No, it's not. You really think Big Boss got enough nominations for a 1 seed? Because he didn't, and if you tell me he did, I'm going to download gamefox, and put you on my blocklist for being mentally challenged.


If SB has the smarts to combine "Big Boss" with the "MGS3 guy", then it's not impossible. We know how strong Snake has become and how popular MGS3 is...and BB got a melted art pic in 2k5 (always a bad sign) and was portrayed as his old-school metal gear self. If all the big guns' supporters were complacent (thought Mario was getting in anyway, didn't nom him) then I think he might.

Why would he get a higher nomination this year then he did last year? I seriously doubt people nominated Naked Snake last year, and Ceej simply ignored all the nominations and threw them out, all he did was change the name to Big Boss for the contest.

Oh, they mean something.

All of the characters we see are more or less assured to make it into the contest, though I doubt the seeding/matches are reliable. Again, ZELOS.

XIII, Axel had two nominations at the last B8 tally. Two. Yet he get a 1-seed based on nominations, according to you. Mewtwo had over 100. Now, if you want to believe that all of the characters listed here had enough noms to make it in, fine. If you think this "bracket" is entirely nomination based... I'm sorry, but that's beyond stupid.

Agent 47 and Arthas having 3 seeds and Kefka having a 1 seed despite not making the field last year kinda makes it obvious that it's random.

I would say, if you haven't see a guy in a contest before but he's on these new whacky brackets, then I'd say it's a good chance he's in. Everyone else - who knows. Maybe someone like Pyramid Head is in because they went with a 128 comprehensive bracket with a few newcomers. Maybe he's just sitting in a table somewhere being grabbed by whatever sql command grabbed him for no real reason.

Random 128

Book it

We probably won't be able to see the other 8 divisions due to there not being a 128 bracket in the database already

This would make 2k2 look like it had proper seeding.

FUN FACT: If this was the real bracket Crono got the exact same placing as he did last year.

I think Protoman is definite, and we'll probably see Balthier and Basch from FF12. Maybe Ashe too.
