Fifteen minute rants should be reserved for characters as cool as the
ones found in MGS1. MGS2 deserved no such rants, and the ones who
deserved them in MGS3 got them. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Most bosses don't present a challenge with Thermal Goggles. They're cheap The run I had when I completely forgot to fetch them was entertaining. Fear actually put up a fight --- We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable |

and the ones who deserved them in MGS3 got them. The only one besides the Boss who got anything close to a rant was The Fury, and HE SURE DESERVED IT MIRITE?! --- Do you really need me to bring out the stats?- Azp2k32 on why Zero would double Luigi |

Yeah, The Fear is actually fairly difficult if you don't use the thermal goggles and you don't use the vomiting technique. The End is just plain fun either way. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

So since the match is so anticlimactic, statgoers have resorted to arguing about MGS bosses? --- September 22nd! Amy Rose > KOS-MOS Currently Playing: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, God of War |

What? I'll argue about MGS bosses at a moment's notice! I would stop

The Fury was bad-ass. Not necessarily as cool compared to lots of other MGS characters, but still very bad-ass. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

The Fear was a joke with the Thermal Goggles. Even on Extreme he didn't
hit me (save for the first hit you have to take thanks to the scene). --- Character Battle V Score - 5/5 points Current Prediction - The Boss vs. Celes Chere |

Also, today's match makes me ask this: we see right now that The Boss has about 61% on Celes... ...but say Terra faced the MGS1 snub Meryl. If Terra > Celes and I wonder how Meryl compares to The Boss, would it have anybody thinking hard on it? --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

I've said it before, I would have been loads more comfortable with Meryl in this situation. Meryl FTW. --- Commit it to memory. |

I'm actually kinda worried about Terra/Kerrigan, to tell the truth. I'd
given Kerrigan a bit of a shot before, but if she actually gets rallied
(unlike last time, lol), she could potentially put a scare into Terra. --- Commit it to memory. |

Meh, I'm not worried about Terra losing. Kerrigan has to make up a
60/40 deficit to win, unless something about her match with Vincent was
not legit. Then who knows? --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
| HaRRicH | Posted 9/16/2006 10:18:43 PM | message detail |

She'd have to get alot more rallying than last time (which was, what,
one site that had one topic get close to 100 votes over several days?)
AND get her box-art pic to do that. I'd still be skeptical if both happened -- they were in the same four-pack and it's predicted to be a 60-40 match...and Terra has all the intangables as far as GameFAQs goes. Without her more recognizable box-art and much more rallying, Kerrigan won't win. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |
| Heroic Mario | Posted 9/16/2006 10:19:27 PM | message detail |

There's not really a situation there where I think Kerrigan would
benefit. Vincent overrating that division doesn't hurt either of them
more than the other, Terra is still a nice sized gap away, and Kerrigan
shouldn't really get the rallying necessary to change things up. It's a
pretty significant gap from what I recall. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Terra / Kerrigan isn't a lock, but I don't care to debate a match
between two weaklings like that. hopefully Terra wins, if not oh well,
etc etc. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

The only thing that worries me about Kerrigan is Vyse. Him dropping so much last year doesn't make much sense to me. If Tifa overperformed on him due to bandwagoning, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Vincent did the same to Kerrigan. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

Yeah. I wouldn't want to bother arguing the match either. I'd rather just wait and see. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Yeah, I have Kerrigan there for some god unknown reason >_> Suppose I'm still banking on FF6 being horrible contestwise. Which this match isn't making me feel badly over --- We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable |

Well, there's really not much to debate. They were in the same four
pack last year, and Terra came out comfortably ahead. The only thing
that could change things is a lot of StarCraft rallying or a
Vincent/Kerrigan problem. Either way, there's no way to know for sure,
so all we can do is wait for that one. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Tifa didn't overperform on Vyse because of bandwagoning. It was probably more along the lines of RPG SFF, if anything was wrong. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Fodder having that dang tendency to fluctuate, though...eh, I'm
probably getting too worried for nothing. But I'd been worried about it
even before this match, and wasn't expecting for Boss to win by nearly
as much. Oh! And Turtle -- for the next month, your sig shall be: "I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory." --- Commit it to memory. |

I've said it before, I would have been loads more comfortable with Meryl in this situation. Meryl FTW. Meryl is more or less unimpressive. The Boss > Eva > Sniper Wolf > Meryl --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Fodder having that dang tendency to fluctuate, though People make a bigger deal out of this than is warranted. CATS was considered to be one of the most remarkably consistent characters around. And then he went face and got recognizable. We'll wait and see what happens to him. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

I would still be tempted to say that Face-CATS has been consistant with
his two appearances, too...but we should see him some more first, I
guess. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |
