If Pokemon has more of the brackets than MMX my head is going to explode. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Geez, these votals are...crazy. How many matches do you think we'll
have where we don't hit 100,000 votes. I'm inclined to say tomorrow's
match, Fire Emblem/Silent Hill, and...uh... On another note, what do you think the final votal in GTA/Warcraft will be? |

If Pokemon has more of the brackets than MMX my head is going to explode. Get some napkins ready then. I'm foreseeing another Kirby/Ramza or Dante/Terra where there's a vocal upset crowd on the board, but the winner absolutely smashes the other when it comes to casual predictions. --- "Dropo!

You don't think Metroid/Kirby will get 100K? I definitely think it will, I agree with you on FH/SH though. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

I just noticed that so far today's match has had higher vote totals
than yesterday, and while I think Star Ocean is more popular than
Suikoden, it's not a huge gap. Which means Pokemon is doing extremely
well, even with a picture disadvantage. That's it, I've made my mind up. If I win the Guru contest, we will see the triumphant return of PIKACHU! --- ~Proudly Supporting Pokemon's 10% overperformance on Star Ocean!~ |

It could be a lil' over 100,000...or it could be close to 200,000. It
depends on the rallying, though I'm thinkin' it'll have the highest
vote-total of this round at, say, 125,000. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Whoa, this match has 106k votes? THIS MATCH?! If Pokemon can draw
100,000 this easily, I think the only match that will fail to reach
that milestone is Fire Emblem/Silent Hill. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

| I see Metroid/Kirby as being a Bowser/Kirby in terms of total votes. Good competitors, but because they're both Nintendo they get an abnormal amount of votes. |

For what it's worth, I would like to see a Pokemon/MMX match. I have no

Im not but I do think MewTwo could be the next strongest character
after Link, Mario, Samus, Bowser, Ganondorf, Zelda, Kirby, Luigi, Doney
Kong, and Yoshi. Maybe Peach, but I think there is a legit chance that MewTwo could beat Fox and Ness. --- Where am I? |

I actually wouldnt be shocked if Pokemon could break 40% on Mega Man X. I still think Star Ocean > Suikoden. --- Where am I? |

Why wait for a match that completely revolves around SFF? Simply because Pokemon has a good match against a series that may as well be crap (I know I was arguing against this before, but I didn't think it was as crappy as it was, still crap though), doesn't mean people should suddenly be calling for Pokemon to be some kind of strength house where Mewtwo is going to be contest gold. Plus, I don't know how much SFF will really go on, everyone knows Metroid is no powerhouse when it comes to SFF, and Pokemon is a completely different type of series than Metroid. It's an rpg against a side scroller/adventure FPS. Sure they're both Nintendo, but if Samus can't SFF things that it's stronger than in the Nintendo series, that has a much stronger connection to it, then why would it SFF Pokemon? --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

OKAY, you people are high on Pokemon now. Hey, Star Ocean may be weak, but Pokemon is still almost doubling it. It very well could be legit as a series; I just wish we'd have a better opportunity to find out. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Mewtwo would be below all of those mentioned. Now, a Mewtwo/Wario match could be fun..... --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Look MewTwo should enjoy the same benefits as Ness and Fox from SSB and
Im not completely sure that Pokemon couldnt beat the Star Fox and
Earthbound series in a straight up match. I mean Earthbound BARELY
finished ahead of G/S/C who was burried behind SFF. --- Where am I? |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 7/4/2006 8:21:21 PM | message detail |

Uh, yeah Pokemon could beat Earthbound. Thing is, that's not where Ness gets his contest strength from. And Mewtwo/Wario becomes uninteresting the moment SSBB comes out. Hell, Mewtwo might not even make it in the game. |

I have played Baldur's Gate II. In fact I just beat it 3 weeks ago. Only took me two and a half years...started in Jan. 04 according to my earliest save. Then I stopped in July 2004 because I didn't have the time to play games anymore (didn't realize it had been quite that long a hiatus). So it took just under 3 years to beat the series (started and finished BG1 from Aug 03-Sep 03). They've been the only non-multiplayer games I've really played in that time. Heh. BGII took me five years to finish... basically, there were two or three different times when when I was basically stuck and stopped playing for a looong time. The first was in chapter 3, when I was trying to do some side quest, and there was a glitch where a certain character wouldn't talk to me. The other one I remember was in the underdark, when I kept getting killed by some Ulitharids. I finally beat it around 6 months ago. It was a good game, though. --- Nominate Aeris for SC2k6 |

Cheap Way to win in BGII. Summon Creatures just outside the sight of a boss. Have them run in and fight him. Rest. Repeat. --- Where am I? |

| Sakurai has stated a few entrants from Melee won't be appearing in Brawl. I'm sure of a few (lol Pichu), but Mewtwo may very well be on the chopping block. |

I think Mew-Two will make it, but Pichu and Jigglypuff are gone. Maybe put in a different pokemon to replace Jigglypuff. --- Where am I? |

Depending on tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon broke 40%. --- ~Proudly Supporting Pokemon's 10% overperformance on Star Ocean!~ |

OKAY, you people are high on Pokemon now Indeed. This match doesn't speak to me of Pokemon's strength; rather, it's Star Ocean's horrible, horrible weakness. Mewtwo, who would be the strongest Pokemon, would still end up being in the area of fodder. No reason to get all crazy just because Pokemon's beating Star Ocean. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Look MewTwo should enjoy the same benefits as Ness and Fox from SSB Oh, look, just like Pikachu, and he was a starting character in both SSB and SSBM. Mewtwo was a secret character in SSBM... ...don't make this a "secret" debate though; it's much more that Pikachu is in both games in the SSB series, and he's still weak. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun?

We all know the reason why Pikachu is weak. I think this match proves
that people dont anti-vote Pokemon (well much), they anti-vote Pikachu. --- Where am I? |

I actually would bet against Jigglypuff being cut. She has one of the
most original (and best) movesets, and is one of the original Smash
Brothers from the N64. She probably stays as tradition. Mewtwo was worthless in SSBM though, and not worth the time it took to get him. I won't be shedding any tears for his cut. |

I think Mew-Two will make it, but Pichu and Jigglypuff are gone. Maybe put in a different pokemon to replace Jigglypuff. Didn't you know? Jigglypuff is the most popular Pokemon in Japan. I'd be very sad if Jigglypuff left, since she's my favorite character. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Match IV: (2) Metroid vs. (7) Kirby Games in series Metroid (NES, 1996) Metroid II: Return of Samus (GB, 1992) Super Metroid (SNES, 1994) Metroid Prime (GC, 2002) Metroid Fusion (GBA, 2002) Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA, 2004) Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GC, 2004) Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS, 2006) Kirby’s Dream Land (GB, 1992) Kirby’s Adventure (NES, 1993) Kirby’s Dream Land 2 (GB, 1995) Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996) Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (SNES, 1998) Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (N64, 2000) Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA, 2002) Kirby Air Ride (GC, 2003) Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (GBA, 2004) Analysis: To finish off this division we have an all Nintendo match that looks really good on paper, but will most likely be another boring match. In Metroid you play as Samus, a bounty hunter and your mission is to defeat the Space Pirates led by Ridley and destroy the new life form called Metroid. These Metroids are parasite type creatures that suck the life out of other life forms. In Kirby you play as Kirby as he stops the evil of King Dedede and bring peace throughout Dream Land. To do this Kirby has the ability to suck enemies up and steal their powers and use it against King Dedede’s forces. Like I said this match looks good on paper, but Metroid is higher than Kirby on the Nintendo hierarchy. Also Kirby is one of those series that was really big during the 1990’s, but has died off since then. Metroid on the other hand had a break during the Nintendo 64 era, but came back over the past few years and even though there are some people from Classic Metroid that hate the Prime games there are also some who really like the direction the series took. The only question is whether or not Metroid could SFF Kirby and if so by how much? The Nintendo matches Samus has been in were against Ganondorf and Mario. Against Ganondorf Samus didn’t really SFF him, but that may be because Zelda > Metroid in the Nintendo hierarchy, but Kirby was also able to avoid SFF against Bowser during that same contest and we all know Mario series > Kirby series. Maybe Kirby still has the strength to avoid SFF after all these years. In the end I think there will be some SFF, but it won’t be huge like Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but still some that people will notice. As much as the board wants a close match they are going to have to wait for a few more matches because this one won’t be one. charmander6000’s Bracket: Metroid over Kirby charmander6000’s Prediction: Metroid wins, 65.72% - 34.28% --- "I was trying to escape.

Though I'm no fan of Mewtwo in SSBM or Pokemon, I think he should stay
because -- with a redone move-set -- he has potential to be very
bad-ass in SSBB and still has its share of people who liked him in SSBM. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |
