Character Battle Results

So, Link beat Cloud in the finals. Not surprising it came down to those two again.

But check this out.

The lead response to today's daily poll (at the time of posting) "What did you think of this year's Character Battle?" is that it was terrible. It really was terrible, and I'm glad other GameFAQs visitors agree with me on that.

The very close second response says it was pretty good, but wants fewer joke characters. If we go that route, why not just remove the strongest competitors? Because if we know the joke characters won't win (with the exception of L-block) then we also know that other deserving characters won't win.

You know, because they aren't Link or Cloud.

Expect a follow up later today, with final results.

UPDATE: Results stayed very close between "terrible" and "pretty good."



Now what we wait for is if GameFAQs will return to their crappy Link-Cloud-Mario-Sephiroth-Snake-Samus-same-old-same-old-Character-Battle. My thoughts: yes, unfortunately they will. And guess what? Our top competitors will still be competing against hopeless characters like Crash Bandicoot, Banjo and Midna. All the while, real competitors (read: ass-kickers) like Dante, Wesker (pre-RE5) and Soap get snubbed big time.

Return to my previous post about this stuff for more insight about something so useless, but otherwise still a great waste of my time.
