First, the results of round 1.

Link (Legend of Zelda) 1111 vs Thor the Warrior (Gauntlet) 11
I'm pretty sure this is the first time Link didn't sweep his first opponent. This mixing of the brackets is already working.

Cloud (FF VII) 111 vs Dante (Devil May Cry) 11
Cloud just edges Dante, and takes up the mantle of ridiculously armed physics ignorer.

Kratos (God of War)11111 vs Bayonetta (Bayonetta)
Well done, Kratos. One of the sole sweeps of the round.

Simon Belmont (Castlevania)11 Vs the Prince (Prince of Persia) 111
Simon started strong but the Prince takes it in a gutsy last second push.



Samus Aran (Metroid)111111 vs Marcus Fenix (Gears of War)
Samus OWNS Mr. Testosterone.

Master Chief (Halo)11111 vs Space Marine (Doom) 1
SM got a single vote for nostalgia.

Gordon Freeman (HalfLife)111 vs Jim Raynor (StarCraft) 111
Our first tie, which I am left to break. I'm going with Raynor here, simply because he has a bit more character to go on.

Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark)11 vs Starkiller (Force Unleashed) 1111
Jo made a good push, but ultimately couldn't outshoot the darkside.



Hero of Kvatch (Oblivion) 1111vs The Prince of Shapier (Quest for Glory) 1
Well done on the Prince for denting the Hero.

The Chosen One (Fallout 2)11 vs The Hero (Fable) 111
Close, Chosen one, but no cigar.

The Grey Warden (Dragon Age)1 vs Revan (Knight of the Old Republic) 11111
This is easily the best showing Revan has made in any tournament I've run.

Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect)1111 vs Jack (Bioshock)
Strong showing by Shepherd indicates that maybe I should have seeded him higher, we'll see.



Mario (Super Mario Bros)111111 vs Alyx Vance (Halflife)
Now there is some domination.

Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island)11 vs Kirby (Kirby's Adventures) 11
Another tie, and much as I respect Kirby, I'm going with Guybrush here. The dude is Iconic when it comes to adventure games.

Sora (Kingdom Hearts)1 vs Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot) 11111
Sora's weakest first round showing, though he was never a crusher. Better start seeding him lower, in the future.

Louis (Left 4 Dead)11 vs Yuna (FFX) 111
Yuna edges out Louis in pluckiness, likely aided by boobage. Could she have beaten Zoe?

Ezio de Auditore (Assassin's Creed 2) 11vs Riddick (Escape from Butcher Bay) 11
Another tie, this one goes to the Assassin. But he is clearly being challenged.

Carl Johnson (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)1111 vs Frank West (Dead Rising) 1
A fine curbstomping by CJ

John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) 1vs Garrett (Thief) 111
Garrett steals this one, impressive, given how good Marston's eyes are.

Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes) vs Batman (Arkham Asylum) 11111
Yet again, lightsaber or no, do not mess with the Batman.

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) 111111vs Elise (SSX)
When it comes to boobage, lara seems to hold the edge.

Miranda (Mass Effect 2)111 vs Kaileena (Prince of Persia, Warrior Within)11
Close, but the form fitting body-suit beats the barely there length of cloth.

Lulu (FFX)1 vs Chun-Li (Street Fighter) 1111
I said mammary goddesses, but apparently we are respecting the thighs as well

Tifa Lockhart (FFVII)11 vs Kitana (Mortal Kombat 2) 11
Gah, another tie. I let DeviantArt break this one, with Tifa having 7k+ entries to Kitana's 4k+

Kerrigan (StarCraft) 11vs Arthas (Warcraft 3, WoW) 11
Was NOT expecting a tie here. I'll give it to Queen Bitch, based on her seeding.

Ganon (Legend of Zelda)111 vs Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat)
Respect the Triforce of Power

GlaDOS (Portal)11 vs Dracula (Castlevania) 11
I gotta go GlaDOS, if only on voice acting. "This was a triumph..."

The Master (Fallout)11 vs The Joker (Arkham Asylum) 11
Again? Another Tie? Uh.... the Joker.

Daxter (Jak and Daxter) 1vs Max Payne (Max Payne) 11
Our first #1 seed falls.

Luigi (Super Mario Bros)1111 vs Dog (Halflife)
And we see who, perhaps, should have been #1 in this category

George Haggard (Bad Company)1 vs Turret Guns (Portal)11
"Are you still there?" Nope, George dun got shot.

Morrigan (Dragon Age: Origins)11111 vs The Great Mighty Poo (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
Total Dominance. Fear sarcastic goth chick.
