you just need more experience with dating women that wear a powersuit
sinnce your taking this discussion to such a level, i'd definitely pick Samus over Lara.

besides...

look at Link, he agrees

Lara is the most famous and iconic female character in the history of computer gaming by a wide margin. She appeals to the teen boys who waggle their joysticks at her in their millions. She is the girl next door who has been blessed with perfect balance and poise and grace despite being top heavy.

Peach is a whining and perpetual victim who would starve to death if Mario wasn't around to open jars for her. She reminds me of all those helpless women in the movies who either:

a) Sprain their ankle when trying to run away. The hero male then has to carry the poor "girl" to safety.
b) Stay in one spot screaming and crying till macho man arrives and rescues them.

im all honesty, lara croft would win a nationwide vote, simlpy because people have heard of her [lara croft -tomb raider] movies. i know people 'want' samus to win because they like her but thats not what the poll is asking...
meh...i want girl in white pants in the poll still! [scrol down to see what i mean]

For that reason Lara Croft is far more influential than any other female game character.
Why isn't Ms. Pacman on the list?

If i showed a picture of lara and samus to a whole bunch of people, I can bet that nearly all of them would know lara, but only a few at the most would know samus, probably not even at all.


Well, Samus was around long before Lara Croft, but the way Croft is promoted, I think you are right. Croft would be seen as an iconic figure more so than Samus.

It was hard to pick between Peach and Zelda, but since Peach is older and belongs to a more older game, Peach is a go.
