Topic	Most Influential Character in Gaming (Mock bracket reveal + Predictions)

And here's part 2, about specific seeding changes I would recommend: - Swapping DK and Mega Man: To me, his influence is akin to the likes of Pac-Man and Lara Croft rather than the likes of Snake, Samus, and Sonic - Swapping Gordon and Crono - Swapping Tracer and Joker - Increasing Arthas, Ryu, and Slime - Decreasing Cammy, GLaDOS, Guile, Mileena, Morrigan, Terry, and Zelda - Further decreasing Alucard and Zero I'm still working on the bracket, but I will go ahead and address these suggestions. I do not agree with swapping Megaman and DK. DK has the OG Donkey Kong where he is a defining villain, and perhaps the first popular antagonist in gaming. However there is no comparing the influence of the Megaman series to the rest of DK's games. MM easily is more influential and prominent. I think Mega edges him out for a 1 seed slot. I don't know if I will directly swap Joker and Tracer, but I will move her up and Joker down at least. I will move Arthas up and likely will move up Slime as well. Ryu I'm just unsure of who I could possibly move down from the 2 to 3 seed line. Maybe Zelda, but it will feel odd to have her below Ganondorf. Maybe I move down both and put Master Chief to 2? The 2 and 3 lines are very close together to me. Out of all the characters you suggested to move down here, the only one I'm hesitant on is Zelda. I feel that her connection with Link and Ganondorf through the Triforce sets her apart from most damsel characters of the NES era of gaming. And she is the series namesake as well. I will still consider swapping her with Peach - she still came before Zelda. I could think about moving Sephiroth down to the 3 line too. Also I think I will have to go ahead and cut Travis Touchdown - I don't think he passes the Ammy test and there are quite a few characters who deserve a slot ahead of him. I am not quite ready to cut Strider as you suggested earlier, but I will probably move him down. His OG game is pretty influential, and as a defining "cool" character, he outdates Dante and Captain Falcon. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA <cite>half_silver28 posted [p:921470512] in Most Influ...
