Pumpkin's Character Tournament!

Monica and Kleito.

For the past 4 or 5 matchups I've voted the opposite of the person before me. I promise, I'm not trying to be contrarian.

Max & Kleito

Monica and Daphnis. Yay for ties.

Monica - Because of Time Traveler bonus points.

Kleito - Because of Dragon bonus points.

Monica and Daphnis.

Alrighty we have a tie if anyone wants to be a tie breaker within the next little while. In the meantime, here are our next two rounds:

bracket one, from Final Fantasy XII

Okay this is a FF forum so I'm assuming most of you are familiar with these characters. They are sky pirates who run in to Vaan and try to steal the thing he is stealing, eventually get caught up in a whole thing with Princess Ashe, and Balthier takes a pretty central story role while Fran serves more as his backup. Also the camera focuses on Fran's butt. Like, a lot. And a lot of people find Balthier sexy. This is a sexy duo, is what I'm saying.

Bracket two we have from Suikoden III

The Tensui Star, also known as the Star of Intelligence, Iku takes care of the Mantors, which are giant flying bug things used for riding, and she studied to become a nurse and acts as a nurse for the Mantors. he lives in Le Buque, a place that was conquered by a much more powerful place, and since then they have been considered and treated as third-class citizens and subhuman. Her boyfriend, Franz, is thought of as a suck-up and a sell-out because he has conformed to the ways of their conquerors in the hopes of becoming first class citizens. Iku is a peaceful person and she cares deeply about everyone, including Franz, even if they have conflicting ideas sometimes. She helps the party at one point in the story and is possible to recruit to the army, although she is missable and does not take part in battles.

Yumi is a warrior from Alma Kinan, a village entirely of women. She has the ability to speak with Spirits and is a very close friend of Yun, the shaman and important lady of the village. She helps the party at certain points and automatically joins in the war effort later in the game. She also serves as kind of the diplomat to the more hot headed friend of hers, and she's known to be very kind as well as popular with the gentelman. She's an archer with an Earth Rune, which is support magic mostly. She is the Tenyu Star, also known as the Guardian Star

48 hours to vote~

Balthier all the way!

Balthier and Yumi. Normally I'd vote for the lady, because I find that I connect with female characters a lot better, but come on... It's Balthier. Do you know ANYONE else in the world, fictional or non, who could pull of a pair of metal boots, tight black leather pants, a white turtle neck, and a black and gold vest and look DAMN GOOD doing it?

Balthier and Yumi.

Balthier and Iku.

Balthier, because BALTHIER.

Yumi, because I think archers are sometimes under-appreciated in video games. I'm aware of the irony that Fran is carrying a bow in her picture.

I'll go ahead and close out the last round

From our Dark Cloud Bracket, the winner of Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle is Monica with a vote of 4-2

I'll give poor Fran some love. I like both characters, but I agree that Fran's little comments are funnier because she's typically so much quieter.

I like the Alma Kinan village, but the Mantors are also pretty cool. I guess I'll pick Iku for taming some giant bugs.

Fran and Yumi.

Fran is criminally underrated. Criminally.
