Board 8 > The Noble Nine would consist of _____ if only the female's votes counted?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well?

I'm thinking, hmmm.... Mario, Link, Yoshi, Pikachu, Sonic, ,Samus....? Maybe Squall because he's supposedly hot? But if Squall makes the list, then surely Cloud would be as well? Help me out here.

1. Squall
2-9. Who cares
---

---

Mario, Pikachu, Sonic, Peach, Squall, Samus, Joanna Dark, Yoshi, Tom Nook

Dark horse pick: Cate Archer
---

I think someone from Animal Crossing could be a N9er.
---

Riku
---

Sora, Riku, Cloud, Sephiroth, Squall, Link, Mario, Pikachu, Dante

Is Samus even popular with females?
---

Ah yes, Sora would be a definite. Maybe Riku too.
---

Snake seems like he would be popular with the ladies, maybe Raiden as well?
---

Yeah, Snake would fit that.

I like how we're basing this all on "attractive males" and well-known icons.
---

Probably exactly the same, especially in 2002.
---

I'd think Lara Croft would do better.
---

it would probably consist of cutesy mascot characters too
---

Pikachu would be strong too, almost every girl I know love him
---

The LAW holds here don't kid yourselves
---

Gotta agree with Ulti that very little, if anything, would change. Maybe Pikachu slides in, maybe Squall. Female gamers aren't that different from males.
---

Kirby would be stronger than Link.

I'd bet my bracket you're right.

Not a chance. FWIW Link/LoZ fandom actually leans more toward females than males.
---

Not sure if the females know how to use the internet
---

Female gamers taste is not much different from males. At the end of the day, we are all gamers, and taste differ between individuals, not genders.
---

Definitely a long-shot on FemShep. If that was the only default and the game was five years older, then it'd be a decent possibility.
---

You're underselling Sephiroth here immensely. Every FF fangirl loves Sephiroth.

Yeah, this. Some people seem to be thinking that the thought experiment is replacing the (mostly) male vote on this site with a female vote pulled from random women on the street, but you'd also major changes if you used a random men on the street, too.

There are definitely some potential changes but I don't think they'd be big. (Pikachu and Squall are both good guesses because they're already strong anyway.)
---

Agree that there wouldn't be much change other than Squall maybe making it in.
---

Mario
Pikachu
Sonic
Solid Snake
Squall
Cloud
Sephiroth
Squirtle
Mega Man

Zelda probably makes the list over Crono. Yoshi and Kirby could make some moves too.

Not sure much else changes.
---

Probably:

-Mario
-Zelda
-Link
-Sora
-Pikachu
-Cloud
-Mega Man
-Charizard
-Samus

Honestly, Sonic, Snake, and Sephiroth probably still make it the Terrific Twelve.
