Owch.
Well, at least M. Bison isn't getting past Ridley/Diablo. Heck, the way he looked in that poll, even Albedo could be a threat.

Well, of course. Kefka isn't winning his division.

Ghaleon>Luca
I don't know enough about Albeido, but I would gather that he would defeat both Ghaleon and Luca. Suikoden II just is too obscure to get casual support. As mentioned, the game did not even sell 100k copies, though from the amount it sold and resold on eBay a good amount of people have gotten to experience what a complete badass Luca is. I will definitely be interested to see exactly how some of these matches break out, because a lot of them are cult stud villain vs. less-than-stellar mainstream villain.

And Ghaleon will definitely be stronger than Luca. I don't even see how someone could view it differently.

He has a pretty good shot, on the contrary. Fact is, the intangible
factor will be on his side. We won't be seeing Lettuce Kefka, nor Dee
Snider Kefka. No, we will be seeing A KEFKA SPRITE. Hopefully the
laughing one.
Now, pictures shouldn't matter that much, but that's the kind of intangible that helps me make a tough decision.

I do wanna say this: should Kefka get to win his division, I want his
sprite pic used against Ganon (again, if he has to), so we could
possibly get an idea of the factor pictures can have.

No. I saw nothing wrong with Snake's picture. So he was in a brown uniform, big deal. And while we're at it, admit you desperately want to say FF10 would've beaten SSBM if it wasn't for that pic.

I'd blame that more on the Solid **** pic than the "awesomeness" of a
16-bit frog. However, maybe we can get a better estimate if Kefka got
to use it against Ganon (or hell, Luca would work if he somehow won and
Kefka got it early).

That picture had very little influence on the overall match. He's had a very similar picture before and performed exactly as he should've.

You are darn right I think FFX defeats SSB:M if a picture that isn't Nintendo vs. Tidus is used!
And no, I am not bitter because Starcraft and SSB:M are the only darn games from Spring I did not get right...

Are people actually having trouble with Albedo vs. M. Bison? I didn't even think twice about picking Bison.

Anyway, onto the Four-Pack of Fugly:
Dr. Robotnik Vs. Sin:
My first instinct says to pick Robotnik, but once again this match is deceptively hard upon closer examination. Tails=2k3 Yuna, right? I hate to play the proportion game again, but I can see Robotnik being closer proportionally to Tails than Sin would be to Yuna. If this was Seymour it would be a different story entirely. However, part of me doesn't wonder if Sin could actually be more popular than Yuna, but then again I also wonder if Robotnik could be more popular than Tails.
Kuja Vs. Master Hand:
I have Kuja winning this match and the match after and personally think he'll win it with around 56-58%, but I would still LMAO if Master Hand won and will be rooting for him all the way.
I've never played FFIX and Kuja seems like a pretty cool villain, but the fact that Kuja fans are getting upset NOW before the match even starts makes me want to see what happens if Kuja actually does lose.
P.S. I thought I read somewhere that CATS was the final boss of Zero Wing. Do you at least get to fight a spaceship that is under his control? To me, that would count as fighting him.
P.P.S I would like to add that FFX would have beaten SSBM had the poll placement not changed. That is all.

Kuja fans are outraged that people actually believe a glove could beat
a legitimate Final Fantasy villain because Master Hand's game is more
popular. Being known and being liked are two completely different
things (why hello there, Pac-Man and Pikachu). Master Hand is a joke
entry if there ever was one, and the voters will treat him as such.

ok, here's some more numbers to throw in your direcection. this here is
the final tally of how many nominations each character that made it in
the contest received from the members of Board 8 (according to Tai's
topic). there were well over 250 total nominations posted. the first
number is how they placed overall in number of nominations (yes, the
missing #8 was Kerrigan) . the second number is the seed they received
(duh. =P). and the last number is the number of nominations they got
from us on Board 8. here ya go:
1. #1 Bowser - Mario Series (83)
2. #1 Ganondorf - Zelda Series (78)
3. #5 CATS - Zero Wing (65)
4. #3 Revolver Ocelot - Metal Gear Solid Series (63)
5. #2 Ridley - Metroid (61)
6. #1 Kefka - Final Fantasy VI (59)
7. #2 Dr. Wily - Mega Man (55)
9. #5 Ghaleon - Lunar: Silver Star Story (43)
10. #2 Liquid Snake - Metal Gear Solid (42)
11. #1 Sephiroth- Final Fantasy 7 (40)
12. #3 Eggman/Dr. Robotnik - Sonic Series (37)
13. #8 Ramirez - Skies of Arcadia (36)
14. #3 Albedo Piasora - Xenosaga (32)
14. #2 Kuja - Final Fantasy IX (32)
16. #5 Albert Wesker - Resident Evil Series (30)
19. #5 Andross - Starfox (24)
19. #4 Luca Blight - Suikoden II (24)
22. #7 Master Hand - Super Smash Bros. (20)
22. #6 M. Bison - Street Fighter II (20)
24. #7 Ultros - Final Fantasy 3/6j (18)
27. #4 Ansem - Kingdom Hearts (17)
27. #3 Lavos/The Time Devourer - Chrono Cross/Trigger (17)
34. #8 Pyramid Head - Silent Hill 2 (14)
38. #4 Sigma - Mega Man X (13)
38. #8 Mithos Yggdrasil - Tales of Symphonia (13)
38. #6 Mother Brain - Metroid (13)
51. #8 Giygas - Earthbound (10)
61. #7 Diablo - Diablo (8)
61. #7 Officer Frank Tenpenny - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (8)
61. #6 Nemesis - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (8)
71. #6 Sin - Final Fantasy X (7)
76. #4 Vergil - Devil May Cry 3 (6)
those bottom two characters make me worry a bit. they had very little support on Board 8 and still made the contest. Vergil even managed to pull his way into a #4 seed, despite 75 other characters receiving more nominations from the contest Board. that means he must've had decent support from the casual nominators. after seeing that factored in, i doubt even further that Ghaleon will have a shot at taking down Vergil.
the other one that really bothers me is Sin. especially when you consider this:
34. Seymour Guado - Final Fantasy X (14)
97. Jecht - Final Fantasy X (4)
despite Seymour getting considerably more support, Sin still somehow made it in over him. most likely, Ceej probably just didn't allow Seymour in. but that means that Sin STILL made it in, despite losing nominations to both Seymour AND Jecht. i scanned through Tai's topic and hardly anyone nominated multiple FFX villains. a couple did, but most stuck with one or the other. that worries me, because Sin's support must be coming from somewhere, and if it gets that many casual nominations, then chances are that it is gonna drag a lot of casual votes too.
be afraid.

Pulling in casual noms does not necessarily translate into casual support. See also: Curse of the Three Seed.

Well, Master Hand is a joke in and of himself, like in the game as
well. He gives me cause to think at least one and a half times, because
it's not as if he was meant to be a serious villain. A gloved hand is a
joke in the game, not just in our contest. So people know he's a joke,
yet nominated him anyway - enough times to get him in this contest.
What worries me is that people will vote for him despite him being a
joke. It's not like a Cats scenario, Master Hand is from a very strong
series, and it is possible that series wanted their villain, no matter
how jokish, in.

The people who nominate make up a very small percentage of those who
actually vote. Getting into the contest doesn't mean people will vote
for you (hello there, Tanner).

the reason's why i'm paying attention to this a bit are: #1 - the
nominations were up longer on Board 8 than on the rest of the site. i'd
bet that Board 8 counted for almost a third of the nominations, while
it only counts for about 1.5% of the total match vote. #2 - Ceej
admitted to screwing around with the seeding last year and the
nominations not matching up with the seeds. in this contest, with much
fewer characters, i believe the seeding more accurately depicts the
total nominations. i mean, Cats a #5 seed? Board 8 had to have
influenced the nominations and seedings to a significant degree.

Don't compare Master Hand to Tanner or SSB/M to Driv3r. I got more respect for ya than that. I like what FastFalcon said; Master Hand may be a light-hearted/jokingly-designed villain...but so is Wario, and MH comes from bigger games. That's NOT to say MH > Wario, but it shouldn't be discredited simply for looking like a less-serious competitor.

Wario is lighthearted and humorous because he's fat and stupid. Not because he's a glove.

You are darn right I think FFX defeats SSB:M if a picture that isn't Nintendo vs. Tidus is used!
I don't agree with that, but we'll never know for sure. All I know or care about is that I called SSBM winning that division.

As for Slow's fear for Sin, understandable...but check this out; Dr.
Robotnik got a 3-seed by our nomination-sample Tai got, and the casuals
kept him at a 3-seed. As for how people likely nominated Seymour and
Jecht alot too, I'd bet plenty of people still nominated Shadow too.
This battle could TRULY be vicious.

It doesn't change the fact that being light-hearted in design doesn't
have to go against you...and if people treat him like the joke
character you say he is and throw votes at him like people do for CATS
or Gordon, hey, all the more support for the votes he's already goin'
to get that you're under-estimating.

HM, can you find the sales for SSB on the N64 please? In America and worldwide both, if you don't mind...
...until then, for as well-sold as SSBM is among Gamecube owners and popular among GameFAQs users, then for as many bonuses you get for playing through the single-player and for how quick and easy the single-player mode can be in both SSB and SSBM...come on. It's obvious MH won't be on par with CATS or Gordon 2k4 (I note that only because I dunno how HL2'll treat him). It's not like MH is obscure or a joke.

You don't have to be obscure to be a joke. Master Hand is little more
than a fight at the end of single player mode in a game beloved for its
multiplayer mode. Sure, they know him, but they have no reason to care
about him.

For what it's worth, these are the characters I think Kerrigan could beat:
Pyramid Head
Nemesis
Ultros
Ramirez
Vergil
Ghaleon
Lavos (though I might be underestimating it. Who knows)
Mother Brain
Yggdrasill
Luca Blight
Wesker
Giygas
Ansem
CATS
Robotnik
Sin
Master Hand
A rough estimate in the stats...Probably around Hayabusa.
