I thought about the Kratos/Alucard match briefly, but my gut feeling was that Kratos hasn't been around for long enough to pose a serious threat. Still...the things that happen in these polls never cease to amaze me, so who knows?

ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man?

Well God of War was a big game for a while and Kratos is just plainly described as awesome but i think i made a mistake of having Kratos when the tournament.....yeah, mistake.

right i'm off to bed now.
tomorrow i'm going to scotland,the land of kilts so when i come back could someone tell what were the big incidents that happened?

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Perhaps this is a case of people loving the game but not being particularly attached to the main character. I haven't played any GTA game but I heard people calling CJ rather generic. Anyone know if Vercetti has more personality than CJ in the GTA games?

I've played SA and VC and CJ has way more personality than Vercetti.

I'm actually kinda worried about my Vercetti over Kefka pick now. Hopefully, Kefka chokes like he always does.

Summer 2005 Contest - 1/2 points
Current Match Prediction: Zero vs. Ryu Hayabusa

Well, people do seem to like Vercetti better. I think the lack of a trademark look (like Tommy's Hawaiian shirt) might be hurting CJ's recognizability.

Summer 2005 Contest - 1/2 points
Current Match Prediction: Zero vs. Ryu Hayabusa

We already knew CJ was a large favorite going into this...but did anybody expect him to ever seriously be in danger of losing to Jak? As-is, he's currently doin' worse than Jak...and Ness had linkage from starmen.net against Jak, too; not a big factor at all, but that's still THAT much worse CJ's lookin'.

Which brings me to ask...who all would actually take Jak in a CJ/Jak match? I get the feeling very few would.

...Just imagine if CJ/Jak had been a first round match. That would probably be the first BOP match that NOBODY got right.

I wouldn't have taken Jak before this, obviously, but I'd take the risk now since he's had a new game since last summer, and he's got a new one due out this fall.

I guess Tenpenny was a sign in the villains contest.

And I strived to say it was a sign, but giygas was thrown in my face. =(

SFF'd Giygas was still stronger than Tenpenny though.

I seriously doubt Giygas was SFF'd.

If Bowser SFF'd Ness as badly as he did, then it's not unreasonable to say Ganon got some minor SFF against Giygas. Like last night, I should have clarified I didn't mean alot of SFF.

I keep forgetting about Tenpenny. I wonder whether or not Master Chief would have the strength tp beat Ratchet if it were revealed that he's black. RACISM ON GAMEFAQS.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Even if there was none, Giygas > Tenpenny still. Not enough to solely base your pick on Ness/CJ with, but still interesting to note.

Giygas get 0% of his popularity from SSB, which you can't say for Ness. The hardcore Earthbounders would vote for Giygas, and a lot of the Ganondorf voters didn't even know who that was.
---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

Well, when we take into consideration that a majority of Ness's strength and recognition stems from the Smash series, we can see why Bowser SFF'D the hell out of him. Giygas only has Earthbound, and if the true Earthbound fanbase is as fanatical as I've been led to believe, he likely wouldn't have suffered any SFF.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

What's even more weird is that Tenpenny is possibly the weakest villain in this contest. Coming from the most popular mainstream game on the site...I can't believe I had CJ now.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

At the same time though, Ness had both SSB and SSBM on his side. Bowser was in SSBM, but people try to forget about that since he's not worth anything, heh. Not saying there shouldn't have been SFF in that match, but there was alot in Bowser/Ness...I don't think it was all just Ness's SSB/M fanbase being stripped down.

You would have to think that nearly all of those who played the original SSB knew who Bowser was anyway even though he wasn't in it.

If they're any indication, pretty darn good.


I'll switch to Tenpenny < possibly minor-SFF'd Giygas...but my point all along was that Giygas > Tenpenny. I think he got a small bit of SFF, thus making the spread between them look a lil' bigger (which, assuming there is none, Tenpenny would get 39.34% against Giygas).
