Never underestimate the power of a generic palette swapped ninja.
I don't really mind Pac-Man beating Kyo since Pac man was one of the earliest recognizable characters, but Scorpion beating anyone is a joke.

Nah, this is why you should care about GameFAQs. Rally the troops, form a committee, and see about making sure your favorite character wins out in the end. Vote early and vote often, it's the American way.
Still, I'm amazed at the continuing popularity of Scorpion. Is the ballot box being stuffed by Midway in order to get some free advertising for the new MK game? Is there a previously silent majority out there that loves Scorpion and now wants the world to know it? At this point I almost want to see Scorpion win just to hear the public outcry.

First off, Mario better beat Cloud (but that match up isn't for a while. I'm still all for Mario to win over all). Link should beat Jill, that's tomorrow. Samus and Sonic will be close I think, I'm rooting for Samus. The day after that, Mega Man better beat Sephiroth.

Well, yes, but that logic doesn't necessarily hold true.

At least Strider beat Raziel, glad to know SOME classic characters are recognized by a generation of mall punks whose first videogame was Final Fantasy 7 &_&
p.s. no offense to people who didn't grow up with Atari and Nintendo, not your fault, but I do hate it when some of them say stuff like, "Excitebike sucks, yadayada is better!" just because of the pretty graphics, not pointing out which gameplay is better.

I can't believe that. I voted Pac Man. I mean, I voted Pac Man against Kyo too. At least Kyo passed the first round, but, come on, it's PAC MAN! But I still say Mario should come out on top overall, just because of Nintendo power!!! Shigeru Miyamoto is a genius.

While I'm not really a MK fan at all anymore, I'd still vote for Scorpion over Kyo though, as Scorpion was one of my faves back in the day.
However, I was upset when Scorpion beat out the almighty Kazuya Mishima.
But hey, it's just a stupid popularity contest. No matter who wins, it won't make much of a difference to anything. I mean, just because Kyo lost to Pac-man, does that mean that any of Kyo's fans like him any less?

I realised that most of the character i voted for were elminated... how comes Scorpion (i mean this guy is dressed in flash yellow, not really a stealth ninja) is so popular ?
And he wons over a fine vintage character, known by everyone, who never had a PacMan-Lunchbox or a PacMan-Wallet ?

He is mainly liked because he is a spirit/demon. Things like that always gain immense popularity due to natural obsession with otherworldly/supernatural things.
And about his clothes... DESPITE what that flakey game SZ:Mythologies may have indicated, Scorpion's outfit is yellow to mock his rival Sub-Zero.

It's a popularity contest for the visitors to GameFaqs, so don't take it as the opinion of GameFaqs itself (Which is still the best central resource for FAQ's in English...So many games I would of never beaten without their help). Nor take it as the general opinion of which character is better or not...Which is really a personal decision, in the end...:)

Right, GameFAQs and the people voting in the character popularity contest are not connected. Since a majority of visitors go to the page to look for information on the latest games [are a lot of people out there searching for a Pac-Man faq?] it's not surprising the more recent characters are getting the votes. I'm just grateful that Quentin Tarantino lookalike main character from GTA3 wasn't included in the poll.

Scorpion Just made it that far because he faced obscure and not so popular characters. If they had put Jin instead of kazuya it would of been a different story. Tekken 3 was the most popular tekken. anyways, it doesnt matter how far he got, Link is going to slaughter him, literally. But like some of you have said, it's just a popularity contest that doesnt really matter.

*Wakes up due to the GameFAQs discussions*
"Does that mean Kyo and Iori are not as popular as people thought, and hence they will be left out in future KOFs??" "Absolutely not!!!" "Does that mean Pac-Man wouldn't get his games in the future, since he was beaten by a palette-swopping ninja?" "Not really..." "Does that mean Scorpion will get his own game, like Subzero, from Midway?" "Probably not..."

people being upset that characters they find dumb beating characters they like doesnt mean that they think nobody likes the characters. when i bitched bout duke beatin iori, i did so saying 'how could anyone like duke better'. i still have utter confidence that iori rules. and none of these crazy things you said will happen.
some people just like to vent.

You forgot Solid Snake. Sonic, Alucard and a few others did decently too. I do admit though, I think there's a huge Square fanbase that's definitely at work at gamefaqs. Still, you have to admit that Nintendo and Square have a lot of memorable and cool characters.

You think Cloud will beat Mario? I really doubt it. Sephiroth may beat megaman, but not on my vote (I hope Seph doesn't win that). Even if he does, Sonic or Samus (I hope Samus wins, though I like Sonic too) should beat Seph after that. Link WILL beat Scorpion, or else the world is going to be sucked into darkness on that day. I think it's gonna come down to Link and Mario. It will be interesting to see which of them wins. I have always liked the Zelda games more, but I love Mario too, and Mario is such a flagship character that something tells me to vote for him, I still don't know who I'll vote for between those two. If Cloud beats Mario though (which I seriously doubt), Link will def. win the final.

There are more Square fans than Nintendo fans at GameFAQs...some proof of that is Final Fantasy games are ALWAYS on top...FF7 is probably THE most praised FF game there. Chances are Cloud will beat Mario...Link MAY get to the semi's because he will most likely beat Scorpion and Sonic/Samus.
My preditions:
[Division semi] Sonic beats Samus Sephiroth beats Megaman
[Division final] Cloud beats Mario Snake beats Crono Link beats Scorpion Sephiroth beats Sonic
[Semi-final] Cloud beats Snake Sephiroth beats Link
[Final] Sephiroth beats Cloud
Edit: If the outcome is this...all y'all saw it here first...and NO I don't like this outcome at all.

Stupid popularity contest.
BTW, Scorpion isn't a ninja, he's a mockery of a ninja, i.e. Sub-zero. He chose that form specifically as an insult to the Lin Kuei, right down to the "cowardly" color.
Don't go for the polls. Go for the FAQs and reviews, which are still excellent.

Well, I for one enjoy voting in this poll and find it interesting. Samus barely beat Sonic, and whoever wins today it's going to be the same way. Sephiroth is just a little ahead of Megaman right now. Go Megaman, you can do it! I think Samus will beat whoever wins this one though...
