It just seems pointless to me. It is pointless. I mean, what's to get excited about? At least with our character discussions we actually have discussions and talk about each characters merits & abilities. I guess they have a forum there for their polls...but the main thing is people that spam other forums with, "Hey! Go vote for whoever at the oh so important GameFAQs poll!". It bugs me.

What really bugs me about this year's character battle is the fact that various blocks and cubes keep appearing. I might be old fashioned, but I just don't see where these inanimate objects have any "character."

I don't think Crono will beat Samus, and if he does he sure as hell won't beat Link or Mario. I can't take this seriously anyway. A fucking sandbag and Sonic beat Magus. Sonic hasn't been cool since '96.

Really? I've heard that the Sonic Rush series was actually a nice throwback to the hedgehog's roots...

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not excited. That'll only happen if God comes down and blesses Crono and somehow allows him to actually win.

As for Samus, it's possible. Crono was damned close to Samus last round only thing I believe holding him back was Vincent. Mario, oh yeah, Crono stands a chance. For some reason(I think it may even be on purpose)the two always wind up in these battles and although Mario's won more, whenever Crono has a game come out he manages to scare off the plumber. Link, once again, miracles, yada yada.

Sonic, that is insulting...

Lastly, it's made for fun, and they already state that every year. I don't think it's a good gaming community topic though for this sort of reason. People taking it seriously, whether it is out of reasons like Zeality's, V_Translanka's, Delta Dragon, whoever! This is a community of hardcore gamers, and so we are bound to take this to an extreme(whether you admit it or not I_I), while as people who know squat about games see it as popularity, and there is the smallest number of people, the people who know what it's about. I don't know what it is that makes it such a touchy subject, and I don't think I care to know.

Absolutely 100% agreed. *hi5*

Yeah, it's actually pretty damn great and very stylish.

They were good, a lot better than all the new stupid 3D ones, but it still didn't nearly match up to the classics.

Yeah, but you have to admit his popularity isn't what it once was. I was mainly talking about the fucking Sandbag, a Sandbag really?

Currently, Crono is making Samus and Mario look like chumps and is giving Link quite the fight. I'm in an extremely happy mood for so many reasons I can't count and this surpringing deed is just another reason.  :mrgreen:

I don't think it was deleted, and even so there were already two other threads about it. Plus now with CTDS it may or may not(most likely not) have an effect on the Chrono community.

I don't like the whole splitting the fan base in some of these votes. Like when Zero went up against Megaman, and now Cloud and Sephiroth. If they do some how make it then it's gonna split the rpg fan votes horribly if its Link, Cloud, Crono, Sephiroth.

Well, it looks like it'll be Cloud and Snake but from what you are saying it sounds like Snake and Kirby would be best...

Kirby and Snake would be nice, but I think it's gonna be Cloud and Snake unless Kirby suddenly has a major comeback.

Yeah, that's obvious, however Snake is actually beating Cloud. Perhaps the almighty characters after losing last year are starting to weaken? Samus beating Sephiroth, Snake beating Cloud, Crono beating Samus AND Mario. Because of these one thing is for sure, if either Sephiroth or Kirby somehow make it Crono's practically got it in the bag. Snake is a bit of a threat and Link is the truest challenge of all.

They really should eliminate past winners so that it's not the same people every single year. If they'd do that, Crono would've won at least one by now!
