Ocelot/Jill is tough. Obviously Ocelot wins in a direct matchup but as
we saw from Seph/Liquid, Cloud might take away Ocelots support. I still
went with Ocelot though --- Fc: 4768 3939 5325 |

1) Anybody think Shadow could sneak past Auron and Fenix to advance alongside Cloud? 2) Can Phoenix Wright actually win a match? 3) Will Tingle overcome Pit and Mudkip... 4) ...and how badly would Ganon embarrass him in the next round? --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

Also, while we're talking about the A/N/L/Z four-pack...not only is
Ness the sole Nintendo character, but it should also be kept in mind
that the other three's main games are on the PS1 as well as them each
only really being known for one game compared to Ness's two or three. Alucard and Liquid do have a port/remake on different systems that should probably carry them over Zidane if nothing else, but picking between Alucard and Liquid is a crapshoot from there. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

1) Did Bowser spontaneously combust? I'd say Ryu has a better shot than Shadow, and there's not much there for him either. 2) Absolutely! 3) I can't bring myself to pick Tingle (I went with Pit), but... 4) ...Ganondorf/Luigi/Tingle/?(Vergil) would end very badly for Tingle. It's hard to guess percentages, but I'd be thoroughly surprised if he managed 10%. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

2) Can Phoenix Wright actually win a match? Throw Phoenix Wright in Edgeworth's spot and I would have taken him to escape out of there (I have Edgeworth losing, at least Phoenix Wright has his game's name recognition). But Phoenix is in a tough spot... Bomberman has gotten pretty visible among the Xbox fanbase, and Magus won't dominate enough votes for the PW hardcore fanbase to help him as much... --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

I have DK > Kratos in round one. I see Kratos getting a boost, but
people are underestimating Donkey Kong. Though in round 2 I have Kratos
winning that match because DK and Kirby SFF each other (look at the low
votals in Kirby's matches with Bowser and Luigi). --- The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. ~Joe Stalin, comment to Churchill at Potsdam, 1945 |

DK has Marth to split votes with. I'd take Kratos over DK straight up,
and with one of the most used SSBM characters there to siphon some
votes from DK, he's definitely getting second. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

I have DK > Kratos without much of a second thought... I don't think
Kratos could come as close as DK did to Master Chief... at least not in
that year... even now, where Chief could be weaker from..... well
whatever it is or stronger from Halo 3 support.... I still can't see
Kratos scoring more than 45% on Chiefy. HOWEVER When we have Kirby/DK/Kratos/*Whoever the 4th is*, there's no way DK gets in there. That will be Kirby, followed by Kratos. I think Kirby is going to SFF DK pretty hard... simply because I think that people just like Kirby a lot more than DK when comparing Nintendo characters, whereas something like Luigi and Yoshi have always been sort of close. So, DK > Kratos > Marth But, Kirby > Kratos > DK. --- Wigs... The Other OTHER White Meat: ~Helping Bald People Since 1987~ Happily Married to Alanna82 on Valentines Day 05 |

I'm pretty sure Kratos would get far more than 45% on Master Chief if he got 43% on Ryu. --- Network Premiere of: "GA All The Way." Watch one black kid's desperate search for his Wii. |

I don't see Kirby SFF DK too badly. While Kirby does share a fanbase
with other Nintendo characters, which explains the low votals in
Kirby/Bowser and Kirby/Luigi, the fanbase split was really even. If
that four pack had a stronger character like Alucard I could see him
upsetting both Kirby and DK. --- The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. ~Joe Stalin, comment to Churchill at Potsdam, 1945 |

Ryu might have overperformed on Kratos. I could say the same for DK,
but DK seems to have some kind of weird thing with close matches. I can't also see any reason for Ryu to get any stronger or even stay that consistent... He may have got 42% on Mega Man, but this is a clearly weakening Mega Man.... At this point, I would pick Chief over Ryu with about 52 or 53%.... --- Wigs...

Kefka Marcus Fenix Tom Nook Zelos Wilder Why would that have you stumped? Zelos is from a now old RPG and will be fodder, and even if Nook was announced in Brawl tomorrow, he'd be as strong as, what, Captain Falcon? And I'd take Kefka and Fenix to beat him easily. The only tricky bit is deciding which of Kefka and Fenix to put as #1. --- Jon Thomson - 0/0, next picks: Yoshi beats Knuckles Bracket analysis: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=37520975 |

The question is.... Who takes second from that 8 pack? Kefka, Fenix, and the winner of Jill/Ocelot are all valid choices. I would safely say not Kefka, as Cloud being in first would completely demolish any chance he has.... and I really can't see someone like Fenix doing it....

Alright, here's some matches to debate: 1.) Yoshi/Knuckles, who'll be below Mega Man? 2.) Midna/Scorpion, who'll be below Samus? 3.) Fox/Falcon, who'll be below Wario? 4.) Can Bomberman get second under Magus? 5.) For the love of God, will Bidoof actually get second under Link? 6.) Can Simon beat Raiden? 7.) HK-47/Lloyd, WHO WILL WIN!? 8.) Can Master Chief use the Halo 3 boost to actually beat Yuna to Ganondorf? 9.) Will Ada get second past Frank West? 10.) L-Block v. Laharl...Epic. 11.) Kirby beating out DK = Lock? 12.)

Subby is getting newfound support for never having shown his face in the contests until last year. There's no doubt that Subby did REALLY well last year because he was new to the contest and people wanted to see him do well. Like Ryu has, Subby will slip a bit this year.

if anything, he has the best chance seeing he's the only xbox character in the whole group. Well, this is just personal opinion, but I think Fenix is going to bomb. Not so hard as to lose to Nook/Zelos. But hard enough such that he won't get that much higher than Kefka will with his SFF vs Cloud. Just a hunch, though. --- Wigs...

Kefka Marcus Fenix Tom Nook Zelos Wilder Kefka and Fenix take this though the order is questionable. Big Boss Mario Pac-Man Wander Mario takes first and you must decided whether Mario will SFF Pac-Man enough to let Big Boss take the win. Bomberman Crash Bandicoot Phoenix Wright Magus Magus takes first, Bomberman seems to be the safe choice, but the other two could take it. Luigi Mudkip Pit Tingle Luigi takes first, second is really tough Tingle may be the safe choice, but could SSBB hype or an internet fad plus Pokemon be enough for the other two to steal the win? Master Chief PaRappa Tommy Vercetti Yuna Master Chief and Yuna, TV could be a nice upset choice though. Amaterasu Dante Little Mac Matt (Wii Sports) Dante takes first and I hav no idea on who'll take second. Ada Wong Balthier Bunansa Frank West Jade Curtiss Balthier for first and Ada seems to be the favorite for second, but Frank could upset. Duke Nukem Ike Gordon Freeman Guybrush Threepwood Freeman wins here and Duke comes in second unless you believe SSBB hype would bring Ike in second. --- The death of one man is a tragedy.

1.) Yoshi/Knuckles, who'll be below Mega Man? Knuckles. We all saw what MM did to Yoshi, I can't really split the two but I think that may be the difference 2.) Midna/Scorpion, who'll be below Samus? I have Midna 3.) Fox/Falcon, who'll be below Wario? Fox 4.) Can Bomberman get second under Magus? I have PW taking it, but Bomberman's a reasonable pick 5.) For the love of God, will Bidoof actually get second under Link? I actually do have Bidoof in R2, yes 6.) Can Simon beat Raiden? That's a nasty choice. I took Raiden 7.) HK-47/Lloyd, WHO WILL WIN!? I have Lloyd but I don't like it 8.) Can Master Chief use the Halo 3 boost to actually beat Yuna to Ganondorf? See sig, not going into that one again 9.) Will Ada get second past Frank West? No 10.) L-Block v. Laharl...Epic. Why couldn't they swap Laharl and CATS? 11.) Kirby beating out DK = Lock? Lock. 12.) Will Duke Nukem actually make it below Sonic...? Yeah, of course.

Something else I've been wondering, everyone seems to be dismissing
Peach in the second round because she does terribly in polls involving
other Mario characters, but has she ever been in a poll with non-Mario
Nintendo characters? I know Wario is from Mario, but I can't imagine Nintendo fans choosing Wario over Peach, which leaves Fox. I just see the average Nintendo fan choosing Peach over Fox as well, regardless of how she bombs when put up against other established Mario characters. She's not dealing with any of them here. --- "You know, if you miss Jack Bauer, he'll come to your house and kill you." Shepard Smith, Fox News. Wii: 0778 4055 2505 7366 |

I honestly can't believe people are still arguing about Kratos Aurion.
Everyone agrees Zelos has no chance in hell, and Scorpion is from
friggin' Mortal Kombat. If anything, people should be arguing about who
gets first, Midna or Scorp. Also, Kratos>DK so fast it's not even
funny. GoW2, and the fact that DK bombs anywhere, it's so simple. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes... |

Kirby avoided SFF in the presence of stronger characters in those
instances. He wasn't supposed to gain SFF in those instances, and from
how you look at it, he might have still gained SFF from a stronger
character in Bowser. At any rate, nothing from those two matches
indicates that he wouldn't be able to SFF Donkey Kong. Usually if Kirby, the weaker character avoids SFF then Kirby would have trouble SFF someone weaker than him. It seems like they have the same fanbase, but inside that fanbase there are about an equal amount of people that perfer Luigi to Kirby and Kirby to Luigi. --- The death of one man is a tragedy.
