I know, but seeing that this is the final round of the 1/4's i thought it would be fitting to say, as DK is walking away with this one.

The polls arent open to just members of the site, they are open to everyone who comes to the site. So no, the polls is a practically useless defence against what i said, which was that the forums are said to be overrun with Sony fans.

Where as when it comes to a voting thing like this on the forums, it usually shows a really strong Nintendo presence.

There were no Sony characters in the quarter-finals.

Which should technically prove my point even further. Thanks.

I take it you have nothing to say about the bolded?

Not so - all it implies is that the majority of the people participating, in those cases, were not voting for the Sony characters prior to this point. It doesn't even imply that they weren't Sony faithful, it just implies that they did nont prefer those specific characters.

As to the bolded: this would only be useful if a larger portion of this forum's hudnreds of users actually bothered to vote in these poles. They cannot be taken as representative of anything in particular.

The fact that things are this close in any voting contest that there is a disparity between the ratios of the voting population and the ratios between the console-owning population: there are far more "Sony fanboys", as compared to other "allegiances", than sales would seem to suggest.



starting too look like nintendo list.

so sephiroth.

But if the site was overrun with Sony fans, surely there would have been at least 1 Sony character/franchise at least in the 1/4's. Dont you agree?

Do you mean the polls cant be taken as a representative of anything in particular? If so, then doesn't that prove your other point wrong, when you said the poll's speak differently? (I may have misunderstood this part of your post)

Maybe they are really close, but then again... there are 3 Nintendo characters in the semi's (inc DK)... and one who is practically part of Nintendo now. (Ninty publishing, M+S@ Olympics, SSBB...) Do we really know there are far more Sony "fanboys", compared to Ninty "fanboys"? No. Although when you look at something like this competition, or the VGC top 100 games, they do seem to show a heavy Nintendo bias.

Dont reply here, reply in a PM if you want to reply... i dont want to get warned for being too off-topic and ruining the thread.

First line: no, I do not. It would require that those characters not go up against the likes of Link or Samus or Gordon Freeman or Solid "split your head wide-ass open" Snake.

You misunderstood that part of my post: more people participate in the polls, they are almost necessarily going to be more representative.

And I ain't going off-topic.

Donkey Kong is awesome.



DK, He has a coconut gun that fires in spurts. I doubt Sephiroth has one.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

-Jim Sterling

IMO i think only the old school gamers around here would deem DK more awesome then Sephiroth.

That or @#$%^&* but thats not to off-putting so... still most of the people voting DK are 30+... even though there age's are ??? for most of them.
