The internet’s favorite video game character is L-block?

By Spencer . November 4, 2007 . 10:23pm

The internets favorite video game character is L block?This isn’t even news, it’s far from it. With that aside, GameFAQ’s sixth Character Battle ended with L-block, a shape from Tetris is the victor. Usually, obvious characters win and make it to the finals. Link won twice, Cloud won once and it seemed like Link was destined to win again. So why did L-Block win? My hunch is people are sick of seeing the same characters dominate the competition. Now, someone (me?) better snatch up the rights to making a game starring the right angled, king of video game characters.

    Thank God those FFVII characters didn’t win again. I’m sick of all the hubbub they still muster on these interwebs.

    I’ll take the L-block anyday.

    I’m glad to see all the enthusiasm over L-Block! Since they’re so predictable, I wasn’t really interested in Character Battle VI, but this was quite surprise. I’m with all of you, long live L-block, I block and Z-block!

    L-Block was a protest vote for me. As was stated above, people (like me) are sick of seeing the same characters dominate every year. They need to freshen it up badly, or discontinue it. :(

    I HATE the Z-block. It always throws those at me when I have no place to put them.

    Ha, this is hilarious. Although a little disappointing, I expected more from Snake.

    I think this happened because people on the internet think not only irony is the great thing ever, but that they are the first person to ever think of every ironic thing.

    You mean a warrior that has foughtten armies, a warrior that has taken on hunderdes with his blades, a guy with explosives and stealth moves…..for a block that just falls from the sky. He doesn’t even have personality. I’m a little disappointed that they are no Mario fans anymore….I would just like to see Mario as victor….once…

    EDIT: It looks like they’s one more battle. Looks like a Mario character might win after all…..
