Battle of the Beards! (Fizzy, frilly, funny, fuzz!)

I was gonna make a poll but thats too easy, and someone would complain that I left someone out, so, over the next three days everyone shall nominate their favorite bearded character, and then a poll will be made :D One nomination per person please!

I nominate Cid, from FFIV.

List of Nominated:

1. Cid, FFIV
   
2. Cid, FFIII
   
3. Tellah, FFIV
   
4. Orlandu, FFT
   
5. Galuf, FFV
   
6. Amarant, FFIX
   
7. Garland, FFIX
   
8. Banon, FFVI
   
9. Barret, FFVII
10. Cid, FFTA.

Also, upon thought nominations will still be taken until round one has ended, but the numbers must be kept even, no round byes so if you nominate someone, he won't be counted until someone else nominates someone to make it equal.

For some reason I feel like doing this differently so I'm bracketing these off into a tournament!

Start your votin'!

Let the voting begin!

I nominate my third favorite bearded character, only because first was take and I know second will get taken too while third won't be touched. So without further ado I nominate...

Cid, FFIII

Tellah, FFIV. :D

Orlandu.

Galuf of FF V.

[strike]Rikku[/strike] Amarant, IX

Galuf, FFV.

Garland, FFIX

Banon FFVI his beard was mighty like a lion

also random thought, if Vincent was in a coffin for 30 years and his hair grew really long why didn't he have a massive disgusting beard? also i notice he did not take a shower, he must have absolutely stunk up the place.

Little known fact about Vincent. He was really a science experiment by Hojo to prevent facial hair growth so that Hojo would never have to shave again. Such a lazy bastard Hojo were.

No Barrett yet!?

He embodies the very spirit of beards!

Heidegger's not my favourite, but his beard is certainly noteworthy.

:edit: Rude's goatee counts as a 'beard' too, unless this poll's based on a narrow definition.

Cid, FFTA.

Oh Reeve, hes a cuttiepie with a beard, thats a rare occurance

Post it, so that we people don't think I've rigged the votes. xD Its not like the Ciddies where voting/not voting for someone could make someone feel bad. xD

EDIT: To make it easy on my, use the setup -Vote:

Well this is quite a toughie then.

On one hand you have the Cid of III who was so tough to ram an airship into a boulder and come out unscathed. On the other hand the Cid of IV jumped out of an airship with enough explosives to move a mountain and survived. Plus he fought and cursed like a sailor. Add in that III's Cid was only in the party for about 3 seconds, I think it's clear who the winner is.

Cid of IV.

Are we voting based on character or beard?

Vote: Either way i go for IV

Yeah, definitely.

-Vote: Cid of FFIV

I'm too late to nominate FFXII Cid?

;_;

He was the coolest Cid IMHO. (Well it's a tie with FFVII Cid)

Its Bearded characters, not Cids xD Anyway, yes your too late, the post specifically said, "3 days to nominate" I think I even gave more then that!

vote: FFIV Cid

A true hero and gentleman.

-Vote: ff4 cid. Although I think I'm really just voting for those crazy teeth. Could you not find an ff4 advance portrait of the guy, though?

Eh, I just felt like going with the classic, also I felt he would win, and would get plenty of chances to show off his portrait.

Also, upon thought nominations will still be taken until round one has ended, but the numbers must be kept even, no round byes so if you nominate someone, he won't be counted until someone else nominates someone to make it equal.

Vote-FFIV Cid

After giving it a great deal of thought, my inability to nominate both Strago and Gestahl bothers me. I guess I'll go with Gestahl since I have to pick one. Someone else will probably say Strago after reading my post anyway.

FFIV Cid, even though his mouth is nightmarish.

I was hoping more people would vote but its Unanimous FFIV Cid wins!

Next round...

Tellah
http://www.videogamesprites.net/Fina...-%20Status.gif

-VS-

Orlandu
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97..._orlandu-2.jpg

Let the voting begin!

Tellah. He's got glasses, and attitude, and a fuzzy trimmed old man beard.

Tellah!

Tellah, for saying the greatest line in FF history.

Tellah. I really cared about his character... And he also has Lennon glasses AND Wolverine wings to go with his beard. That's the ultimate character design, right there.

Tellah. Because ony he could say spoony bard and make it one of the most popular sayings from any FF game ever made.

Tellah, of course. Easy battles so far.

Tellah, because his beard inspires me to have one of my own like it when I too am old and senile.

Tellah.

Oh, I wonder who's won this round?

Tellah, duh.

Tellah!

Tellah. Who else?

Also, why wasn't FuSoYa nominated? I'm hurt.

I'm sad the Dorga 'stache didn't get an honorable mention. :cry:

Nominations are still open until all of the 1st round is over, but you can't nominate if you already have. (Bug your friends to xD)

Tellah, all the way.

12-0! Tellah Wins another clean sweep!

Next round!


3. Galuf, FFV

3. Amarant, FFIX

As much as I like Galuf, Amarant's red goatee is simply too awesome to pass up.

Ditto goatees rule

Amarant.

Galuf for me.

Galuf.

Galuf. Amarant's beard never really defined him for me, it was more the dreads.

3-3 At the moment, first close match who will pull ahead? (Dun dun dah!)

I'm gonna have to go with Galuf, I have unfortunately never played FFIX.

Amarant! :)

Tie Ballgame folks! 4-4!

Galuf

Galuf all the way.

Amarant, but I can vote twice so we still have a tie-break...

Nah, I've gotta go with Galuf.

Amarant, he's an annoying archetype, but it's about the beard! The beard!

Galuf

Amarant for me :)
