KOS-MOS got a Xenosaga II picture as well. That could work against her.

I love this pic. Magus and Knuckles grinning is awesome.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b24.jpg

Eh, I guess it's a nice Squall pic. Geno pic is expected though.

Luigi/KOS-MOS is really the only interesting one. KOS-MOS definitely could have gotten a much better picture. I feel more confident in Luigi now.

Kerrigan lost the one good arguement for her. Her getting the Broodwar boxart picture. Vincent is going to MURDER her.

Game over Kerrigan. I have no other arguments to make about this match. Kerrigan didn't even get her famed "loading screen" pic that everyone is hyping up about. Watch the Kerrigan supporters admit that pics CAN make a difference when one of their favorite characters finally gets affected by it.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b23.jpg

There's nothing wrong with that picture. Knux looks GREAT! It looks MUCH better than the crappy figurine that Ceej gave him against Kefka and the "mouth at the side of my face" look of Sonic Heroes. Magus gets the standard pic... But it's drawn by Akira Toriyama. He can't POSSIBLY get a bad pic.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b24.jpg

Meh. It's a different look for Squall. It looks like he's actually carrying a gun rather than a sword. Better than him trying to kiss Geno, that's for sure....

Nice pic, but I wonder why Knuckles looks so... angular.

Squall looks devilishly handsome, but Geno's hilarious expression gets my vote.

Awesome pic. Very vibrant and the colors go well together. Luigi looks great, but I say KOS-MOS has the slight advantage here.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b29.jpg

Wow. Conker looks absolutely, positively, undeniably hideous. Mega Man with a standard "I'm here to blast away fodder" pic.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b30.jpg

Leon looks a little fat, but I'll still give him the pic advantage. Pretty good match picture all around.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b31.jpg

What the hell...? Yoshi looks like he was made from construction paper. Laharl, as usual, bares an uncanny resemblance to Flat-Chested Anime Girl Numbers 1-5738927529.

Wow. What a color contrast. The Pac with a clear advantage.

Great Magus picture, good Knuckles picture. I like.

I hate the SMRPG art. Squall has a picture that makes girls, Leonhart, and Heroic Mario want him.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b25.jpg

XD, WTF is that? Jin breaks 25%. This rivals Solid **** for suckiness.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b26.jpg

Eh, Kratos looks too plin compared to Diablo. Diablo also looks like he's about to impale Kratos.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b27.jpg

Great picture. Only thing better would be to give Tifa her AC picture. Vyse got his best pic.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b28.jpg

Wow, a Xenosaga 2 picture that doesn't make KOS-MOS look like crap. She looks great. I also like the fact that it isn't coward Luigi. This could make for an interesting match.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b29.jpg

Mentally Challenged Mega Man vs. Live and Reloaded Conker. Conker has the pic advantage. Hopefully he can break 30% ^_^

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b30.jpg

...Gordon looks like he wants Leon to kill him.

Yuck, more SMRPG art. Laharl looks good and makes me want to play Disgaea.

...I think that's Ocelot in the background. I can't tell. Hopefully this doesn't affect the outcome.

Heh, I actually LIKE the Sonic Battle artwork. It looks Akira Toriyamaish (which is a GOOD thing). Jin stood no chance no matter HOW he looks. Sonic steals the picture anyways.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b26.jpg

Kratos looks cool and all, and I love ToS to death, but he can't possible stand up against a character looking like that who has the name "Diablo".

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b27.jpg

Vyse succumbs to the power of the boobies! TJF at its FINEST. And this is freaking Tifa. Queen TJF herself! She's the strongest TJF bearer this contest will ever see (sorry Samus... you don't count, unless you're justin bailey...).

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b28.jpg

Interesting. Xenosaga II KOS-MOS. Doesn't look as cute as the original. Luigi looks like he's about to get his first piece of booty. Seriously. GO GREEN GUY!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b29.jpg

Standard Mega Man pic. Conker looks okay, but it won't matter much. Ho hum opening Mega Man blow out like we always see. I'm still waiting on a Mega Man X pic. We've seen HYPER MEGA MAN before we see X?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b30.jpg

Gordon Freeman just knows he won't win. Leon looks great. Let's hope he gets the tripling at least!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b31.jpg

Nothing to say about this pic. It's Yoshi... and it's Laharl.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b32.jpg

WTF? Ocelot looks like Santa Claus, minus the beard. Pac-Man DOMINATES the pic. If he ever actually had a chance to beat Ocelot, this would be it...

Official Queen ***** of the Universe!

Now that I've spent some more time with the pics, some extra comments.

Magus/Knuckles = Best of that bunch, and only 2nd to Zero/Ryu as best of the Round.

Kerrigan, Sonic, Mega Man and Yoshi look horrible.

Conker still looks awesome.

If Squall got that pic against Magus, I'd honestly be scared of losing 2 points. It's that good up-close.

Diablo looks like he's ready to feast on Kratos in that pic. He stands out so much, while Kratos is just...there. Big time pic advantage to the Devil.

Tifa is hot in that match pic. Vyse is going to get destroyed.

lol, Luigi gold-digging. I didn't even notice that before.

If Freeman does well, it's because of the HLSF (Half-Life Symbol factor)

Pac-Man has the big pic advantage in his match...
