As you may or may not know, Gamespot is holding a meta poll of sorts to see who is the greatest video game hero of all time. Apparently right now in one of the brackets, Master Chief is losing to Bub & Bob of Bust-A-Move fame. But, this whole thing was broken from the get go.
Here's the link to the current standings:

Anti-Halo fanatics came out of the woodwork to vote down Master Chief out of spite.  Did anyone really expect a vote like this to be reasoned and not based on malicious bias?  I could see MC losing at some point, but in the 1st round to a pair of guys from Bubble Bobble?  Really?  In all other voting groups, the established icon is winning with the exception of Pac-Man/Kirby since they are both icons.  But in the Master Chief/Bub & Bob fight, the super soldier is losing.  Anyone want to tell me that is not due to people hating on the popular franchise?   If Sonic beats the duo in the next round that confirms my suspicion because Sonic has sucked for a decade now.
 
Ah well, it will be interesting to see how this thing flows out even if it is broken right from the start.

@Muttinus_Rump:   Ha-ha, I stand corrected.  I guess MC should have flashed his pearly whites at us sometime during the trilogy.  Apparently. a pretty face is all you need to win the crown.  Damn it, I knew that US-Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation that don't have maps and I believe that our education such as in South Africa the Irag everywhere like such as I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US, ah should help South Africa, and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children was true.

@PenguinDust: Are you implying that Bub and Bob aren't intelligent, or that they don't have any substance behind their awesome little smiles? If so, you sir are a meanie. I shall insert an angry smiley >:B

@Muttinus_Rump:  Absolutely and if they are fortunate enough to pretty their way through to the "sweet 16", I expect Samus Aran to show them what-for.  She's more than just a nice smile... ( o Y o )

4chan really helped push Bub and Bob ahead of Master Chief. It sort of pisses me off that they do this sort of stuff but, still, it's sort of funny how pissed off all of the Halo fanboys must be right now.

WTF? Master Cheif lost to some mascots from... that?!  
 
I have lost all faith in humanity. Master Cheif's backstory is amazing and extremely well thought out. You wouldn't know from his tough-guy persona in the games. I'm guessing it was the PS3 fanboys / Halo haters... I'm no Halo fan, but I mean come on.

Deep backstory? I guess taking Ender's Game and replacing it with 'John' counts as a backstory.
 
There's a million games like Halo
only one game like Bubble Bobble.

There may be a million games like Halo, but Halo started it all. And no, I'm not syaing Halo was the first FPS. It just had many, many renovations to the genre which are now commonplace. It single handedly created the online console gaming into what it is today, and without it you would never have CoD or what the hell ever else. Beside, we're talking about the characters, not the game. I highly doubt that Bub and Bob have ANY kind of backstory at all. They're just cute faces on a fucking puzzle game. Or whatever the hell it is. 
 
I'm not saying this as a Halo fanboy, because I'm really not. I'm just stating the facts... What's Ender's Game? Have you ever read the Halo books? They're awesome. They go into a lot of detail about his character.

Haha, I've never heard of someone hating the 360 but loving Halo! Maybe because they're tied so closely together, or something :P It would be cool if Halo was on PS3 though.

Yeah that's for sure, there are plenty of characters in that list that deserved to make it pass the first round.

Yep. And it's not even matched up right. I mean, it's basically like comparing Apples and Oranges for at least half of the competition. And it's filled with fanboys.

To start, Bubble Bobble is an amazing series of games, so trying to discredit Bub and Bob in comparison to Master Chief in ANY form is pure and utter bullshit. 
 
So Bub and Bob got my vote, as they have ALWAYS been pushed aside and they deserve the recognition.  I remember playing the shit out of that game 2 weeks ago on my 8-bit at home...and it was just like when I was playing the shit out of it on my 8-bit back in the 80s. 
 
However...I don't think people are paying attention to the REAL problem:  HOW CAN DANTE BE BEATING MANNY CALAVERA?!

Hell, HOW CAN SACKBOY BEAT BO FUCKING JACKSON?!?!  HE'S BO JACKSON!!! 
 
Also, I swear to God...if Little Mac doesn't end up beating the ever-loving HELL out of Cloud Strife, I'm going to lose all confidence in the gaming community...

I love this idea.  The whole thing is a mess anyway, might as well tie it up nicely with a bow.

Hm. I didn't know you had to be a Halo hater to vote for Bub and Bob. It's not like they're fucking garbage.
