Coolest Video Game Characters-- alphabetically!

[Atma]

Okay you guys, I came up with a rather cool idea today. We'd go through the alphabet, A-Z, and we nominate and vote for video game characters starting with that letter. So for M you could vote Magus, Y Yoshi, and so on. The character for each letter with the most votes win. Each round will last a day or so. You get one vote each round. Be sure to state the character's full name and which game he comes from. You can vote for any character that appears in a game, hero villian or normal enemy. You can either use your vote to nominate a character or vote towards one that has already been nominated. So if L rolls around and you want to vote for Lich, you've got to nominate him first. He won't have any votes, but now people can vote for him. Get it?

HERE WE GO!

Starting with A. Any nominations?

[IHateMakingNames]

Akuma, from Street Fighter.

[Whomper]

Algus, from Final Fantasy Tactics (though he was kind of a jerk >_> )
And for more FF, Adel, from Final Fantasy VIII.

[Talos Soulfire]

Aeris/Aerith from FFVII.
Albedo from Xenosaga.

[froofmyster]

I second Aerith.

[BMHadoken]

Auron.

[Atma]

Just for clarification, each person can only nominate *one* character each round. Be sure to watch out for that in the future.

[Lost in Time]

I'm going with Auron also.

[E-DuB]

Akuma

[IHateMakingNames]

(Quotes are in order of accurance)

Akuma, from Street Fighter.

Auron.

Just for clarification, each person can only nominate *one* character each round. Be sure to watch out for that in the future.

I'm going with Auron also.

Akuma


Pay attention people...

[Radsquire]

Altima Ajora Glabados (Final Fantasy Tactics)

[Kenryoku_Maxis]

Shouldn't we have gone to B after the first A?

If its A still then uh....Aeris. -_-

[h4x.m4g3]

We're voting on the best character with an A name right now
I vote Akuma gotta love a fighting demon who could kick Ryu's ass

[Sithdarth]

I'll concur with Auron. The guy was dead and still manged to stay the course in an entire game, albeit the game wasn't so good.

[Drooling Iguana]

Alis, from the original Phantasy Star.

[Sir Juno]

Agrias (FFT) because holy explosion is your friend.

[CelesJessa]

Aya from Parasite Eve. She's got to be my favorite character who's name starts with an "A".

[Kenryoku_Maxis]

Then if its just A uh....

Ayla (Chrono Trigger)
Aeris
Auron
Athena (King of Fighters/Various SNK games)

Some nomminations. I really couldn't pick one of them though...

[someguy]

Auron, he just inspired power, although the dumb storyline didnt let his power show, but the character model made him look like the all powerful guy, who could take out superman with a bat of an eyelash, has to be auron.

[Melfice]

I also vote for Auron.

Can't lose with a Ronin who uses sake as an attack, can you?

[Atma]

And Auron takes the win!

Auron 5
Akuma 3
Aries 3
Algus
Aya
Ayla
Agrias
Alis
Altima Ajora Glabados

Sorry if I missed any. Bear in mind people, you can only vote for one character each round. For those of you who voted more than one, I just used your first character.

Current results:

A- Auron

Up next is B. Let's hear some nominations.

[Royalspork]

Bond, James Bond

does last name count?

[froofmyster]

Barret

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Bowser
Boc

... gimme a moment, I'll think of another.

Edit: Boris from Yuri's Revenge! How could I forget him?

Edit 2: Black Mage! (where is my head today?)

[Minor Dizaster]

I second Bowser.

[Royalspork]

I second Black mage

[Whomper]

Banon! XD (FF6 guy...)
Beatrix... (FF9)

I can only think of side characters for some reason. :|

[Foamy]

Cloud!!!!!

[IHateMakingNames]

To SAAM and Whomp (And the many others who will do this),

Is it so hard to understand that you can only choose 1 person per letter? Atma has said it at least 3 times already. You can nominate one person, or if the person you want to nominate is already been nominated, you can vote for that person.



bm_girl, Cloud does not start with a B.


I vote for Bowser.

[Foamy]

i thought we would just name our favs in alphabetical order. like how the others were naming names that started with B i went onto the next letter. my bad.

i would have to go with Baby Bowser!

[BMHadoken]

Grr...I'm torn between Barret and Bowser...

Bowser, my first dog was named Bowser (although he was named by my parents who were unaware of the lizardy one...some football player I think...enough rambling, Bowser)

[slightly aboveaverage man]

I just thought it would save space by posting them all together rather than each and every one in separate posts.

[IHateMakingNames]

I just thought it would save space by posting them all together rather than each and every one in separate posts.

But you are only allowed to nominate/vote for one person per letter. Atma is just going to use the first person you listed and ignore the rest.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Very well, but I just wanted to put a few more options in there...

For posterity... or maybe a little prosperity.

*shifty eyes*

[Raiden]

Has to be Barret. I mean, the guy has a gun on his arm. ON HIS ARM!

You can't beat that. No, you can't.

[Atma]

Bond, James Bond

does last name count?

That's a little tough. Since his last name is more well known than his first, it would make sense to use his last name instead. But since that would make a loophole in the grand scheme of things (Like voting for Cloud during S, because of his last name Strife) that'd be a negatory. Your vote goes to BM.

IHMN, thanks for clearing things up. SAAM, since you put Bowser down as your first, that's where your vote is going.

I'd also like to remind people that 8-Bit Theater is not a game. When you vote for BM you're not voting for the Hadoken-happy murder machine in the comic, but the simplistic LIT-2 casting Black Mage of FF1. Or whatever other game he comes from. Just a reminder.

[MP37a]

I vote Barret also.

[CelesJessa]

Hmmm a "B" name... I would have to say "Bowser" too. I always liked Bowser.

[Krylo]

Beatrix. How often do you see a one eyed female knight... especially one who goes from villain to good guy?

[Mr. Viewtiful]

Bowser. He just simply rocks.

[Pretty Mary K]

Bowser was hilarious in Super Mario RPG, so he's cool by me.

[FinnMacCool]

Bowser is a big sissy...My vote goes for Baleog from The Lost Vikings.

[Melfice]

Barret, for the reason already mentioned by Raiden.

[Drooling Iguana]

Bobbin Threadbare.

[Jewzeppe]

bowser all the way man...hes already won this lol...

[Radsquire]

Billy Lee Black (Xenogears)

[Stover]

Boo, from Baldur's Gate 2.

[Lunarshadow]

Bartz from FF5

[E-DuB]

My vote's for Barret

[Atma]

And Bowser goes gold!

Bowser 7
Barret 4
Black Mage
Banon
Baby Bowser
Baleog
Beatrix
Bobbin Threadbare
Billy Lee Black
Bartz
Boo

I'm disaponted with you guys. Not one of you voted for Bass. Tch tch tch....looks like some Megaman is in order.

Current results:

A- Auron
B- Bowser

C is next. Somthing tells me that this'll just turn into a Cloud/Crono war...eh, maybe it's me.

[IHateMakingNames]

I didn't vote for Bass because I don't use his American name, I'm used to his original name, Forte. It sounds better. He's definetly my F vote.

As for C... I'm trying to think of a character I like that isn't Cloud or Crono...

[Sithdarth]

Well I might as well say it. Cloud

[lazy man]

I'll say Celes. I'm not that far in FF3, but people seem to like her.

[Death Dealer]

Cecil, not many characters go from the darkness into the light quite like he did.

[CelesJessa]

Celes! (I mean, look at my screen name, I have to vote for celes)

Celes is awesome. She went against everyone she trusted and knew for what she believes in, even if it cost her life (which it was going to, except Locke saved her) and she's not your "I"m pathetic" heroine.
"I'm a general, not a love-starved twit!"
"I'm a general, not some opera floozy!"

*little spoiler, as if it matters*
And that part where she stabs Kefka rocks.

She was probably a cool villain when she was a general for the empire too.

[Raiden]

Cloud. It just has to be done.

[Minor Dizaster]

Chief. As in Master. Technically, it's not a last name cause Cortana calls him Chief throughout the entire game.

[Fifthfiend]

Crono.

And, furthermore, Crono.

[BMHadoken]

Because I wanna break the RPG mold...Crash.

[MP37a]

To be different I say Count Dracula from any one of his games. Yes count isn't his name it's a title but I don't think he has a last name so there. lol

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Cervantes from Soul Calibur 2. Damn that guy was cool.

[Raiden]

He was cheap, though.

Cloud could take him.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

But the mass ownage... he was wicked-cool. I loved the dual swords element, and the fact that one of them was a soul edge... or something along those lines.

[Mr. Viewtiful]

"I'll burn you to ashes!"

Gotta be Cervantes.

He was cheap, though.
Not really. Any good Soul Calibur player can take down a Cervantes. Go to GameFAQS if you're having problems with him.

But the mass ownage... he was wicked-cool. I loved the dual swords element, and the fact that one of them was a soul edge... or something along those lines.
That, and all the cool (albeit unrealistic) moves he's got.

[IHateMakingNames]

I'll vote for Chief (Master Chief) if he can be used for C.

If not, then Cervantes.

[Drooling Iguana]

Cortez the Red.

And closing for length.
