Damn I love you Dtoiders. It's been quite the epic estrogen battle over the last two months, and together we've all finally settled on the best gaming heroine. Lara Croft, Alyx, Jade, and Jill all failed in the previous weeks, and the votes from the final round have been tallied. Here were the results from last week's estrogenocide:
- Tifa: 39 votes
- Samus: 89 votes - Winner!
Samus is quite the destroying diva -- there was no stopping her in this competition. Not happy with the result? No worries, next year we'll give March Madness a makeover and set up brackets to run the competition all over again. But when Tifa makes it to the finals, and has this sort of unrelated NSFW persuasion on her side, well I don't see anyone posing a serious threat to Samus next year. 89 sets an all time record high number of votes for one candidate, making her the most dangerous Dtoid debater we've ever seen.
You guys and girl gamers are probably all worn out after the last month of arguing, so I'll give you a one week break, but then it's back to breaking necks. In another month or two I'll start bringing back a few classic debates from last year, such as the "Mother of all Marios" debate, where we ask you to decide on the best three Mario games ever made. You can imagine the madness that's yet to come -- last year it was nearly a three way tie.
So for this week just relax and suggest a few other debates you'd love to see on Destructoid. It doesn't have to just be one game versus another, or one character versus another. We've even done hairdo debates before, so get creative and come up with some good ones!
HMMMMMMM
Nice one Cavalli.
I saw a guy with a "CCCP" jacket at the bus station today, which unfortunately is socially acceptable in Canada. I wanted to punch him. I wonder if he knew what he was doing.
THANKS I LOVE METROID PRIME.
dprime's going big now!
I missed this vote somehow... I check Dtoid all the time, I don't know what happened.
i just can't get over how much shit you get from everyone but yet you stay!
bad ass keep it up!
The explanation can pretty much be summed up with 3 things. First, I'm not psychologically vulnerable to nonsense jabs from other people. Second, on top of my general indifference to popular opinion, I don't put that much stock into the signifiance of my role on this forum or what anyone on it thinks of anything except games. Third, I'd say 80% of the people on this site don't know who I am, 15% do and don't care one way or another, 3% do and don't care one way or another but enjoy the gag of riding me, and about 2% genuinely dislike me in a personal way. Fourth I just pwn so much that I can withstand all your offensive; like in an RTS. Yeah I added one.
That explanation was longer than I expected, but hey no regrets; I am a fast typer.
"How about a debate on what it means that the majority of voters chose a Canadian guy in a robot suit over a hot chick who kills dragons with her bare hands?" LAWL (not the person; the expressions.)
you should of made this debate more extensive though, there weren't to many rounds or heroines to choose from.
I think we should have a debate about favorite videogame character, male or female or androgynous(did I spell that right?) animal.
Niero Vs Workman , Summa Vs Collette, Chad Vs Marley
I vote for fr0nz
He's the only one of you assholes that actually plays Gears!

stupid personality deprived robot bitch. :[
I was going to write something about your "personality deprived" argument but I dare say Foxtoid summed it all up.
Anyway, too much "character" can really ruin a character, trust me.
And more anyway, what about Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion? And Metroid Zero Mission? I think those gave enough personality without vomiting pointless speechs (though I recall a pointless line in Metroid Fusion on Samus' behalf). Also, actions sometimes speak louder for character. That's why Samus does and will always kick so much ass. ;)
