Hottest Guy of Gaming Tournament : Its time for THE FINAL COUNTDO...Er FINAL ROUND

Hey, welcome to the Hottest Guy of Gaming Tournament! This is where we find out who the hottest guy of gaming is. This will work exactly like the Hottest Video Game Babe Tournament. I have collected 64 of the hottest guys that were nominated, and grouped them in four brackets of 16.

Some interesting facts about this tournament.
18 characters from Final Fantasy
12 characters from various fighting games
2 characters to satisfy Baloki's desire

First off, we'll be starting off with the first round, where we'll be voting for each bracket for a day. We'll be voting in the first bracket today, with the next one tomorrow. It will go quick, so pay close attention to this thread if you plan on voting! The votes will be done by posts, just like last time! Only during the later rounds when we'll start voting under spoilers. I will be providing pictures to assist you while you vote, but please don't base your votes solely on the provided image. You are free to provide extra images if the image I provided is not sufficient. :P

Whoo voting for stuff. xD

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Terry Bogard (King of Fighters series)
3. Welkin Gunther (Valkyria Chronicles)
4. Jecht (Final Fantasy X)
5. Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk: Room 215)
6. King of All Cosmos (Katamari series)
7. Dante (Devil May Cry series)
8. Al-Cid (Final Fantasy XII)

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Terry Bogard (King of Fighters series)
3. Hong Yun-seong (Soul Calibur series)
4. Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4)
5. Sora (Kingdom Hearts series)
6. King of All Cosmos (Katamari series)
7. Dante (Devil May Cry series)
8. Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)

1. Dan Hibiki - Why? Cause he's Dan Hibiki and as usual he's gonna lose and lose badly.

2. Terry Bogard - Rufus tries sleazy corporate whore while Terry is far more carnal with his muscles and simple outfit. He's been bringing sex to arcades for 15+ years. He still looks damn fine.

3. Welken Gunther - Our SolCal entry is just a boy compared to the sexy going on with the other people in this bracket. Even Sora wins over him with a better non-punk looking outfit and attitude. Gunther has that quiet sexy going for him.

4. Jecht - Yosuke is still just a young boy while Jecht is a man's man. Despite his age difference, Jecht still has a strong sexy body and I really have to give it up for guys that can hold onto that.

5. Kyle Hyde - Sora looks like jailbait. Despite being 16, he always looks 12 to me and that's just eww... I'm choosing the classic detective look over anime jailbait this round.

6. Cecil Harvey - He was forboding in his Dark Armor but when he becomes a Paladin, I feel most of felt "DAMN, HE'S SMOKING HOT!!!:Eek: No wonder he got Rosa". He's been making albino's sexy and stylish in gaming for 15+ years. As for his competitor... We all know his unnatural beauty would let him win this whole competition. No one will deny it so its better to let him quietly move out of the competition knowing that and allow the others a chance to see who wins second place. ;)

7. Dante - Granted, they could easily be long lost brothers but while Dante is a chauvinistic jack ass, Genesis is a whiny emo bastard. And while I'm well aware of Dante constantly cheating on you with anything willing to bend over, I can live with that more Thursday night "Date night" with Genesis where he rents a tear jerker chick flick and proceeds to interrupt the movie constantly with his bad poetry and how he aspires to be like Sephiroth.

8. Fei Fong Wong - good looks and a good body. He also has multiple personalities so it it will be like dating four guys at once. SCORE!

I didn't participate in the females one cos' I didn't see it on time, but this will be fun. ^_^

1. Balthier. Who the hell is going pick Dan? *scrolls up* Aie.... xD

2. Rufus. Just because I used to have a huge game-crush on him :love: But c'mon now, that's a bad picture.

http://www.quizilla.com/user_images/...esrufus_AC.jpg

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_esLcisRiNH...s400/Rufus.jpg

3. Welkin~ Aw he's so cute.

4. Yosuke. I wonder why I keep picking the skinny, feminine looking guys...

5. Kyle. Okay, Sora's like, twelve.

6. Cecil. Wtf? xD

7. Pretty close, but Dante. ^_^

8. Um... Fei. Wtf @ the other guy. Eek.

good, good. ^_^ Looks like the PMs I sent out have worked. I'll try sending reminder PMs to keep participation steady and hope for a good turnout. I'll post my votes later.

1. Balthier - He's always been a favorite. Plus that other guy is just ugly.
2. Rufus...I guess. I don't know.
3. Welkin Gunther
4. Yosuke Hanamura - This was a tough one :(
5. Kyle Hyde - He hates kids as much as I do!
6. King of All Cosmos - nanaaaaa nanananananana nanananananaaaaa ♪
7. Dante - I know I've said this a million times before, but Genesis looks like my Aunt Wendy. HE LOOKS LIKE MY AUNT WENDY.
8. Al-Cid - Though they both have bad hair.

1. Balthier- He's alright.... But the other guy is ugly!
2- Rufus. I always thought they should make more yaoi artwork for him!
3 Hong yun seong- He's pretty sexy... n.n
4. Yosuke Hanamura- He's one of my favorite characters in P4!
5. KYLE HYDE! (He's the love of meh miserable life! Wait, but so was Sora when I was 14)
6. Uh... Neither. :(
7. Dante- In an intro of Devil May Cry, I swear, I had an erection... x.x PLUS GENESIS LOOKS LIKE MY AUNT WENDY!!!
8 Neither... -pukes- :(

>>> Vote or not vote, thats the question.. :confused::mad::confused:
I just want Bridget to win this so i dont want to influence/vote for other characters that will backfire at me later..

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Rufus Shinra (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Hong Yun-seong (Soul Calibur series)
4. Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4)
5. Sora (Kingdom Hearts series)
6. King of All Cosmos (Katamari series)
7. Dante (Devil May Cry series)
8. Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)

:p

Aw man, I never nominated anyone, I would have had a bunch of them too. Oh well. =(

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Rufus Shinra (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Welkin Gunther (Valkyria Chronicles)
4. Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4)
5. Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk: Room 215)
6. King of All Cosmos (Katamari series)
7. Dante (Devil May Cry series)
8. Al-Cid (Final Fantasy XII)

1) balthier
2) dante

I'll post my votes this time around.

1. Balthier - I chose Balthier because he's not really bad looking. Dan Hibiki looks like a joke. :p
2. Terry Bogard - Terry's one of my favorite characters from the King of Fighters. He screams awesome.
3. Hong Yun-seong - He's a pretty badass character, plus I like his hair. :3
4. Yosuke Hanamura - I dunno, he reminds me of that one character from Trauma Center.
5. Kyle Hyde - Just because. 8-)
6. King of All Cosmos
7. Dante - I realize Dante and Genesis look pretty similar, but I figure Dante should take my vote, because he's more awesome.
8. Fei Fong Wong - He doesn't look so flamboyant as Al-Cid does.

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
I have to admit, this one is just all about the sex. Sorry.

2. Rufus Shinra (Final Fantasy VII)
I like a little sleaze in my life, and I like a little con-artistry as well. He's a dirtbag who develops a little bit of a conscience, which is okay in my book.

3. Hong Yun-seong (Soul Calibur series)
Swords are sexier than guns.

4. Jecht (Final Fantasy X)
A man > a little boy/girl thing.

5. Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk: Room 215)
Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I just can't think of a little boy who's entire goal is to save his best friends in dirty bad positions in bed. And this is about sex.


6. Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV)
Long hair, check. And a little modesty in dress goes a loooong way. Save some for the bedroom, Cosmos guy.

7. Dante (Devil May Cry series)
Vampire. Duh.

8. Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears)
I've never played either of these games much, but Fei Fong Wong looks like he might sleep with girls.

He does, he actually does sleep with the female lead in his game. ;)

Let's move on to the next bracket since the posting has slowed down. Voting will still be open for the Ivalice Bracket, so if you have not yet voted, you can do so when you vote in this bracket.

I will be providing images to help you vote, but don't base your votes solely on them. :)

Ivalice Bracket (If you haven't voted)

Soul Bracket

1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
1. Hwoarang (Tekken series)
2. Jowy Atriedes (Suikoden II)
2. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Irvine Kinneas (Final Fantasy VIII)
3. Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)
4. Tidus (Final Fantasy X)
4. Geddoe (Suikoden III)
5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
5. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper series)
6. Alucard (Castlevania series)
6. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)
7. Link (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
7. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)
8. Jin Uzuki (XenoSaga series)

Optional discussion will be the same, so feel free to discuss why you voted one over the other. If the image I provided is not sufficient, you are free to provide more images. :D

1. Hwoarang
2. Cloud Strife - Jowy has too much bewbage.
3. Commander Shepard - Cowboy hat. No.
4. Tidus - This was a tough one :(
5. Zelos Wilder - Between some girl and a fox, I think I'll pick the girl.
6. Ashley Riot
7. Link - This one was also tricky :(
8. Chris Redfield

Ivalice Bracket
1. Balthier
2. Terry Bogard
3. Hong Yun-seong
4. Jecht
5. Kyle Hyde
6. Cecil Harvey
7. Dante
8. Al-Cid

Soul Bracket
1. Hwoarang - This was a really tough one as both of these guys were incredibly good looking. In the end it came down to a coin toss, because I couldn't decide.
2. Cloud Strife - Jowy just looks too young.
3. Irvine Kinneas - I did nominate him, after all. And I don't know the other guy, so he wins this rounds automatically.
4. Tidus - Again, I don't know the other guy, but Tidus was better looking anyway.
5. Zelos Wilder - This was tough. Sly is some kind of raccoon and Zelos looks like Estelle from Vesperia. Human wins though.
6. Ashley Riot - No reason. He's just better looking.
7. Link - Laguna looks too feminine.
8. Jin Uzuki - I've never played the game he comes from, while I have played RE5, but Chris just isn't appealing to me. He's far too muscular and it looks unnatural.

1. Hwoarang (Tekken series)
2. Jowy Atriedes (Suikoden II)
3. Irvine Kinneas (Final Fantasy VIII)
4. Geddoe (Suikoden III)
5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
6. Alucard (Castlevania series)
7. Link (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
8. Jin Uzuki (XenoSaga series)

1. Hwoarang-SO TOUGH! But Hworang's red hair does it for me.
2. Cloud-The other guy looks weird...
3. Commander Shepherd-No contest.
4. Geddoe-Tidus looks like a testosterone-pumped Meg Ryan.
5. Zelos-SO smexy. And I won't voye for a racoon.
6. Ashley-Hard one, but Ashley barely edged Alucard out.
7. Laguna-He's on the older side, but Link is simply weird-looking.
8. Chris-THe other guy looks dull to mean. Plus Chris is badass. <3

1. Hwoarang (Tekken series)
2. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Irvine Kinneas (Final Fantasy VIII)
4. Tidus (Final Fantasy X)
5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
6. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)
7. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)

Pretty much the ONLY guy in gaming that ever caught my eye was some character from FFX that was super buff. Usually I'm not at ALL attracted to what Japanese art designers thing a "hot guy" should look like.

Ivalice bracket:
Balthier

Soul bracket:
Laguna
Cloud
Ashley Riot

I'm not really sufficiently arsed to go through and rank every character. Just picking clear favourites from each bracket.

1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
2. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)
4. Tidus (Final Fantasy X)
5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
6. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)
7. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)

There you go! :monster:

1. Hwoarang (Tekken series)
2. Jowy Atriedes (Suikoden II)
3. Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)
4. Geddoe (Suikoden III)
5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
6. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)
7. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)

:jess:

Sly Cooper. Damn straight. :D

1. Kilik

2. Cloud. As much as I like 15 year old girls, Jowy doesn't do it for me :[ And I don't even like Cloud.

3. Irvine

4. Geddoe. xD that was hard.

5. This time I'll go for the chick. Zelos.

6. Ashley

7. Laguna

8. Chris. Hee, he's cute.

1. Hwoarang, but only because I don't know who the other guy is and because Tekken is cool. >:)

2. What the hell is this. Blegh. I guess I'll go with Jowy.

3. Commander Shepard HELLO

4. Geddoe, because Tidus is eh.

5. Hmm...no.

6. Ashley Riot!

7. Laguna. Who could possibly go with Link? Ugh.

8. Chris Redfield. Duh. Duh times a million bajillion. Although Jin is cool too. :)

Soul Bracket

1. Kilik - Granted, he's lost his hotness in recent games but the Tekken guy never looked good in any of his incarnations.

2. Cloud - Despite loving Suikoden 2 infinitely more, I've always liked Cloud's heavy anime design. I hate his new "realistic" look but he stills gets nice outfits despite looking like a whiny cosplaying emo bastard... Jowy only looked sexy in his Highland military uniform.

3. Irvine - Sci-fi stereotype vs. cowboy stereotype... Despite not liking cowboys, I can't see anything that separates Commander Shepard from any other leading male from a sci-fi story from Sci-Fi channel... Bishi Cowboys are not as common...

4. Geddoe - I love male designs with eye patches. I blame Captain Herlock. Tidus looks like a beach bum in lederhousen (sp?) Geddoe looks badass and sexy.

5. Sly Cooper - Yes he's a raccoon but seriously... look at his competition. Not only does he look like a woman he practically dresses like one. Sly has charm and a snazzy outfit.

6. Ashley Riot - This was a really tough one cause I think both of them are pretty sexy. I just like Ashley's design better and Alucard has lost a bit of his appeal since you trip over albino characters with swords wearing black. He lost a bit of his original appeal despite being there first. Besides... Ashley is not afraid to show a little T&A. ;)

7. Link - Laguna is cute and charming but Link, especially in his recent console incarnation is just smoking hot...

8. Jin Uzuki - Chris looks like he swallowed a football, got caught in his throat, and turned out to be allergic to it so now he's all swollen up. Since I prefer my men actually having necks Jin wins.

1. Kilik - Red hair on asian dudes don't work well for me. Sorry Hwoarang.
2. Cloud Strife
3. Commander Shepard
4. Geddoe
5. Zelos Wilder - I'm surprised many consider Zelos a girl despite his pimp-like attitude. 8)
6. Alucard
7. Link
8. Chris Redfield

Zelos does not look like a chick! =(

He's likely to advance seeing that his opponent is a raccoon. :P Do I need to PM people to vote?

In the picture above, Zelos looks infinitely better. But as you said, he's up against a Raccoon.

1. Hwoarang (Tekken series)

2. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)

3. Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)

4. Geddoe (Suikoden III)

5. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper series)

6. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)
7. Link (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)

Ooh, who's the lucky one beside him! =o
I like this one too!

Feel free to vote and continue any discussions going on. All brackets are still open for new votes.

FOXHOUND bracket:
1. Snake
2. Jin Kazama
3. Sephiroth

Oi okay, I'm glad I voted for Zelos after new pics are revealed. ^_^ Anyway,

1. Snake, no contest. Ryu is also like 12.

2. Miles. The other guy looks 12. Sorry, I have something against barely pubescent boys ♥

3. Ryu. o_o I'm really scared of the other guy. Eek.

4. Sephy! Setzer looks like a zombie.

5. Ike.

6. Um yeah, Sol. xD

7. Squall.

8. Gonna have to go with Levian I mean Wakka.

1. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)
2. Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney series)
3. Albedo Piazzolla (Xenosaga series)
4. Setzer Gabianni (Final Fantasy VI)
5. Ike (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn)
6. Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear series)
7. Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII)
8. Wakka (Final Fantasy X)

First I would like to say: Dammit AP! Why do you have all my good nominations go against each other... :cry:

Ahem...

FOXHOUND Bracket...

1. Snake - Snake is just awesome and has the power to make even a mullet look good. Even when he gets old and starts looking like J. Jonah Jameson he still appears regal and badass.

2. Miles - Despite my love for Tir, Miles is just more sophisticated and hot.

3. Albedo - Got to love a guy with a cape, who is not afraid to play with his little dolls. He can even magic tricks ;)

4. Setzer - Much like Dante vs. Genesis, I feel these two are cut from the same cloth and I've always felt Sephy's design was a wee too close to Setzer for my taste. Setzer has a better personality and a larger than life attitude. He likes opera so he obviously has class and a kickass airship to travel the world. Sephy has a hole, a large rock, and a momy complex.

Course here is a fan art picture of Setzer to make you swoon...
(SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...g?t=1250061723

5. Georg Prime - Once again sporting my weakness for eye patches, Georg has to win, he's a totla badass in both Suikoden II and V and he's proven to be great with kids so there is more to this warrior man than meets the eye.

6. Reinbach III - He's not going to win but I have to give props for any man willing to wear that get up. :D

7. Iori Yagami - Crazy = Sexy... and now I think I understand what's wrong with my love life... :(

8. Jin - Seriously... Wakka is a fashion disaster. Its better that we don't encourage him

7. Iori Yagami (King of Fighters series)-God this is a hard one! I chose Iori.

Today is the last day for round one. Be sure to post your votes here. :)

1. Solid Snake
2. Edgeworth - Here is a better table stretching photo.http://mht4ia.bay.livefilestore.com/...a_gssnap02.jpg
3. Albedo Piazolla - Muscles are nice, but giant steroid muscles are ew. Especially when you can see veins.
4. Setzer...I guess :|
5. Georg Prime
6. Sol Badguy - WTF is that other guy xD
7. Squall Lionhart - ...I think I owned a pair of pants that looked just like Iori's o.o
8. Jin Kazama - Maybe if Wakka got a haircut he could have won this one xD


1. Auron
2. Ky Kiske
3. Ken Masters
4. Riku
5. Vincent Valentine - I don't even know what Kain looks like. Does anyone know what Kain looks like? That picture wasn't very helpful.
6. Cid Highwind
7. Yuri Hyuga
8. Leon Kennedy


How come Dojima didn't make it into the tournament? :(

Soul Bracket

1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series) - I seem to remember Hwoarang being far better looking but apparently I'm wrong. This probably should have been a tough match-up for me but Kilik has always looked good and is my best SC character so he takes the cake.

2. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII) - Jowy looks too kiddy for my taste. While I'm sure he's good with that pole of his (:jokey:), Cloud is still pretty badass himself.

3. Irvine Kinneas (Final Fantasy VIII) - While he fails in-game at being charming, Irvine is pretty good looking. Also he gets bonus points for being able to use You Can Leave Your Hat On as a theme song. And my Commander Shepard was ugly as sin.

4. Tidus (Final Fantasy X) - I don't know, Geddoe just looks like he hasn't been fed properly which is a bit of a turn off. And Tidus is wet and all that skin is showing..

5. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia) - Zelos would probably have got my vote even if he weren't up against a raccoon.

6. Alucard (Castlevania series) - Ashley loses because of his hair. I'm just really not a fan. That's too bad though, because he's more manly looking than Alucard (even though Alucard has that bonus of being son of Dracula)

7. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII) - I'll never be able to envision Link as a man, he's always going to be that little elf boy with an annoying faerie pal. Laguna also has pretty nice eyes ;)

8. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5) -If I had played XenoSaga then Jin might have stood a chance. While he looks pretty cool, Chris wins. He's got that rugged, dangerous "Don't smurf with me" look to him that is a plus.

Fun Fact: I voted for the characters of the games I played first in this round. Not on purpose, but probably because I have "a better connection with them." :p

FOXHOUND Bracket

1. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series) - Snake has the manliness that Ryu doesn't.

2. Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney series) - I'm a bit of a sucker for someone in formal attire. Seriously, I followed a guy wearing a nice suit for about 5 minutes yesterday, just because he was wearing a suit.

3. Albedo Piazolla (XenoSaga series)
3. Ryu (Street Fighter series) - Albedo looks like a nut job and that's not too appealing to me. Ryu has massive feet though which is kinda off putting.

4. Setzer Gabianni (Final Fantasy VI) - Being a gambler is infinitely cooler than being a mommy's boy. 'Nuff said :colbert:

5. Georg Prime (Suikoden V) - Georg is a man, Ike is a boy.

6. Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear series) - How badass is a surname like Badguy? He has some pretty wicked hair too. Not to mention Schtolteheim looks plain weird.

7. Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII) - Iori just isn't my type of guy. I wanted a hair cut like Squall when I was younger too because he's pretty awesome.

8. Jin Kazama (Tekken series) - I think Wakka loses points for being annoying. Jin has pretty sweet muscles though, and if you can fight good then I'm going to like you that little bit more.

Fun Fact: There's no fun fact this time :(

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X) - Cid might be a nice old guy, but Auron is cooler. Auron isn't afraid of a little grey hair either, and pulls it off with style.

2. Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear) - I dunno I just like Ky better :confused:

3. Ken Masters (Street Fighter series) - Because. Just because.

4. Sabin Figaro (Final Fantasy VI) - The image of Sabin I have in my head is a million times better than Riku. Without that image it would have been close though.

5. Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII) - Only if Vincent is his dark and mysterious self without the emo.

6. Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII) - Cid is awesome, and I remember when I first gained him in my party. It was an important milestone. Poor Zero didn't have a chance here :(

7. Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts series) - The deciding factor here? I prefer darker hair. Pretty crap reasoning but whatever Trevor.

8. Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 4) - So long as he's not bleeding from chainsaw wounds it's good.

Fun Fact: Even though I picked Yuri over Billy because of hair colour, 4 (or 5, depending on your view of Leon's hair colour) of the choices have blonde or very light coloured hair.

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X)
2. Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear)
3. Bridget (Guilty Gear series)
4. Riku (Kingdom Hearts series)
5. Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)
6. Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
7. Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts series) - Aw man, sorry Billy. =(
8. Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 4)

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X)
2. Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear)
3. Ken Masters (Street Fighter series)
4. Sabin Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)
5. Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

Adding in your obligatory vote for Bridget. :cool:

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X)
2. Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear)
3. Bridget (Guilty Gear series) :bigsmile:
4. Riku (Kingdom Hearts series)
5. Kain Highwind (Final Fanasy IV)

6. Zero (Mega Man X series)
7. Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts series)
8. Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 4)

Where is my Valygar!? ='(

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron - I don't really care about Cid bagging Edea. In this battle of old men, Auron is obviously the sexy one.

2. Magus - Only cause we have enough Bishonen Males wandering around this contest. We need some standouts like Magus.

3. Ken Master - Cause Bridget is a trap...

4. Sabin Rene Figaro - Better looking, a twin so you get some kinky action going on, great muscles and not too bright. Almost the perfect male sex slave combo. Besides, Riku is a whiny pain in the ass.

5. Kain Highwind - Personality wise, these two are kinda similar. You may have to wear a wig and do some cosplaying if you ever want to see some action from either of these two but at least Rosa wears a decent outfit as opposed to Lucrecia and those "mad scientist" skits Vincent makes you do get more and more disturbing, especially when he want to use Limit Break forms... Kain wins.

6. Zero - Granted, Cid is a total badass with a great personality but he's kinda old and seems more interested in machines than love. Zero also has a love for machines... destroying them that is. Zero is definetly prettier and the underdog for this pairing.

7. Billy Lee Black - A gun toting priest with combo attacks like Skywalker? He pilots a giant robot with a cape and runs an orphanage on the side when he isn't spreading the lies of the Ethos Church and killing mutant monsters called Wels. What's not to like here. His religious background also gives him that wholesome feel so you can fantasize about deflowering his innocence.

8. Sonic The Hedgehog - Leon is the type to be too obsessed with work and taking down Umbrella Corp. to ever take notice of you. Sonic would definetly appreciate you and if you can get past the masochism from him being a Hedgehog, you could learn he's not a bad guy. Besides, I think Leon likes them young... :shifty:

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X)

2. Ky Kiske (Guilty Gear)


3. Ken Masters (Street Fighter series)

4. Sabin Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)

Soul Bracket
1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
2. Geddoe (Suikoden III)
3. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia)
4. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)

Ivalice Bracket

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII) - Balthier is my favourite character in XII purely for his charm. He's such a goddamn ladies' man it's ridiculous.

2. Jecht (Final Fantasy X) - I said it in that thread, and now this is the proof. Scars and facial hair are win :p

3. Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk: Room 215) - Kyle has that "normal" feel to him. He's not some great hero that you'd never get to meet, which makes him more appealing to me. And Cecil is kinda girly-looking which isn't so good when you're a guy.

4. Dante (Devil May Cry series) - Dante is just awesome. I've only played DMC4 but his character, his speech, everything about him was cool.


Soul Bracket

1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series) - I'm going to be honest with you. I had a bit of a man crush on Kilik. :p

2. Irvine Kinneas (Final Fantasy VIII) - Irvine has a pretty nice smile ;)

3. Zelos Wilder (Tales of Symphonia) - I just don't like Ashley's hair, it bugs me xD

4. Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII) - Laguna wins because he's a genuinely nice guy. I dunno, this one was hard to pick between for me.

Ivalice Bracket

1. They're both very attractive. I think I'll go with Balthier.
2. Hong Yun-seong... I guess?
3. Kyle ^^ He's cute.
4. Definitely Dante.

Soul Bracket

1. Kilik.
2. Tough one. I guess Geddoe.
3. Ashley.
4. Another tough one ^^ Chris.

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)


2. Jecht (Final Fantasy X)

3. Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV)
4. Dante (Devil May Cry series)


Soul Bracket


1. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)

2. Geddoe (Suikoden III)

3. Ashley Riot (Vagrant Story)

4. Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5)

Ivalice Bracket
1. Balthier- That was an awful picture of him... >_>
2. Neither... >_>
3.KYLE HYDE!!!!!!! - He's the love of my life...
4. Dante - In an opening scene on DMC, I swear, I was having an orgasm just watching...

Soul Bracket
1. Cloud- I had a huge crush on him when I was 8. There's still a part of me that still does...
2. Neither... They're not my type.
3. Ashley- is pretty sexy, though that picture was awful...
4. Chris Redfield- I came in my pants just looking at him.

I have lice bracket

1. Terry. Balthier is a stuck up snob boy.
2. Jecht. Although that's a very feminine picture of a very manly character, that other dude looks retarded.
3. Cecil. That other dude looks like the kinda guy I want to punch in the face.
4. Dante. I always though Fei had a stupid haircut.


So you lie bracket
1. Cloud. I have no explanation for this one.
2. Totally Irvine. He's a sniper and wears a cowboy hat. I'm a sniper and wear a cowboy hat ^_^
3. Is Zelos wearing a nipple tassle? Either way he wins because Ashley is another tragedy with a stupid haircut.
4. Chris. Okay, so with all my choices I just went with who looked cooler 'cause I don't exactly find any of them attractive.

Wait, Lezard didn't make it? Lezard's not in the tourney? That's a CRIME! =( I mean, no one can deny his absolute MANLINESS!

Lezard was nominated, but unfortunately did not make it in the tournament. A single nomination doesn't guarantee a spot in the tournament. Had there been another nomination for Lezard, you would most likely have seen him in. Sorry guys. :)

Ivalice Bracket

1. Terry Bogard - I love Balthier but Terry is also smexy and I feel he deserves it more. He beat Geese Howard for crying out loud!

2. Jecht - I hate Yun Seung and Jecht is one of the few characters I actually like from FFX

3. Cecil Harvey - It doesn't matter if you're black or white...

4. Fei Fong Wong - Definetly the underdog here but he's pretty sexy, especially when he lets his dark side out.... MAJOR XENOGEARS SPOILERS!!! (SPOILER)http://files.splinder.com/eca79a3515...28af244b8.jpeg


Soul Bracket

1. Cloud Strife - Oddly enough, I really do like Cloud's design, its simple but it works.

2. Geddoe - I love eye patches. Adore them and Geddoe is such a fine badass.

3. Ashley Riot - Also a badass, and not as effeminate looking. I love him :love:

4. Laguna Loire - Chris looks like he's been hitting the night scene too much. Laguna is happy... Ok I don't have any insightful words to say.

2. Neither- They're not my type... (I hope I don't make tallying more complicated with all of these 'Neithers'
3. Sol Badguy- I was about to say neither but I thought Sol was slightly hotter...
4. Wakka- He's much hotter than Squall!

Zanarkand Bracket

For some reason I had a really hard time choosing between Wakka and Squall xD

FOXHOUND Bracket

1. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)
- Easy pick, but I also kinda liked Edgeworth.

2. Setzer Gabianni (Final Fantasy VI)
- Airship + gambler + showstopper > karate man of the hadou

3. Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear series)
- VOLCANIC VIPER!!!!!

4. Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII)
- This one's really tough. I hate both, but I think I hate wakka more. :(

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X)
- Because Ky is gay.

2. Neither. Both are equally cool. Sabin has bum rush, aurabolt and pretty much kickass, but Ken has a flaming shoryuken. And he's ultra in SF4 looked badass.

3. Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
- Anyone over emo and vampires and anything that reminds me of Twilight.

4. Neither. Dunno who is Yuri.

2. Sabin Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)
3. Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
4. Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 4)

:monster:

Foxhound Bracket

1. Solid Snake - he's just a sexy and badass. Any man who can make mullets look respectable is a god among men.

2. Setzer Gabianni - He's got more personality and character with his designs and has much better mystique about him.

3. Georg Prime - Georg is just an awesome guy and he's a little less "in your face" than Sol is. He's also a total badass.

4. Squall Leonhart - Wakka has made it only this far out of brand recognition. Oddly enough I feel this pairing involves comparing the best of Nomura's character designs with his worst. Squall wins cause his design is nice and simple and not overly embellished as Wakka's.

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron - I just prefer the designs of older men. Auron is probably one of the few good designs in X.

2. Ken Masters - If he was against Edgar I would have voted for him but Ken is against the meat-head twin instead. Ken combines both of the twins graces so he wins.

3. Cid Highwind - Cid's hot for an older man. I don't like his post-FFVII look but his outfit in the original was actually one of the best designs in the game.

4. Yuri - I don't like either but I feel I should vote. Yuri cause I can't stand Leon.

1. Solid Snake... maybe. xD
2. Idk, neither.
3. Georg :3
4. Wakka... Squall looks like such a pansy there. xD

1. Ky Kiske
2. Ken
3. Vincent~
4. Yuri

>>> Dont ruin our fun, these are not the ciddies proto.. D:

1. Miles Edgeworth
2. Ryu
3. Georg Prime
4. Squall Lionhart

1. Auron
2. Ken Masters
3. Vincent Valentine
4. Leon Kennedy

FOXHOUND Bracket

1. Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney series) - So much better looking than Snake. On a side note, *Saves Picture*
2. Setzer Gabianni (Final Fantasy VI) - I don't think either are particularly attractive, though I'm going with the familiar face.
3. Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear series) - I don't know either of them, but Sol just looks better based on the pictures given.
4. Wakka (Final Fantasy X) - My least favourite FF Male Lead and quite frankly one of the least attractive ones as well against Wakka, who, apart from the hair, is actually quite hot.

Zanarkand Bracket

1. Auron (Final Fantasy X) - I'm going with the familiar face, though I do like an older man in gaming so he probably would have got my vote anyway.
2. Sabin Figaro (Final Fantasy VI) - A tough one as the both look similar, so I once again went with who I know.
3. Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII) - I don't find anything sexy about a man who sleeps in a coffin.
4. Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts series) - Yuri is just sexy.

1. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)


2. Setzer Gabianni (Final Fantasy VI)

3. Georg, 'cause eye patches are cool.

It came down to the final vote for several match-ups, and I was afraid that I might have to lose my vote for them to move on. I apologize for this round taking longer than it should take, but we'll need to head on to the Elite Eight. It appears each of the top guys from each brackets will move on. :D

Now for the Elite Eight! I will be posting links to YouTube videos this time around, so I hope you enjoy them. :)

Valygar Corthala (BGII)
This isn't really an in-game image, it's from a mod, but it's the only one I could find on Photobucket.

Snow Villiers (FFXIII)
Relatively myserious, but he's still cute.

Drizzt Do'Urden (Various DnD Games)
Although mainly a novel character, he's appeared in many a game. He's still cute. ^.^

Rygar (Rygar)
I'm suprised he wasn't nominated. Oh well. =D

Lee Chaolin (Tekken series)
Despite totally sucking as him, he's pretty. =)

Steve Fox (Tekken series)
Also from Tekken, also my worst character. =o

Ivalice Bracket
Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)

Soul Bracket
Kilik (Soul Calibur series)

FOXHOUND Bracket
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)

Zanarkand Bracket
Auron (Final Fantasy X)

I was going to list who I'd want in the tournament as well, but then I realized that that list would be really, really long. xD I would have liked Albel Nox from Star Ocean 3, since I stole his last name for my username in my fangirlism and everything, I guess I have to say him at least. Oh, and Spada Belforma from Tales of Innocence... and Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss as well... Ok, I will stop now. xD

Though I agree with vivi_lover666 on Ryoutaru Dojima for sure.

Since I run this and the other tournament, I have noticed that in the other tournament, there were a little less votes overall, but had more discussion in the thread. That would explain the higher number of posts. There are more voters in this tournament, but a lot less discussion is going on. Not that I find anything wrong with this, but it's amusing to note the differences.

Edit: Forgot to include my votes...

1. Dante
2. Kilik
3. Solid Snake
4. Auron

Perhaps there is more to discuss about women than men. :p

I guess so. Looks like the voting seemed to stop so I'm going straight for the results.

Round 4 Results!

Ivalice Bracket
Balthier (Final Fantasy XII) 6
Dante (Devil May Cry series) 3

Soul Bracket
Kilik (Soul Calibur series) 5
Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5) 4

FOXHOUND Bracket
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series) 7
Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII) 1

Zanarkand Bracket
Auron (Final Fantasy X) 8
Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII) 1

Two blowouts, and two not-so-blowouts. Solid Snake and Auron managed to receive each vote, sparing one for their opponents, whereas Balthier and Kilik had more of a challenge with theirs. The winners were the top-ranked men of their perspective brackets, so we have ourselves a Final Four, or Semi-Finals consisting of the top-ranked players in this tournament. :D

Let's meet our four finalists...

First match-up

Ivalice Bracket Champion
Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
Defeated Dan Hibiki in Round One; defeated Terry Bogard in Round Two; Defeated Jecht in Sweet 16; defeated Dante in Elite Eight.

vs.

Soul Bracket Champion
Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
Defeated Hwoarang in Round One; defeated Cloud Strife in Round Two; defeated Geddoe in Sweet 16; defeated Chris Redfield in Elite Eight.

Our other match-up

FOXHOUND Bracket Champion
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)
Defeated Ryu (Breath of Fire 2) in Round One; defeated Miles Edgeworth in Round Two; defeated Setzer Gabianni in Sweet 16; defeated Squall Leonhart in Elite Eight.

vs.

Zanarkand Bracket Champion
Auron (Final Fantasy X)
Defeated Cid Kramer in Round One; defeated Ky Kiske in Round Two; defeated Ken Masters in Sweet 16; defeated Cid Highwind in Elite Eight.

So pretty much, we have the battle of the Ashton Kutchers in the first match-up, and the battle of the Bruce Willises in the second match-up, or the Young and the Old (how cool is that?)

For easier voting...

Final Four

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
2. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)
2. Auron (Final Fantasy X)

Voting will be up for two days. Please keep your votes under spoilers in this round. Thanks. :3 And can a staff please update the title when one comes across this message? Thanks a bunch.

Optional Discussion: Our four finalists have turned out to be Balthier, Kilik, Solid Snake, and Auron. Coincidentally, all four had the top nominations during the nomination period. Are you surprised about the Final Four, or were you expecting to see anyone else to show up?

[spoiler]My votes:
1. Balthier
2. Solid Snake

(SPOILER)1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)

and

2. Auron (Final Fantasy X)

(SPOILER)1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)

I forgot to vote last round but it looks like everyone I would have voted for won anyway. Anyone else notice that the winners of each bracket correspond to their bracket name? ;)

I'll vote in a little bit.

(SPOILER)
1. Kilik
2. Solid Snake

I'm not really surprised these 4 made it...
But I am surprised Kyle Hyde, the love of my life, made it as far as he did...

(SPOILER)
1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
2. Auron (Final Fantasy X)

Why is Chris gone. His bulging biceps... :love:

I'm going to extend the votes by a day due to the technical difficulties the forums had experienced in the past day. Please use this to your advantage and vote. Remember to keep your votes in spoilers. :)

I wanted Kyle to win. I don't even want to vote anymore :(

everyone just had bad taste in men! Look how long Cecil lasted!

I'm surprised that Chris was cut. Anyway...


(SPOILER)
1. Balthier
2. Solid Snake

It's a tough choice between Snake and Auron, but...
(SPOILER)
1. Balthier

2. Auron

He's got a certain charm and enigma that Snake lacks. Also, his English voice is more compelling than Snake's. That's a big part of Balthier's charm for me, too - the voice.

I almost hated you for such a hard top 4 Jeff, until I realised it was actually my fault, along with everybody else's, so it's cool :p

(SPOILER)Final Four

1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series)
2. Auron (Final Fantasy X)

I'll be happy with any of the four so it's all good :)

(SPOILER)1. Balthier

2. Solid Snake

I don't know what you guys are talking about, Cecil brought sexy to the FF series :cool:

>>> Well, we were picking girls in that tournament of course there would be more discussion, and most of the people who is participating in this tournament are still males.. The extra votes you are getting here are probably the few female members that are participating in this..
plus, according to this EoFF Event Committee: August Newsletter!
all the males that are participating on this tounament are gay.. :confused:
well, that was not very encouraging if you ask me..

Wow, sorry this took longer than expected. I wasn't feeling so good during the last few days, and what's with the down time EoFF had? Anyway, there's been enough votes so let's see the results!

Final Four Results!

In our first match-up, we have the two young'ns, Balthier from Final Fantasy XII and Kilik from the Soul Calibur series. With a commanding 7 to 2 victory, Balthier the sauve sky pirate makes it into the Finals.

Our second match-up features the two older, mature men, Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series, and Auron from Final Fantasy X. Does Auron have enough votes to make this a Final Fantasy exclusive Finals? In a very tight race, it all comes down to a 5-4 victory for the stealthy Solid Snake.

1. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII) 7
1. Kilik (Soul Calibur series) 2
2. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series) 5
2. Auron (Final Fantasy X) 4

Now here we are, to the long awaited Finals for this long and gruesome tournament. From 64 down to the final 2. Who will come out winning the title of Hottest Guy of Gaming? Will it be Balthier the sky pirate from Final Fantasy XII, or would Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series sneak away with victory? It's up to the voters to decide. This may end up with the final vote to decide a victor.

Finals

Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series)

PM me your vote.

Optional discussion: Now we're down to the finals, what are your thoughts and/or opinions about this tournament? Were there anything you would want changed or added? I would like to know. :)

Voting will go on for two days and shall start now. Also, seeing that this is the final round, I would like to keep the votes a secret, so please PM me, Agent Proto, your votes. Much appreciated, and would a staff member please update the title for the finals? Thanks again. :)

Not a completely easy choice - but then, the poll's about hotness, not just overall awesomeness or badassery. Though my choice has a fair amount of those too.

My thoughts about the tournament..? Worked pretty well, I think. Nominations, voting, eliminations - got the job done. Not so lively on the 'discussion' front, which is a shame, but that's the fault of the participants rather than the organiser:)

:edit: *deletes vote from post:D*

Ah, Big D! Be sure to PM me your vote for this is the Finals. Also want to say that I appreciate your thoughts. I do agree the discussions are lacking for this tournament.

Whoops! I have been away on vacation so I only get to vote in the last round xD I guess that works though right?

At least it's not like voting once in the first round and forgetting to vote in the later rounds... oh wait it is like that! XD

Anyway, a couple YouTube videos to enjoy while you vote and discuss. :D Caution, some may contain spoilers!

(SPOILER)balthier
solid snake


finals are gonna be hard

EDIT: WTF I MISSED SEMIS
ok
eventually i will pm you proto
this is difficult

Geez!!! AM I the only one who this Balthier is ugly!?

Ew but solid snake is all gruffy and old. DON'T FORGET HE'S OLD NOW GUYS!

His chin is weird too xP

His gruffiness makes him hot!!!

Plus, his facial hair gets me aroused

Solid Snake should win this.

Ahh, those two are worthy finalists I think. It's gonna be hard choosing, 'cause.. well they're both smexy, but in different ways.

Kyle Hyde was more of a worthy finalist!:mad:

You guys like old men. That's gross. Grandpa lovers.

Old men. :jokey:

Hellz yeah.

You just like Balthier cause he's gay.

What's wrong with being gay!? :mad:

These guys are all too pretty-boy. Now someone like Solid Snake, that's an option I could get behind.

Well, it's the Finals, and it's between Snake and Balthier. If you plan on voting, just send me a PM. :D

I can't wait to see Balthier eliminated! :D

Nothing, I was just commenting on why Lekana likes him.

I voted wooo! HE should win win!! Yes he should!!!

Boys kissing is hot. What's wrong with that :colbert:?

The moment of justice is upon us. Are we ready for the results?

no
why can't they just live in peace with each other
in a loft apartment
with a laugh track

I think they'd get along well!

Before we get to the results, let's re-introduce our finalists.

First off, we have our Ivalice Bracket Champion, Balthier of Final Fantasy XII.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...s/balthier.jpg

His challenger is the FOXHOUND Bracket Champion, the star of the Metal Gear Solid series, Solid Snake!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...SolidSnake.jpg

Two distinctively different hot dudes with opposite styles. One has the clean-shaven boyish look, and the other a rugged look that still makes him look good. (Plus the fact that Snake can make a mullet look good!) So who came out on top as hottest guy of gaming?

It was quite close, but one was a few votes short of victory. With a tally of 8 votes to 5, the winner of the Hottest Guy of Gaming Tournament goes to...







Balthier!

Congrats to the sky pirate for winning, and making this another victory for a Final Fantasy character and becoming the first winner of the title for hottest gaming guy.

Now that we have a winner, what do you think? Does he deserve the title or not?

They both deserved to win really, but since I voted for Balthier I'm glad he won. Also, it's kinda cool and suitable that FF characters won both of the hotness competitions.

They do keep in mind when they make FF characters to make them pretty :D

voted for snake because he's a more real character than balthier i guess
but it sucks because i have crushes on both of them
it was a difficult choice
i decided to go with the one i expected to be the underdog and i was right

The deciding factor truly was the mullet. Men with mullets look ridiculous! :(

You guys totally have the worst taste in men. Balthier, in my opinion, isn't all that...

The easiest way for me to pick was to think - who would I rather look like? The answer, quite easily, was Balthier. He's clean, sharp and charming. He also has the ability to lay down the "wanna ride in my airship?" card, while all Snake has to offer is hiding in the tall grass (though that's not always bad ;))

I support the win, but I think the contest was dead on right the way through.

Man :(

Balthier has that I'm an annoying cocky pretty-boy attitude that makes me want to punch him in the face.

:D How 'about Snake's "grumble grumble waaah, I'm just a tool of the government, I'm only good for killing, I'm no use to the world" emo attitude?

Nah, I can relate to that.

Woo hoo I knew it!! And I rightly so cause we are a Final Fantasy Website! afterall!!


See I can justify myself to wear the those skinny leather pants and not be laughed at!!

No. You'll still be laughed at.

*Won't wear lether pants when we hang out* :shifty:

Let's all wear leather pants! ...D:
