"Heh, I think that PS2 RE will have enough of an effect to increase his nominations quite substantially." I think a year of not doing squat works to undo that entirely.

Wow, it's like we hit 500 and we didn't even realize it! On topic, I'm also doubting that Leon Kennedy gets in this year.

Are people really thinking the PS2 port will do more for Leon than DMC3
did for Dante? That Leon could put the fear in Vincent? If you want to
take Leon over Dante, be my guest. I would struggle with Leon/Tidus,

"Because SSBM means she can beat anyone!" Ever seen Ness in action? Any reason why he's an ungodly distance away from his game? Hmm... SSB, perhaps. Same goes for Samus and Kirby, too. Their games suck it up (no pun intended for Kirby) in contests yet they're both reasonably powerful.

Damn, forgot to include the rest: Ness (2005c) VS Earthbound (2004g) Ness has a strength of 20.53. Earthbound has a strength of 20.32. Ness wins with 50.51% of the vote!

Draco, do consider it's quite impossible to extrapolate that without
just making up a number. I mean, what's that based on, OoT = Link? FF7
= Cloud? Earthbound = Ness? Whatever it is, it's completely arbitrary
and doesn't convey the idea that Ness scores 25~ on his contests
champion while Earthbound looked as pitiful as Ryo Hazuki when compared
to its champion (and also scored in the same range as Shen Mue, to
boot, making him eerily the closest thing I'd consider to be a direct
comparison). --- Z1mzum kicked my ass in the guru contest, so now I have to kiss his ass. Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

So, um, off topic, but... can Tingle be next year's joke character? Or Waluigi? I'm just really curious to see how a hated character from a super popular series does, and considering that Zolom seems to be out, we don't get that this year (Although I guess Zolom's point was that he was unknown, not hated.) --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php Please nominate K.

...What in the world did Aeris do in KHII? She wasn't even involved in the Cloud plotline, other than one brief conversation. Your order is...definitely unique. The fact that you have Aerith above Auron is strange to say the least. I can understand the others, but Aerith? ... Yeah. I would say Auron is much higher up in the rankings for the vast majority of people who played KH2. Ha, I actually chuckled at the both of those. Yeah, I liked Aeris (bite me official verson of the game) more than Auron...I guess just because he was uninspiring. And come on, you know you laughed when she shot Squall that, "I'll kill you," look. That said, I haven't played X yet and am working on VII, so maybe that has something to do with it. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Oh, and I'm highly inclined to believe that Ness was underadjusted, considering he was behind Aruon/Seph AND Seph/Cloud in 2k4. --- Z1mzum kicked my ass in the guru contest, so now I have to kiss his ass. Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

If Peach ends up beating someone like Rikku or Yuna, Snake is going
to be a ****ing monster after SSBB. Because that would mean that game
can do ANYTHING. Well, to be fair, and I'm going to have to go search through all the peach discussion since I skipped it, Peach could have had plenty of strength before Smash. Hm, maybe that's where Zelda's comes from, that would be something. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

" just think it's ridiculous when it gets to the point where people start taking characters JUST because of the game." Why? Everything indicates that Samus, Kirby, and Ness have gained from it drastically. Why should another weakling, let's say Peach, wouldn't do the same? I'm not saying she's a powerhouse, but I also don't see her failing to crack a good 23% give or take. --- Z1mzum kicked my ass in the guru contest, so now I have to kiss his ass.

I've been a Peach fan my entire life, ever since Mario 2. When I do bother playing Mario Kart, I use her. She was awesome in Kart 64. And then... SSBM godliness. She's the anti-advanced tactic. Go ahead, I dare you to wavedash against Peach. 60 damage, I follow up and you die. Go ahead, crouch cancel. 60 damage, I follow up and you die. Go ahead, be defensive because you're afraid to come near me. I have more gamer patience than you do; I beat the Calc SCC. I can out-projectile, out-defense, and out-annoy you. Go ahead, be a pro in the air. Only the disjointed hitboxes of the four swordsman and Shiek's airs stand a chance against her float canceling cheese. And this doesn't even factor in her randomly getting swords, bombs, and smash turnips that I can catch out of the air. I piss off everyone I play against when I go all-out with Peach. Ask ExTha or Swift about it. You can know what's coming and exactly what to do to counter it, yet still get your ass whipped by my annoying patience and defense. And my ass. Peach's ass is the best ass in gaming by a mile, except for maybe Raiden. And yes, I bought Super Princess Peach. How could I not? I grew up with her every bit as much as Mario and Link. She owns. ~*ST*~ --- PWNED BY Z1mZum in the Guru Contest! Congrats! Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), Fire Emblem 8 |

And come on, you know you laughed when she shot Squall that, "I'll kill you," look. When was this? I hardly remember it. Though I've only played through KHII once and that was a while ago. Once again, Zelda is a world of difference compared to Peach. If it hadn't been for Sheik, I'm confident Zelda wouldn't be much of anything. "But it's only one game!"
