Link has some personality in BotW. I'm sure that's what they're voting on.

Also, Link and Toon Link. Because clearly what the bracket needs is more Links running around stomping everything.

toon link sucks though. He would be midcarder at best here.

I spent my first 10 hours or so of BotW running around in boxer shorts because the starting clothes were too plain. I never even put on his blue tunic used in all the art

Round 1 results are released on March 17th and I assume Round 2 starts after that. For some reason they have 5 weeks scheduled for a 6 round tournament where each round lasts a week. So I'm not exactly sure what their future plans are.

Pikachu is killing Sephiroth easily on IGN.



At least Sephiroth is somehow in second place here. On GameFAQs, I would have definitely taken Pikachu > Sephiroth based on the 2018 contest, but it would be a lot closer here. Sephiroth looked bad enough in 2018 that he would lose to Pikachu.

However Sephiroth is losing to Big Daddy on YouTube where 500k votes have been cast vs 24k on website.

I haven't seen what Twitter and Snapchat votals are but it appears that the youtube votes will dictate the result

Voted in all of them. I still can't believe how Link dominates everywhere. You would think that people like characters with a personality.

The thing is, he's so popular by virtue of being the main character of Zelda.

GTAV is too casual to do well here. The 750k ovtes should tell you how many casuals voted

what is interesting is witcher 3 though. Any sort of develeoper rally and its a threat to win this contest. Witcher 3 on its own is going to be a juggernaut on this site. That game has grown so much in terms of popularity everywhere

Kind of related, there was a "March Madness of Iconic PlayStation Characters" just posted on the PS4 subreddit. Here's the bracket:

Based on how the youtube polls are going currently. This is likely Round 3:-

Link
Master Chief
Sonic
Crash Bandicoot/Lara Croft/Dante (2% separate these three)

Kratos
Mega Man/Sub Zero (1% separate these two)
Luigi
Arthur Morgan/Ezio (1% separate these two)

Mario
Scorpion
Doom Guy
Geralt

Solid Snake
Kirby
Nathan Drake
Pikachu

Kratos, Doom Guy and Nathan Drake currently dominating. Suggesting it is very much for the casuals. Be interesting to see how these come up against the powerhouse of Link, who by comparison only has a 9% lead over Master Chief

Second half of the first round of r/PS4's character battle is underway. Only about 1,000 votes for each battle, so most people seem to be ignoring it. Interesting that Spiderman's in the tournament, we'll see how he does.

Barely any casuals know who the fuck Kratos is

And i voted for round 2

All ihave to say is

LOL Toon Link

I'm sorry. Even if you have him in Gamefaqs contest. He's not doing anything.

No idea how Ezio is this popular. Considering his games are nearly a decade old now.

I mean how old are Luigi's and Samus's games

Those characters are still relevant in Smash and various Mario Spin off games

Characters like Nathan and Kratos have an obvious Sony bias towards them and they have recent new popular games

Ezio's popularity is just a bit odd.

I don't think it particularly matters if Luigi or Samus are "relevant." Samus hasn't starred in a game people care about in longer than Ezio. He's a popular protagonist in probably the most popular entries in a popular series.

Smash is huge. If anything Samus doing those numbers shows that shes boosted like hell by Smash.

Samus would have been fodder on a site like that otherwise. Luigi is somewhat still relevant even without smash.

I agree Samus hasn't had anything worthwhile.

Or maybe Luigi Samus and Ezio are just weak midcarder characters in that bracket.

Uncharted 4's almost four years old at this point, though. Also, casuals have most certainly heard of Kratos (to say the least), and you're out of touch to pretend otherwise.

Oh, and even mainstream gamers most certainly like, respect, and generally care about both the Metroid games and Samus as a character. Don't attribute everything to Smash.

Nah, Samus is an iconic character from a few really popular games. I don't think it's just Smash. Otherwise, Kirby would be doing a lot better than he is because that's where the bulk of his popularity comes from.

I mean Smash helps but they don't need it to be popular

Kratos isn't as popular as you think.

IGN is just more heavily Sony centric.

Samus is a character that gets the majority of her strength from her character design and overall being a status symbol. Kirby is the same, but to an even greater degree.

Well yeah theres the respect factor too. Kirby barely has any. And I don't think Kirby is that popular in Smash compared to Samus

Its just more balanced.

Master Chief doing well over 40% on Link tells us that.

Also I think the Final will be Kratos or Link vs Solid Snake

Snake gonna clean house.

Kratos was already popular back in the days of GoW 1-3, and that was when he sucked. Kratos' recent characterization is universally praised and the game itself is the most popular in the series so far.

IGN is just a bigger site. Therefore games or characters like Chrono won't do shit there. Despite the fact that IGN could very well have more fans of Chrono Trigger than Gamefaqs.

My point is i just don't see Kratos as well known character in the casual market. Like a MAster Chief or Pikachu
