| Topic | Most Influential Character in Gaming (Mock bracket reveal + Predictions) |
| half_silver28 02/28/19 7:00:33 PM #7: | As many of you figured out, the first match of Group 1 is: (1)Mario vs (16) Darth Revan Starting with Mario is cliche, yes, but there's nowhere better to start. Its FREAKING MARIO. He is one of the most well-known characters from any form of media worldwide. The success of Super Mario Bros arguably saved the gaming industry back in the 80s, after having already starred in Donkey Kong which was another one of the most important games of all time. Hundreds of games later and the big M has yet to slow down to this day. To be honest I am not very familiar with KOTOR or Star Wars games in general. But Revan emerged as the most notable protagonist created for a Star Wars game. He has some popularity among SW fans in general, but the primary reason he makes the bracket is how his story is presented in KOTOR. Players can choose to guide him to the light or dark side, and the choices they make actually matter. Many games have tried and failed to make this work well, but KOTOR pulls it off. He is a strong lead for that game and for the other games he appears in. The end of his first game also has one of the iconic plot twists in gaming, regarding his past. He is hardly a household name but his impact on gaming can't be denied. However, this won't be much of a match. Revan will be lucky to get 20% on Mr Video Game himself, with a few of those percentages being Mario anti-votes. After this round, I will start listing 2 matches every day to make this topic move more quickly. Without further delay, the second match of Group 1 is: (8)Konami vs (9)Blizzard --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA ... Copied to Clipboard! |
