Original Alear Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Missingno is not eligible in the gamefaqs character contest. Accoring to nintendo: "MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon." Since missingno is "not a real part of the game" it is not a video game character in any game. In order to be part of this contest, characters must exist in video games. Missingno is not a real character and therefore not eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missingno is not a real character and therefore not eligible. It's in the game, so either you are misinterpreting what Nintendo meant or they were speaking falsely. And clearly a majority of the poll respondents thus far disagree! Edited March 12, 2010 by Fruitloop Multipuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracohon Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Considering Missingno is in its third round already, I think that means they deemed it eligible. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) GameFAQs disagrees. I know, but by disagreeing with my completely correct opinion, gamefaqs (and its userbase) denies itself the ability to properly rank characters. Therefore, as a rational judge, I have more authority than gamefaqs and have been empowered by my own brilliance with choosing the winners of this character battle. EDIT-The winner of the 2010 Character Battle is Hiro Miyamoto of Daikatana. Edited March 12, 2010 by SeverIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaMonkey Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) As of now, Sephiroth has 18947 votes (51.27% of the votes) and Missingno has 18010 votes (48.73%).... As for me, I voted for Sephiroth. :P Edited March 12, 2010 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fayt Zelpher Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 24396 to 22396, so OedipusRoth is winning by exactly 2000 votes at this point. I hope M.No comes back and wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I voted Sephiroth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sephiroth is winning 34,356 to 30,671, ergo about 3685 votes ahead. I voted for Missingno. for the lol factor. If it beats Sephiroth, it's probably going to keep going until it meets Link, maybe all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffPuff Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Aww...I would have voted for Missingo. It should of won because it can crush Pokemon game saves into dust (most likely by catching it and saving which is not recommended with actual carts) (if your not careful), or most likely just crashing your game. It can crash games, gives you 128 items in the sixth section of the item list upon which Sephiroth is just a silly mamas boy being born from a deluted man named by a mad scientist!

I don't see it. An Oedipus complex is just as much about father-envy/hatred as it is about desire for the mother. The only possible argument is that Sephiroth develops a complex in which he views the Shinra president as his father, but IMO that's extremely problematic primarily because tthe shinra pres doesn't have some kind of relationship with jenova that sephiroth covets. The other problem is that an oedipus complex is an unconscious, submerged set of desires developed at a very young age, which then influence our desires later on. Meanwhile Sephiroth's obsession with Jenova is at the forefront of his personality, so it can't even be called a complex. As for being compared directly to Oedipus, the sex with mom thing is tenuous at best (especially since oedipus does so in an attempt to avoid it), and any other notable attributes of the character are not found in Sephiroth AFAIK. Nope. I just don't see it. There's just no way I can accept such an idea. Because video games are serious business. I could see Sephiroth's backstory as being influenced by the idea of the oedipal complex, but I don't think he's intended to be read as actually having one.

#!/dev/haru Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I don't see it. An Oedipus complex is just as much about father-envy/hatred as it is about desire for the mother. Hojo is Sephiroth's father. Sephiroth hates Hojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember sephiroth expressing feelings towards hojo one way or the other! I need to play that game agian! EDIT-I skimmed the game script a little bit. I don't see any indication that Sephiroth even knew hojo existed. In fact, Hojo says as much. Edited March 13, 2010 by SeverIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
