So, since I return to living at a location with a computer next week, I can be a regular on Psypoke again. To celebrate, I was thinking of doing a ranking thread (they're all the rage these days it seems). The ranking subject? Any video game character. Any. Allow me to explain.

To make it more interesting, I would like any and all users interested to post up to 10 video game characters. The characters can be from any game from any console (I would prefer NES era onward... Atari era doesn't have many "characters", lol). They can be your favorites, unique ones, or even ones you just want to hear me blab about. I play a lot of video games, so I'd love have a varied selection to talk about.

I would also prefer to shy away from many of the Nintendo characters already covered by Frost's Super Smash Bros ranking thread, moreso for originality. If you really want I'll rant about how big of a Mario fanboy I am. But I'd rather not for the sake of this thread.

I don't know how much interest this will generate, but I got myself pumped up to do it, so I want to see where this goes. If there's enough characters suggested I can start later this week.


EDIT: Frost had a good idea with his post. Include the game the character is from in your post. Many characters don't need it, but if you just said "Joe", I wouldn't know if you were talking about Joes from King of Fighters, Kirby Superstar, Viewtiful Joe, etc. So please include game too. :3


TL;DR Version: Name off TEN video game characters you want me to rate.

Blaziken (Pokemon)
Pit (Kid Icarus)
Naruto (Naruto)
Winona (Pokemon)
Roxas (Kingdom Hearts)
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)
Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog games)
Yoshi (Mario games)
Fox McCloud (StarFox)
General Scales (StarFox Adventures)

Starkiller/Galen Marek (Force Unleashed)
General Rahm Kota (Force Unleashed)
Professor Layton (DS puzzle series, named, Professor Layton)
Shadow Queen (Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door)
Nomad (Crysis)
Delta (BioShock 2)
Altair (Assassin's Creed)
Ezio (Assassin's Creed 2)
Arbiter (Halo 2 and 3)
Blue (Pokemon)

Yaaaaay 4 replies already!

Some really good characters being suggested already, keep 'em coming!

I noticed torchie suggested Blaziken already, but I want to mention that I'd like to have as little Pokemon as possible (regular people in Pokemon are A-OK), since they're really only "characters" in the anime for the most part. I'll allow Blaziken since I didn't mention this until now.

Also, make sure you look through other people's character lists to avoid posting the same character twice. Not a huge deal, just makes it go quicker.

My bad. Instead of Blaziken, I say:
Link (Legend of Zelda games)

Niko Bellic (Grand Theft Auto 4)
Big Smoke (Grand Theft Auto San Andreas)
Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy 7)
Zidane Tribal (Final Fantasy 9)
Vivi Orunitia (Final Fantasy 9)
Tidus (Final Fantasy 10)
Auron (Final Fantasy 10)
Chrono (Chrono Trigger)
Magus (Chrono Trigger)
Pokey Minch / Porky (Earthbound)

I'm guessing you are very fond of Final Fantasy.
The only reason why I put (... games) is because either I
1. Forgot the exact game,
and/or
2. The characters appeared in more than one game in the series.

Well, I know Regi likes Final Fantasy too, and I remember him playing GTA4 at one point. Also, someone put down Sephiroth so I added Cloud there too, as well as Ness's villian to group up and compare. I'm mostly looking forward to the FFIX characters cause they're my faves :3 and yay, Regi has internet again!

Edit; Don't know what I was thinking adding Big Smoke. Thought it'd be funny.

I very much look forward to ranking all those Final Fantasy characters, Crunchy. I can tell you now that they won't be all bunched up in the same post... or will they???

And if you'd rather I rate Link, that's fine by me torchie. Would you prefer me to rate a specific Link, or just rate Link in general?

I finally remembered the game I wanted Link to be rated as: Phantom Hourglass.

Mmmmk, since Phantom Hourglass is a direct sequel to Wind Waker, I'll cover his actions from both of those games then.

Awesome, we're at 50 characters already. Ideally I would like 100, maybe a bit more. This is an extravaganza, after all.

Okie dokie! I liked Wind Waker too, so both would be awesome.

Shu (Blue Dragon)
Jorge (Halo: Reach)
Theresa (Fable)
Theresa (Fable II)
Dr. Fetus (Super Meat Boy)
Meat Boy (Super Meat Boy)

I think that's all... As for why I put Theresa twice, I think that she's a radically different character between the two Fables. You could always put both ratings in the same... thingy.

Actually, since nobody really cares about BS. Replace him with Conker the Squirrel, from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Well, i only post some to make it 60, and because i couldn't think of something else.
-Steven (Pokemon RSE)
-Wally (Pokemon RSE)
-Aaroniero Aruruurie (Bleach: Heat The Soul 6)
-Hollow Ichigo (Bleach :Heat The Soul 6)
And i guess that's all that i could think.

Aeris (FF7)
Beatrix (FF9)
Basch (FF12)
Sazh (FF13)
Bullet Bill (Various Mario Bros. games)
Boo (Various Mario Bros. games)

Jesus
Allah
Shiva
Buddha
YHWH

Giegue/Giygas (Mother/Earthbond)
Majora/Majora's Mask/Incarnation/Wrath (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Gomess (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)
Abstract Daddy (Silent Hill 2)

I picked some scary/creepy videogame bosses because most of them have some intricate symbolism/backstory behind their creation, and I'd like to read your input on those aspects (if you're willing to consider all the speculation surrounding them).

I ain't got ten, I'm afraid... In bold are my favorites.

This should be fun.....

Kid Chameleon (Kid Chameleon)
Cynthia (pokemon DPP)
Megaman (megaman battle network series)
Megaman Zero (megaman zero series)
Bismark (Sid meiers Civilization IV)
Catherine (Sid meiers Civilization IV)
Gandi (Sid Meiers Civilization IV)
Ivanna Dostya (Supreme Commander)
Rhianne Burke (Supreme Commander)
Kiri (Dungeon Fighter Online)

Kirby-Kirby games, duh
Link-The legend of Zelda games
Zelda/Sheik/Tetra-The legend of Zelda games
Ganon/Ganondorf-The legend of Zelda games
Skull Kid-The legend of Zelda games
Celia-the legend of Zelda and the phantom hourglass
Red- seemed like an obvious choice, pokemon
That's ten in all.

That's alright, you suggested some really awesome characters that I was totally not expecting anyone to request.


Alright, this seems like a good point to cut off the suggestions. I'll start ranking them right away, and I will make a new thread dedicated to the ranking once I'm ready. I'll bet you all can't wait to see where your suggested characters end up being!
