Maybe it's just me, but I was sure series were inclusive of not only
their games, but the characters featured in those games as well. Squall is my second favorite character, and FF8 is by no means anywhere close to my second favorite game. Sure I enjoy the game, but just because it has a character I love doesn't mean I absolutely love the game. --- Explicit Content Cheer up Emo Kids. |

But seriously, it's easy and very logical to assume that Mega Man is
stronger than his series. He's a legend. He's older than Sonic and has
had almost as much mainstream exposure. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Nope, I can not, and after Mario Kart kicks his series's ass, you won't be able to, either. Simply because it's not fathomable for Mega Man to draw his strength from anywhere outside of his games. If MK beats MM it'll be because of it's own merit, not MM's shortcomings. --- Explicit Content Cheer up Emo Kids. |

Hell, Mega Man's Cartoon > Sonic's. Mega Man had an appearance by ****ing X and Sigma once too. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

Let's not forget that a good number of people that even KNOW Kirby were
introduced via Super Smash Brothers. Sure Samus has the same problem,
but it's to a much greater extent. Add the fact that Metroid's fanbase
of its GAMEPLAY exceeds Kirby's, and you've got what we see here. Who the hell likes Sonic or Mega Man for something other than their games? |

I think Mega Man gets strength from his series.. may explain why MM couldn't SFF Zero, and why Protoman actually got in SC2k4. --- * Is Dranze * |

Yes, but MM is a legend because of his games... it's not as if he took
part of a huge rivalry (ala Sonic vs. Mario) or anything even close to
that. He became a legend because
of his long line of games. There are plenty of characters who have been
around longer than him and I'd argue are bigger icons (Donkey Kong),
but they simply don't have the fanbase just like their games. --- Explicit Content Cheer up Emo Kids. |

Ever wonder on why Mega Man does so well againist fodder. He gets the least amount of Anti-Votes of any other character. Mega Man is well known, people have no reason to hate him, and both Nintendo and Sony fans like him. His games however are not strong. --- Where am I? |

ok, so i'm mostly joking by bringing up Marvel Vs. Capcom, but there
might actually be a small amount of truth to that. i mean, where the
heck else did Servbot, Morrigan (besides her cleavage), and Strider get
their strength from? all were MvsC2 characters that just happened to do
quite well in SC2K2. *shrugs* --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Mega Man is well known, people have no reason to hate him, and both Nintendo and Sony fans like him. His games however are not strong. I agree. Unlike a few of you guys, I think it's very possible for a character to be stronger than the sum of his/her/its parts. It probably isn't the case in most instances, but I do believe it's possible. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

| The number one sentiment I had for Mega Man before I picked up MMAC was resentment (though a lot of that was likely due to him undeservingly beating Snake and Sonic =(). It was only after getting that and playing through the games that I was like, "Oh, so this is why people like this guy." |

But seriously, it's easy and very logical to assume that Mega Man is stronger than his series. Or maybe Mega Man and his series are at the same strength. There could just be series that are a lot more popular. Just because Mega Man is one of the most popular characters here doesn't mean that his series is one of the most popular. I never agreed with the whole FFVII would get 55% on Link bull. The Legend of Zelda would trounce Link, without SFF. If Cloud and Sephiroth alone can be so strong, FFVII is probably way stronger. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

The Legend of Zelda would trounce Link, without SFF. Obviously, but that's not really what I'm referring to. In a contest, I simply feel that Mega Man the character would have more strength than the classic Mega Man series. You know, comparatively. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Yeah, because that's exactly what is happening here with Kirby... Pretty much this whole discussion was focused on how that would be true for Mega Man, but not for Kirby. The discussion started with people saying how Kirby gets strength from other sources like Smash Bros., then became about how Mega Man does not. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Obviously, but that's not really what I'm referring to. In a
contest, I simply feel that Mega Man the character would have more
strength than the classic Mega Man series. You know, comparatively. Well yeah, but that's because there are so many gaming series that are above Mega Man's, so it makes him look weaker overall. When it comes to characters, there aren't really that many more popular characters so he practically has to be elite. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

It probably isn't the case in most instances, but I do believe it's possible. So do I... like Kirby for example. But I don't think Mega Man is anywhere even close to that. --- Explicit Content Cheer up Emo Kids. |

| It's also funny to see Mega Man and Sonic compared to Kirby when they in all reality are more comparable to Samus. Before Metroid Prime came along, what made Metroid such a powerful property over Mega Man or Sonic games? Super Metroid? Don't make me laugh. It simply wasn't. |

Well its pretty obvious that Zero > Mega Man X and he isnt even the
main character of the game. So why cant Mega Man be much greater than
Mega Man the series? --- Where am I? |

There was a reason Samus went head to head with Sonic in 2k2.

laugh. It simply wasn't. Not much; the 2002 match with Sonic kind of proves that, though. However, I doubt I'd take any Sonic or Mega Man games over Super Metroid. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Super Metroid? Don't make me laugh. It simply wasn't. I think you underestimate Metroid pre-Prime. Super Metroid probably would've been able to challenge, if not beat, any Sonic game back then.
