Master Moltar | Posted 9/25/2006 2:19:31 PM | message detail
Yeah, but Kasumi doesn't strike me as a character that would be as strong now as she was back then. Not to mention Chun-Li may overperform thanks to being the more popular fighting game female.

I'm not calling for Chun to double or anything, but still, I'd be impressed if Kasumi broke 40%.

Joanna vs. Cortana - Bracket: Joanna - Vote: Joanna (12/13)

Yeah, I'm almost expecting Chun-Li to overperform, but if Kasumi breaks 45% or something, I won't be surprised.

I don't think Kasumi has as much reason to fall as Lara or Claire/Jill, though. She's had several releases since DoA, including one spin-off and one game on the 360.

With the direction GameFAQs seems to be going at the moment (lol ZeldaFAQs), I'm think Tingle could escape the doubling from Sora or at least not be too far off. What do you reckon the chances of this are?

He'll easily break 25%, but escaping a doubling would be surprising. I would really doubt he's able to do that.

Kasumi kinda got screwed in the bracket. she's going against a more popular fighting game character from a more popular series, so she's in kind of a hopeless position. she could probably hang with or beat half the field too.

After seeing Agent 47 near 30% on Sora, I can't see Tingle getting less than 25%. Even though KH2 was released in between

I don't put any stock into 2002, but yeah, she could've done some damage given a better spot on the bracket.

I'm actually expecting Sora to push 80% on Tingle. Tingle ain't exactly beloved by the LoZ fanbase, you know...

And this is coming from the guy who figured Amy wouldn't get enough anti-votes to lose to KOS-MOS. >_<
---
My bracket is so screwed.
Heroic Mario | Posted 9/25/2006 3:18:33 PM | message detail
Eh, Sora shouldn't get anywhere near 80% on Tingle. He's nowhere near strong enough and Tingle's not nearly that weak, unlike Amy Rose who is just awful.

I'm expecting Tingle to break 40% because he's a twerp and will end up causing the end of humanity and because I hate him.

How the **** did Tingle make it in? Who the hell likes Tingle?

For the record, we SHOULD be seeing a much stronger Sora this year. This is the first time we've seen him post-KH2 after all... Plus, with his 1-seed I can actually see him pulling a Kirby this year and jumping up a tier. 80% might be out of the question since Tingle still is a Zelda character, but I could see Sora possibly pulling off a tripling. I don't agree with Sora not being strong enough to blow out Tingle though... Tingle isn't exactly the most liked of Zelda characters.

There are plenty of Zelda characters I'd take over Tingle. Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Epona, Saria, Ruto, Darunia, Nabooru, Happy Mask Salesman, Impa, King of Red Lions, The King of Hyrule, the goofy little Kokiri Kid that stops you from leaving the forest, Medli, the Deku Tree... yeah, I could keep going on...

People think Kerrigan/Cortana would've been a good match? SC fans care far more about Kerrigan than Halo fans do about Joanna. I'd expect Kerrigan/Joanna to be closer than Kerrigan/Cortana.

Joanna's got the statistical advantage on Kerrigan as is, with potential SFF, add in a touch of help from PDZ and I could really see her take the fight to Terra (especially if there was any Devil Division overrating). And judging from the comparable percentages, Kerrigan/Cortana isn't that much of a stretch.

The mere fact that Tingle somehow MADE the male bracket shows me that somebody must like him. Expecting him to be so weak that he would get 10% on Sora is rediculous.

I can safely say that once you get past Saria, that's where "I quit even considering taking them over Tingle.

I'd take Sheik, Malon, Majora's Mask, and possibly a few others over Tingle. Still, he shouldn't be *too* bad in the grand scheme of things.

Escaping the doubling seems almost crazy to me, though. I mean, it's Tingle. Sora's anti-votes are virtually nullified through that simple fact.

You really think so? Metroid's strike me as being much more appealing than Goombas. Most Mario fans don't care about Goombas, but I'm a bigger fan of Metroids than I am of Samus or Ridley, and I'm sure many others are in the same boat.

Also, a Metroid would be an awesome character for SSBB. Just imagine the possibilities!

Make it generic characters and you're correct. Chocobos, Moogles, and a Pokemon or two would be perfect complements to Goombas, Metroids, Malboros, and others.
