And the Sonic/SSB picture is second only to Snake/Sora. That s awesome for both sides. I was one of the people last round saying this match should be more debated. But you know, with Link+Mario sprites, I can't imagine SSB doing anything but winning comfortably. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

IMO Final Fantasy VS Megaman is even better. Megaman VS OLD SCHOOL Final Fantasy. And we all know that Zelda VS FF will be Tingle and Navi VS Cait Sith and Quina :) --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

SSB's picture is weird to me, maybe because it's characters in their
natural games and not in Smash Bros. that picture looks like Nintendo
vs. Sega, not Sonic vs. SSB. Yeah...exactly. It's a very one-sided picture I think. It might be good for Sonic, but it's amazingly awesome for SSB. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I have to seriously doubt the picture allowing SSB to win comfortably.
That makes it seem as though it has a very advantage in the picture,
and it just really doesn't. Both sides are represented very well. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Wow Thank God I didn't come here before I submitted my bracket or I would have 3 loses instead of being perfect. Amazing that the only 3 matches so far that I was worried about (All 3 of which I started to doubt my pick came here), the guru's got them all wrong. Not only just wrong but every single guru got them wrong. So the Guru's are now 0-3 on tough matches. I really hope everyone picks Sonic and Street Fighter. |

Pssh, the last time I remember Mario and Link getting sprites in a
debated match Crono got killed and Link got ultra-overperformed on.
Sonic/Tails/Knuckles CANNOT FAIL! XD at Mario about to bowl through all the WC guys with the shell. Not even fair. And hell yes, MEGA MAN 7!!! And FF1 representin' over there, too. Time to see how FF performs without FF7 in the picture. <.< --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

The Mega Man vs. Final Fantasy is the one that's a good pic for both
sides. That's a very fan-service type picture, he did a good job on
that one. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

What is that in the Warcraft picture anyway? I never played the games. ...and is that a Mega Man background? Not that it matters at all, but why do Sonic and Mega Man get "home field"? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

that's an awesome MM picture and I've never even played MM7... but at
the same time it's FF1. you could put Snake from the Snake/Sora picture
against FF1 sprites and I'd still like FF1's side more. I'm stupid like
that. --- yzzyx |

The lower seeds seem to be getting more 'home field' representation for
some reason, although Ceej is attempting to blend the backgrounds. Just
check Metal Gear/Fire Emblem, Pokemon/Metroid, or even today's match to
see. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Lol at the SMB/Warcraft picture. Also, that Sonic/SSB picture is more
like Sonic vs Zelda, Mario, and Metroid, which isn't very fair. Those
sprites aren't from Smash Bros... --- Can't think of a good sig. |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse21.jpg Very nice touch, even if WC's side blows. I don't mind the pic heavily favoring Mario >_> http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse22.jpg Great picture. Second best of the round in my opinion, next to Pokemon/Metrod. http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse23.jpg Good pic for both sides.

My expert impressions of the pictures: Mario/Warcraft. So Ceej went with Warcraft 2. Awesome. I'm a big fan, but I wonder how many of those millions of WoW subscribers have even played it. Good game, mario. Sonic/SSB. Okay, is it just me or is this Sonic 3 vs Super Metroid, Link to the Past, and... is that Mario 3? It's an interesting idea, but ouch to Sonic... Megaman/FF. BASS!!! This picture rocks house on so many levels. --- Sousuke!! |

Sonic/SSB. Okay, is it just me or is this Sonic 3 vs Super Metroid,
Link to the Past, and... is that Mario 3? It's an interesting idea, but
ouch to Sonic... Those are actually Sonic Advance sprites, which are probably the Sonic Team's coolest looking sprites. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I've had this feeling all day that Mario is going to just annihilate
Warcraft as well, even before I saw that picture. I dunno, I'll check
the WoW forums before coming to a judgment, because they're probably
going to be most of WC's votes. --- yzzyx |

You're almost as annoying as illumina with this. I'm really going to enjoy seeing you go down. Oh I'm definitely gonna go down. I picked Zelda>FF :(. Also the amount of confidence and arrogance the guru's had with these 3 pic was crazy. They acted they there's no chance it could be wrong and many attacked people that chose the opposite.

Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts was the board's favorite BY A LANDSLIDE,
you just sound more and more ridiculous. The gurus don't speak for all
of us, and I'm willing to bet the average turns out monstrously in
their favor if you start going back a few contests. There's only so
much skill that goes into making a perfect, which is why it's so
satisfying to see fedor-esque bracketmakers go down. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Well Warcraft was able to rally a good 10k votes in against GTA and
that was in less than a day most likely. Imagine what they can do on
the WoW forums in a week and a half. Ofcourse Warcrafts victory over GTA may have been due to the match being on a tuesday and WoW servers being down for half of the day. Either way i dont think nearly enough rallying could possibly take place to save WC from the juggernaut that is SMB. It IS however likely that we'll see a new high vote total for the contest. I guess the only question left for me is, will the WoW players do enough rallying to keep SMB from completely smashing WC, or will they be too engrossed in their digital world to even remember the gamefaqs contest. --- "Oh, and anyone who says they haven't tried their semen once is lying."

Oh man, Mario/WarCraft looks terrible, especially compared to the next two. Sonic/SSB is AWESOME. Looks excellent, though Link/Mario/Samus seems to give SSB quite the advantage (good for my bracket) FF/Mega Man is odd, seeing as how the picture is backwards according to the bracket, but it's still cool nonetheless. MM has the pic advantage, but it's FF. --- Moltar Status: Disappointed, I lost my perfect bracket. Castlevania vs. Kingdom Hearts - Bracket: KH - Vote: KH (20/22) |

Steve. At least he has a reason to boast. The only upsets (by the board's standards, anyway) that have occurred were Castlevania over Halo and Warcraft over GTA. Many people knew that Castlevania was a very viable, solid risk, and many more thought it would be close. Yes, a ton of us were overly confident and annoying in our bashing of Warcraft prior to its match, and we got owned. However, most of us were professional enough to admit to the owning. It's really not that big a deal. However, there's no chance in hell that anyone in this topic has been more annoying than steve illumina. Twenty-one guaranteed wins in a row is a great feat, but it's no reason to act like you're the king of all contests, because it has been outdone. |
