Axel. CATS folds like a card against anyone who has a fanbase. Plus, Axel can't be that much weaker than Ansem, if at all. --- Character Battle V Score - 21/22 points Current Prediction - Kratos (God of War) vs. Ryu (Street Fighter) |

Axel. CATS folds like a card against anyone who has a fanbase. Plus, Axel can't be that much weaker than Ansem, if at all. Yeah. There's no way Axel is weak enough to not land somewhere in between pre-KHII Ansem and CATS. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Destiny Division: Round 1 - Match 24 – (2)Mega Man vs. (7)Axel Moltar’s Analysis Mega Man Game/Series Known From: Mega Man Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 3rd (42.91%) Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 4th (38.60%) Extrapolated Rank in 2004: 8th (32.39%) Adjusted Value: 6th (35.99%) Extrapolated Rank in 2005: 6th (35.55%) Seed in 2002: 6 Seed in 2003: 2 Seed in 2004: 1 Seed in 2005: 1 Lost in 2002 to Sephiroth in Round 3 Lost in 2003 to Sephiroth in the Final 4 Lost in 2004 to Link in the Final 4 Lost in 2005 to Crono in the Final 4 It’s that robot warrior that refuses to die, Mega Man! Axel Game/Series Known From: Kingdom Hearts Owner of one of the hottest catchphrases of the year. And the Destiny division ends with another KH character, except this one is on the losing side of things. Axel, who’s gotten his fame from KH: Chain of Memories and KH2, faces Mega Man. Now, Axel may be a fan-favorite, but Mega Man is…Mega Man. You don’t beat Mega Man, heck, you don’t come close to Mega Man unless you are a Contest elite. If I wouldn’t even take Sora over Mega Man, I wouldn’t dare take Axel over him. I can’t see Axel being worth much either. His fan-favorite status from one of the year’s biggest games may keep him over 20%, but Mega Man is looking good to triple this guy. Now commit THAT to memory! Er…I mean, now get THAT memorized. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mega Man will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Mega Man: 78% - Axel: 22% Ulti’s Analysis I consider it a moral victory if Axel breaks 20%, just because I love him so much..

GOT IT MEMORIZED? GOT IT MEMORIZED? GOT IT MEMORIZED? Prediction: Mega Man with 75.57% HM’s Analysis Mega Man once again gets the opportunity to blow away fodder. Yes, folks, Axel is fodder no matter how much you like him!! I am rather surprised he even managed to get into the contest, but we’ve seen that KH2 has had a definite affect on the nominations judging by Sora’s #1 seed, Kairi’s #2 seed, and Riku’s #3 seed. However, even with that KH2 effect, they’re only 2 – 1 right now as far as wins are concerned and this is looking to make it a dead even 2 – 2! There’s really not much to go into with this match. Mega Man would beat Sora with absolute ease, so someone like Axel better expect to be destroyed. The only interesting thing about this match will be to see just how big of a blowout this ends up being. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Mega Man Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Mega Man – 82% ; Axel – 18% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Mega Man Yoblazer’s Analysis I'm forced to keep it really short today. We know Mega Man will win, and we know he is fantastic when it comes to stomping the weak. The question now is whether or not Axel can get enough Kingdom Hearts support to avoid this fate. Mega Man is expected to score 69% on last year's Riku, and while Axel has the same amount of big games as Riku did at that time (one), I expect Axel to be weaker. Even still, he should be able to outperform Conker's 24% in 2005. He certainly deserves to. My prediction: Mega Man def. Axel (75-25). Got it memorized lmaooooooo |

Lopen’s Analysis I don't like matches like this. Why? Well, for some reason I can't think of anything funny to say about Mega Man or Axel… and really, Axel should be a gold mine! I mean, "Got it memorized?" practically sells itself! And then, also, this match isn't debatable either. Mega Man's evil, Mega Man blows fools' faces off. And make no mistake about it, Axel's face won't survive. No it won't. But he'll try to escape the blast, he'll try. He's got the new KH2 on his side, and he's huge in that game! Everybody loves Axel! Axel would totally beat Kairi, man… I'm sure of it! Axel's not out to win, Axel's just out to make himself look good. That's the best he can hope for. And I think he will. I think he'll surprise us all. And this is coming from a man who has Mega Man winning the thing! So fear not, Mega Man fans… if Axel obtains a good %, it's all Axel! Lopen's prediction: Mega Man with 71.50% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history MEGA MAN "I AM MORE THAN JUST A ROBOT!" Summer 2002 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 3rd Place [42.91%] Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [38.60%] Summer 2004 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 6th Place [35.99%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 7th Place [35.55%] All right! Straight from the year 20XX (aka 2006), it's my main man, Mega Man! While I've traditionally never been much of a MM guy outside of the Legends games, in the past year or so he and I have become more or less inextricably linked. Maybe it's the fact that I didn't know how to charge Atomic Fire. Maybe it's the fact that he's been tied to my now famous upset over that ditz Samus. But whatever the reason, he's back, and he's ready to show us what perhaps the most consistent pillar of strength in these contests can do! He'll easily dispatch his division, and then lose respectably to Solid Snake in a massive upset. <_< After which he will go on to beat Samus in an even BIGGER upset! Doesn't make sense, you say? Um, all will be revealed in time...yes... AXEL "Commit it to memory." N/A Wow. Never expected to see Axel in one of these things, though I'm far from disappointed. You can tell that Kingdom Hearts II had a big impact on the nominations, because Axel is a character that I expect very little from in this thing. His role in Kingdom Hearts II just wasn't that great for me to think he can hang with the likes of Sora, Riku, or even Kairi. I love the guy, but not even the full power of Kingdom Hearts combined would be able to topple THE KING OF SFF. Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Mega Man: N/A Axel: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Upcoming Releases Mega Man: N/A Axel: N/A Not too much to say here. Just that if Axel performs well on THE KING OF SFF that we're going to have to expect very big things from KH2 as this contest goes on. Look out, Snake, Crono, and Link!!! Karma Hunter's Vote: Axel. Commit it to memory. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Mega Man with 77.8%. I feel like I'm going too high here, but the possibility of Axel just bombing like crazy is too palpable to ignore. Upset Potential: 0% GOT IT MEMORIZED? |

Guest’s Analysis - Heroic Citan The first thing you may notice is that MM got a 2 seed. Let me assure you; that does not matter. Did that hurt Crono last year? No. Mega Man's first opponent is Axel, a fan-favorite from the Kingdom Hearts series. KH got four representatives in this year. That's insane. This is the work of KHII no doubt. But it doesn't matter here. Mega Man is in no danger of doing bad here. Axel is not going to be as strong as Sora or Riku. However, he isn't going to be nothing either. He'll certainly be stronger than Conker but not by that much. Final Verdict: Mega Man wins with 73.81% Crew Consensus: Axel may be a fan-favorite, but it won't get him far against Mega Man. 70% range looks to be good. |

see, there's your night vote - a stall. we'd have to wait another hour
or so until Ryu started going back up and by then the poll is over.
there's no more second night vote. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

This'll be great for comebacks and things like that. Imagine if
Snake/Bowser had been held under the new poll time. Bowser would have
been taking off tons of votes up until almost the very end while Snake
would have been desperately stalling...sure, you're likely going to
have it end up with the same margin, but it would have been a lot more
exciting without a 'second night vote' that we all knew was coming. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Yeah, like I said, it would've probably ended up at the same margin
again...but you wouldn't know that at the time. Whereas back during
Snake/Bowser I was never really that worried because Snake was going to
recover with the second night vote -- even if Bowser had grabbed the
lead it wasn't going to hold. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I wouldn't have been worried because Snake's lead would've likely

heh, the closest that match got is at 23:55 EST. I really don't think
the poll time matters, the only difference is that the midnight start
time is more balanced than before so it generally ends around where it
starts. the old poll time was better if you liked voter shifts. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

This is late, but hopefully this one will actually be posted: Extreme Scenarios: Mega Man Vs. Axel Scenario 1 Mega Man with 64.35% None of the Kingdom Hearts II characters have let us down yet in this contest, and if this trend continues Axel should be able to do pretty damn well for himself also. Axel and Riku are two of the badasses of the series and they could be roughly equal in popularity. This is what a super boosted Riku might be able to get on Mega Man, so that's what I'll say for Axel as well. Scenario 2 Mega Man with 80.78% On the other hand, Axel might be even less popular than Ansem. Axel wasn't in the first Kingdom Hearts game, so to some extent he is still playing catch up within the fanbase. Mega Man has also shown a propensity for blowing out fodder, and if Axel ends up being fodder he might be in the position to get embarrassed by the Blue Bomber. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

I've got zero idea of what to expect in this match. I think Axel's
performance should tell us how much KH2 is going to affect the contest
though. if he breaks 30%, I'll be really interested in Squall/Snake. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |
