half_silver28 04/12/19 7:54:48 PM #90:	The first match of Group 7 is (1)Pikachu vs (16)Arthas Menethil Pikachu is bar none the most popular Pokemon in the series, and a well-recognized mascot of gaming and Japanese culture in general. Even non-gamers know Pikachu. The electric mouse takes a lead role in many Pokemon games and media, including the anime and the upcoming Detective Pikachu movie. Pika's cute design and standout color scheme make it appear to fans of all demographics. And it evolves into Raichu for those who think Pika is too cute. It was the most prominent electric mon of gen 1, and presented a choice to the player in Pokemon Red and Blue. Do you evolve Pikachu for more power, or do you push through to teach it better moves? It also put focus on the Pokeball mechanic, due to Ash's Pikachu not wanting to go into one. The fact that said Pikachu was referred to as "special" also made it stand out. The Pika in Pokemon Yellow highlighted the trading mechanic, as it would be holding a Light Ball when traded to gen 2 games. Arthas is one of the most popular characters from Warcraft, and the most praised as well. He first appeared in Warcraft 3 as a young paladian determined to protect his kingdom. In classic Shakespearian fashion, Arthas loses his way as he becomes increasingly rash in his tactics against the Scrouge. Once he takes up a cursed runeblade his fate is sealed. He loses his soul and becomes the infamous Lich King. Later he appears in World of Warcraft as a raid boss and is defeated. Arthas is one of the iconic tragic characters of gaming; one who tries to justify his terrible actions as the right decisions. He was corrupted into a cruel and effective undead villain, and ironically ended up warring with groups just as brutal as him. Pikachu was very strong in 2018 and competitive with Noble Nine characters. Arthas hasn't been relevant for quite a while either. 73% win for Pikachu. The second match of Group 7 is (8)Nathan Drake vs (9)Revolver Ocelot Nathan Drake's influence lies in the fact that he's, well, a normalss dude. Many generic white male protagonists come and go, yet Drake remains relevant and is popular enough to be a de facto mascot for the Playstation. One reason is his attractiveness. . . the second is his personality. He is a witty charmer with attitude, who finds his way out of life-threatening situations with a smile and a quip. He is the casual Indiana Jones, and referred to as the male Lara Croft due to his countless adventures in far locales. Drake is a daredevil of sorts but not overly masculine, appealing to all types of gamers and making him a character everyone wants to be. Sadistic villain, unhinged anti-hero and casual turncoat: Revolver Ocelot is all of these and more. His first appearance in Metal Gear Solid is notable for his iconic boss battle - where he uses a simple Colt revolver instead of more modern weapons. He plays several sides in that game, and he is a triple agent for even more organizations in other games. Even as a young man in prequels. Ocelot emerges as the main antagonist in the MGS series, with ties to both Liquid Snake and Big Boss. He is a fan favorite for his eccentric behavior and casual violence - the latter being on display in the popular scene where he tortures Solid Snake. His stylized design as an old west gunslinger also helps make him iconic. He is probably one of the most fun villains in gaming. Drake isn't terribly weak in contests, but Gfaqs has a general apathy for his series. Going by 2018 results, Ocelot seems just a bit stronger. 52% win for Ocelot. The third and fourth matches of Group 7 are (5)Midway Games vs (12)Valve and (4)Square vs (13)IO Interactive --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA <cite>half_silver28 posted [p:920414168] in Most Influ...
