WOW... I've never complained about a picture before, but Snake just got ****ed. We need to start a petition or something, because Ceej just blew this contest for a lot of people.

meh. both do look kinda lousy, but Ganondorf looks REALLY bad if you ask me.

SHENANIGANS!!!


what is that pic of Snake? is that from MGS4 or what? yeesh. Zelda looks way better. on the plus side, it only says "Snake" instead of "Solid Snake", so he might pull support from both fans of Solid Snake AND Naked Snake. *shrugs*

I love how Snake gets a bad picture every round. at some point, don't you just have to concede that he's ugly?

So most votes are according to pictures,and not according to who the character is?

According to the 2002, 2003, and 2004 stats topics, no. According to the 2005 stats topic, yes.

Scratch that. Chief Mel Gibson? More like Chief Mel Gibson PRESLEY!!! M I RITE??!?!?!

I can see the Mel Gibson resemblence (he actually wouldn't make that bad an Auron in a movie or something), but the Elvis thing is a stretch.

He'll also get anti-votes from people that have a phobia of snakes. >_>;;

Ganon/Auron is not particularly bad, I think. Ganon looks ok, Auron looks strange, but it's got nothing on the monstrosity that is supposed to be Snake, but it actually a zombie...and zelda is....7 again? why not stick to ssbm?

I don't know why CJayC does this sort of thing. There is no way he thinks that is a good picture of Solid Snake. Here is a good match picture I made in like 15 minutes:

Well, Snake reaching the Final 4 is a pipe dream now. If he somehow manages to get past Zelda, there's no way he's beating Bowser with either Solid **** or another MGA pic.

According to the 2002, 2003, and 2004 stats topics, no. According to the 2005 stats topic, yes.

Yes because the stats topic is in all actuality one entity. It's just one supreme being that posts under various usernames to put the topic in motion. Yes, and in the stats topic speaks for every single user that posts in it. No single person ever disagrees with anything said in the stats topic. Become one with the stats topic or you will perish. The choice is yours.

Ugh...I don't like how any of the four look. Auron probably comes off the best because it at least looks like him. Ganondorf is just fuggly. Zelda's...a little weird, but Snake's got nothing in comparison. I think the "Zelda with 55%" train just picked up some steam. :-)

Ganondorf is supposed to look monstrous and ugly.

Auron's supposed to look badass.

I think Ganon has a good look....but Auron needed the pic he had against Cloud.
From: Phediuk | Posted: 8/22/2005 4:16:28 PM | Message Detail
OH MY GOD Snake looks bad. MGA art? This rivals Solid ****, for Christ's sake. If I didn't know better, I would've thought that was another Snake or something.

Zelda looks great, too. She has a damn good chance of winning.

I knew that this whole thing was just solarshadow with a bunch of alt accounts.

I swear this place brings out the worst in people. Not holding myself exempt from that at all, but just thought I should say it.

It's not just pics. I think because the stats topics are filling up so much faster than in the past, we're looking at every little miniscule thing to try to figure out who's going to win. I just think that's... overdoing it, a little.

I do think it's kinda funny that, for the past three years, we say CJay hates Knuckles...then we burst out with claims of CJay hating Solid (though we did last year, too). Good times.

WHAT THE HELL?! Ganon looks ugly as **** there! Auron isn't all hot either, but that's a horrid Ganon picture.

Speaking of horrible pictures.

WHAT THE ****?!?!?!

Zelda looks bad, but Snake...SNAKE GOOD GOD.

I just don't think this match pic will matter. The only way people will pic vote is if they are indifferent towards which side is going to win, and in a match like Solid Snake vs. Zelda, not a lot of people will be lacking an opinion. In any case... We have a guy who looks vaguely zombie-like versus a little girl. Even with LUE on this site, can you really see lots of voters saying "hey, cool pic, I'm votin for the little girl"?

Considering how many people came on here saying Mithos was hot. Yes I can.
From: Sir Bormun | Posted: 8/22/2005 4:26:08 PM | Message Detail
Does Zelda look hot?

She's a LITTLE GIRL. Mithos looked like a teenager, pretty much, and I could see the "she looks hot" reaction. Zelda will only get that reaction from pedophiles.

Are you telling me the pedophile vote is going to beat Solid Snake?

Now, I think Zelda's going to win anyway... but not because of a picture.

Considering how badly Frog bombed against Samus today, I now wonder just how much of a factor Solid **** was last year. I mean, Frog is looking like near fodder today and to get 48% still on a (debatable) Noble Nine member last year?

And I think a lot of the "Mithos looks hot" thing was joke topics. I personally think a lot more of the match reactions and the whining about the contest is purely in jest than most people seem to think.

I was really just joking but Zelda's picture is far better than Snake's. I don't get why everyones calling it ugly. I think she looks cute at the least :P.
From: RPGuy96 | Posted: 8/22/2005 4:29:05 PM | Message Detail
Taking a bit of a break from vacation, and the last three matches (including today's) when exactly as I expected. Mario SFF'd Ness worse than Bowser, Zero got what Zero should get on Lloyd-through-Wesker-through-Luca Blight (whew), and Samus is getting what Samus should get on 2k3 Master Chief. Hopefully the gauntlet is more exciting.

And the pictures are terrible, but none so much as Snake's. I'm changing my Oracle pic to Zelda.

Ganon is just an ugly guy; you can't expect him to have a really cool pic.

Auron looks fine as well.

Yeah, I do think Zelda looks best out of the lot. Don't think that'll help her, though... cause I don't think pic voters are the type that will vote based off of an "Aw..." reaction.

I'm kinda scared if they are.

Well, I certainly wouldn't be all, "DAMMIT! SNAKE IS GOING TO LOSE NOW!" based off of that picture alone. If Zelda wins it'll be for reasons that are not picture based.

I guess Snake must have some sort of immunity against the picture voting so many of us have admitted doing.
