I think it's safe to assume Samus >> Metroid and Pokemon
>>>>> Pikachu, and that Pokemon as a whole is much
stronger than just G/S/C. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

I was very tempted to put my Metroid prediction lower, but using the same % I used for Kirby was just too good to pass up. The wells of knowledge have flown through me. If only I knew in round 1 what I know now! I will pitch a shutout in round 2! --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Taking aside that I love Metroid, with my bracket already burned a few matches ago, I'll say: GO POKEMON! --- “Impossible is a word people use to make themselves feel better when they quit.” - Vyse Currently playing: Zelda: Alttp, Donkey Kong Country, Rogue Squadron II.

Still no perfect 100 prediction percentage. The perfects do the best, but four of them still fell. 95.59% is a pretty high overall prediction percentage for Round 2. Will FF match it?

Pokemon started with 90% against Star Ocean. It ended with 65%. Metroid will end up blowing it out in the end. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |
| Yesmar | Posted 7/18/2006 9:14:10 PM | message detail |

I'm not all that surprised by today's close match. I've always thought
that Pokemon had a solid fanbase here, and Pikachu and
Gold/Silver/Crystal just weren't the best choices to represent it. Still, I can't believe Metroid wouldn't get over 70% on Star Ocean. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

Oh, Metroid will still win. But I get the moral victory. Not really. It's only a moral victory if Pokemon actually makes a match out of it.

Over 47% for Pokemon now! Granted, Metroid's lead is still growing, but nevertheless. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Not really. It's only a moral victory if Pokemon actually makes a
match out of it. As much as I'd love to see that, I ain't bettin' on it. Unless we have some good proof that Metroid kicks ass with the day vote, I wouldn't be surprised if this turned into a 55/45 affair. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa JUST LIKE UR MOM LOLO AND URS TO LALA-Tombolo |

Even if Pokemon loses this is a moral victory. Also I'm starting to think Metroid didn't SFF Kirby after all. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

No, I refuse to nominate any Pokemon. While what the series is doing is
impressive, I don't have that kind of confidence in Mewtwo. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Let's go out on a limb and say that Pokemon somehow pulls it off: Is it a bigger upset than Knuckles/Magus? And how many perfects are left? --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |
