Mock Draft - Round 1

Welcome to our first mock draft. Calvin and I have decided to start a league of video game characters. Based off of their performances, points will be awarded.

Here are the categories:

New Game Appearance = +1
Enemy Defeated = +1 per 100 defeated
Appearance on a newspaper/magazine = +1
Level Up = +1
Skill Learned = +1
Language Spoken = +1 per language
Switch sides (good to evil or evil to good) = +5
Weapon = +.1 per different weapon
Item Collected = +1 per 100 items
Vehicle Driven = +.5 per vehicle
Money owned = +1 per 100 units of money collected

Here is the roster breakdown:

1 Male Protagonist
1 Female Protagonist
2 Villains
1 Supernatural (Ghost/Demon/Undead)
1 Animal/Monster
1 Sidekick
1 Comic Relief
1 Utility
3 Bench

Pick #1 - Jared selects Mario - Male Protagonist

To me, this pick is obvious. He represents the entire Nintendo franchise and has appeared in like a billion games ranging from a game where he is a doctor to a game where you have to find Mario cause he's missing.

---

Pick #2 - Calvin selects Samus Aran - Female Protagonist

One of the coolest characters ever and most of the world didn't know she was a woman until very recently. (Now, for some of you.)

---

Pick #3 - Calvin selects Bowser - Villain (1)

The gin in Mario's martini. Tons of appearances. Drives vehicles. Speaks "mwa ha ha "

---

Pick #4 - Jared selects Sephiroth - Villain (1)

The most awesome bad guy of all-time. He makes having a girl's haircut look so good. Honestly he can't be that bad, he just misses his mommy.

---

Pick #5 - Jared selects Master Chief - Male Protagonist [LEAGUE DENIED]

I hate to overload on a roster position, but this guy is too hard to pass up. This guy has gone on plenty of killing sprees, mastered both human and alien weapons, and has no face. Gravity has no effect on him. He's weak against broken shields and rockets to his face, however.

---

Pick #6 - Calvin selects Master Chief - Male Protagonist

Perfect all around character. Items, kills, vehicles and he's got more weapons than an nra after party. Plus he's cute. Done deal.

Nice try cheating, Jared. I was going to choose him way before, but saved him for this round since you already chose a male protagonist! pwned.

---

Pick #7 - Calvin selects Shao Kahn - Villain (2)

The guy steals souls. I know you think "No, that was Shang Tsung." he could do it too. tons of kills. i mean he travels through portals (vehicles) to conquer worlds! he's got a gang of abilities and special moves. his clothes are WEAPONS, for crying out loud! plus he seems just crazy showing up like half naked for a fighting tournament. bonus points for that.

---

Pick #8 - Jared selects Kratos - Supernatural

The "Ghost of Sparta" not only killed the God of War, but he became the God of War. However, since they had to make a sequel to the game, he lost his God status in second game of the series. But don't worry, I'm sure he'll get it back. Kratos is like a mix between Chuck Norris, Bill Goldberg, and a guy with two really big knifes that are attached to his wrists.

---

Pick #9 - Jared selects M. Bison - Villain (2)

How could we forget how difficult and cheap this guy was in Street Fighter II? He was fast, powerful, and impossible to hit (basically the best of three worlds). That corkscrew move that sets you on fire? Yeah, no chance. He's killed Ryu, at least 100,000 times (when I control Ryu, that is) and that's a ton of points for me.

The draft will continue in a future post.
