I think that depends on if noms get moved to the front page or not. if it doesn't, Jay Solano is so getting a 1 seed. For sure. But with the way it's been lately, I'm thinking it'll be board only. The only good I'm finding in this is Cloud/Link now has a chance to take place before TP, provided Ceej keeps his ass in gear. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Terrible, god-awful idea. And I'm wondering if Link will end up being one of the most nominated characters anyway. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| Not sure if Ryu is getting in, Ken Master could possibly be the weakest male character if nominated... |

We have a great chance of seeing some huge seeding injustices
here...depending on what the bracket looks like, even powerhouse males
could get bad seeds. Yuna seeded higher than Snake anyone? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

No, if Nightmare gets in, he'll be weaker than Ken. We MIGHT be nominating the weakest male in the field, heh. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Nah, Yuna won't be seeded higher than Snake. Mega Man, Solid Snake, and Sonic are all but guaranteed the 1 seeds in the male half (of course, we're assuming that's how it will be done). Who will the other be? --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Yuna seeded higher than Snake anyone? that would only happen if they're put in the same bracket. I'd expect something like a female half and a male half. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it! NORG WILL NOT GO DOWN SO EASILY |

You know, I'm having a helluva time thinking of males who might
actually have a shot to make it, and who I'd actually want to nominate. Midgar Zolom, Frog and Crono are all I have so far. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Who knows though? We could get traditional, split, or teams. yeah, I would have a better idea of who to nominate if I knew what format the bracket was going to be. right now I have no idea. I'm enjoying thinking about Link/Mario vs. Cloud/Seph, but otherwise I'm really skeptical of any tag-team setup. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it!

One of the big questions for teams, is how would they be paired up? Males with the most noms with females with the most noms? Or males with the most noms with females with the fewest noms? And in the latter case, what would the seeding for the team be? (this problem is why I think the former might be more likely, in case of teams) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Well, the thing about pairing up males with females...what do you do with Link, Cloud, Sephy, and Mario? --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Cloud and Sephiroth's problem is being characters from the same game,
at least in my view. That's why I'd take Link and Mario over them. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Link and Mario overlap a lot too. And the Cloud/Sephiroth overlap never manifested in Cloud/Sephiroth SFF. Also Cloud is a near match for Link by himself. Sephiroth easily outdoes Mario. Link/Mario would probably be the favorites, but no one should be confident about it at all. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

the only female I'm definite on right now is KOS-MOS. I highly doubt
nominations will be closed before the contest is over, so there's still
a lot of time to think about it. I don't like how this is overshadowing this current contest.. I hope people are talking about Zelda/FF when the time comes and not nominations. I assume the nomination talk will go away after a day or two though. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it! NORG WILL NOT GO DOWN SO EASILY |

will immediately post the bracket after the series contest ends? it
could happen. That's what I'm hoping. Ideally, we get the bracket August 1st and maybe a mid-August start, if not September 1st at the latest, which is very good. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |
