They're probably drawing on Chun-Li's rather rich background as expanded upon in supplemental materials, which is only hinted at in the games

Or they could be acknowledging that Chun-Li is pretty much the second most important female ass-whooper in the medium's history, as well as the second most ass-whooping inclined

I bet it's that

Out of curiosity whos the 1st

only becuase i would  consider  Chun Li  the face of the famale characters

Well to me it's Samus

Maybe not in terms of importance, but in terms of inclination she clinches it

Best:  Quina

 

Worst:  Quina

Possibly disqualified from both lists, as this is only for "females."


But he/she might be a female.

Hence, "possibly"!


the person above me said kaine, who is known to have a penis, so i think im pretty safe with quina who is more of a probably than a possibly.

No Colette on the Hall of Shame makes the list a failure.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

The lack of Estelle was a big contributing factor for why I said the llist is silly

Chun Li? Good character?
She never said anything in any game, she has no character at all!

And commander sheperd? It isn't a character at all, it is a group of choices...

Celes, Requel, Lenneth and probably Mitsuru are good picks though, don't know the other characters.

Anyway, there are so many more female characters that should've been on that list.

I bet it's that

It doesn't matter, she isn't a good character, she's an icon, and that's that.

It's like Mario, he is the most important video game "character", but he isn't a character, he never talks.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Yeah but you've established pretty firmly that your definition of "character" is almost entirely esoteric and arbitrary

Oh god, Colette was so bland and boring. I have anything sweetie-pies as characters, but she is just not a very compelling heroine and it's obvious we're supposed to forgive that because she's "cute". Still, even I'll admit she's nowhere near as bad as nearly anyone on the Shame list

Actually, my definition of a good character in a game, is my definition for a good character in a book.

Three dimensional, believable, interesting etc etc.

You included a qualifier that I didn't, though.

I would also have to say that Chun-Li doesn't really count. She has dialogue in endings, but that's still not what I would call extensive characterization. She's an ICON, but that's not a character. Gaming seems to have trouble differentiating between those two (though someone CAN be both)
