How about we stop arguing? I agree with this guy ^ but we should just vote, not discuss main characters(etc.)

EDIT: I meant Repryx, but I agree with the guy above me too :chuckle:

America.. of course..
Nope Aeris was not the most important character, she was a Key character but the most impertant was definitly cloud as it was a story of his mental fight to return to stability as well as his physical and mental fight against sephiroth.

Krystal was an important Character in Dinosaur planet...I.E the staff and Fox's motivation....but she wasnt the main character

please stop trying to pass Geno as the Main Character or I will say some BS like Kidd was the main Character of Chrono Cross cuz she talked more
Could Mario have repaired the Star Road or would he have just gave all the pieces to his friends or put them under his bed because he would have no idea what they were if Geno would have came along.

Either Hyrule or Dreamland... depends on my mood.
372. Driving on your way to the local game store where you've reserved your copy, you look at your gas tank gauge and realize you're about 2 miles from empty, and the game store is at least 5 miles. Searching frantically for your wallet, you realize you don't have any cash, just the receipt showing you've paid full price for Brawl already. Sadly your home is approximately, oh, lets say, 17 miles away, and the game store is about 10 minutes to closing. So you decide to continue driving as far as you can, and the car begins to stutter at two miles, and eventually, stop entirely. You jump out of your car, kick it a few times,
AND THEN THE GAS TANK EXPLODES
lol, lets see here... I know!
373: You drive home after buying it, and everything seems all right, until Chuck Norris (Uh oh, here we go again) jumps in your car, round house kicks you, throws you in the trunk, then drives to a disco to dance with Mr. T. While he's dancing, Sakurai announces that he will destroy all copies off brawl that arent in a wii in an hour so you find a way out and drive home and your just about to put it in your wii when the copy blows up the end

Alright, alright lets drop the whole "who's the main character" thing. Btw we're (well I'm not) saying Geno is the main character of his game. We're just saying his character was just as important as Mario's.

Now lets just enjoy the rest of the game. (*cough VOTE GENO *cough)

Ok this may not be my place to state this....
but whats the POINT of doing this voting thing for who people like them
its not like it make any characters more or less likely to join, sakurai isnt going to learn english in one night and go a foreign website and look through all the topics and think O hes on the top of the list for this american fan made vote thread that has no poll

You dont even get bragging rights if someone you like wins... All that happens is you won some vote out of the millions of forums that will never meet sakurai's eyes

Edit: good point.... AlbelNox

and IsmaR someguy just messaged me to come to this thread and vote now

How can anyone debate this? The Lvl. 1 Magikarp Splash was the best move in any of the Pokemon games. It was un-dodgeable, and it was a guaranteed KO.

Feebas's might be stronger, though.

ask someone to take out one paper and say that you're choosing the paper still in the hat. then ask that person to show the paper he took. Since it'll be a death paper you can convince the others that you chose the life paper.
Something like that:

After you draw one of the papers, swallow it. The jailer will be forced to check the remaining paper to determine what the one you drew said. The jailer will of course see a paper with "DEATH" written on it, assume you drew the one with "LIFE" written on it, and set you free.

Next one:

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

Plus, since Mewtwo is the last pokemon character, all Pokemon fans are uniting to vote for him. But, it's mainly people who do not like Geno Supporters. Not Geno, just many of the supporters. Myself, I like Geno and voted for him.

I think the answer is a coffin

My riddle is kind of dumb but whatever

A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender then pulls out a shotgun and points it at him, the man then says thank you and walks away.why?

I'm not addressing this because it is directed at Geno more-so than I am because it lacks all sorts of perspective, and common sense, for that matter.
Politically calculated votes lack perspective and common sense? I was just commenting on what people were doing.

Or are you saying that people who vote that way lack perspective and common sense are are illogical?

I would have to disagree. It's not how you think people should vote. It's not what the supposed intention of the voting system is. But it's not unintelligent. People vote because they want a certain outcome. They are voting in a logical way to achieve that outcome.

The problem is that you disagree that they should be wanting that outcome, because you think the only outcome that is "logical" to want is for the character you like better in each pairing to win. But that ignores that you might want a particular character to win the entire contest, in which case you might have reason to vote differently in one of the other rounds. You might be indifferent towards a particular pairing, in which case side issues like pissing off annoying fanboys might be a stronger consideration.

I fail to see how any of those are illogical or lack common sense, or anything of the sort. It's not "playing nice". I guess you could call it mean. You could say it's perverting the integrity of the voting system. But it's not stupid.
This mentality is most likely the reason why the federal voting system is so messed up . . .
Actually, the federal voting system is so messed up because the way it is set up promotes this sort of political voting. Since a simply plurality is all that is necessary to win, the voting system promotes a situation where people will tend to vote not for their ideal candidate, but for the candidate they think has the best chance of defeating whichever of the front runners they dislike. In other words, the reason that many liberals only vote Democratic because they dislike Republicans, and many conservatives only vote Republican because they dislike Democrats can be found in the way our election system is designed.

There are other ways of designing elections that make it so the most intelligent strategy (i.e. the strategy most likely to produce the outcome you want) is almost always to vote for the candidate (or candidates) that you actually like the best.
