Gaming Hero Tournament - Nominate within!

So it's been awhile since I have hosted any of these tournaments in General Gaming Discussion. Consider that I don't have much to do and there's a lack of important events going on at the moment, I might as well start one right now! But the problem is that I don't have anything so that is where this thread come in. You shall be nominating your favorite gaming heroes to compete with others for the top spot as Eyeson's most favorite hero of Video Games!

I believe the last time I hosted such a tournament like this the winner was Frog from Chrono Trigger! And that was five years ago, so will he be triumphant five years later, or will we see a new hero rise among the rest to become the best? Hero nominations begin! You may nominate up to fifteen characters at the most. Each nomination will count as one point when I'm tallying them.

So I guess nominating will last for a couple days when I receive enough heroes for a tournament.

Chell - Portal
Naoto - Persona 4; Everyone was just kind of going in circles until he came along and got the logic ball rolling!
Mint - Threads of Fate; I love how she's just completely up front about how she wants the relic for world domination and everyone is still like "okay we'll help you find it!"
Ezio - Assassin's Creed
Commander Shepard - Mass Effect; While Mass Effect isn't my favorite series, Commander Shepard is definitely my favorite protagonist. He/She fills that spot that many silent you-get-to-be-the-character heroes do while still having a distinct personality and not actually being silent. And that personality is pretty bad ass.

EDIT:

Any particular rules on who we can/can't nominate? I'm assuming since Frog was the last winner it doesn't necessarily have to be a "main character" so to speak...

Oh right. Some rules to go by then... Actually there are only two simple rules.

1. The hero obviously must be a playable character. (Ex. Samus Aran)
2. The hero can't be from a game based on a movie/comic/tv show. (Ex. Harry Potter)

Edit: Also want to mention this. If you nominated already, but want to nominate more, you are free to do so as long as you haven't nominated 15 characters already. So if you had nominated 5 characters earlier, you can nominate up to ten when you make more nominations. Once you reached 15, you cannot make any more nominations. If you happened to nominate more than 15, either because you weren't paying attention or just for lulz, I'll accept the first 15 characters you listed and no more. :bigsmile:

Launchpad McQuack - DuckTales.

xD I like how your nomination is both unplayable and from a game based on a show from Disney, MILF. Unfortunately, I can't accept him.

Thanks for the clarification, Proots <3

I think 15 nomination limit is unfair since I looked at the earlier tournament I did 5 years ago. I didn't have a limit so I'm going to drop the 15 limit and say you can name as many video game heroes, as long as they meet the criteria. This should help anyone that wants to nominate as many characters they want to see in this tournament.

Mario - Mario games
Luigi - Mario games
Yoshi - Yoshi's Island
Solid Snake - Metal Gear series
Samus - Metroid series
Mega Man - Mega Man series
Simon Belmont - Castlevania series

Sonic - Sonic the Hedgehog series
Tails - Sonic the Hedgehog series
Sora - Kingdom Hearts series
Nathan Drake - Uncharted series
Kratos - God of War series
Commander Shephard - Mass Effect series
Professor Layton - Layton series

Is this competition just based on popularity?

Yuri Hyuga - Shadow Hearts
Balthier - FF12
Naoto Shirogane - Persona 4
Junpei Iori- Persona 3
Red - Pokemon
Apollo Justice - Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

It is what you make of it. If you want to base it on popularity, so be it!

Link - OoT/MM (There are a bunch of Links!)
Dominic Santiago - Gears of War trilogy
Solid Snake - Metal Gear series
Crono - Chrono Trigger
Serge - Chrono Cross
Gordon Freeman - Half-Life series
Space Marine - DOOM
Chell - Portal
Ike - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Kirby - Kirby series

Although it's doubtful whether he's a 'hero' or not, I'd like to add Wander from Shadow of the Colossus.

And Sackboy (LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2). Hurray!

Currently have 82 heroes in the tournament that are eligible! Let's get some more coming so I can start this tournament soon.

Hero - Dragon Quest VIII
Big Boss - Metal Gear Solid 3 & 4
The Boss - Metal Gear Solid 3
Cole - inFamous
Jin Kazama - Tekken 1-5

Mokujin - Tekken series!

Ma Chao, there, that better?

No. Just no.

HC, I am not going to accept any of those because they're all from the same gaming series. I'm aware you have broken no rules, but there is an unspoken rule you have broken, and that's the number of characters from any game you can submit. Since you've broken that I won't be accepting any of them.

Too bad, you said we could nominate anyone if they were playable and not based off a movie or tv show

He's still running the damn thing; don't backtalk him. :colbert:

btw I second Zell!

Currently 89 characters in the tournament, let's do our best to get to at least 128, so plenty more to go! Everyone is free to nominate any character, as long as they're playable and from a game not based on a movie, tv show, or other forms of entertainments. And don't try to pull off what Hypoallergenic Cactuar tried to do.

And with that, I'll nominate a couple more characters to bring us to 93.
