This is sure to disappoint some people. In before cloud strife wins? :mad:
Stupidity so far:
Guybrush Threepwood beaten by Wander (who the hell is wander?)
Abe beaten by Ryu (it's ODDWORLD!, ryu is just one of many fighters in SF, abe is THE game ._.)
Phoenix Wright beaten by Little Mac (who?)
Excellence so far:
Master Chief beaten by Bub & Bob (I don't even know who Bub & Bob are, but so long as master chief lost :D)
I just don't want Lara to be beaten in the first round. That would make me happy ;9
Also, 9 hours left of this round everyone go vote :3

God damn, you don't know anything. You're as bad as the people who write in the comments, for example, that MANNY IS A WUSSY DANTE COULD BEAT HIM UP ANY DAY DEVIL MAY CRY WINS.
Learn your games and characters first -then- go and participate in these sorts of things. Don't feel too alone though, pretty much all of them are ignorant to characters not made in the last 4/5 years.
Little Mac is from Punch-Out, and I would have to agree with the result of that one.

You don't know who Wander, Little Mac & Bub and Bob are?
:-X
No idea who wander is, never played shadow. Only heard about the game, not about him (ever, anywhere).
I've played and of course heard about punch out, I never remember anyone called little mac.
Heard of bubble bobble, not played it, didn't know who bub and bob were.
A videogame hero is somebody you'd remember I think :)

No, somebody you'd remember is the one with the most advertising and hype.
See: Master Chief.

If Sonic wins, I'm never playing video games again.
From within, we all know that Mario is gonna win.

Bub and Bob are beating sonic 70% to 30%.

edit:
I can see Megaman, Mario, Gordon Freeman, and Link making it to the "fabled four"
Megaman faces Bub and Bob before that. He's going to lose.
Link also might lose to Duke Nukem before that.
It's going to be B&B against Duke Nukem. Who will win?
who the hell are Bub and Bob?
As fun as Bubble Bobble is, they are definitely not close to the greatest video game characters. They're barely characters at all, just character designs.
I think it's silly that Toejam & Earl didn't even make it on the list also.
I think Link will beat Duke Nukem.
My guess for the finals is Link vs. Lara Croft
Gordon Freeman better not make it past Snake. He shouldn't have even made it past Bomberman.
From "Bubble Bobble." They're the people you control.
And I could understand the winners (except for the games that I don't know because yeh). Of course, that's with what I know of it.
Also, there's no criteria for voting so I don't know why you guys complain. It's not like you have to know everyone before voting or if you're voting on how the game was or whatnot. You could just be voting because you like how they look.

that he should still win.
Snake > Gordon Freeman
Anyone who disagrees likes everything Valve does because it's cool to like Valve.
You guys need to understand that several boards on 4chan are rigging this so that Bubble Bobble will face off with Duke Nukem at the end. It's sort of pointless to think anybody will win except for those two...
i don't know anyone who cares about 4chan. It's kind of like America how you think your vote counts but it doesn't. funny really.

Anyone who disagrees likes everything Nintendo does because it's cool to like Nintendo.
I'm pretty sure Konami isn't Nintendo.
Snake deserves to win over Gordon Freeman for one simple reason: Snake is actually a character.
Snake > Gordon Freeman
MGS > Half-Life
MG/S != Nintendo.
Also @Grafikal:
What? "Nobody cares about 4chan (wrong) [so their votes don't count]" How does that even make sense? They are grouping together and voting Bub & Bob and Duke Nukem to the end. Don't be dumb.
I wasn't referring their votes. I was talking about ours compared to theirs. I'm not being dumb, just misinterpreted :)
lol mario vs the prince
The prince is awesome but, as we know
MARIO IS GOING TO WIN.
If Gordan Freeman wins, I will go about my life as though this poll made no impact on my life whatsoever.

I like Half Life more than MGS, so I'll have to say Gordon Freeman, though you do have a point.
If Gordon Freeman wins, I will take down 4chan. ;v
the PC gaming community is voting for Gordon Freeman, 4chan is voting for Bub and Bob, Nintendo fans are voting for Link more than they are Mario, and the main console gamers are voting for Cloud and Kratos.
Coincidentally, they're all in individual corners.
Garret and Travis Touchdown lost in the first round, got damned shame I tell you h'wat

HOHOHO
Abe lost ;9
Round 2 has ended, round 3 begins.
Bub & Bob have beaten sonic ::) But now they're also beating Samus. That is stupid.
And Gordon Freeman should beat snake.
I feel like it's going to come down to Link VS Gordon Freeman or Ryu or Mario and in the end Link would probably win.
Mario, Bub and Bob, Snake, Link
These will be the final four.
bub and bob are being pushed through the voting by /b/
if this is anything like Time's poll they'll be able to stack it through for the win.

I'm saying your speculation is pointless because it's being rigged.
The point is fun, and it would remain the only point whether it were a completely fair tournament or not.

What it's being rigged? I just assumed everyone was voting for Bub and Bob because they're the greatest video game heros of all time.

Gamespot is taking action against it, though. Or they meant to take action but they didn't or something. Really don't care anymore, go Snake!

Hahahaha
Gut feeling: Link wins, fabled four are going to be Mario vs. Bub & Bob and Gordon vs. Link.
Gordon is a much better character. You don't find yourself attached to him in the same way you do to a movie character or a protagonist like Snake, and maybe it doesn't feel like you're attached to him in the conventional hollywood relatable way but he really makes you feel like you're both in an unfamiliar world.
More often than not I find myself more interested in the citizens/environment than Gordon but I guess that's really a sign of great design. Think about it, why would you be interested in yourself more than the world around you? Awe-full in a way. :3
Anyhow, I hate when people tell you to go back and play Golden Eye or OoT and tell them they're still as fantastic as we remember. People rarely say that for FFVII and FUCK YEAH, Golden Eye and OoT are still as awesome as I remember them being.

I love my PC just as much as I love most consoles. >:|
Really I would only buy a PC version over console so I could multitask while playing because I have not a TV in my room or even close enough to it to make it worth while.

I never played them when they came out, OoT I first played like in 2001 and Golden Eye around the same time or maybe before.
My brother and his friend would play Golden Eye and Perfect Dark all the time but never let me play for the longest time. ;9
Sho nuff OoT is one of the best games ever and if I dind't own it twice over I'd have already bought it on VC because my copies are stuck in storage. :P

Kratos is from God of War.
Not surprised at all, however I didn't expect Samus to beat Bub and Bob. It's nice though, everyone loves a little Aran. :)
