Can you please tell me how the fans of a third person stealth game can interlap with fans of a turn-based RPG game? I mean, the genres are like the complete opposite of the spectrum here. So you've never played a Mario game and a Final Fantasy game? I MEAN IF YOU LIKE PLATFORMERS YOU CAN ONLY PLAY PLATFORMERS, IF YOU LIKE RPG YOU CAN ONLY PLAY RPG. --- Portugal.

A Mega Man FPS for the Wii would kick ass. You wouldn't be able to aim up or down. It'd be like the original Doom with a remote control. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

The amount of SFF in this match is equal to the amount in Bowser/Leon or Ryu/Kratos. Except it isn't and there's no reason to believe this. Even based on Squall 2003, this is better than Snake is projected to do. --- Deluded boy. Nobility is forever. The Snake has triumped over the Squallid. |

IF YOU LIKE PLATFORMERS YOU CAN ONLY PLAY PLATFORMERS, IF YOU LIKE RPG
YOU CAN ONLY PLAY RPG. EC, look at this please: The amount of SFF in this match is equal to the amount in Bowser/Leon or Ryu/Kratos. I already covered that point. This match has as much SFF as every other match in this contest. --- - Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2?

Vincent could potentially win this match. Vincent and Squall may be damned close, but nothing SFFes FFVII. Period. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

| And Soul, MGS and FF7 were probably the two
must-owns on the PS1. Obviously there's some kind of overlap there. I'd
love to see Cloud/Snake though. I can see Snake overperforming due to
his character model being much more badass. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Take out the FF7/MGS match and the FF/MGS series match* (as
games/series should be no indication of the character's strength or SFF
abilities). k then, that still leaves Sephiroth vs. Liquid, Snake vs. Sora (not just pic factor presumably), Tifa vs. The Boss, and the contest histories of both Snake and Squall. I see the point you're making, Soul, but there's a ton of evidence that's just too hard to ignore. --- This was Ed Bellis. |

EC, look at this please: The amount of SFF in this match is equal to the amount in Bowser/Leon or Ryu/Kratos. Uh... no, that doesn't even make sense. Bowser is potentially overrated in 2K5 thanks to an overperformance on Bowser in the sprite round, and even if he isn't, Leon's game RE4, has sold more copies than it had total sales in 2K5, he has every reason to boost up that high, especially going to another system, and the most highly owned one on this site. Guess what? Kratos had tons of reason to be underrated last year (Snake/Sora), and his game sold another 600,000 copies since last year, Ryu is potentially overrated once again. There's nothing like that in this match. Snake got MGS3:Sub which didn't sell that great, and Leon got KH2 (lol). Just stop. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

And since people seem to have completely forgotten about this match,
since the freeze, Snake has only pulled in 1 update less than 60%,
which was that 59% that was the result of him dropping off 100 votes
while Squall stayed the same. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Far? Bro, when I ever say "far"? Winning is winning, even if it's by
some stupidly low margin like 7 votes. All I know is, anyone who'd
blindly take Ganon before TP comes out would get to hear me laugh at
them for days on end. That match would be damn close, Squall just has
the definitive edge for a couple weeks. That's the only thing I can think when you go say something crazy like he can't do it before TP and might not after TP. That match would probably end up being projected to be something like 51/49 in favor of Squall, which by no means whatsoever guarantees him a victory. We have no clue where he stands right now; we just know that they two are likely to end up close to each other. There's nothing remotely blind -- except maybe in your own crazy head -- about taking Ganon over Squall before TP. Squall's "edge" is the result of blowing out Tidus and KH2. There's nothing wrong with taking him based on that, but it's hardly something that gives him a clear edge in a match. He could very well end up weaker than Ganon after the KH2 boost. We'll just have to wait and see. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

So, Squall or Zelda? A close match that Squall likely wins this year, but I think Zelda would take it next year. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Snake is going to be cruising with 60% for a while. It's the day vote
you need to keep an eye on. If Squall doesn't make much headway, I'll
be a believer in the Snake boost. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I wouldn't be too surprised if Snake does win this contest. He's the
main casual pick to win the male bracket, and has bracket support in
every single one of his matches. Add to the fact that he is the
character of the year (since E3), and now he's got the Sony and
Nintendo fans by his side (even if Brawl isn't out yet, many Nintendo
fans are ****ing ecstatic in seeing a Sony character showing up in a
Nintendo game), he could be stronger then ever. --- - Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2? Forgive me, XIII. |

Snake seems to be dropping. I really don't see squall finishing with
under 40%, but there's still going to be a big difference on what snake
gets on him compared to what he's expected to get on him. --- 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! |

I've been wondering about MM/Ryu SFF for a while...he didn't seem to
pull any on Leon back in 2005, but then again, Leon looks a helluva lot
stronger looking at Bowser this year. If MM beats down Ryu far worse than expected, I'll feel better about Leon doing so well on Bowser. Or maybe not, since Bowser beat Ryu last year...ick. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
