Who the **** is Zack Fair?

He's from Final Fantasy VII, thus earning him a spot in the finals by default.

I can't wait until they put a Megaman game on the wii, or even Protoman in SmashBros. Indeed, go Megamanz.

He was, like...Cloud's best friend. And when he died Cloud claimed to have lived his life?

...

It's...confusing.

What's the point of these competitions, again?

For fun, I suppose.  It's not like it proves anything definitive.

And how, again, do characters win?
How are they selected?
I hate these things >.<

Other than the characters' popularity and respect among the fans, I reckon.

People go to GameFAQs and vote.  There should be a poll on the home page.

Geez, I never would have guessed that Mewtwo would be more popular than Squall Leonhart or Sora.

Are you freaking kidding me!? DX

Don't get me wrong, Mewtwo is freaking sweet and all, but...dang. Still, then again, we never would've thought that the Tetris block would win over Link last year, either.

And the final battle in the quarterfinals goes as such.   I think I'll probably be able to call today's match as well, so this wraps this up.

They could have chosen a more recent picture for sonic >.>
They did it for Kirby and Sephy.

Post by: DW on November 12, 2008, 03:15:08 PM
Between Sephiroth and Sonic, I believe. Both have an incredibly fanbase of squealing fangirls with some boys mixed in there.

All the pictures I've been posting of the finalists are just stuff I've found on Photobucket.

That's not the pictures they're using for the contest. 

Anyways, tomorrow starts the first quarterfinal match between:

Link
Zach
Mario
Mega Man X
Title: Re: GameFAQs Character Battle: Finalists.
Post by: darkphantomime on November 12, 2008, 07:28:26 PM
Prediction: Link and Mario take over X and Zack.

Also, I counted all the Square-enix characters on that list and I came up with like 17... It seems to be heavily favored to Final Fantasy VII, with Chrono Trigger having but 3, and FF IX having but two.

Post by: Gamefreak on November 12, 2008, 07:29:55 PM
That's the thing I dislike about these contests.  It's always ubers like Link, Mario, Cloud, and Sephiroth taking top spots.

So predictable.

Anyone but Mario. Mario must DIE!

Final Fantasy VII is so lopsided... that's why i said Mario rather than Zack.

Mario dares bring mushrooms to my lair??? Mario MUST DIE! (Boom boom)
