Fullbuster Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 20 minutes ago, chasmmi said: A) You have no need to get close to 100 characters if you wish. Top 20 or even 10 is more than fine. B ) Even taking just the Mario franchise I could name about 20 arguably iconic characters in gaming: Mario Luigi Toad Yoshi Bowser Wario Waluigi Lakushu (the cloud guy) Koopa Trooper King Boo Chomper Bob-Omb Peach Bullet Bill Toadette Donkey Kong (via Kart) Rosalina Boom Boom Wart Obviously I wouldn't put them all in a top 100, but if we can make 100 games, we can collectively list 100 characters OK, a top 10 then 1- Link 2- Mario 3- Pikachu 4- Luigi 5- Samus Aran 6- Ganondorf 7- Bowser 8- Sonic 9- Dr Eggman 10- Cloud Strife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeldelmito Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 2 hours ago, chasmmi said: As simple as the title suggests. Just send me your lists of the best game characters of all time. (console, handheld, PC< Cellphone all are valid) Lists can be any length from 10 up to 487. Eligible Characters include: - Playable Characters - NPCs - Enemies - Bosses - Pretty much anything except custom made characters and sports players in sports sims. - No need to pick particular games, a character cannot be listed twice unless there is a clear massive difference in character to the point they are essentially something different (say like Arcade Donkey Kong Mario and then Mario Mario (and possibly Baby Mario?) Overall, my feeling is that if 47 people vote for Cranky Kong, then that is vindication enough for his inclusion. If a list is not ordered from 1st to whatever, an average score will be given to everyone on the list based on the size of the list. Bitch !!!! Bet. I'll have my list in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
