Oh and I don't understand talk of Bowser > Ganondorf. Zelda is the
supreme king of NintendoFAQs. In a close match, where is the SFF more
likely to go? ~*ST*~ --- PWNED BY Z1mZum in the Guru Contest! Congrats! Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), Fire Emblem 8 |

Oh....I'm sorry. Give me one good performance from a TOS character and downgrade it a little, considering it'd be a female like Sheena or Colette. Now I'm damn sure Collette falls in around last place in most of the fanbase's character rankings, not quite sure on Sheena. Point is, Tron Bonne and the Servbots had such high demand from the MML fanbase they were given a spinoff, and it got some pretty good reviews. Hell, I've heard multiple credible reviewers call it "Maybe even better than some of the Mega Man games themselves!". Many of you will call that ludicrious, but the point remains. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

I hope Tron Bonne doesn't make it in. Her fans have been
historically annoying around here, to the point of rallying for hours
to try and win matches involving her in the Rally Contest and on GFA <_< I dunno what your talking about.....>_> --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

While Ganondorf > Bowser seems logical, Ganondorf has one of the worst records with SFF ever. The guy probably got SFFed by Samus. --- Those who are ordinary gurus decide nothing. Z1mZum decides everything. Including my nominating Toadette. |

WTF. Tron's Projectile assit alone makes me her more popular than
Morrigan, nobody uses Morrigan in MvC2, Tron's a pretty frequent member. You're not going to convince me than an assist makes her a more popular casual pick than a hot shoto-clone in Morrigan. I doubt the people who play MvC2 seriously really account for much anyway. (as if Tron's that useful there, either.. it's all Mags/Sent/Cable/a few others that aren't Tron) I mean, don't get me wrong, I've seen more "good players" use Tron, but I'm just not seeing Tron as the more popular pick in general. And Morrigan has MvC1. --- Z1mZum whooped me so bad in the Guru Contest that the next Lopen wannabe is gonna feel it. |

Well, guys... CATS, Kefka, Diablo, Ganon and Revolver Ocelot all did
better in the villains contest than the character battle that folled
very shortly after. LS got SFF'd. Bowser went up a ridiculous amount
even after the villains contest. Luca dropped, but he was behind Wesker
who was the only character other than Sephiroth to "boost" without
reason. I can't explain why that happened, but I can be pretty damn
sure that Sephiroth was simply anti-voted to hell that contest causing
almost everyone else to look better than they should. Ganon included. --- Z1mzum kicked my ass in the guru contest, so now I have to kiss his ass. Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Given that Bowser and Samus both suck with SFF, I doubt there was any there. ~*ST*~ --- PWNED BY Z1mZum in the Guru Contest! Congrats! Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), Fire Emblem 8 |

Oh and I don't understand talk of Bowser > Ganondorf. Zelda is
the supreme king of NintendoFAQs. In a close match, where is the SFF
more likely to go? In a close match, there isn't likely to be any SFF and I think Bowser is stronger to begin with. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Bowser/Snake is good enough for me to justify Bowser over Ganondorf. Of
course, then you can just slap that down with Bowser/Kirby sort of. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

I'd take Bowser over Ganondorf and feel confident over it. I don't
really have a reason.. it's kinda like MM/MK. I was just confident in a
MM victory. --- Bested by Z1mzum in the Guru contest... for now. Currently Playing: Tales of Phantasia, Xenosaga II, Sonic 2, Metroid Prime: Hunters |

Sephiroth was simply anti-voted to hell that contest causing almost
everyone else to look better than they should. Ganon included. I've been saying this since the X-Stats came out, and I still believe it. Though I really think Sephiroth was only anti-voted against Bowser and Ganondorf... as that was the "we've gotta take him down now" time. --- Z1mZum whooped me so bad in the Guru Contest that the next Lopen wannabe is gonna feel it. |

Ganondorf proved against Link that he has about ZERO fans of his own.

support every Zelda character over other Nintendo characters they most
likely like as well. --- Demyx > Axel Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills! |

Well, using the stats, Kratos would get 27% on Sonic. So downgrade a
little and we'll say Sheena or Colette would get tripled, maybe
quadded. I'd wouldn't take Tron to even break 15% on Sonic. As for Bowser/Ganondorf, being Ganondorf's #1, I'd actually probably pick Bowser, because if I went with Ganondorf, I'd feel extremely uncomfortable, and if Ganondorf wins anyway, screw my bracket, yadda yadda. They're pretty much equals, but I do think Bowser would SFF Ganondorf enough to slightly put him over. --- Moltar Status: Currently the property of the true Master, Z1mZum Final July '06 Contest Score: 62 (Boo) |

I don't take much of what happened in the villains contest too
seriously(aside from Sephiroth winning ^^;) because I think it was
rather obvious that he got anti-voted to hell and back. That's why I
thought Bowser > Snake was so freggin' ludicrous to me. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

Then again, Link is far better with SFF than Mario. That's really got nothing to do with THIS particular situation where it's the villain facing the hero. Ganondorf was exposed as a Link leech.

I wouldn't. Ganon's score in 2k3 is tied direct to Tidus and Magus and
he's dead even with them both, look at where those two are. Especially
if we're talking pre-TP, I think the guy is at risk of losing to Kirby
and that kid seems like he did a little too good on Bowser. --- Z1mzum kicked my ass in the guru contest, so now I have to kiss his ass. Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

"Comparing Link/Samus and Mario/Samus would actually favor Mario..." Not necessarily. I mean, don't you find it odd that Samus got her Metroid Prime boost more than a year after the game came out?

"Prediction: Who would you predict alongside Samus, Tifa, Aeris, and Zelda in the Elite 8 of a 32 Female Bracket?"
