Awesome list. They've pretty much managed to include every female protagonist (I predicted almost half of them being in the list, but Carla Valenti was a wild guess and she made it!) from the major franchises. Good to see 'The Boss' and Claire Redfield in there too.

Well, I can't look at the list right now, reason me being in office!

But if they didn't include Mai from King of fighters or Chun Li from street fighter, then the list is incomplete by faaaaaar!
