Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 406

I don't think Snake being in a SSB trailor is suddenly making him a part of the Nintendo fanbase if they've never played his games before. If he's up against fodder, or characters who aren't exactly mainstream, I'd say he could overperform because people who are indifferent to both of them could say "Oh hey it's that new guy in SSBB" and vote for him. But when he's up against someone like Squall, from the 2nd biggest FF game, it's kind of hard for me to believe a simple trailor is going to make people want to vote him over Squall.

People seem to forget that all the excitement about Snake being in SSBB comes from Snake fans who would love to see him in the game, not from SSB fans who want some guy they are indifferent to being added.

Wow, Leon. Vincent's real determined to prove you wrong. Pulled 57% that last update. Again, I concede it will not be enough.

I see people on SSBB forums every day that talk about how they've picked up an MGS game to learn about Solid Snake. There's no doubt in my mind that a hell of a lot of people picked up the Earthbound games to see what they were thanks to Ness.

A simple trailer for Snake isn't any more of a stretch than a simple trailer for Link in 2k4 or a simple cameo for Cloud in 2k3 -- oh wait, EC doesn't believe in KHF!!!

*points and laughs at EC*

Nope, and I've never bought into hype, or the trailor either! You know why? Because I'm not crazy!

I just realized that it's possible for the male finals to be a close match (not HIGHLY likely, but still possible). Wouldn't it be funny watching the analysis crew trying to predict Samus/whatever when it's still unclear who her opponent will even be? Not to mention it'd be a pain for CJay as well..

Vincent is winning quite a few updates here. He's definitely probven himself to be a potential noble nine breaker if given the right match. I'm actually tempted to say that he's capable of beating megaman this year, but I'll let megaman have at least one more match before judging his strength this year.

Actually, Leon: Im kinda rooting he doesn't breach 48. Makes me look real oraclish.

message detail 30,000 on Vincent.

You can debate Tifa~Vincent strength all you want, but Vincent boosted and Tifa would have recieved a boost on AC, if her match with Sonic was at that point. Add a DoC boost and Vincent's gaining 4 points.

Vincent hits almost 48.

Extremely nice show from Vincent here. He definitely proved he has plenty of strength in these contest here. I can officially concede on the Devil Division being overrated -- but it doesn't matter since Ganondorf is actually above 2003 levels at this point !!

2k5 stats are likely a tad inflated in my mind anyway, and we still need to see how Sonic does later on. For all we know Hybrid CATS =~ Eggplant CATS and Sonic is back at his 2004 level!

How bad would Kirby need to own Luigi to make PoP = Zero? Yes I know no such thing will be happening in this lifetime, but just for ****s and giggles.

I think BL needs to get changed to 2004/2005 level, personally.

Explicit Content's Fantabulous Contest Analysis:

I've only done two of these for this contest so far, and both times I owned faces off. The only logical conclusion to draw from this? That I'm obviously going to be dead goddamn on again. Tradition, it just doesn't enjoy being broken folks.

I could talk about how strong Kirby must be after rocking PoP like that, or how pathetic Luigi is after that pitiful showing with Zero, but instead, I'll give you a few words of advice.
Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie
That funky Monkey

Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey here's how you feel
Put your left leg down, your right leg up
Tilt your head back let's finish the cup
M.C.A. with the bottle
D. rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet, we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us
Adrock drinks three
Mike D. is D.
Double R. foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a catle in Brooklyn that's where I dwell


Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie
That funky Monkey

Cause I drink it anytime and anyplace
When it's time to get ill I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew, we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip, the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip

Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie
That funky Monkey

Step up to the bar put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip, you can do it, you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar, I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, def
Girls, girls
All y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record I got my advance
I drink it
I think it
I see it
I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it
We got the bottle you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get ffffff

Brass Monkey, that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey junkie
That funky Monkey

In conclusion, Kirby dominates faces.

EC's Prediction That Is So Right It Hurts: Kirby wins with 58.74%

I will say that while I'm scared of Luigi in this match -- much like I was scared of Knuckles > Squall in 2005 -- every time I look at that match picture it just fills me with a great feeling. Kirby just fills THE WHOLE DAMN SCREEN THERE.

Another match where there's no real excuse for the character I'm backing if they lose. I hope this doesn't establish a pattern...
