Dracula needs to make a comeback next contest.

I've been suggesting something similar. We need to have more characters that originated in other media. Geralt proved that they're viable.

Certain characters would certainly be viable, though Geralt is poor example of that.

Nobody knows him from the novels. He gets all his strength from his games.

Oh, I agree completely, but he's still set the precedent for a character that wasn't video-game first doing well. I suggested earlier that we use "successful games", which is to say, something we've put into a Games Contest, to determine which non-video game characters are allowed in before opening it up completely. So any Disney character to be in KH or KH2; the Marvel half of MvC2; The Simpsons; Batman and whichever of his villains were in Arkham Asylum or Arkham City... probably some others I can't think of right now. Do KotOR or Battlefront have any characters originating in the movies or even the books?

While its an interesting idea, I do not like it. Way too many of the most powerful characters would be excluded.

Has Vader been in any contest games? I wouldve had Batman and him as my top two fictionals back in the day. Its not much of a contest if guys like Vader are excluded. I dont know if Yoda, Luke, Han have been in any contest games either.

I dont think any LOTR game has been in a contest either. Has Superman?

Not to mention the nomination process would require actual thought from users LOL. Doesnt seem very practical.

I would like to see a fictionals contest, though I dont have nearly as much faith in the non-game characters as I did back in the day, when this site wasnt so insular and casuals actually came here.
