Would Leeroy Jenkins be eligible for the contest? I mean he is a character in WoW.

They better not pull a Fox in trying to nerf Sheik and end up making her better...

I'll break the neck of every employee at Nintendo if Sheik ends up better.

Hmm... I just thought of a new mini-game we can play in the Stats Topic (in addition to things like TRUE OR FALSE and the traditional prediction percentage guesses before matches). It's called "Quick Without Thinking." Basically, one of us posts a question, and everyone else posts the shortest possible response in a very timely manner. No analyses or explanations. Just a few seconds to process the question and a few key punches. Alright, let's give it a try.

QUICK WITHOUT THINKING: What does Mega Man X score on Star Ocean?

Sheik is actually one of the top characters in SSBM, with Fox right behind her.

How good is Bowser? Considering his popularity around these parts, he must be at least high-tier.

Bowser's actually quite near the bottom. Top 3 (in America) are Sheik, Fox, and Marth.

Apro's Half-Assed Analysis (AHAA)

(I missed AHAA for today's match due to a spur-of-the-moment trip to Santa Barbara for the weekend). Anyhoo, coming up we have a series based off an energy-sucking jellyfish-like creature and a sexy bounty hunter named Samus versus one based off a pink puffball.

*Kirby sucks in Samus and steal's her charge shot*
*Kirby taunts in temporary victory*
*Kirby goes 'Oh ****' as he loses Samus's power*
*Samus blasts Kirby with a super missile*

In short: Metroid SFFs Kirby, reeling in 60% of the vote against an otherwise semi-powerful franchise.

Bowser is garbage. Ganon and Samus > all IMO

I like playing with Kirby too, but he was much better in SSB. Pika and Ice Climbers are also fun.

Not with me. I've whooped people that have had Goldberg like winning streaks with Bowser. Although I prefer Samus too m'self.

Agreed...but some characters are much easier to kick ass with than others. Give me Sheik and Ganon with a side of Ice Climbers, and I'm fine.

Tiers don't really matter though, it's all about the player. But some character's meta-games are higher than others. Some characters have easier match-ups than others.

This poll is going to get 109,000 votes. Pokemon/Star Ocean, DAMMIT

Yo, Ceej, if you're reading this, you can go on ahead and slide the poll back to the crappy position for my tiebreaker's sake. Yeah, that'd be fine.
Phediuk | Posted 7/4/2006 8:57:20 PM | message detail
I'm guessing 77% prediction percentage for Pokemon. I have a feeling that the only people that even had a second thought about his match are board regulars and Square fanboys.
