Hell you probably would of supported that statement back when TP first came out :P

Midna's going to do solid though. No Zelda or Ganon, that's pretty obvious, but she's going to be seen. If she can double Tingle, she will already be around the Tidus's and Master Chief's of this site. Considering that Midna is liked while Tingle is ridiculed and Tingle comes from two of the most love/hate games in the LoZ series while Midna comes from one of the most favored LoZ games -- not to mention the newest -- and you have a solid case for Midna doing even better. Nintendo's also even bigger than last year, too...so I'd take Midna to be higher, though I don't know how much higher I'd go.

Barring terribly tough draws (Ganon last year), three of them are guaranteed to do so. Midna should round out the pack by doing decently enough.

I can't see myself supporting that statement anytime, really. I think Midna will end up being pretty good -- she won't be fodder -- but she isn't going to be up there with Zelda after one game. She was liked, sure, but not that much. She'd probably get taken care of by a number of higher-up Nintendo characters. I'm expecting something Tidus-ish from her, which is actually pretty good all things considered.

yeah, Midna being at Zelda's level is crazy talk.

Midna being at Tidus's level sounds reasonable, though.

As it's been said, I really hope that we're getting a regular old 64 character contest, no gimmicks. But I'm not that optimistic, considering the comments Ceej made about having a twist. Maybe if SB's taking over he'll nix any crappy twists... we can hope, anyway.

Tran ruining the bold prediction party!


Probably not a popular sentiment around here, but I'm pegging Raiden right around Sub-Zero's range this year (can take someone like Master Chief, can put up respectable numbers against Auron). No idea how spot on I'll be with that, but I'll welcome the risk!

I still have no idea why Nightmare was one of the nomination rally winners. I'm pretty sure he's going to bomb if he makes it in.

I'll take somebody liked from a loved game like LoZ:TP over somebody loved/hated from a loved/hated game like MGS2.

I'm all for Raiden being Noble Nine though, don't mistake me for that!

BOLD PREDICTION: If Clinkeroth is in the contest this time, all in different quarters of the bracket, one of them will miss the Final Four. If not, there will be a non-Noble Niner in the Final Four.

Good point, good point.

I do think we've got through something of a transition from back during 2003. Bitters tears have been shed over not being able to play as Snake in MGS2, and I think there's been something of an acceptance of Raiden in recent times. Plus -- and here's where the points are made -- Raiden's undergone some cosmetic changes between '03 and now, if you know what I mean. wink wink

no guru contest in this topic anymore. in fact, there's not even a point to a signup since people will join anyway.

along with that, we won't have to sift through a hundred signup posts in order to get to the real stuff.

Agree with that. I'm not even sure what the original purpose was of putting the Guru in here, but whatever it was, I don't think it made much difference. Might as well just make one big master topic on the board.

Pssh. Just trying to throw people off the trail! You gotta nomination rally and everything!


New Year's? Snake might be able to do something after getting Brawl. It'd be more ideal for him if it came after Brawl and MGS4, but he could put some fear into Seph. Don't think those other two could do it, though.
