Tendo City

So let's start with the choosing of the characters!

Coolest character, or best character?

Coolest characters:








Best characters:






And finally, the bestest character of all time, is:


Thar she blows. It doesn't get more official than that. If you can't tell, I really liked the characters in those games. :)

*walks in* *shakes head* *walks out*

Hehe. Why the hell is Aeris in there? What's cool about Aeris??

Give us names, please. And I'm talking about the "best" characters, whatever that means.

Yeah, pictures without names ... aren't too helpful ...

Hmm... characters to nominate...

Mario
Luigi
Princess Toadstool
Bowser
Link
Zelda
Ganon
Kirby

Uhh... other than that, who...

The Nameless One
Commander Keen
Kyle Katarn
Jim Raynor

Harry Mason
James Sunderland
Heather Mason
Fei Fong Wong
Grahf
Elly Van Houten

Ah, Fei Fong Wong. I bet they got the name from the legendary Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung (or Hong, as it's spelled sometimes).

Link from Wind Waker:



Young Link from Ocarina of Time:



Adult Link from Ocarina of Time:



Link from Link to the Past:



Link from The Legend of Zelda:



Link from Soul Calibur 2



Link from Super Smash Brothers Melee:



Link from Space World 2000:



I think that's about it.

I don't know who any of those characters are (Weltall)... of course I also don't know who some of Hudson's characters are, too.

Hmm... some more.

Sarah Kerrigan
Thrall
Medivh
Zileas

Oh yeah, and of those Links... which is best. Hmm...

Oh, you're missing Link's Awakening's Link and AoL's Link and the Link in the original SSB... :)

Link doesn't exactly have much of a personality, what exactly makes his character so great? Is it just the look? The role he plays? If that were the case, I'd certainly have had Sephiroth on my list. Now he has the look, and is such a misunderstood character.. a tragic figure.

You didn't know who each of those characters were? OK, I'll write them out..

Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Series)
Vamp (Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty)
Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid)
Jenova (Final Fantasy VII)
Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)

Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX)

Happy?

They're Silent Hill characters. He's obsessed. Ignore him. I know it's difficult.

My picks:

Auron (FFX)
Ganondorf
Mega Man
Gordon Freeman

Ahh, how could I forget Auron?

Quote:Link doesn't exactly have much of a personality, what exactly makes his character so great? Is it just the look? The role he plays

Well, first of all he's an elf, and everybody knows [or at least should know] that elves are supremely cool. Then, there's the look: the clothes, the sword, the shield, ect. Also, he's the legendary hero! Evil ungulfs the land and he rises up to kick some moster booty! And he rides a horse, sails on a boat, and occasionally sticks on a mask that turns him into one of three creatures. And don't even get me started about how cool he is in Soul Calibur 2!!

Oh and like those Squaresoft characters are so great because of their original brooding personalities, Hudson? Come on now...

Of Hudson's ones, the only one I knew was Snake...

So... how about a complete list of the so-far-nominated. :)



Auron (FFX)
Ganondorf
Mega Man
Gordon Freeman
Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Series)
Vamp (Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty)
Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)
Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid)
Jenova (Final Fantasy VII)
Aeris Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)
Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX)
Harry Mason
James Sunderland
Heather Mason
Fei Fong Wong
Grahf
Elly Van Houten
Mario
Luigi
Princess Toadstool
Bowser
Link
Zelda
Ganon
Kirby
The Nameless One
Commander Keen
Kyle Katarn
Jim Raynor

Thrall
Medivh
Zileas

So... who else deserves to be nominated?

Arthas is a good choice. :)
Sonic the Hedgehog
Tails the Fox
Knuckles the Echidna
Erik the Lost Viking
Zero (MMX)

The only problem with these things are that there are so many good candidates...

Which ones? Vincent and Auron maybe. But not really..

Only half of them are. Fool.

The other half are Xenogears :love: :love: :love:

My favorite... that's hard, but its probably either Link or The Nameless One...

Quote:Originally posted by Private Hudson

Cloud, Sephiroth, etc.

Uhh..

I didn't nominate them.

Of course, having a brooding personality (though, there is MUCH more to their characters than just that) is much better than having no character at all..

But it is.

The Nameless One's the best, if you're going by story and character depth, anyway...
