Requiescat in pace to all characters ezio and the brotherhood will leave the title maybe might lose to kratos though
dante should have made it hes so cool and fun
No cap authur Morgan is the best character and he has one of the best stories
If you are a Nintendo fanboy you don’t understand how real life works
Capcom BTFO
It’s tough to make a choice because some protagonists are more of a character while others serve as more of an avatar. For example, Doom Guy/Slayer has almost no spoken lines and we rarely see him so he is more of an avatar. While Nathan Drake has his own characteristics and personality so he is more of a character. Even though I love the new Doom games, if you ask me to choose the best CHARACTER I would have to pick Nathan Drake out of those two simply because he is clearly a more fleshed out actual character. Another way to tell might be to see if the character you are choosing has a character arc. Meaning are they the same person/thing at the end as they are at the beginning of the game. If the answer is no, like with Kratos, they are probably a stronger character, whereas Luigi has the same consistent motivations and personality from beginning to end so he is more of a player avatar.
Where was jak of jak n daxter
Why the hell are you not letting me borrow for a Master Chief? I’m literally going to your website and you’re only letting me vote for either Mario or link !

Who are we kidding
It’s going to be doomguy vs master chief at the end
Link? Really? Wtf….. against master chief? Who’s voting on this the princess?
this is trash how can dragonborn who is a nobody can beat out megaman! one of the most iconic characters in video game history, this competition is so dumb and unfair, please dont act like u have the ultimate word in the videogame industry
He was sucking every single Sony character off and look what happened 😂
We all know Mario is the one winning…as it should be, no character more iconic
Where’s PACMAN? Didn’t he win in the first round?
Ezio is awesome
I cannot choose between Geralt of Rivia and Doom guy😢
Disappointed no shadow of the colossus wasn’t in this vote
Wtf! Arthur shoulda made it, all these characters are just little animated playdough dudes and Arthur was a hero that whoever played rd got attached to him and came along the journey with him as he developed. Damn
Snaaaaaaaaaaaaake is the winner.
I believe Arthur Morgan is the best character in video game history
I feel like the Democrats dropping out to support Biden. Nathan Drake and Kirby are two of my favorites in this whole bracket but Solid Snake actually has a chance to move on, so he gets my vote because I definitely want him to win over Pikachu
I mean yeah he’s more of a recent guy but comeon it’s Arthur Morgan
YAY I ReAlLy HOpE ZelDA WInS
We got a plan author
Scorpion is going to get rolled by mario
Master chief because shut up
MASTER CHIEF!
Bet Kratos Will Win I mean C’mon…He Kills Gods…
Dooooooom
Guys for the sake of my sanity make DONT put kratos against Ezio I can’t they both literally made my childhood…
No joke thought the announcer was Alan Resnick
Arthur died from TB in the middle of the match.
Arthur should really just win the whole thing smh
Link, Mario, Snake. HM: Bruce Lee guy from Tekkan
aruther should of won
I have played games for 15 years now and I have never been so emotionally invested in a character before, as I was to Arthur Morgan.
Luigi for example has been one of the most iconic video game characters for decades now, but for me, iconic doesnt instantly mean well written.
Opinions are opinions though…
It’s not Luigi
jak & daxter?
