Sub-Zero and Scorpion are the mcs? I bet you're saying this without having played a Mortal Kombat game since MK2

(protip it's not true it's still Liu Kang and has always been Liu Kang)

Well it depends on if you really think people will just vote for a horse. I have faith in the Zelda fanbase to believe that Epona won't be worth much.

Oh he did? I just know Jade was in a lot more contests than Luke so I figured he'd be a little stronger due to people caring more about him than Luke.

Tingle is junk, Midna isn't worth much and I don't expect Groose will be either. I don't think just being from Zelda is instant strength.

We've never seen Bioshock's main character in a contest, so you can't say he would be stronger or weaker than Big Daddy.

(If you're going to annoyingly nitpick my statement, I'll do yours, too. Seriously this conversation is inane.)

This is because they are SO POPULAR that it's good business to put them on the cover over the plot mains.

That doesn't make them the main characters.

Though with this said, I still think Epona wins. I just don't think its an obvious outcome and I wouldn't be surprised to see Mordin beat her. Either way, Nico should struggle to get 15-20% with the other two taking up the majority of the vote.

Also, it's a shame Protoman couldn't pull it off. It'd have made that second round match more interesting.

And remember, if Ratchet wins, I threw it out there FIRST

And let you guys talk me out of picking it bah

Dunban has like a 1% chance of being stronger than Shulk. There's, one game total where the 'fan favorite' was stronger than the main character (it's Auron).


There's more than just FFX. Kefka is the strongest from FF6 isn't he? Then there's FF9 as already pointed out. Then there's FF12 and there are lots of non jrpg examples as well like KotoR, all pokemon games, Bioshock, 99% of games where the player creates the main character, I'm sure I could think of more.

Also it's really barely relevant how other games are anyways because Xenoblade is a lot different than most games. For one the first character you play as is Dunban. Sure it's only for 15 minutes or so but he is the first character you see and use. Two most games force you to use the main character. In Xenoblade not only can you play as any character you want but it's not even required that you keep Shulk in your party at all. Xenoblade is more of an ensemble cast than just being focused on one person. Though Shulk does get the most focus of course but it's not by a huge amount.

It's nitpicking. The cases of the main character not being the strongest are very few and far between and they almost always require extreme circumstances, which Xenoblade does not have. You're just being annoying for the sake of it.

Whether that's second over Protoman or second over Ike, who knows...!

Wait a minute, who ARE the main Mortal Kombat characters? I know Liu Kang was the original main, but I figured Subz and Scorpz were so clearly the most popular that they were canonically made the main characters in like... 1995 or something. >_>

Hell, Sub-Zero got his own platformer on the N64. That was kind of a big deal back then because no fighting game character had ever expanded to his own game in a different genre.

Liu Kang has always been the main character.

Sub-Zero and Scorpion have always been more popular. Even in MK1, this was true.

And KH noooooo you can't tell me that after everything that's happened you are still a LAW abiding citizen?!


...IT'S A HORSE. I mean, do we really think that just because it's from Legend of Zelda, people are going to ignore this? Now, we all know that Mordin won't be as strong as Garrus, but "not as strong as Garrus" isn't necessarily bad. Garrus had a really nice performance against Sub-Zero. And based on 2010 numbers (and using the assumption that FFVII is weakening to account for her outperforming expectations on Sephiroth), Garrus would be projected to beat Midna.

So, yeah, there's a chance.

No, it was Liu Kang. He's won canonically every single Mortal Kombat up until the point he died.

Raiden is arguably the new MC. Scorpion and Sub-Zero are just the faces of the franchise. Think of it like how Ryu and Ken are in SF3 but the main character is Alex.

And remember, Johnny Cage is on the cover of the MK1 arcade machine!

But really, Liu Kang not having a real Fatality in MK1 probably sunk his chances of being the most popular right off the bat. That, coupled with the fact that he had the most boring design in the world next to a couple of ninjas.
