I'll think of more later.

Cool list, dude!!!

However, i'd like to see G. Freeman and Guybrush higher, way higher.

^and Sam Fisher too.

Edit: so it's a tournament, not a ranking i see. Forget what i said then.

yeah, these aren't really rankings or seedings, I'll probably just randomize the matchups for the preliminaries and either keep it that way or seed once we narrow it down to 64, it was just the order that I thought of them in.

And I've been on and off with Sam Fisher, just because I didn't know how much recognition he'd get, but I'll def add him now in Cervantes' place.

Thanks, guys!!!

[LostHeroes]

Banjo-Kazooie ftw.

srsly, one of the best games ever

[jennaluv06]

Maybe some GTA characters? Like CJ, The Truth, Claude, etc...

Edit:
Sander Cohen, from Bioshock.

[Mighty Rearranger]

^I guess I'll throw either Claude or Niko Belic in there, I'm not big into the GTA series, so I'm not up on every character, but those two seem to ring a coolness-bell...

also, that pic of Sander reminds me of Jeff Combs in the House on Haunted Hill remake!! I did forget him, but I also thought the Big Daddy enemy was a better symbolic representation of the game for those that have casually played it, but if I can fit Sander in, I will.
