Zelda should be on the list if that's the case, because she'll be beating smaus!

From Mac Arrowny
I'd just like to make a note that the Nintendo boost that comes about thanks to SSBB is going to be far larger than what we saw in 2k5. Just so you know.

Yeah, and if Zelda gets a Sheik picture, Samus loses her largest fanbase.

...Snake seems insistent on keeping Mega Man at 44% or below. The after school vote has done nothing.

It's been two hours since the dreaded 3:00 mark. Mega Man has sliced a total of .18% off of Snake's percentage since then. =/

WTF indeed.

Well it's hard to find a scenario in which Snake isn't at least in contention to win the whole contest.

Unless Sora didn't boost at all from KH2... and Megaman is poo-poo >_>

She's going to at least get 45%+ in that match. It isn't going to be any sort of blowout at all.

SSBM is for all intents and purposes the same thing as SSB.

The difference is that SSB is for the N64, upon which Samus had no games, and SSBM is for the GCN, upon which Samus had two games, one of which gave her a huge boost. I'd say that SSBM isn't really a much larger part of Samus's strength than it is for any other Nintendo character.

Wow, can't believe I forgot Ness.

Hmmm...I know Ness was generally THE favorite of SSB-players, and Samus was high up there too I believe. Samus was still solid in SSBM as well, and -- though greatly reduced -- Ness wasn't bad in it either...

...hmmm.

I doubt it, and I certainly hope not.

I love the original Mega Man series. MMX too, though not as much. MM Zero... not bad. But Mega Man himself has become such a washed up hack. Sonic got what he deserved last year. Mega Man is getting what he has deserved for YEARS, and seeing a character as ****ing awesome as Snake doing the honors makes this match all the better. The only real downside here is how annoying Super Luigi is, but that's a minor factoid that can safely be ignored with GameFOX.

Snake forever!

I'm afraid I don't see what you are trying to do there, Arrowny.

Just making the point that strength in the series contest is irrelevant. We've seen post-SSBM Kirby gain 8% from new games, yet his series is still weak as hell. Kirby and Samus are just far more popular than their games...SSB/M make a difference, and it's a large one, but they certainly do get strength from their own games.

Awesome picture! It could stand to be a little brighter, maybe, but it's great! I love massive-shoulders Samus!

Mega Man just refuses to win an update here, where even Squall and Yoshi could. Hell, even Snake took his fair share in 2004.

There is not a single redeeming aspect of this performance. Except the sentiment that it's not likely to get any worse in the future.

Sonic got what he deserved last year.

Dammit, Ulti, I'm sick of your anti-Sonic bias. Are you saying that having a close match against someone who was expected to beat him easily was what he deserved? Forgetting how he got smashed by Cloud and Samus embarassing him twice?

If he wins tomorrow, THAT's what he deserves.

I still maintain that Mega Man is more likely to get into SSBB then Sonic is, so maybe MM won't be the weakest NN come next year....well I can hope anyway. But yeah, this beatdown just sucks total ass.
