Well, Samus IS a beast. It's just that Sora's really close to Aeris as is, and the possibility of him going any higher means we get dangerously close to rSFF against Aeris.

I'm pretty sure Tifa and Vincent will end up stronger than Riku.

There's always Tifa and Vincent...

I must admit, I always wondered how the hell could Riku not only get in, but with a 4-seed to boot. Hint hint.

I was seriously considering nominating Riku, but I decided I had better characters to give my nominations too. I didn't think he had any chance to get in at all. Now, not only does he get in, but he turns out to be a high-level midcarder, and possibly stronger then his hero. Damn, Riku you've done good.

Actually, this match is looking good to break 90,000 now. Ganon/Yuna is definitely the match to break 100k, methinks.

Something tells me Fisher would win that. I think he's underrated by the stats and wouldn't be too surprised to see him give DK a semi-decent match. Then again, he did need the morning vote to get the lead over Gordon . . .

Fact is Frog and Zero both either appear to be at or below their 2004 Unadjusted levels.

Well, he's already lost to two of them. I don't think he could overcome Max Payne, personally. He's actually decently high fodder.

You mean, he lost to THREE of them. God knows how he lost to Tina, because every bit of stats gathered since then says Gordon should've slaughtered her.

Max Payne. He beat Freeman by a bigger margin than Fisher, and the rest just suck ass.

I'm curious to see if Gordon could beat Tina now. Half-Life 2 VS whatever new DOA games are out now. I think Tina could still edge out another win.

I know Gordon's lost to half of them. I'm just expecting his HL2 boost to be huge. I'm prob overestimating it though.

The only problem is that Half-Life is almost all about the game, like most FPS. Gordon shouldn't reap much of a benefit from it.
---

So MC shouldn't expect much either then, or is HL2 more game > character than Halo 2?

Master Chief actually has a personality though. He's different.

Gordon Freeman is just...there. I don't think they actually show his face in any of the games. Just the cover and official art of the game.

"Why would the boost from AC be bigger than those?" - Mac Arrowny
"Because (Heroic Mario) just replayed Final Fantasy VII." - Lucid Faia

I'm curious. Is anyone around this topic banking on this being the year for Freeman? I mean, Leon can't be that strong, and HL2 should be helpful. I'm still going with Leon, though.
---
I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

Well the main thing people said was that nobody even knows who Gordon is. In HL2 they say his name about every minute so that should atleast help get his name out there.

I mean, Leon can't be that strong, and HL2 should be helpful. I'm still going with Leon, though.

...You're kidding me, right? He's the star of the two most popular Resident Evil games.

And even Jill Valentine in 2004 would beat Gordon 70/30. It's just not happening.

Actually Leon CAN be that strong. Wesker's performance just boosts my faith.

In Halo 2, you actually see Master Chief and you see him talk, etc. In the HL series, you don't even get to see Gordon or hear him talk. Maybe that's why he's been losing so many times...
