>Samus Aran
So who is the third most iconic female protagonist? By the way supporting characters like Tifa, Peach or Zelda doesn't count

Both of them and my dick
Tifa
kill yourself coomer
None are on the same level as Samus or Lara.
I wanna say Joanna Dark gets third, but man, she's old as fuck.
sauce
Yuricuck
Probably Jill Valentine. Also, fuck off with that "Peach/Tifa doesn't count" bullshit.
Tifa is just a potential love interest, not even the best one in her game
This.
It's Jill.
Fuck yo thug
Blaze Fielding third.
>not even the best one in her game
OH NO AERITH LOOK OUT
Chun Li is #1
Lara Croft and Mai from KOF share the #2 spot depending if your from the West or the East.
#4 Ms. Pac Man
#5 Princess Peach
#6 Carmen Sandiego
#7 Jill Valentine
#8 Kitana
#9 Sonya Blade
#10 Ellie from the Last of Us
Most people don't know Samus is a woman
It's Lightning
Bayonetta
Isn't Samus trans?
>Samus
>Croft
>Chun Li
These are the big three, nobody else comes close
>Jill
You can beat an entire RE 1 without ever playing as her and Nemesis is just a gaiden game
If we are talking strictly protagonists, 2B is more iconic than Samus and Lara now.
But if we are talking most well-known female video game character, it'd be Peach or Zelda. And if we were talking most popular, it'd be Tifa.
I always considered Kerrigan from Starcraft to be pretty iconic and recognisable for normies.
You don't know what you're talking about weeb
>Shadman
jesus, user, kys
Fighting thots don't count, because those games feature many playable characters with no defined protagonist
How so? Samus has had one game in the last ten years that was released on a dying system with a middling response at best. She's only known because of Smash now days. And Lara is a shell of her former self that no one cares about. Meanwhile 2B is THE face of cosplay and probably the most popular video game girl since Tifa. Her game is also much more recent while actually having mattered.
This is probably the right answer
>Chunners
Hmm, Jill might give her a run for her money but that's a fair contest. Mai isn't running her own show the same way Lara and Samus do, though.
2B's a fine up and comer but again, not running her own show like Lara and Samus have been doing for decades now, and even if Metroid has waned in relevance because Nintendo doesn't know what the fuck they're doing with it Samus is still arguably the first major female protag in vidya.
Ms pacman
More like Lara Soft and Anus Aran, am I rite?
No. Get off of The Mary Sue.
We'll have to see if 2B appears and can sell a Nier sequel before she's put in the top 5, she could end up like Harley Quinn just really hot at the right time but unable to replicate her success.
the thing about 2B is that she only has one game
>amerifats
disgusting
those are the best parts though
My wife
Would desu.
>like Harley Quinn
You mean the character that has practically usurped both Joker and Batman?
Saber from Fate series.
I have a mighty need to squish.
>Revolver
>On Lara Croft
Third Place is definitively Jill

I would still bang both.
>hates pudge, loves girl rail
You're a vexing individual, and probably a BONG.
That was kinda my thinking when I excluded Princess Zelda
Ban incoming. R.I.P in peace blessed user.
Just look at Suicide Squad porn vs Birds of Prey no contest mate
Chun-Li, for fuck's sake.
Harley was already popular long before Suicide Squad though
She is an iconic character, but not a protagonist, can you honestly call Street Fighter a Chun-Li's game? No, she is just one of many playable characters
Talking about how she's now more likely to be chosen as the face of DC over Batman
Heather from Silent Hill 3
blaze fielding
>#10 Ellie from the Last of Us
It was an okay list until this pick.
this is what ethots look like without 12lbs of makeup and trigonometrical calculated camera angles
Jill Valentine, obviously.
I'm so hard
Not a good list at all but I'll give you that Carmen Sandiego would make a pretty solid pick alongside Samus and Lara
It was 2012, a completely different atmosphere back then.
>Samus Aran
Literally who?
Why do Metroid feminists think this bitch is more well known than Cammy, Chun Li, Jaina Proudmoore,etc?
Already picked and I wholeheartedly agree.
