XD, AKJ, I'll be there in 5 seconds. Firstly: Hi. I was wondering if you would use a collaberation of Villains in Round 3 of the contest? You could even use a combination of sprites and CGI, though I can see this might be difficult. It'd also be an opportunity to see some people never before seen in a contest setting. The pic for Final Fantasy vs. Resident Evil especially provides a lot of options - Sephiroth, Kefka, Ultimecia, Seymour, Kuja vs. Albert Wesker, the Tyrant, Saddler, William Birkin, Alfred Ashford, etc etc. I just think it would work really well, as villains are a lot of the time great characters, and we've already had the heroes. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz dad wat are u on i just cant my mash |

SFII is losing to Resident Evil: Gaiden. A game most RE fans don't even count in the series. A small price to pay for one of the worst match pics ever. At the moment, anyway. --- "If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything." |

I hope Ceej doesn't do a villain themed round. If SpC2k5 taught us anything, it's that people don't care about villains. --- Nominate Aeris for SC2k6 |

There is no shot of a SF comeback, correct? Meh, although I prefer RE,
it would've been nice to see myself on the leaderboard for a short
while. :P --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

Sure there is, there's only a 700 vote difference. A couple of big gains from SF and it's right back in there. --- "If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything." |

Match 25 - Legend Of Zelda vs Metroid So, we're down to eight, and unless Street Fighter can do something really special (it's surprised me by keeping it this close so far anyway), we're going to have a set of four 1 vs 2 matches comprising our elite 8 lineup. First up, we've got Zelda, Nintendo's most popular series (at least on GameFAQs). Against Metroid, which isn't. Zelda so far has managed nearly 90% against Civilisation, and over 80% against Mega Man X. Impressive. Metroid got over 70% against Kirby, which looks OK until you consider that Kirby is clearly stronger than his games, and then didn't even manage to get 53% against Pokemon. POKEMON. Oh dear. If we know anything about Metroid, it's that it always, ALWAYS manages to look really weak in some form at some stage of a contest. It either gets SFF'ed to hell, just chokes, or whatever. We've already had the choking, now we're going to have the SFF special. Look back to 2004 - specifically match 39. A Link To The Past, Zelda's probable second strongest game, annihilated my beloved Super Metroid, Metroid's second strongest game. Nearly a tripling. That isn't pretty. We're going to see the same here. If not worse. The only saving grace that is making me be conservative in my percentage prediction is that Metroid Prime avoided being SFF'ed against Wind Waker. That's Metroid's lynchpin against one of Zelda's weakest entrants, so that's not saying much. This has the potential to be like Link/Ganondorf over again. Bracket says: Zelda Favourites bracket says: Metroid Vote says: Metroid Prediction: Zelda with 83.32% Fun fact of the day: jonthomson thinks that Link's Awakening is in fact the best Zelda game. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

I want this match to stay close but for RE to take it. We haven't had a
good, close match since Summer 2004. Sin/Robotnik was the closest of
spr2k5, and that was...what, 1000 votes +? Summer, only Mega and Sonic
and Squall/Vincent were remotely close. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz dad wat are u on i just cant my mash |

I'm starting to think this might get interesting later on.
SF's updates have been pretty consistent while RE is jumping all over
the place...wanna see how this goes for another hour or so before I
start believing it though. --- Character Noms: Ken, Chun-Li, Kasumi, Morrigan, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

No, RE Gaiden isn't canon, or Leon would have been infected at the start of RE4. --- ~FFDragon FFDragoon, now with the blood of the mods stained to his armor and dripping from his lance. |

Maybe Leon is infected at the start of RE4! Maybe there
was a big war going on inside his body between the Las Plagas and the
infectant which is why I didn't become a Ganados for so long! HAH! --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz dad wat are u on i just cant my mash |

Oh no. I'm very confident SF will get the day vote and the evening
vote. I'm not sure why, but that's just how I feel. The pic might hurt

From XIII_rocks Posted 7/25/2006 7:50:21 AM #251 XD, AKJ, I'll be there in 5 seconds. Firstly: Hi. I was wondering if you would use a collaberation of Villains in Round 3 of the contest? You could even use a combination of sprites and CGI, though I can see this might be difficult. It'd also be an opportunity to see some people never before seen in a contest setting. The pic for Final Fantasy vs. Resident Evil especially provides a lot of options - Sephiroth, Kefka, Ultimecia, Seymour, Kuja vs. Albert Wesker, the Tyrant, Saddler, William Birkin, Alfred Ashford, etc etc. I just think it would work really well, as villains are a lot of the time great characters, and we've already had the heroes.
