The Role Playing Game Tourney 2k4 (Hero Edition)

[Lightning Flik 0]

Well folks. Since we've got a Fighting Tourney, I figured it was only fair to at least do one up of probably one of the most popular genres here, Role Playing Games. Now then, it is standard elimination, vote for you want to stay and battle in the next round.

 

I will have the list of who is all entering into this contest up in a bit. Damn computer for some reason posted this before I was ready too.

 

My freaking apologizes. Gr... Stupid pewter of mine.

If fucking Cloud from FF7 wins this, I'll be very pissed. In fact, I hope that ass ain't even in it....

 

EDIT: HAHAH! Beaten, sort of....

Flik put Arche from ToP in there.

Flik put Arche from ToP in there.

Just making sure I get all the characters you start out with first, before adding side characters that are Heroes.

 

Still though, do you guys wish for me to add in people like Arche from ToP? The Magical Wife, Selan from Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals?

 

I'm just asking because I'd like to know. I originally was just playing the "main" characters, but since you people seem to want those others, I'm ok with that too.

Nominees:

 

Crono from Chrono Trigger (he's kinda like Cloud, except he's not a whiny little bitch)

 

Alys from Phantasy Star IV

 

Alex from Lunar

Crono from Chrono Trigger (he's kinda like Cloud, except he's not a whiny little bitch)

The fact that he's a mute helps

[Lightning Flik 0]

Thanks for the reminder of Lunar, somehow, I missed it completely and almost had NO ONE from it.

 

Thankfully, it has now taken up 4 more places on my road to 128 Heros (I feel like I'm playing Suikoden, except trying to get 20 more "Stars")

 

Almost there. I'll be posting up the voting thread soon. I'll give you the list in here though, of who's in, so you can judge and see.

Yes, some games may be missing a nomination. If you have a suggestion for them, please do so now. Any nomination for another game that I may have miss will take over a "secondary pic" for another game. You'll have till Friday at Midnight to add any hero I might've missed.

 

Any hero whom you can have their name created with no backup, is disqualified from entry. The except to this, was Suikoden 1 and 2, because I frankly can't bank on the third game (which has three "heroes", plus The Flame Hero), so I decide to add them. The names that are listed for them, I believe are their Manga names.

 

Some characters were listed for their Series rather than a selected game. This was mainly because of Breath of Fire, since I could've in fact had literially 5 Ryus and 5 Ninas alone. So I just clumped them altogher. If you believe that should be so, once again, you have till Friday Midnight to change my mind.

 

Also Please Note: This list of 128 Characters is NOT how everyone will end up. It is just me adding to the list to make up a list of 128. I also believe I've got 128, I might be wrong on that, so please feel free to correct me.

 

The First Round will commence this Saturday. You'll have one week to pick from the face offs of whom you wish to be your RPG Champion.

Castlevania characters count in a RPG tourney?

 

Alucard ALL the way.

If Link can get his ass in (becuase I KNOW people will bitch about Link if he isn't in), then Castlevania gets a nod to be in this competition.

I'd also like to nominate Ren from Shenmue 2.

 

Man I've posted quite alot in this thread.

I'm going to go with Bowie, myself. SEGA~!

Citan Uzuki should be in there for Xenogears.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Citan Uzuki? Who would you like him to replace?

 

Note: All character changes, must not be the main character of a video game. Hence, you can't take out Terra from Final Fantasy 6. It must be the extras whom you wish to take out.

[Guest Coffey]

Damn. Well apparently I won't be able to participate in this because I don't know half of those dudes. Here I thought I was a decent RPG player too.

Red XIII. He wasn't very important at all and you already have loads of guys from FFVII.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Just vote for whom you'd think you'd prefer...

 

Yes, I don't really care at the start. And trust me, since I've begun setting up the brackets via drawing names out of a hat (and that is setting up some interesting first round match ups), you will probably only be voting your favorites anyways.

 

And Red XIII you say Kahran? Ok. Nice choice btw (you'll understand, since I've already drawn up who Red XIII was going to face).

 

As I said, so far, I've got a lot of interesting match ups happening while I continue to draw.

 

And whoever wanted Alucard to win, you better pray that his opponent isn't as liked as I think that person is. There's not a lot of squashes that this First Round will have. If anything, a lot of the First Round will be hard fought.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Change of plans, you've got till Midnight tonight to decide on whom you wish to have in the tourney in place of another. Just because I've got the tourney all set up and it is looking too good to wait it out.

 

Just for some interesting info:

 

~ Only 3 First Round Matches have the same series facing off against each other. All 3 are from Final Fantasy and Spinoffs.

 

~ 1 First Round Match has two characters facing off against each other from the same game.

 

~ 1 First Round Match has one of the most popular "sidekick" main characters of a game against the main character of a game.

 

~ 7 First Round Matches have Heroine vs. Heroine.

 

~ 22 First Round Matches have Hero vs. Heroine.

 

~ 35 First Round Matches have Hero vs. Hero.

 

~ There are 92 Heroes to 36 Heroines.

 

~ There were 16 Possibilities For Same Series Matchups that were missed by a single pick.

 

~ Biggest First Round Winner -> Citan Uzuki - Xenogears

 

~ Total Possible Squash In First Round -> 18

 

~ Total Possible Close Calls -> 36

 

~ Easy To Call Matches -> 28

 

~ How Many Heroines Will Make Second Round For Sure -> 7

 

~ How Many Heroines Might Make Second Round -> 29

 

~ How Many True Game Heroes Will Win First Round -> 39

(True Game Heroes Are The Heroes You Start With)

 

~ How Many True Game Heroines Might Win First Round -> 8

(True Game Heroines Are The Heroines You Start With)

 

~ Odds On Favorite To Go The Farthest With Ease -> Cloud

Actually, I don't really want to give much away, but Terra will not be winning. At least not winning easily, I should say.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Just A Reminder:

 

Any Changes In This Tourney, Do So Now. I Will Be Posting First Round As Soon As 12am MST Hits.

[Jer 0]

I doubt Cloud will win here, this isn't GameFaqs after all, and most people here seem to think his character is whiny and annoying.

 

He's alright, but I won't vote for him over anyone with a decent personality.

[Lightning Flik 0]

You never know Jer. You never know. Besides, I say Cloud has the easiest ride in the tourney because his strongest opponents don't really show up for quite sometime (unless someone surprises me).

 

REPEAT ANNOUNCMENT: ANY CHANGES IN THE TOURNEY MUST BE MADE NOW~! FIRST ROUND TO BE UP AT 12AM MST (ABOUT 3.5 HOURS FROM NOW)~!

 

ANY CHANGES WILL ONLY BE MADE TO THIS ROSTER, AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T A MAIN CHARACTER!

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS THE HERO EDITION! VILLAINS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN TOURNEY!

Fei Fong Wong - Xenogears

 

C'mon, he has the ultimate bad ass alter ego (Id), and who else can claim the title "Slayer of God" ?
