The Noble Nine were an elite force consisting of nine of the most popular video game characters EVER. They always performed well in the GameFAQs character contests. The most notable fact about the elite group is that until Winter 2010 NO member of the Noble Nine had ever been defeated in a 1v1 environment... except by another member of the Noble Nine. This held true over the course of six and 1/2 tournaments, as they extended their streak to 124-0 against outside competition. The Noble Nine's winning streak officially ended on Valentine's Day 2010, when Crono was defeated by Missingno in the first round of the Winter 2010 Character Battle.
