Luigi's bracket support was a bit higher than I expected, I thought it would be 65%. I think Luigi should be the favorite against Kirby. I'd take Luigi over Yoshi now without thinking about it. On Bowser vs. Leon, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bowser match what Mega Man did last year. Even if he matched Mega Man I'd still expect Crono to beat him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

don't forget the PS2 release of RE4, cn. it's hard to say how much that would do, but it's gotta be worth something. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

I haven't read this topic or the last one, but I assume Sonic is the favorite over Mega Man now? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Yeah, I can't see Bowser matching Mega Man's performance with RE4 out on the PS2. Though he could still break 60%. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

Considering Nintys usual popularity with the casual bracket maker, and the fact that luigi was a two seed, it isn't that
surprising that the prediction percentage was that high. I mean casuals
have gotten burned just as badly on matches that most of us here
considered forgone conclusions. Hell, even in this contest we've
already seen a majority of them take kratos over ryu. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

Bowser's projected to get 62.37% right now. I think the possibility of
Bowser boosting this year is pretty high, so even with the PS2 version
of RE4 out, it might just cancel it out and produce about the same
results. --- "That's a cruel, rotten, disgusting idea -- and I love it!" |

Sonic, the favorite over Mega Man? You mean...Snake, right? =p If I had to wager a guess...I might curse my Oracle pick, but if I had to guess how Crono's percent will change, he'll end up 4-5% lower than he is now. Captain Falcon gets his fame from SSBM, and SSBM has a monstrous day vote, maybe even rivaling Master Chief or Kingdom Hearts. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

I'd take ness over as falcon easily as well, and attribute SOME of his
strength to earthbound. It's actually one of the more popular downloads
on snes rom sites, so once again I think roms might boost him a bit. Although to be fair, very few people would have ever played earthbound without SSB bringing ness into the mainstream so that people have actually heard of him. --- When D...

Sonic would have to go through Crono to see Mega Man. should that happen, yeah I'd call him the definite favourite. Oops, thought they were facing off. I guess it would apply to Snake then. Can't see Snake as the favorite in that yet though...I'd say it's close to a toss-up right now. Who the favorite will be there will probably depend on how they do the next couple rounds. Should be a hyped up match when the time comes regardless. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mega Man have the less impressive performances until the match, then still pull out the win. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I still think Ness has the edge on CF in the SSB/F fanbase, especially
for the original SSB...and I've maintained Ness is bigger to EB than CF
is to his entire series as well as EB being bigger here than the entire
F-Zero series. Most of that can't be PROVEN right now, but I think today helps this claim and sentiment --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Crono is bringing up his percentage hugely right now... If he keeps
this up he'll definitely hold on to the tripling, although given his
usual day vote I wouldn't count on it. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

This performance right now puts Captain Falcon around 18.5% on BL.

margin. --- "That's a cruel, rotten, disgusting idea -- and I love it!" |

I'd like to point out that just like Chrono Trigger, Earthbound was an
amazingly popular ROM. Even though it didn't perform too impressively
back on the SNES, it got pretty decent exposure from emulation, and I'd
expect that his ROM fanbase would be somewhat different from his SSB/M
fanbase. It definitely gives him an advantage over CF, since GameFAQs
hates racing games so much. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I already brought up the rom factor, but it's good that other people
hold the same belief of roms being a significant enough factor in the
strength of certain snes games/characters. I mean, I'd be almost
shocked if the amount of people that have played earthbound on rom
wasn't significantly larger then the amount who have played it on an
actual snes. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

Even if Falcon is weaker than Ness (which I'm still not sold on), I'm finding it really hard to imagine Crono decreasing significantly like so many postulated he would. Sonic's going to have to win that match on his strength, not Mr. DBZ's weakness. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

And really, 81% or so on CATS as opposed to 77% on Falcon (granted,
it'll go down once the day hits)...I want Sonic to pull it out, but
he's got an uphill road ahead of him. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Bowser/Leon should be interesting, if only to see how they differ from what's expected form them in 2k2. Alucard/Auron should be a good chance for Auron to validate his strength.

I don't expect Bowser/Leon or Auron/Alucard to be especially
interesting since I'm expecting Bowser and Auron to crush their
respective opponents. MC/Sub-Zero has the potential to be interesting, but I don't think MC will struggle to the point where the match will be interesting to watch. --- Character Battle V Score - 26/28 points Current Prediction - Crono vs. Captain Falcon |
