Luigi is making up for Yoshi's underperformance and Ganon's loss
singlehandedly. Based on this performance, it looks like Nintendo may
indeed be even stronger than last year; they just have some company at
the top from the FF/KH crew. I'll wager that Nintendo ends Round 1 on a
good note with a respectable Captain Falcon performance and a Bowser
beating. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Even without a boost, I can see both of those things happening. Falcon
is a SSB character, so that's instant mid-carder right there. And Leon
may have already decreased due to RE4 being a year old now. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

I'm not buying a stronger Nintendo. Ganondorf lost a *little* too
easily, and Riku gaining that much on a boosted Yoshi just seems crazy. I mean, c'mon, why would they be significantly stronger than they were in 2k5? Using the Series Contest to justify another Ninty boost was just specious reasoning. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I think CF is going to do decent on Crono...nothing great, but enough
to match/outdo some of Ness's past SFF'd values so people will continue
to say CF > Ness. If that happens to be the case, I will be mad 'cuz
I'm so tired of hearing about CF/Ness. I hope CF either breaks 40% or
goes under 10%, that way we can just put that particular issue to rest. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Do keep in mind RE4 was ported to the PS2 and outsold the GC version since we last saw Leon...so -- while possible -- I really doubt it. I mean, to bring up the Top 100 List, RE4 was #14 before the PS2 port, so...we'll see what happens. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

The outside series don't even matter here. Captain Falcon beats Pikachu
because he's preferred by the SSB/M fanbase. That's all you need. I'm
banking on that being the exact same reason he crushes Ness. Earthbound means nothing here folks, and I'll hold to that until I go down in flames. <_<; --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Oh, something I have to point out here though. Pikachu is bigger to Pokemon than CF is to F-Zero Not. A. Chance. The original F-Zero had only four characters, and Captain Falcon was obviously billed as the main character. In F-Zero X he's part of the initial playable cast, and the rest of the characters outside of that cast have to be unlocked. In F-Zero GX he has his own story mode where ONLY he is playable, and which comprises a huge portion of GX's gameplay and the bulk of its difficulty. The F-Zero support *will* amount to nothing, but there's no way Pikachu is more to Pokemon than Falcon is to his series, even with all the exposure he's had. Pokemon is just so much more than Pikachu... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Just to throw it out there, if Crono and Leon both remained constant
from last year, Bowser would need to get 65.51% on Leon Kennedy to
match what Crono is expected to do to him. Also, from Bowser's value in 2005, it would require a boost of 3.05% to catch up to Crono 2k5. Koopa King to break the Noble Nine!! --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

Captain Falcon beats Pikachu because he's preferred by the SSB/M fanbase. Uh, what? From my experience, people love Pikachu in SSB/M. He was the clear #3 in SSB, and he was very casual-friendly. He's just as casual-friendly in SSBM, so I don't see why Falcon would have much of an advantage over Pikachu because of SSB/M alone. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

There's no way Falcon beats Pikachu if he's just running on F-Zero --
when I say 'preferred', I mean he's more popular. Pikachu is great to play in SSB/M, but he just doesn't have the edge in style that Falcon has -- not to mention that he's, y'know, Pikachu.

| Assuming Zero 2k6 is equal to Zero 2k5, Luigi is
put at 33.13% on Link 2k5, or around 35% on BL. That puts him under
Squall 2k5 and Vincent 2k5, but still slightly above Kirby 2k5. From Luigi 2k5, that would come out to be a 3.43% boost from NSMB and whatever other possible factor that could help him. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

As for New Super Mario Bros. ... 1.) It sold 1.3 million copies in the US and 1.09 million copies in Europe -- 5.6 million copies worldwide. The next Mario game above that in sales is Super Mario Bros. 2, for the record, and already surpassed Super Mario Sunshine. 2.) It peaked at the top spot in the FAQ listing and hung around for quite some time. NSMB is also still hanging around the Top 10 DS FAQs -- a Mario game being on any FAQ listing at all is rather mindboggling! 3.) NSMB got an average critic score of about 90%. I haven't added up the GameFAQs user scores, but they look extremely positive for the most part. 4.) According to a poll held in June 2006 (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2417), 27% of the 55% DS owners have a copy of it. At the time of the poll, 25% more were "very tempted" to pick it up -- in all likelihood a good percentage of those people have.

I'd expect Captain Falcon to at least 60-40 Ness, even without SFF coming into play for two reasons. First, because F-Zero is at least a bit more popular than Earthbound everywhere else except this site, and second because C.F. has the most famous of all moves from SSB. Falcon is known best for the Falcon Punch, which is why he more than anyone else (except possibly Kirby) would boost the most from SSBM. |

Is anybody really going to deny that Megaman is screwed after today? Just look at all the evidence and try to deny it. >_< 1) Megaman gets seeded for the first time ever behind Crono. And also behind Sora. 2) Zero is lucky to even get into the contest. The one time 3rd seed is reduced to a 7. 3) Megaman's poor performance in the series contest. Behind Metal Gear and a long way behind Sonic. 4) Megaman's choke job aganist Axel. Stuggling to double fodder? LOL 5) Zero's joke job aganist Luigi.

I do kind of agree. Well, not in the outlandish and trolling fashion
that Smurf puts it in. But I'd be willing to buy that Megaman really
did underperform in this match after seeing this. Luigi being the next
best candidate for a Noble 9 breaker just doesn't work for me. Zero bombing doesn't necearilly mean Megaman will, but it sure as hell isn't a good sign. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

hmm, okay: it makes sense that Luigi was the bracket favourite elsewhere and thus he took the opening vote. it looks like Zero's going 50/50 or so now, but Luigi's probably going to overwhelm him come daytime. I don't think Zero's ever had much of a day vote. I think someone mentioned that Zero could be like Ryu - real popular as long as he's not taking on a character with a real fanbase like Nintendo or Square. I've thought that for a while about Ryu, but I never thought it would happen to Zero. this is pretty surprising to me. if this is SFF, he resists vs. Mega Man and does reasonably well vs. Mario, but gets creamed by Luigi? this is the most surprising result I've seen this tournament and probably in the last year. I remember speculating last year about how Luigi/Sonic would go considering Mario/Shadow, but I don't think this would happen. Luigi is very, very different to Mario, easily recognizable and people flat out know him. I wouldn't be amazed if some of those Shadow voters didn't even know who he was and just voted Sonic over Mario. I'd laugh pretty hard if Luigi beat Sonic though, that'd be something to watch. I've officially lost hope for Sub-Zero > Master Chief. Scorpion's strength is somewhat reliant on Zero's performance vs. Sonic and if this is him getting exposed as opposed to a random drop or a Luigi boost, it just looks realllly bad for him. Luigi/Kirby will be an interesting match and I'm no longer convinced Kirby will win. I'd love to see Luigi take that. ...huh. Luigi, winning a match of import? huh. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.
