*sigh* That's actually one of Snake's pictures from Metal Gear 2: Solid
Snake for the MSX. A game that was not released in America, and that
has only gotten significant playership today through MGS3: Subsistence. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

| Sorta. It's kind of like his picture in the
original Metal Gear, where it was obviously modeled after Kyle Reese

Well When youre in Zimbabwe Land, you have to look like a slave trader to scare the locals. Yes, that may have gone too far. --- "I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it. " -Steve Irwin |

Snake is making very, very sure that he will never be susceptible to upsets from the likes of Bowser again. o_O If this keeps up we'll be calling for putting him in the sprite round against other Noble Niners just to see if they'll have a chance. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

And for the record, with the current percentage Bowser is worth 35.18% on Solid Snake. For comparison, Frog 2k5 is worth 37.78 on Snake 2004, and 33.77% on Snake 2005. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I find it hard to believe that Snake boosted this much due to a trailer
and hype...but apparently, those people were probably right. This
result was literally eye-popping! Hard to believe this is the same guy who put up two of the most pathetic performances ever (Frog and Bowser). He's now putting up some of the most impressive. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Ryu gets 37.48% on Snake this year (and he got 42.74% in 2003). To compare Ryu and Snake to previous years would mean that we'd have concrete values for them, which we simply don't have. Although we could use a constant Mega Man (isn't he fun!), which puts Ryu at 32.55 on BL, a half point above his peak 2k4 value. Oh, and Snake is a little higher than Mario but never mind that --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I think Snake can possibly take out Mario after SSBB. After that
releases, he'll have the backing of both the MGS fans (and he's a noble
niner with just this) and Nintendo fans. --- Currently Playing: Xenosaga Episode 3, Final Fantasy XII, Tales of the Abyss, King of Fighters 2002/2003 |

Oh, and on a final note, Ryu is very likely going to end up above Bowser this year. VERY likely. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Yeah, that's nice smurf. We all know how you allude to vote stuffing to

Snake SFFing Sonic characters is the most ridiculous thing ever. And the fact that I can entertain the possibility in my mind scares me. This performance is TOO strong. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Sonic will bounce back to at the very least 46%. So don't entertain such nonsense. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

Nah. Sora is barely projected to break 40% on Snake. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Yeah, I forgot how much Knux used to gain on Snake during the day. Hopefully Sonic will do the same. --- Supporter of Sonic The Hedgehog |

Well, what explanation is there for such a ridiculous result? Gordon Freeman winning a match really DID cause the universe to implode and now GameFAQs has become Bizarro GameFAQs where Snake isn't the ass end of the noble nine and Clinkeroth consists of the three weakest characters in contest history and now Snake will beat Link with 99.99% in the BR final? |

No way Sonic gains as much as Knuckles in the day, let alone on this Snake. He'll be doing very, VERY good to outdo MM's performance. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

With the way Snake is performing, he could probably steamroll Samus with at least 52% of the vote or more. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

The sad thing about this match is that it pretty much means that MM hangs onto Noble 9 status for another year. *sigh* The sadest thing about this match is that Snake has always been the weakest noble nine character, even if he's the most developed character. Then he shows up in a trailer for the new fanboyfapfest game and............. --- Supporter of Sonic The Hedgehog |

Us Snake fans are like Ness fans. Sure, we're not getting the
popularity for the right reasons. But I'll take it where I can get it. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

My proposed implications - Snake boosted far beyond the level of Mario. - Squall was not SFFed. - Yoshi overperformed because of Solid **** - Ryu and Kratos somehow boosted madly. - Vincent remained the same. - Sonic, Crono and even Mega Man remained about the same. - Auron remained the same. - Bowser plummeted like crazy. A lot of that stuff doesn't match, and unless Samus suffers a similiar defeat, I'd put this down as an overperformance. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
| creativename | Posted 11/12/2006 1:22:55 AM | message detail |
|
At this point, I think Samus beating Snake would be an even bigger upset than Sonic over Crono. And I'm assuming that Sonic brings this down 2-3 points during the day. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

How do you mean that? Sonic > Crono wasn't that big of an upset
according to the board, heck there were more people taking that than
Mega Man > Snake (as an aside, the casuals are going to OWN the
board if Snake wins this thing). If you mean by prediction
percentage...again, Snake's just too good with that. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Honestly, I think the Brawl announcement makes more sense than anything else. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2362 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2373 E3 happened between those two polls, and Twilight Princess didn't do jack at E3 this year.

The votals are 5000 higher than Sonic/Crono at this time. Which is
suspicious because thats the exact number of votes that Snake leads by.
