In fact Jak was the strongest of the
platforming characters. He even ranked above Conker. And then that's
not including any possible SFF that Auron may have suffered against
Sephiroth (Ness and Scorpion are both underrated). I still don't see why Jak isn't even entering the discussion... --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

Mario is in that match. Pac-Man has no chance in hell of getting second place. Yeah, that's kind of what I said in Point One, except I was trying to give a reasoning besides Contest History (not that you were, but others have). --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

It seems like Jak is being left out because RPGs tend to have the more
hardcore fanbases, which a 4 man battle helps. And that's true. But Jak
definitely needs to be discussed. --- Pokemon FC: 0129 8285 9148 Jump Ultimate Stars FC: 1504 2045 7334 |

Argh, I was already going to go to bed fretting over Alucard/Ness/Zidane/Liquid. Alucard > Liquid, but any combination not involving Zidane wouldn't shock me. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I'm still going to take Pac-Man as my second place character, there. Upset pick/gut pick. --- He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising. |

I've got Jak getting second place in that match, because he's
underrated by Auron's being SFFd by Sephiroth. If I remember correctly,
Jak and HK are something like 1.5% apart in the 2004 stats. When in
doubt, I go with whoever is more likely to be underrated. Worked for me
in picking Yoshi > Dante and Vincent > Ganon last year. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

Jak did get beaten by Ness pre-Nintendo boost, though. Hmm, 2003 Isaac beats 2002 Pikachu 60-40. Does Isaac have a shot here, or has Golden Sun become too old to compete? (I'm thinking too old, but Pikachu is fun to hate, and who knows what Serge does). Don't forget Isaac got SFF'd there. That keeps him from wearing out a little. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Luigi and Yoshi absolutely demolished Pac-Man. Just imagine for a
second what Mario is going to do to him. Pac could seriously get a
better percentage on Link than Mario. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

yeah, but how many people are going to go Mario > Pac-Man >
Luigi? not that many. Mario's not going to get 90% on Pac-Man or
anything. --- xexyz |

I really doubt Big Boss gets a MGS3 picture. The old man is Big
Boss, the young guy is Naked Snake, at least in the eyes of the fans. It'd be nice if he could get a picture from Portable Ops. That one is decidedly "Big Boss," just younger. http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4695/mpobossdq6.jpg --- Believe |

Jak did get beaten by Ness pre-Nintendo boost, though. And? pre-Nintendo boost Ness did just as well as Tails and Scorpion against Auron. In fact, we don't have any data on Ness post-Nintendo boost due to being demolished by Mario in 2k5. I don't see where your point comes in... --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

There's absolutely no way of knowing if Isaac got SFF'd or not. That's an absolute guess. Speaking of absolute guesses, I was trying to determine percentages for my personal analyses, and I've just realized how hard this is going to be. --- "As long as I'm with you...as long as you're by my side...I won't give up, even if I'm scared." - Tifa Lockheart |

This Isaac upset is looking more and more appealing, but it just
doesn't feel right to go with a guy who hasn't been relevant in years. --- Pokemon FC: 0129 8285 9148 Jump Ultimate Stars FC: 1504 2045 7334 |

I don't think Jak is the kind of character with staying power on this
site. It's why I picked Lloyd over him. HK worries me though. --- Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, Persona 3 |

yeah, but how many people are going to go Mario > Pac-Man > Luigi? not that many. Ehh, I've never really bought that way of thinking. Mario is much more popular for a reason, and there were apparently plenty of people who go Yoshi > Pac-Man > Luigi. --- "As long as I'm with you...as long as you're by my side...I won't give up, even if I'm scared." - Tifa Lockheart |

With regard to HK-47, it might be worth noting that he's had KotOR 2 since we last saw him. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Well, there are some. Not as many, but...some. Taking Pac-Man's results straight up against both, Yoshi beats Luigi with 57.90%. Taking Vyse's results straight up against both, Cloud beats Tifa with 57.61%.

Just thought I'd mention it. I wouldn't expect it to do much for him,
since his role's exactly the same as the first game and it didn't sell
nearly as well. Jak 3 didn't sell nearly as well as the others either. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Jak 3 was still a million seller though, wasn't it? HM, you got any numbers on the Jak series? --- "As long as I'm with you...as long as you're by my side...I won't give up, even if I'm scared." - Tifa Lockheart |

I'm taking Jak over HK-47 and Lloyd. Jak did better against Ness than
CJ (ignoring the potential Nintendo Boost in 2k5) and he's had two
games since 2k4. He's also the name-sake of his series and it's not
like Zero is a Noble Niner -- it's not going to rely on the most
hardcore fans duking it out against one-another. I figure Lloyd's taking last place in that one, though HK-47 could steal second if Jak's not careful. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

Issac doesn't have a chance in hell against Pikachu, and I'm probably
underrating the rat more than anyone. Pikachu's 2k2 value is from an
underrated Cloud, and I certainly think Pokemon hate has died down from
the furor that it had in 2k2. --- "TIME TO _____ THEN." - Karma Hunter, ABSENT 8 Commit it to memory. |
