Fortunately, KH won't be getting any more remotely close matches. Though it saddens me Kairi will be getting to the second round while Riku doesn't.

And that Sora doesn't even have a remote chance of being upset. Oh well, at least the casuals think he'll beat Mega Man for some stupifyingly weird reason.

How low do you think Mega Man's PP will be if (when) he wins the contest?

I mean by your definition, all characters in certain genres suck because they're avatars.

Heck, even I can admit the only reason Mario doesn't suck as a character is for the Mario RPGs. <_<

eh, I don't know where you're getting the idea of a ton of people picking Sora > Mega Man besides the fact that he's the higher seed. Sora got 35% on Alucard and KH got like 29% over Halo and Castlevania.

Yeah, and I vaguely remember people saying that Kairi wouldn't catch enough of KH's power to score updates like this.

Peach doesn't suck, she just doesn't have much actual characterization, while Jill does, and therefore is better by default. I'm not saying all undeveloped characters suck, just that they aren't really worthy of being compared to developed characters because they aren't nearly as good as characters by definition. They can still look cool, have good moves, etc. and be good because of that.

There's the fact that he's a one seed, there's KH2, and that I've seen tons of crazy casuals on here talking about Sora in the finals or Sora beating Snake. There's no Halo or Kratos to mess things up here, only the awful prediction percentage beast known as Mega Man.

If Mega Man wins the whole contest, he'll have a PP of one bracket, because only you are crazy enough to stake that claim KH.

And after MM takes his division, I'll say a PP of 35%

yeah, but Sora is no better. I wouldn't try to guess the prediction percentage based on new people to the boards. there aren't too many people picking Master Chief to win his division (at least that I've seen), yet he'll still have 30% of the brackets.

Let me get this straight. Mega Man can beat Link in 2004, but can't beat the likes of Crono and Samus in 2006? Sure I didn't pick him, but the possibility certainly exists.

Take off every sig.
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/15/2006 1:18:47 PM | message detail
Well, eventually you're going to whittle down the brackets to the people who know how far Mega Man is expected to go (Final Four). But if he beats Sonic/Crono, that will plummet immensely, and after Samus, you've basically got only the hardcore Mega Man fanboys and crazy upset takers behind that...

But if he beats Sonic/Crono

Thank you for not presuming a Crono victory there. I hate it when people do that.

Mega Man couldn't beat Link in 2004 and he cannot beat Samus in 2006. That's basically what I'm saying.
