Just a quick case for Kirby hardly being strong, for those interested. For what's arguably his biggest console release, landing between "There's nothing good out this month" and "Other" isn't good for Kirby's series, and we see that it wasn't so well-received here afterwards. We know the third poll is outdated, but it's also the last poll like it we've seen for Kirby, and Kirby's noticably below MOTHER in it (interesting to note that, no matter how several of us think SF64 would do good, Star Fox is dead-last in it). We also see two handheld games bomb for Kirby in GotY polls (not unexpectedly, however).

It is, however, good news for The Boss, and that's never a bad thing.

Another question, will any female side characters make it in games while the main character doesn't? (Like Krystal from SFA making it while Fox doesn't).

I really hope we're not going to get 32 female characters....
Chamek | Posted 7/26/2006 1:48:07 PM | message detail
For the guys:
Fox McCloud, Captain Falcon, Leon (RE4), Sub-Zero, Nightmare, and the Prince of Persia.

For the girls:
Samus, Zelda, Peach, Lyndis, Aeris, Garnet.

I'm saving my seventh in each just in case if there is anybody I think of at the last minute who I'm forgetting, or if there is someone I promised a nomination for that I may have forgotten as well.

I can't really think of many females to nominate other than The Boss, Sheena, and Presea. I don't like many females, and the few I do like have either already been extremely disappointing (Kerrigan and Terra, I'm looking at you) or would be.

Don't let there be a contest without CATS. Besides Sephy, he's the only one to make every character contest. Tradition folks... TRADITION!

I don't want to be a walking advertisement, but just a reminder to all who said they would nominate Fox to please do so. It's going to be a lot tougher to get him in based on the nominations, and considering that I was planning to start up the nomination drive later on, a lot of people have forgot about him.

Please nominate Fox McCloud!

I like mine -- loyal to the board AND Knuckles, hard to complain.

Sorry about skipping out on Seifer though -- I know I said I would, but given the circumstances.....

Ok fanbabies and fans...

Had I won the Guru contest, I would have ordered all of you to nominate Kitana from MK to the contest. Well, now is your chance to do it, in honor of the Sage of Board 8 :)

So get to it!

Why is everyone assuming that it'll be divided? Perhaps Ceej is just using this as a means to guarentee a large shakeup in the bracket.

Thanks to the Nomination and Soul's rally, and my own personal conquest of fandom with Wario and Ridley (I can dream >_>;) I only had 1 male nomination left. Leon FTW!

And I can see it now, Mother Brain returns whilst Ridley doesn't... Boo.

Gurus! Leave one spot open in both your male and female nomination forms!

Whoo hoo for having the Summer Contest still in the Summer, but d'oh for us still not knowing who wins the current Contest.

So save one spot for now, and abide by the stipulation! Thanks.

So far...

Your Male Character Nominations
Laguna
Raiden
Strider
Serge
Nightmare

Your Female Character Nominations
Aeris
Peach
Mai Shiranui
Seung Mina

I have a hold on the last two slots for male. If the person who wins the guru contest wants someone not on my list I want to have the space, but I'm not sure if I'd rather have Jay or Subby for that last slot. Having trouble thinking of more females worth bothering with.

Females:

1. ..uhh... I'll have to think about this. I'll probably nom Fox as well for the boys, but that seven nominations thing sucks, especially if the Guru winner picks a boy.
