People I'd like that weren't nominate or didn't make it...

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

=D

[f f freak]

NOOOOOOOOO! YURI! How could he lose? He's so pretty...

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

[Shauna]

Perhaps there is more to discuss about women than men.

[Agent Proto]

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.

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?

I'll vote in a little bit.

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...
