The Objection fad is about, what, 10% the size of All Your Base Are Belong To Us? I'd say much less than that. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

A good sum of the people that participate in this contest yearly know
Freeman's history and will vote against him just to see him lose. Plus the objection site will likely post a link up for the match, it should be expected that more people will vote than nominate due to the fact you don't have to register to vote. The problem with my assumption is how many people registered multipule times to nominate PW more than once. That will be interesting. --- I am not changing this sig until the Devil Rays get into 3rd place in the division with at least 20 games played. (Started 9/16/04) |

If it wasn't for Auron, that four-pack would be much more
interesting...feed Alucard somebody like, say, Kefka, and suddenly
Alucard/MC is debatable and more casual brackets could go down (Kefka
AND Master Chief in the same four-pack...better believe it if Alucard
won it). --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I have a few upsets in my bracket that remind me of my thought process during the series contest... WC > GTA LoZ > FF Both of those I picked because "They don't logically make sense, but they just FEEL right." Thanks to Stephen Colbert, I'm refusing to change my following picks: The Boss > Celes Amy Rose > KOS-MOS Phoenix Wright > Gordon Freeman Ganondorf > Vincent Zelda > Aeris Sonic > Crono Sonic > MM/Snake --- If the universe implodes, this space belongs to NClark128. If the law wins, I win! |

know Freeman's history and will vote against him just to see him lose. I think even more voted FOR him just so he could win, and we both ultimately know there's too many other votes to let either factor mean much more than ****. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

I wish very much that Auron wasn't in that four pack, so I could pick
Alucard to win it...but Auron did 3% on (possibly stronger) Ganondorf,
and 4.5% better on a (probably weaker) Sephiroth. Kingdom Hearts II
trumps Dawn of Sorrow, and Alucard goes out in the first round. Hmph. On a side note, now that Knuckles can't win a match and Gordon Freeman will, who will become the 1)the weakest character to win a match every contest (Ryu?) and 2) the strongest character to lose a match every contest (CATS?). --- "Who knew that head wounds bled so much?" ~ Kieran, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance |

Claire>Kairi (60%) I see Kairi being pretty damn weak, personally. Claire should at least be among the upper echelon of fodder. Celes>The Boss (65%) I just can't see The Boss not being weaker than Big Boss, and I can't see Celes being far behind Terra. Amy Rose>KOS-MOS (10%) This match is similar to Crash Bandicoot vs KOS-MOS, except Amy is most likely weaker than Crash. Cortana>Joanna (25%) Maybe I shouldn't underestimate the Halo fanbase, but...It's pretty much just the single player Halo fanbase for this match. Does that even exist? Riku>Yoshi (5%) Possible, but very unlikely. PW>GFNW (35%) It depends on how effective Objection really is at increasing PW's power. Honestly, I kind of think it might cause some anti-votes against PW, to go along with any vote s it helps bring. That said, I'd give PW a 1% without the site. VV>Ganon (55%) I think Vincent was stronger than Ganon last contest, and I think he has more room to improve. Definitely a match either can win, though. Luigi>Zero (20%) Zero has always looked stronger than Luigi. I don't think he'll be any weaker this season. Alucard>Auron (.01%) Not happening. Sub-Zero>MC (5%) I guess? Jill>Peach (25%) Peach is still an unknown, so the percentage can't be too low. I'm confident in her winning, though. Dante>Yoshi (49%) This match is evil. Ganon>Sonic (15%) If he gets by Vincent, AND TP comes out on time, he'll have a CHANCE to win. Kirby>Luigi/Zero (45%) Another very close one. I just don't trust Kirby enough to give him the win. Bowser>Crono (.01%) Moving on. MC (Sub-Zero)>Auron (Alucard) (1%) Auron at his weakest can probably take out MC. This year will be Auron at his strongest, and MC at his weakest, most likely. Aeris>Zelda (45%) Very possible. Chun-Li>Yuna (40%) They're close on the stats, and...Eh. I just have a gut feeling that Chun-Li is stronger than she looked last contest. Yuna is still the favorite, though. Yoshi>Snake (.01%) No. Luigi/Kirby/Zero>Sonic/Ganon/VV (.01%) Not happening. Snake>Mega Man (1%) Better than .01! Sonic/Ganon/VV/Luigi/Kirby/Zero>Crono (10%) If Ganon takes Sonic, he has a good chance of taking Crono. Mega Man/Snake>Crono/Sonic/Ganon/etc (20%) Just don't see any reason for that big a Crono drop-off. Male Winner>Samus (48%) Can go either way. --- Chief of Patrol in Sir Chris' police force DA!

contest in which he wins a match. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I've also looked at Boss/Celes as being similar to Big Boss / Terra.
Big Boss and Terra have near-identical x-stat values if you assume a
tiny bit of SFF in Samus/Ganon. the thing that put me over the edge is
that Celes is going to get some ugly Amano art. sure, it's technically
part of Terra's x-stat value, but I just think that when people don't
care about either character, they'll vote for the one that looks
cooler. Amano art pretty much assures you're not going to look cooler. Phoenix and Gordon is shaping up to be this year's match that people fight over, like GTA/WC. the people on Gordon's side are saying that it's really obvious and that no one has ever played PW while the Phoenix people are like LOL GFNW OBJECTION GFNW OBJECTION. I think Phoenix will do better than uber-fodder and that GF is a little overrated in the 2k5 stats, but that Gordon will be able to pull it off. I don't care to debate the match at all though because there's just nothing to say. Phoenix Wright's wikipedia page mentions the date of the match against Freeman. I get the feeling there's going to be a lot of rallying all over the place from Phoenix Wright's camp. they're just nuts about him and the game. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

I don't get why everyone thinks MGS3 is so popular on this site. Have
we seen anything that implies it would even be as strong as MGS2? He was the seeding underdog in his match vs Fisher. Hmm, seems you're right. *sigh* --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Have we seen anything that implies it would even be as strong as MGS2?

better gameplay, you play as 'Snake' for the entire game... And it was still a flop. You could argue the same about Beyond Good and Evil as compared to MGS2 (except for Snake...), but I'm not expecting BG&E to beat MGS2, because BG&E was a flop, just like MGS3. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I would definitely wager that MGS2 is the weakest MGS game. MGS3 would fit somewhere in between MGS and MGS2, but probably closer to two. ... But in the world you came to the conclusion that MGS3 flopped or is generally more liked than MGS2 is beyond me.

There's a reason that MGS3 sold less, yes -- and that reason is MGS2. Really? It has nothing to do with launching at the same time as MP2, GTASA, HL2, Halo 2, etc? And even if people didn't buy MGS3 because of MGS2...THEY STILL DIDN'T BUY MGS3! I don't see how that makes MGS3 stronger. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

MGS3 is better liked among those who DID buy it, which is virtually all
that matters here. MGS2's sales don't mean jack when put up against MGS
(which it actually outsold), because it would get absolutely obliterated.
It's the same thing with MGS3. It won't be on MGS's level by a
longshot, but it should easily have enough juice to do in the black
sheep of the series. --- Commit it to memory. |
