Why in the world would you ever give Nidoran F nearly 30%? --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Because everyone loves Pokemon! Personally, I would vote all 400 Pokemon over Samus. >_> --- caps |

I think any Pokemon excluding Pikachu and Mewtwo that Samus faces will not break 10%. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

Heh...ya know what? I just now realized Ness isn't in the bracket. Weird. Nidoran F is going to be killed. She'd be doing great to avoid being quintupled. I say she gets, ah...14%. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

| ANY Pokemon? I'd like to think any of the Big
Three (Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard) could at least pull over 10%...I
mean, 90% blowouts are pretty damn rare. --- Commit it to memory. |

Guys, I honestly don't think Nidoran is stronger than Yuri. She isnt' breaking 15%. If Nidoran F faced Yuri in an actual match, I'd take Nidoran. Yuri's just so obscure, I don't think he could pull in 50% against someone even remotely recognizable. The real question is how much SFF will come into play and whether Samus gets some anti-votes. --- CATS's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Round 1: Sonic |

You think 48% of people voted Pokemon over Metroid for it's story? It's graphics? It's soundtrack? No! For it's characters! --- caps |

Charizard is a huge favorite and maybe the other three starters. But
any Pokemon that just seems too.. random or don't come into your mind
so fast just seems so Tanner-ish to me. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

Whoa, whoa! DARKNESS is a selling point for Ansem, not a weakness! It gives him character,
more than I can say for Kairi! The game even pokes fun at his rambling
about Darkness. In KH: CoM Riku says something like "would you shut up
about the darkness already?" to Ansem. Ansem > Kairi, 60-40+. Yes, that means Kairi loses to CATS... and I'd be all over that. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

ANY Pokemon? I'd like to think any of the Big Three (Venusaur,
Blastoise, Charizard) could at least pull over 10%...I mean, 90%
blowouts are pretty damn rare. Those types of Pokemon could probably get enough votes to do so, but the vast majority of Pokemon -- Nidoran F included -- would be doing good to break 10% on Samus. 90% blowouts are indeed rare, but you're dealing with someone as monstrous as Samus and as weak as a random Pokemon that no one cares about. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows.

Ansem > Kairi, 60-40+. Maybe if we reverse that so Kairi is winning 60-40. >> --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

I'd be shocked to see Samus fall below 80%, and I doubt that 90% is out of the question. --- "Professor Planet, mathematical hero. Going to take epsilon down to zero." Math board: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=576216 |

Since we're talking Pokemon vs. Metroid... how about.... Charizard vs. Ridley? Gogogogogogogogo! Charizard FTW! Does that mean that Charizard could actually be a weak midcarder? --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

Kratos Aurion did better against Diablo than Ridley did.
Considering how weak Metroid is (and even if it is stronger than
expected, Pokemon's right behind it), I'd take Mewtwo, the starters,
and maybe even Pikachu over him. --- Commit it to memory. |

90% blowouts are indeed rare, but you're dealing with someone as
monstrous as Samus and as weak as a random Pokemon that no one cares
about. I don't know, the fact that Samus couldn't even hit 90% against Yuri makes me question whether she can do it against anyone. --- CATS's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Round 1: Sonic |

You guys are all forgetting one crucial thing... Nidoran F has TJF going on. |

I don't know, the fact that Samus couldn't even hit 90% against Yuri makes me question whether she can do it against anyone. Nidoran F should be much weaker than Yuri was, too. There is no fanbase whatsoever for Nidoran F outside of whatever the joke is surrounding her from Board 8. Samus should be plenty capable of putting up a 90%+ performance, or at least very close. She doesn't even need whatever miniscule SFF would be there either. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Nidoran F has TJF going on. So what happens when Ceej opens up the contest by showcasing Zero Suit Samus to highlight the women's side of the bracket? What then??? --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

fanbase whatsoever for Nidoran F outside of whatever the joke is
surrounding her from Board 8. But she's like 10000x more recognizable than Yuri. People probably assume he's a communist and vote against him, yet Samus still couldn't get 90%.
