I'd practically slap the Ulti Guarandamntee(tm) on The Boss winning that. Key word there. Not one time did I say for ANY match that [insert random hard match here] was/is a mortal lock and completely dismiss everyone else, because, you know, people that do that annoy the hell out of me. Everyone should debate like Heroic Mario. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, Castlevania: LoI |

If MGS3 is the one of the worst games this gen to you, Then I'd hate to know what your favorite game is. Heh, I just dislike MGS3 because of the gameplay. Playing in the Jungle is some of the worse gaming I've ever had the displeasure of playing. It's all good once you get to Grozny Grad (sp?), enough to bring the game up to a solid 7/10, and the ending is the best in any game ever, but MGS2 is still far better than MGS3 is. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I'd never even heard of the boss until the contest, and I'm not
terribly upset either. I mean it's good to see characters you like do
well in these contests, but it's not the end of the world or even a big
deal if they flop horribly. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

Also, assuming The Boss finishes with 55% (going for a low estimate
here) and Celes approximately equaling Terra, that means that she's
significantly stronger than BB. Finishing at 57% would make her equal
to Ocelot. Wow. Whoda thunk it? Of course, it could also mean that Ganon was SFF'd hardcore by Samus and Vincent majorly overrated the Devil Division, so Ganon > Vincent is a foregone conclusion and Auron could actually outdo Vincent on Crono. <3 --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Everyone should debate like Heroic Mario.

Everyone should debate like Heroic Mario. If that happened, it would take about a week before nobody would remember which side they were on. It would be entertaining, though. (Especially when G-Dawg finally gets his personal invitation to his own luau, but you didn't hear that from me.) Seriously, though, this is a pretty solid thrashing, but I wouldn't quite call it over yet. Yes, I don't see a comeback happening, but even with this kind of a lead, calling a match half an hour in isn't the wisest course. --- www.rpgdl.com - Because everybody loves violent arena battles, right? |

Yes, I don't see a comeback happening, but even with this kind of a
lead, calling a match half an hour in isn't the wisest course. It helps knowing that FF6 has an awful day vote, so it's not like Celes can expect to get some swing come morning. If anything, this may turn out to be worse when school gets out and people wake up in the morning. She's got a nice 1300 vote lead this early, too. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows.

People underestimate how many casual voters there really are. When the
day vote hits, The Boss is going to make Celes look like a JOKE. Remember that for those of you predicting The Boss to = Big Boss, Big Boss was behind Mario/Samus and (maybe) Samus/Ganon. Terra was maybe overrated, as well as other from the Devil Division (besides Vincent, who I think may be a tad stronger than he showed against Crono. This also shows that Pac-Man IS perhaps stronger than once thought. --- Character Battle Score: 5/5 Today's Pick: The Boss |

From Axem Turtle Posted 9/17/2006 12:30:43 AM #378 I wouldn't take Ultros. For all we know, Boss is the one MGS side character that is ABOVE where you'd expect her to be. MGS is one of the few cases we have where match pics matter, and The Boss could NOT have been represented any better. I'd also like to point out that I guessed that Boss = Ocelot in my Crew writeup. Woohoo! And unless Celes happens to miraculously pull Boss to under 54.23%, ANOTHER POINT FOR ME HEROIC MARIO GETS OWNED AGAIN. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."
