[QUOTE=Aredbomb;17558558]Yeah, this is about the greatest hero, not the one with the biggest fanbase. Mario's actually a very mediocre character. As I said, Nintendo really should have thought before they gave one of their most lifeless characters a cheerful, energetic voice. It works for Luigi, though. Mainly because he actually has a personality.
I mean imagine if Gordon shouted excitedly every time he jumped or swung his crowbar. That wouldn't sound right at all would it?[/QUOTE]
To be honest I cant imagine him shouting excitedly
also, This contest should've been called 'Greatest Fanbase of Video Game Characters of all time'
or something Im horrendous at names
[QUOTE=NixNax123;17556761]Ryu
Ryu started his journey in the original Street Fighter, which was an arcade game from 1987 that had gigantic, pressure-sensitive buttons
He went on to defeat the reigning world champion, Sagat, with a mighty dragon punch that left a visible chest scar
Ryu has also appeared in crossover fighting games, taking on some of SNK's best fighters, as well as some of Marvel's most famous superheroes
Gordon
Gordon Freeman was one of the few to survive the alien and government attacks on the Black Mesa research facility
He has a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Gordon upgraded his arsenal from submachine guns and a crowbar in Half-Life to a gravity gun in Half-Life 2
really?[/QUOTE]
Yea, the website is bias. But it makes the victories all the more sweeter.
This is how it should be like.

Gordon
Gordon Freeman was one of the few to survive the alien and government attacks on the Black Mesa research facility
He has a Ph.D in being a badass, takes down motherfucking Striders with old weapons found the ground.
Shreds people to pieces with his Holy crowbar, takes down Gunships, Combine soliders, Police. And being a cool motherfucker.
I'm doing it right.
Ryu
He punched people for no reason.
He may win, unless you play another character.
He is on box art.
Gordon
He, with no training, managed stroll right through military, tentacle thingies, testiclecrabs, military forces, tanks, helicopters, soldiers, giant alien babies, lots of little aliens, zombies, ninjas, and microwave casserols to escape a doomed research facility.
He then went onto smashing loads of giant mecha robots to pieces, drove a buggy through thousands of bug monsters, crawled through a zombie infested town, saved a girl, and blew loads of shit up.
He has a gun that picks up stuff and shoots it around like the badass mother fucker he is.
Gordon is better than Snake because Snake needed training to save the world. :smug:

Combine yours with mine and we got the best one yet.
Thats what she said.
Gordon has a P.h.D. is Chemical Badass, his grades where too much for scientists and sent him to "Gordon Freemans School" as no-one could take him.
He also rapes striders with rockets.
Gordon's losing steam :ohdear:
-unintended pun-
Still, only 4 hours remaining until the next round, and even if there is some rage Gordon's still going to get through.

[QUOTE=redBadger;17592707]Holy crap, Ryu is catching up! (slowly)[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It took him this long to get close, and there's not much time left.
The next round has begun!
FOR FREEMAN!

Do it, freeman fans.
Gordon Freeman needs to win, Link can get out, and eat his oktorok with the King's DINNER.
I hate how the last 4 are all Nintendo characters except for Freeman
Way to condescend Gordon Freeman, gamespot.
"Gordon upgraded his arsenal from submachine guns and a crowbar in Half-Life to a gravity gun in Half-Life 2"
---
"In addition to the master sword, Link has a huge arsenal of weapons, including boomerangs, bombs, and the extremely useful hook shot"
--
"He has a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology"
---
"Link's age and appearance have varied wildly; he was a child in Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, as well as an adult in Zelda II: Link's Adventure and Twilight Princess".
Gee,sure is one sided around here.
New vote poll is on now,vote!
[url]http://www.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-hero/vote/index.html?battle_id=62[/url]
Well, We're screwed. Link's here.
Gamespot is full of nintendo fanboys so link will most likely win
We still have anyone who has any wish to someone other than Nintendo characters to win, Like Duke, a lot of Master Chief guys, a lot of Fenix voters and probably more.
[editline]04:01PM[/editline]
And we have the steam community with us.
Did anyone create a thread on the steam forums?
Or email valve about this?
We had a good run, buts its gonna be mario vs link, because gamespot love to suck nintendos cock.
Apparently little kids like a world of 'magical mushrooms' and flowers.
Link has a head-start of about 300 votes but we can catch up.
All I can say is I hope Gordon wins, as this may become closer then Gordon/Snake.
Also, vote for Samus for 2 reasons:
1. Knock Nintendo's "Great Hero, Icon, and Symbol" off his pedestal. His fat ass has been up there for too long. Prove to Gamespot that they have to start looking in a different direction other then where the money is.
2. Make it an easier match-up in the finals. (Provided we win)
Just posted this on a loads of forums where it should get around 2000 views or something (tf2 forums and stuff) so maybe it will help in long run.
