Although it's somewhat already begun, I hope no one reads too much into
this. Axel is another one of those characters that has a huge range of
possible values. He could easily be stronger than we imagine. --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Z1mZum made me look like Shadow Hearts in the Guru contest. |

Yeah. If Kairi can get passed the 1st round, I don't think any KH character being stronger than I thought is going to surprise. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

wow, what the hell? this doesn't tell me a thing about Mega Man. we have zero idea how strong Axel is. I guess, if you wanted, you could blame this huge increase on KH2 coming out last week in Europe. but really, we have zero idea about Axel, so I'm not gonna draw any conclusions from this match at all. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

If the european release of KH2 was going to matter much, Riku would have performed better on Yoshi. This is Megaman crapping himself aganist fodder. He's out of the noble 9. --- Smurf. The Cream of Knuckles Fanboyism. |

Just for fun. If we say that there were nothing wrong with Megaman VS Yoshi last year, then how close to Riku is Axel? And while I agree that we have no idea where Axel is, dropping like this can't be a good sign for the blue bomber =( --- Supporter of Alucard. |

enough to push KH2 back to second on the top 10. whoa, Pokemon Diamond is #1 despite only being out in Japan. I thought only Square games could pull that off. the FF12 leak has it at #9 as well - it's too bad there's not a debatable Square match com...

i knew there was something borked about all of the people who thought
Axel would be weaker than Conker! it looks like his percentage climb
has slowed down for now, but the afterschool vote could push him up to
28 or even 29%. for the record, Axel does have quite a prominent role
in both KH:CoM and KH2. so, this result doesn't surprise me or reduce
my faith in Megaman vs. Snake. but man, what if ALL of the remaining noble nine loses to FF/KH characters? just picture: Snake loses to Squall, Sonic loses to Vincent, Samus loses to Tifa, Mega Man loses to Sora and Crono loses to Auron! that would be seriously messed up. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.

Megaman got 67% on Tommy Vercetti at the year he got 53% on Snake Is TV much more stronger than Axel? I don't think so. And you really think Axel is weaker than Conker? Megaman stayed about the same,or even got stronger He WILL beat Snake --- your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon by a kid who is stupid! |

I woke up and clicked on the poll and my first reaction was "holy ****". I get the feeling that Axel getting something close to 30% isn't totally out of the question. --- CB5 Points: 21/23, Current Oracle placement: 31/162 Now playing: Okami |

Before-school vote: (6:00-8:00) - slightly under 70%... Compare that to
the night vote which had around 73%. Usually the afterschool vote is
stronger. Maybe we'll be seeing Axel nearly hit 29% by the end. That
would place Axel at over 22% on BL. ;) Looking good for all that said
Axel > Kairi. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

wait until next round to draw conclusions about Mega Man's strength. --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! |

Axel has had one game, where he wasn't a PC and it wasn't a FF/LOZ game. He's fodder by default. If you were to be generous to him, you could put him at Lloyds level. But even at that, MM should be getting 77%+ on him. Noble 9 needs to be reevaluated. --- My World is still Smurf! |

Ed is correct. wait until Freeman or Sora before drawing any conclusions about Mega Man. looks like I better change my stance on Yoshi > Sora while I'm at it. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

But that's the thing - he's untested. You could say the same thing
about, say, Ada Wong, and she may very well end up doing as well as
Jill or Claire by virtue of being in RE4. It's all speculation at this
point. Who wins between Soma and Axel, for example? We don't know yet. --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! |

he's untested Not completly. Using common logic and nominations he's a long way behind Riku, and in all liklihood behind Kairi too. Axel is a character whose here because KH2 is in recent memory. There's always a character like that in every contest. Tanner in 2004, Cj, and the Tos crew in 2005. They generally bomb below expectations and are never heard from again. Axel has the hype, but not the substance. This is NOT a noble 9 performance. --- My World is still Smurf! |

While I don't think we can REALLY judge MM's strength off this match, it's still damn funny. Go Axel, etc. However, one thing this match really does is firmly confirm that Sonic/Crono/Vincent/Ganon > Megaman (Not that we didn't know that already, but it just reaffirms it). --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 24/24 Today: Megaman |

(1) Riku (8) Chun Li Riku beats Thunder Thighs with 55%+ (4) Donkey Kong (5) Wario Tough one, but DK ekes out a win (3) Tommy Vercetti (6) Sub-Zero Sub-Zero shouldn't have too much of a problem with TV (2) Seifer Almasy (7) Diablo The FFVIII fans will show a surprising amount of support. Round 2 (1) Riku (4) Donkey Kong Probably the biggest "blowout" in this 8-pack (6) Sub-Zero (2) Seifer Almasy This is a tough one. My gut says Seifer, but I could see Subby winning. Finals: (1) Riku (2) Seifer Almasy Again, could go either way, though if Sub-Zero beat Seifer, I don't think he has a shot at taking down Riku.

I did not think Axel would be capable of a day vote like this at all. Definitely surprising. Of course as most people know this doesn't say very much about Mega Man yet. But it's good for Axel.

As a big fan of Mega Man, this doesn't look good for Mega Man. Now Mega
Man is going to be in a position to have to constantly prove himself,
thanks to none of us knowing where Axel is. I mean, sure, we should get
a good read by Ryu next round, but if Mega Man doesn't match Solid on
Ryu or Sora (42.74% and 34.74%, respectively) then the upset hounds
will be going nuts... ...and odds are, Mega Man'll smoke Solid against Ryu yet look like he's not even in contention of advancing to the Final Four when he beats Sora. Throw in there that Solid Snake is STILL hot **** from E3 this year and he's likely got the most bracket support of the contest, not to mention Solid did get a higher seed than Mega Man this year despite losing to him twice before (and, for the record, Solid's first loss was the closer of his two losses, when he had the higher seed in 2k3...take it as you will)... ...yeah, Mega Man is in a position to constantly prove himself now. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |
