Jak's Contest History

Who is Jak?
Aided by his best (and oft annoying) friend Daxter, Jak stars in his own platformer series for the Playstation 2, a series where Jak and Daxter uniquely team up to use various abilities that conjoin both of their skills in order to save the world time and time again from evil. The series began as a softhearted, fun game that appealed to gamers of all ages, but it has evolved into a series with a serious storyline, albeit one with gameplay still fit for gamers of all ages.

Jak is reportedly making his final gaming appearance in the acclaimed Jak 3, a title in which the series is given various elements both new and old. Hopefully it won't truly be Jak's final title, for he will truly be missed in this case.

"Daxter: Hey baby! Why don't you and I go cruisin' on this A Grav Zoomer? Kiera: Rule number one, I don't date animals... Daxter: Ah, you don't know what you missin'!"

Jak's Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 0-2

Summer 2004 Contest - Midgar Division - 11 Seed
 * Midgar Round 1 --- Lost to (6) Ness, 32733 [44.92%] - 40130 [55.08%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 48th Place [17.20%]

Despite the amazing sales of Jak's series, he has appeared in all of one contest, and consequently one contest match. It was not a good one. Platformer character, especially newer ones, simply do not do well in GameFAQs polls, regardless of game sales. Jak is one of many examples of this, and for such a character to succeed, such a contest would have to appear on another site, or said characters would need some of the most favorable seeding on earth. As the GF popularity currently resides, platformer characters are among the most unpopular around, and most of them will be lucky to even make the field next year, let alone do well.

Summer 2007 Contest - Division 4 - Fourth Group
 * Division 4 Round 1 --- 4th place, 24030 [18.92%] - Zero, 50230 [39.56%] - HK-47, 27044 [21.30%] - Lloyd Irving, 25863 [20.22%]

Once again, Jak was placed in a seemingly winnable position, and once again, he failed to take advantage of it. Sure, he may be the most popular modern platformer around, but it still hasn't gotten him anywhere. His performance this year should certainly prevent anyone from picking a modern platformer to win a match against anyone but bad fodder (which would include the rest of the modern platformers).
