Like, try this. Put anything in for name 1. It will get the same score with Sin as it does with CATS.

The conclusion... (FFX SPOILERS)

Tidus: It can't be...

Auron: It is. Sin is CATS.

Funny how we're all calling Ridley middle-of-the-pack-or-slightly-below. The more I think of it, the more I'm compelled to pick him over Kefka. Then again, I had a very strong gut instinct in Kefka's favor on that one, plus Kefka is pretty much guaranteed to make it to the match, whereas Ridley doesn't. Eggman over Kuja is somewhat appealing to, but... no.

If someone falls just short of a perfect, it will be because of a match in the Ruin division. Mark my words.

BTW, I'm still siding with Ridley in his match against Diablo.

I haven't seen anybody rallying support for Diablo on the boards, but I saw a LOT of that kinda stuff for StarCraft. Besides, I don't think having the same name as his series helps him that much; if it did, then Zelda would've won 2003 easily.

Not to say that Ridley will be particularly strong or anything, but I'm seeing some people that are predicting him to be absurdly weak, which isn't going to happen. If I had to make a rough estimate of his strength, he'd be around Wario. So, just above fodder, pretty much. I wouldn't pick Diablo to beat him, so I'm not picking him to beat Ridley.

I'm picking Bison just so I can be happy either way.

If Albedo wins, one of my favorite villains wins a match. If Bison wins, I get a point.

you people just lack faith in Albedo's ability to regenerate arms.
He could bury M.Bison in punches from 200,000 dead arms.

Dude, Ocelot's insanely popular thanks to Snake Eater.
Liquid's way ahead of bowser in the X-stats, bowser's just adjusted upwards far more than liquid is, is all.

It's a calculated risk.

You laugh because I'm different, I laugh because you're all the same.

Ocelot is very popular.
Have you played Snake Eater?
There are some serious spoilers about Ocelot that aren't the easiest to figure out.
But suffice it to say, there's a bit more of a connection between Ocelot and Tanya than you may realize.

Ocelot ~ Liquid
Liquid > Bowser
Ocelot > Bowser

First off, Ocelot will not be as strong as Liquid. I can almost guarantee this, regardless of whether or not he's been in MGS3. Secondly, Liquid over Bowser is not a for sure thing. I, myself, would take Bowser in such a match. But you're looking a tossup there. So, just to play along, if Ocelot were as strong as Liquid there is still no guarantee that he would walk away with a win.

---
“Booster has such a nice place…I miss my fortress…I miss the good old days…Toadstool screaming in terror, Mario rushing in to save her…”

Bowser is the KING OF PEOPLE WHO TALK TO POSTERS.
Ocelot's some loser with a dumb hand gesture.

Yeah, real hard choice. Ocelot's popularity is very much a board thing. The front-page noms dragged down his seeding a lot. Besides, Liquid Snake may or may not get some help from the clone factor - either way, he's extremely close to Solid Snake. It would be absolute blasphemy to think Ocelot could do the same.

this whole board is gonna feel mighty stupid if Ocelot really is a mere board favotite and falls to Dr. Wily. that would hurt.

---
VOTE FOR ULTROS!!! G'FHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Trivia XIV: MEATWADD SUCKS!!

either way, he's extremely close to Solid Snake. It would be absolute blasphemy to think Ocelot could do the same.

Allow me to play the devil's advocate for a bit...It all depends on what you make of Solid Snake-Frog. Really, it's not THAT farfetched to imagine Ocelot being that strong. He's ever-present throughout the entire Metal Gear Solid series, one whom I would consider to be the overall main villain. Liquid is there in the flesh for one game, and then as...well, Ocelot's arm.

Plus, as mentioned earlier, Ocelot has one thing to draw from that many can't claim: Duality, I like to call it. You may have people who like old Ocelot but not young Ocelot, and vice-versa. If you can get both of them to come together and unite behind him...Who knows?

Either way, Ocelot is more than just a board thing. More than likely, he won't be as strong as Liquid, but I can't see him being lower than...say, around Vercetti.

"It feels as though the raindrops are blessing our victory." - Kuja
"I never trust a Frenchman." - Revolver Ocelot

And Ridley is Nintendo. I think it is rather obvious which one holds the stronger set of characters/games. The other reasoning you provided has been brought up in the past to try at helping other games/characters and the said game/character usually ended up receiving nothing in the way of a boost or lost the match it was involved in.

That is one of the worst analogies ever made. You cannot possibly think Ridley is to Nintendo as Diablo is to Blizzard.
---
It’s square, called the GameCube, and is purple. Sure, that means royalty in Japan, but in America it means Tinky Winky. -Heroic Mario

Well, let's think of it this way:

Bowser = 30.97%
Solid Snake = 33.05%

Predicted: Solid Snake over Bowser with 53.15%.

Let's say Snake has gone up to, say, 34.5%. Now Snake will receive 55.12% against Bowser. We could then say this: If L. Snake apparently could receive 49% against S. Snake (and L. Snake grew proportionally with S. Snake), Ocelot can be 4% behind L. Snake in relation to S. Snake and still have a shot against Bowser. I don't think it's too out of this world.

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Well, it's highly possible that Ocelot and Solid Snake benefitted from Snake Eater while Liquid received nothing from it.
---
"It feels as though the raindrops are blessing our victory." - Kuja
"I never trust a Frenchman." - Revolver Ocelot

Which makes it even more feasible that Ocelot could be extremely close to Liquid Snake, then.

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Guys don't argue about this... It's obvious that Ocelot has no chance. Just leave it at that.

In accordance to the prophecy, Dweebenheimer!

Yes, this is MasterMage119.

Yes, just like Ryu has no chance against Sonic.
