pixar movies? Bugs Bunny someone else from Looney Toons? Animaniacs? Pinky and the Brain? one of the Power Rangers? one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Harry Potter Harry Potter Voldemort I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Star Wars Darth Vader Boba Fett Palpatine Kylo Ren Yoda Han Solo Luke Skywalker Princess Leia Chewbacca Rey C3PO R2D2 BB8 Obi Wan Jar Jar Binks (yeah, yeah I know) I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Lord of the Rings Gandalf Gollum I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Other Movies The Terminator Alien Ellen Ripley Predator James Bond Neo Mad Max Other General Dracula --- Smelling roses and sipping Champagne. ...

I don't think Beast belongs. Gambit probably beats him too but nobody should try to get Gambit in.
Individual Power Rangers would be absolute junk. I REALLY REALLY don't see the demographic that famously never really took to Tidus despite his game's strength and seems to have turned hard against even a lot of nostalgic "edgey" characters encountering Kylo Ren at around age 30 and saying "Wow, this whiner edgelord guy is great." BB8 isn't much of a character in the first place and with no nostalgia it'd tank hard. Potentially worthwhile manga/anime characters really might just be DBZ guys outside of I guess non-game Pokemon characters. Think Naruto hit too late for the gamefaqs demographic to care about him. Sailor Moon, Yami Yugi, or Spike Spiegel would have potentially higher ceilings, though I think it's more likely they all collapse laughably than look respectable. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] ...
