WTF is wrong with these people?

EDIT: Fixed the link. My bad people.

Who the hell is Gordon Freeman? Who even cares?

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

yes, it is strange that pretty-boy Leon (Resident Evil 4) would win out over the man of science Freeman (Half-Life); however the point is moot, since he would have lost to Mega Man anyway.

[Major Blood]

Cuz i am the Alpha dork, i care. And Gordon Freeman is the guy who kicks all that ass in Half-Life and Half-Life 2.

[PyrosNine]

Gordon freeman would so kick leon kennedy's punk ass. I could kick Leon's punk ass.

Gordon freeman's killed an evil alien god. Leon's killed insects compared to what Gordon's faced, and Gordon's enemies were much smarter and numerous. All leon had to do repeatedly was stand still and fire away.

Probably had something to do with Resident Evil being more well known.

Gamefaqs has a lot of fanboys and a lot of those character battles are lopsided when they should be a lot closer.

...Probably had something to do with Resident Evil being more well known.Maybe. Leon does have that snazzy jacket, though. Wardrobe selection counts for a lot.

Resident Evil's more well-known than Half-Life? Since when?

And while it's true that Freeman took out worse things than Leon, he also had better weapons and people to support him. As to who would win in a straight fight, I dunno.

Edit: Oh man. This is going to turn into a versus thread, isn't it? Eep.

[Veritas]

You think Gordon Freeman lossing to Leon is bad? Go back and look at the devil bracket. Look at who Magus (ala Chrono Trigger) lost to. Knuckles the Freakin' Echidna.

Probable. And if it is, it will not be for long, if you get my drift.

yes, because a battle between two fictional characters from fictional worlds should involve as much logic as possible.

[Sesshoumaru]

Magus lost to Knuckles? Well thats just messed up. Let us speak no more of this site and their strange selections.

[Lockeownzj00]

GameFAQs is notoriously bad with the polls. The incredibly no-effort cheap fanservice/fanboy characters always win. Shame, really. Cloud will beat anyone, always. Just lame.

It's come to the point where it's terribly easy to win: just choose the more superficial character.

Kos-Mos lost to Luigi?!

Alright, Luigi has the ability to grow bigger when he eats mushrooms, and spit fireballs when he eats flowers, and maybe fly when he has a cape or a racoon suit.

Kos-Mos can shoot A.U. sized laser beams out of any part of her body . . . Has a cannon that if used correctly could implode a sun, and the power to destroy half a galaxy . . .

Why did she lose!?

[Squall Leonhart]

Why did she lose!?Ahem...

This is a popularity contest, and nothing more.Kos-Mos easily kicking Luigi's ass, is not what's being judged, but how well known the characters are. Being that the case, I feel it was only natural for Kos-Mos to fall to the green plumber.

I am, however, shocked with Magus' defeat. And as for Leon? Considering I've never even played Half-Life, my vote just had to go to him.

[Lockeownzj00]

Gah...people not realising that basically all their precious console FPSes wouldn't exist without Half-Life... x_X
