Noble Nine

The Noble Nine
The Noble Nine are an elite force consisting of nine of the most popular video game characters EVER. They always perform well in the GameFAQs character contests. The most notable fact about this elite group is that NO member of the Noble Nine has ever been defeated... except by another member of the Noble Nine. Over the course of six tournaments, this has still held true; they have extended their streak to 116-0 against outside competition.
