She won't be ineligible -- if she doesn't get in, it's because she didn't get enough nominations. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I'll bold the characters that I think will break the fodder line because I'm bored. Italics are maybes. Phoenix Wright – 89 Samus Aran – 86 Princess Peach Toadstool – 78 Lyndis - 70 Princess Zelda – 70 Jay Solano - 61 Prince of Persia – 59 Carmen Sandiego - 59 The Boss – 57 Nidoran F - 55 Celes Chere - 50 Raiden (MGS) – 49 CATS - 47 Captain Falcon – 44 Tifa Lockheart – 43 Aeris Gainsborough – 41 Nightmare – 41 Midgar Zolom – 40 Sub-Zero – 40 KOS-MOS- 40 Gordon Freeman - 39 Fox McCloud - 37 Chun-Li - 37 Sheena Fujibayashi – 37 Tron Bonne – 37 Solid Snake – 35 Rikku - 35 Yuna – 33 Lenneth Valkyrie – 31 The King of All Cosmos - 30 Sonic the Hedgehog - 28 Marina Liteyears – 28 Knuckles the Echidna - 27 Toadette - 26 Mewtwo – 26 Squall Leonhart – 26 Crono – 24 Presea Combatir – 23 Sarah Kerrigan – 23 Leon S. Kennedy – 22 Jade – 22 Yuffie Kisaragi – 22 Ada Wong - 21 Magus Zeal – 21 Miles "Tails" Prower – 20 Vivi Ornitier – 20 Auron - 19 Axel (KH/GH) – 19 Kirby – 19 Jill Valentine – 19 Joanna Dark - 19 Kazooie - 19 Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII – 19 Luigi Mario - 18 Yoshi - 18 Amy Rose – 18 Kairi – 18 Alucard - 17 Kratos Aurion – 17 Shadow the Hedgehog – 17 Sora - 17 Alexandra Roivas – 17 Dixie Kong - 17 Ganondorf Dragmire - 16 31 that are pretty much assured of not being fodder with a few maybes, if I counted right.

I asked that question before, and apparently none of us would be
surprised. It's not for nothing that the GameFAQs community is seen as
having the intelligence of an empty can of Raid. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

Actually, HM, the 64 most nominated characters make it 33 female - 31 male, with Ganondorf missing the cut for Quists Trepe. Notices the lack of Bowser or Megaman on the list X-D Yeah. Ganondorf as well, if you're going from the 64 most nominated list. Some major snubs. Vincent and Dante are missing as well. --- Nominate Vincent Valentine for the character battle! |

I'm really curious to know how many nominations he got from the
Zelda/FF poll. Even if a mesely 1% bothered nominating, that would be
1500 more entries. --- Noms: Ken, Nightmare, Sub Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden(MGS), Knuckles, Sora Chun-Li, Morrigan, Sheena, Cammy, Presea, Talim, Ayane |

BTW, if Ceej just decided to take the 64 most nominated characters and
throw them into a bracket, here's a list of all the 2005 characters who
would be snubbed: 6. Mega Man 9. Bowser 10. Vincent Valentine 16. Dante 18. Zero 21. Master Chief 22. Donkey Kong 23. Ryu 24. Tidus 33. Diablo And the fodder... 34. Ryu Hayabusa 35. Tommy Vercetti 38. Kefka 40. Sam Fisher 43. Frog 44. Kratos 45. Riku 47. Terra 48. Conker 49. Zidane 50. Jin Kazama 51. Geno 52. Cecil 53. Lloyd Irving 56. Albert Wesker 57. Agent 47 59. Ness 60. Vyse 61. Big Boss 62. Pac-Man 63. Carl Johnson 64. Revolver Ocelot 65. Laharl 66. Manny Calavera 67. Yuri 36/67 characters snubbed? Ouch. At least most of the midcarders made it in. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

No, he's right at the bottom of the male list. Yes, but is Ceej were to just go with the 64 most nominated characters like you suggested, Quistis would make it in his stead with 17 nominations. --- Nominate Vincent Valentine for the character battle! |

There's no chance that the board 8 nominations ever matter
with Ceej linking to nominations with the finals poll. No character
that got rallied for by board 8 is going to get in. No Phoenix, no
Solano. Doesn't matter. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

When I stop to think about it do you think Ceej would give our Board 8
picks a better match if we didnt nominate so much crap. I mean look at
the top nom getters maybe if we only went with one or two we would get
a match we could win and a favorable pic as opposed to the slaughter
fest we always get. IE first round matches with Clinkerothio doomed
before we even start. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" Tellah-Final Fantasy 4 |

many people do you really think are going to pay attention enough to

As was said, even if a measley 1% paid attention, that's like 1500 new nominations. And I think Many's rally was a lot more... um... well Shake said he'd leave if Manny didn't get in. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

Just going back to what was being said about Peach, I don't think she will be much of a vote-getter. She's definately not "hot", and she has almost no personality. I really see her as more annoying than likable, and I'm sure the mainstream voters will feel the same way. I mean, have you heard her voice? --- You can't call me a bigot. I hate everyone equally. |

Yes, but Peach is one of the most recognizable characters, especially
out of the females. Since females don't exactly have the largest number
of popular characters, she could go fairly far just because many
casuals won't know who the hell the girl who she's facing is. --- 4th Place of the Fall 2005 10-Year Anniversary Contest |

I have never doubted Peach's ability to take care of fodder. She would
never have to worry about losing to someone with a very cult following
or someone that few people know about simply because of who she is. I start doubting here when you get into characters that people actually like and have something resembling strength. People know who she is, but no one likes her, which is the entire problem. --- Listen to my story. This may be our last chance. -- Tidus |
