Board 8 > So lets say GameFAQs conducts something like Anime Character Battle....

(+) Yeah! (+)

So who are the few jap anime characters do you think would dominate on GameFAQs? I think these characters would perform well.....
1. L (Death Note)
2. Goku (DBZ) Maybe Vegeta?
3. Lelouch (Code Geass)
4. Some Naruto/Bleach/One Piece character?

What do you think???

None of them would break 20 on Link.

I was under the impression the term "jap" was derogatory. I guess not?

I was told it's a racial slur after I made the same mistake! And thus this topic will probably be deleted.

JPN is the correct abbreviation, for future reference.

I don't know how many people would actually be offended (probably none).

And by "all the people" I was basically referring to the fact that this topic was on the first page too at the same time.

Goku would be the single strongest Anime character but he'd be mid carder at best.

HOWEVER. If we have Goku/Vegeta Rivalry...they would DEstroy Worlds. Wouldn't give Link a chance in that Match up. Would be a 90.00% Victory for Vegeto.

Link wins.

New Contest, New Guru Challenge!

The word jap is offensive if used as a shortening of the noun, but not as a shortening of the adjective. So this topic is fine.

As according to the new ToU.

These days whenever I see the word Jap, I think of the Sengoku Basara OP, since that was the name of the song used:


So maybe even some Japanese themselves aren't offended by it.

That said, anime is something that seems to be pretty niche on GameFAQs, so only really mainstream stuff would do decent.

But a vast majority of people on this site have seen something if you look at this poll:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4319

Whether or not it'd become some kind of DBZ vs. Naruto vs. Pokemon contest is another thing.

Well, considering that they probably aren't as familiar with the connotation with Japanese Americans, they probably don't think of it that way if they actually live in Japan.
