You know what I'd love to see? FF7 remade...for the Wii. I don't know
what kind of impact that would have, but it'd be fun to speculate. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man? |

FFVII for Wii. It's FFVII, and it's Nintendo. That would be a force
that only post-TP Link could hope to get close to. I think he'd have a
hell of a time beating Sephiroth if FFVII was remade for the Wii. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

Oh, and for the nom list, you might as well drop Nidoran F and Midgar
Zolom since they aren't getting in. Show the top 10 noms of characters
that actually have a chance of making it. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

FF7 is the best game, but Zelda is the best series, and Link is cooler
than Cloud, but Sephy is way past Ganon in the baddie department... Its 50/50 really...but an FF7 remake with voice acting and extra parts added in would likely tip the balance, cause the noobs are ignorant...they will follow their leaders here, those they admire and kiss up too... --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8 & Elitist Analyst Nominate Kitana (MK)! |

Imagine if the predictions for this match had come true, and FF were
now winning with 55%. Can you even comprehend how much more
disappointed everyone would be? Mario - 47% Zelda - 45% i would have absolutely LOVED to see Mario finish above Zelda. --- please NOMINATE BAHAMUT!!! or i will eat your soul. |

Phoenix Wright - 65 Jay Solano - 44 Prince of Persia - 39 Raiden – 29 Captain Falcon – 28 CATS - 28 Fox McCloud - 28 Midgar Zolom - 28 Nightmare - 28 Gordon Freeman - 27 wow. what a load of craptacular fodder that is. Ceej probably rolled his eyes in pain when he saw Board 8's nominations. no wonder he opened the noms up to everyone else. thank goodness he did. --- please NOMINATE BAHAMUT!!! or i will eat your soul. |

I don't think Captain Falcon and Fox will be fodder at all. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Yeah. When half of the board's male nominees are joke characters, I think there's a problem. At least Jay Solano is part of an experiment. Correct me if I'm wrong about Phoenix Wright being a joke character, but I've heard people say that he is. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

Phoenix Wright is not a joke character, though he will likely be fodder amongst the ranks of Madden and Shadow Hearts. --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Z1mZum made me look like Shadow Hearts in the Guru contest. |

Phoenix Wright is actually a really good character. He's just the next board fad. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

eh, Fox certainly has a chance to improve on his previous performances,
but Captain Falcon can take a flying leap off the racetrack. with such
a Nintendo-heavy bracket we really don't need ANOTHER SSBM character.
at this rate, Ice Climbers and Game & Watch and a few Pokemon will
be the only SSBM characters missing from the Contest. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. if you won't nominate Bahamut, then nominate Jeane from Suikoden! |

These nominations are insulting to Cjay; he goes through all the
trouble to set these contests up and the board just nominates jokes? --- z1mzum was the one to fill my dark soul with LIIIIGHHHT! |

I think Phoenix could be high-end fodder, enough to beat maybe even Vyse. --- Damned Z1mZum, beating me by one point. I'm gonna be pissed if Toadette makes 2k6 and Mewtwo doesn't. |

Well, considering all things Phoenix Wright would probably beat the likes of Yuri... At least he has the namesake of his game. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Hmm... this match, compared to yesterday's, went from being 1478 votes
ahead before downtime to only 164 votes ahead currently. Bah. --- Those who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those who do. Thus, I was a great annoyance to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. |

Well, the good news about Phoenix Wright selling like crap is that the
sequel was STILL passed for localization in the States. It's currently
slated for release in Q1 2007. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Phoenix Wright sold like crap. There's no way he beats anybody of note in a contest. Are you arguing that Phoenix wouldn't beat Yuri? His game may not have sold well, but at least people know who he is. Of course you said "of note", so that nonwithstanding... <_< --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I doubt Phoenix can beat Vyse but he could probably beat Yuri. At least there's tons of fads across the internet with phoenix Wright on it. When people see Yuri, they're like "Who the heck is that". Then when someone tells them he's from Shadow Hearts, they'll be like "WTF is Shadow HEarts, you must mean Kingdom Hearts, I don't remember this guy" |

Are you arguing that Phoenix wouldn't beat Yuri? That's exactly why I threw in the phrase "of note." He could probably beat Yuri. Maybe Manny Calavera or Guybrush. That's about it. And since Toadette...somehow...won the Guru Contest nomination spot, speculation as to her contest strength...I still can't believe people have to nominate her. I'm glad I didn't enter. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |
