I remember in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (which is a better Sonic game than all but one of the Genesis games), he was called both names on different occasions.

I don't remember him ever being called Robotnik in SA2B.

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Gerald robotnik and that City screen where he has all that "Eggman is so great. Eggman is wise." stuff said Robotnik but he was never called Robotnik.

BANG BANG BANG VIPER BEAM!

I think I remember him referring to himself as Ivo Robotnik when talking about his grandfather, but my memory is a little hazy. I do know for sure that the name Robotnik made an appearance. "Eggman" is just a nickname. I don't think it will really matter in this contest, anyway.

Eggman is what the Japs call him. Dr. Ivo Robotnik is the American name for him.

Diablo will not disappoint, especially with a rumored e3 Diablo III announcement.

Anyone care to hook me up with a site about this? I am really interested in Diablo III. Wanna find out if it truly exists or is someone made it up.

Ridley's Road to Victory - Round 1 vs. (7) Diablo

Just to compare, Bowser vs. Guybrush had 6400 votes at ~1:55. Bowser vs. Pyramid Head has 4405 at the same time. BvG ended up with 74383, so this isn't looking good for the current contest's vote totals. I'm glad I kept my tiebreaker low.

Bowser vs. Guybrush wasn't the first match of the year. And since this is the smaller more overlooked contest people probably don't remember that it's starting today especially with the date change. THe vote totals will be normal.

Surprisingly, Bowser vs. Pyramid was at 79.99% to 20.01% What does this say about Bowser or Pyramid if it says anything at all? o_O;

so, face shots for Round One, eh? i guess the Sweet 16 will remain sprite pics, then. and that would mean the Elite Eight would be the really sweet battle pics. does that mean that Kefka will actually get his final boss pic in the Elite Eight!? i think it does. ^_^

It's been in Gamespot's latest rumor column. Apparently the music for the game is entirely done. I wonder how they're going to top Diablo 2...

Okay, today's match.

Pyramid Head is doing quite well, actually. Just a lil' lower than Guybrush isn't anything to be ashamed of, considering Guybrush at least has, you know, a cult. Pyramid Head has... Inviso?

Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily in 2k5
Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the contest-hype.

Also, HM. You really think M. Bison is a top 5 SF character? I'd take Akuma, Guile, Ken, Chun Li, and Ryu over him.

Guile? Hell no. Maybe back in 1991 - 1995 I would have done so, but certainly not at this point. And all of the ones Chichiri mentioned would not even come close to topping Bison. Although the top 5 order would be.

Ryu > Akuma > Ken > Chun-Li > M. Bison.

Vega absolutely belongs over Bison...far cooler character, one i use well also, and has great stage music!

I think I'm going to puke. <.<

---
“If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.”

Wily = Protoman, maybe a tad higher.

You couldn't get me to believe that if you tried. You're comparing a main villain of the series to someone who is in and out in a matter of seconds most of the time.

---
“If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.”

Now, finally, Bowser is doing about how I expected him to today by getting over 80%. I expected he would be doing a tad better, but his lead should increase over the day. It's good to see that we have some headshots for the first round this year.

---
“If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.”

I was the one who said that Epona would beat Vyse. I stand by it too. I even went as far as making the match pic for it. Few can stand the awesomeness of Epona. Dead serious.

I had thought Leonhart said it too though; I know there was more than three of us talking about it...but you made a pic of it? He he he, I haven't seen it.

I think my tie-breaker was about 55,000 (I'd have to check Ngamer's topic to see and make sure)...and it's lookin' alright right now. Of course, the vote totals will go up as it goes on though.

Oh, I wasn't the only one talking about it. I was trying to gather enough support for Epona to actually be able to get her into the contest. I know Leonhart refused to do so, although there was general agreement that Epona wouldn't be a joke character. I made the pic, but I never posted it... it's sitting here on my comp.

Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily in 2k5
Meanwhile, let's pray I pass my finals.....

If you look at every final we've ever had, the winner has scored between the 60,000-65,000 range. I don't see how this contest would be any different, even with a ~65,000 vote total in the first match.

I'm expecting ~105,000 votes in the final, and I also expect Ganondorf to make a serious push at breaking 40% on Sephiroth once he's there. That's why I went with a tiebreaker in the 63000 range.

Cammy wouldn't beat Bison? You're stonned out of your mind, HM.

Oh, and just to let you know, since you're about clueless, when it comes to fighting games, with the exclussion of Soul Calibur, GameFAQs voters don't appear to be aware that there even were any after 95.

Depending on your definition, SSB/M too fits the exception there too. Meanwhile, I don't know the entire SF-tier-thng in favoritism, but I know I'd take Vega over M. Bison (mentioned sometime yesterday).

"Depending on your definition,"

Indeed, depending on my definition.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

I would definitely take Vega > M. Bison > Guile. Also, I agree that Epona would beat Vyse, and she would in no way be a joke character.

And Wily = Protoman? No way José. Wily is leagues ahead of Protoman. In the video games alone, Wily is the final boss in all 8 originals. Protoman appears significantly in MM3, a little in MM5, and makes a cameo in MM8. In the cartoons, I might agree that Wily = Protoman, but how many voters would base their vote solely off the cartoons? (I.e. have never played the games). Wily also appears in a flashback in MMX4 if I'm not mistaken.

For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener

Dr. Wily > Protoman, no mistake about it guys. How much stronger, well...we'll see. Plus, we don't even know where Protoman ranks in the stats, so W>P is still very vague.

Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily in 2k5

For Street Fighter characters I'd go Ryu>Akuma>Chun Li>Bison>Ken.

Ken's really more of a heavly reconized character, he's sucked or hasen't been all that good in most games and he's design's not all that orginal.

Well, I got Bowser going to the Final Four then loosing to Seph while Ganondorf takes down Diablo. I am now starting to think that putting Diablo > Kefka may have been a mistake. Good thing I'm not going for prizes this year. ;-]

"How many times must the bandit prove himself a hero...before he too believes it?" - Xavier to Gambit

I'm skeptical about Wily > Protoman. Sure, Wily has been involved more, but I think most would find Protoman 10 times more appealing as a character than Dr. Wily. Myself included, actually.
