Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not), but if I recall correctly, it was
you saying that Dirge of Cerberus was going to be a good game because
they were fixing all the mistakes that the japanese version had. Ding! Before the bracket release, I made some stupid argument about DoC hurting Vincent and Squall being the favourite in a rematch (I had forgotten about Post-FFX2 Yuna and Post-DMC2 Dante). HM was the main one arguing with me there. "You honestly don't think Vincent is going to get a decent boost from a game starring him? Besides, they're likely going to fix the US version anyway." That was roughly what he said. Thanks for reminding me, TRT. What say you, HM? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 24/24 Today: Megaman |

Mega Man/Snake 2004 was flukish. I think Snake will pull closer than he
did in 2k3, but Mega Man will still eke out a victory. I say it will go
52-48. I want
Sonic to beat Crono and nearly took the upset... But something just
didn't seem right. Sonic already overperformed his ass off against Mega
Man. Even if it was totally legit, I don't see him stepping up AGAIN to
take out Crono. He might make it close, but I don't see him winning. I
hope I'm wrong though. --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

With KH2, it's not really that hard of a conclusion to make. Tifa and
Squall are already above or on par with at least Zelda and Zero going
just by the 2k5 stats, and they have KH2 (and it's Tifa's first KH
game, for kicks). Ganny's the big wild card, but he could possibly be
weaker. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Smurf would have to feed Sonic about 5000 votes for Sonic to win that,
and even then it might not be enough. There are signs of a swingback in
Square's favor this contest. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, Castlevania: LoI |

something just didn't seem right. Sonic already overperformed his ass

stepping up AGAIN to take out Crono. I'm banking on Crono FINALLY decreasing...and the new, younger influx of voters voting for the character who has had the most recent exposure; Sonic the Hedgehog. Of course, it's a complete gamble and Crono's the favourite. But with the right voter shift, it could happen. Younger voters have especially come in since KH2. A KH2 Sonic boost?

I'm adhering to a strict policy of giving Nintendo characters at least
a 5% advantage in favorite status against Square characters around
their level until a non-Noble Square character gets over the hump
against a Ninty one. If Vincent beats Ganondorf I'll feel much more
confident in Square, but 'till then... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

For the record, the least I expect from Sonic this year is to
outperform Megaman on Crono. If he doesn't even manage that, I'll
definitely be sceptical about him in the future. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 24/24 Today: Megaman |

Yeah, well it could finally happen this year! I mean, it's been 10
years since Crono's last appearance or something. People turn 13 every
day. Crono would still have a massive fanbase to work off, but Sonic's
is increasing while Crono's remains pretty much stagnant and/or
dropping. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 24/24 Today: Megaman |

Sonic won't beat Crono because, let's face it, Sonic is the NN's
biggest choker. Blowing away a 1500 vote lead to Samus in the final
hours of a poll in which he was the overwhelming favorite to win,
getting doubled by Cloud, not even bothering to show up to the rematch
against Samus, choking against Mega Man when he was in a perfect
position to steal the match from him. I'd be surprised if he took down
Crono. --- Character Battle V Score - 22/23 points Current Prediction - Mega Man vs. Axel |

There is a big argument for Crono decreasing in 2005, of course. Not by
anything monumental, but depending on who you use to adjust the stats
Crono could have taken a bit of a dip. Of course, what you would attribute said dip to, whether it be CT aging or just random variation, is up to you. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Crono's performances have at times already suggested that he's in decline. But the x-stat system in place, rewards only a characters final performance. Of which, he tends to do very well. He has a dedicated fanbase, but not a huge one. Which means that its very easy to overperform on him when you're losing, very difficult to overperform on him when you're winning. The thing that I'm mostly intrested in his the voter increase this year. Those increases are not from Cronos base. Those are mostly new school gamers. That will be Crono's downfall. --- My World is still Smurf! |

Why do people continually hold Sonic's loss to Mega Man against him?
Sure, he gave away a lead but he wasn't even supposed to be in the
match in the first place! And he still only barely
lost. That's like saying Squall is a choker because he failed to
capitalize on Vincent keeping him in the match or something... --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

But it was the way Sonic lost that was humiliating. He had built up a
ton of momentum during the day and was on his way to coming back when
all of a sudden his momentum just...stopped. Then Mega Man used the
second night vote to pull away. I still think that was his biggest
choke. --- Character Battle V Score - 22/23 points Current Prediction - Mega Man vs. Axel |

...Samus had better odds to win SC2K2 than Sonic did. He wasn't the overwhelming
favorite. Besides, calling Sonic a choker for losing that is tantamount
to calling Crono a choker for losing to Mario in 2003. It wasn't
entirely legitimately his fault. And I really don't know why people consider losing to Mega Man a choke job when few people gave him any chance of even being competitive. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Yeah, this match is making me feel marginally better about Yoshi's
chances against Dante. Axel is getting 30% on Mega Man, and he's not
even in Riku's league. Actually, Riku 2k5 will only be projected to get 53% or so on Axel by the end of this, I think, assuming a static Mega Man. That's phenomenal. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

The Snake support here is absolutely ridiculous. Just because you all

And seriously, Axel's role in KH2 was a letdown after CoM. Sure he was
awesome in the beginning... but nothing really distinguished him from
the rest of Organization XIII after that. I'd even say that Demyx
stole the show from him in KH2. Axel's cool design nonwithstanding, if
he didn't have CoM and all the preview hype, I'd put him as Demyx's
equal in popularity. --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Pre-KH2 Axel still > Ansem to me. KH2 only allowed Axel to fully
realize his potential among the fanbase. He was still incredibly hyped
before the release of CoM/KH2. And KH fans ate up every
single preview tidbit that was dropped after KH (including Deep Dive,
etc.) Or am I the only one who remembered the tons of discussions about
"Unknown 1", "Duel-wielding unknown", etc.? --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Is Axel really that far behind Riku? Axel's CoM role seems like it
would've been enough to make him high end fodder even before KH2... But Riku's portion of Chain of Memories is generally considered to be the highlight of the game, so...it'd cancel out at best. and who's KH2 role was bigger, Axel's or Riku's? Axel's role wasn't that large in KHII, at least in terms of screen time, once you get past the introduction with Roxas. If you actually beat the game, Riku will have left a bigger impression on you, I think. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

You're certainly not the only one, mnm, but you're talking about the
HARDCORE fanbase there, the one that followed and gobbled up the
previews like crazy. That's like saying Midna would have any semblance
of strength if we just threw her in the contest right now. Sure, she'll
have the hardcore Zelda vote, but to everyone else she simply wouldn't
be recognized. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
