I just see the average Nintendo fan choosing Peach over Fox as well why is that? I just can't see Peach having hardcore fans. --- Network Premiere of: "GA All The Way." Watch one black kid's desperate search for his Wii. |

Usually if Kirby, the weaker character avoids SFF then Kirby would have trouble SFF someone weaker than him. That makes no sense. If you avoid SFF, then you would have trouble SFFing somebody else? So if Sephiroth avoids SFF against Cloud, then that means that he would have trouble SFFing Aeris then? --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

From yoshifan823 Samus over Midna over Scorpion? Easy? No. Midna is gonna get raped by Samus, cause Samus is gonna steal both casuals and Ninty fans. Scorp has the X-Box/PS2 crowd. Scorp finishes second in the first round, but beats Midna in the second. Samus doesn't win SFF. Ever. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

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 think it's not so much to do with the "content" of the poll as much as it is thinking that Peach is going to suck it up in any multi poll like this. It requires people to actually have Peach as a favorite over a number of other much more likable, substantial, characters. I think Peach is gonna end up falling apart in that poll, personally. --- Believe |

1.) Yoshi/Knuckles, who'll be below Mega Man? I currently have Knuckles, but I've already switched a few times. 2.) Midna/Scorpion, who'll be below Samus? Frog. Scorpion is tempting, though. 3.) Fox/Falcon, who'll be below Wario? Falcon. I think Fox might be a bit stronger than people are willing to admit. 4.) Can Bomberman get second under Magus? That's what I have, but Phoenix does have a hardcore (but small) fanbase. I just don't trust anything that can't beat Gordon Freeman. 5.) For the love of God, will Bidoof actually get second under Link? Yep. 6.) Can Simon beat Raiden? Even without considering MGS4, Raiden could probably beat out Simon. 7.) HK-47/Lloyd, WHO WILL WIN!? Cult Xbox RPG vs. cult Gamecube RPG... when in doubt, go with Nintendo. 8.) Can Master Chief use the Halo 3 boost to actually beat Yuna to Ganondorf? After seeing what he did to Crono... yes, most definitely. 9.) Will Ada get second past Frank West? Who's Frank West, again? Yeah, she can. 10.) L-Block v. Laharl...Epic. Something even more epic: Laharl has been in more contests than Tifa. XD 11.) Kirby beating out DK = Lock? Of course. 12.) Will Duke Nukem actually make it below Sonic...? If by below Sonic, you mean below Ike and Gordon Freeman, then yes. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

I think Ocelot would naturally do better than Jill in a multi-option
setting, but the fact that Cloud is there disturbs me... I do have Jill
for now... at least I could also lean on Jill possibly being a bit
stronger than she used to be. When Sora/Aeris/Squall/(Lara?) rolls around... Squall > Sora > Aeris will be ideal, right? But, when I think about it... it might not be so simple. It will be interestisng to see. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

1.) Yoshi/Knuckles, who'll be below Mega Man? Yoshi. This is classic Nintendo vs. SEGA. Also, Knuckles has got 40% consistently on Snake, BEFORE Snake had his massive popularity surge. Yoshi got 43% on Snake AFTER this surge. 2.) Midna/Scorpion, who'll be below Samus? I think I've been overrating Midna this entire contest, but I'm afraid of overrating Scorpion too. I ended up choposing Scorpion because I think Samus is going to steal a nice portion of Midna's votes (or she may just NOT be that popular....). I do have Midna > Scorp in the first round though. But I may change that. Or maybe it's just TP hype. 3.) Fox/Falcon, who'll be below Wario? I decided to do a weird thing here. I have Fox > Wario in round 1. But I have Seph > Wario in round 2. With 3 Nintendo characters in the first round, SFFing each other, I think it's close to very hard to predict. I'm really not sure who to pick higher in Fox vs Wario. It has the aura of 2 new characters. Tough to judge. When you add Meta Knight or Peach, with Seph... well... I don't know WHAT it means, but I just... yeah I really have no idea. 4.) Can Bomberman get second under Magus? This is the safe pick. People have been talking about how he might do well if he ever came back... his numbers actually aren't too bad. 35 on Squall is decent enough for someone like Bomberman. Now, Phoenix... Well... maybe his new game CAN help... and maybe with more releases of the first game, he'll get more popularity... but he will always be the guy who LOST to Gordon Freeman. At the moment though, I have my faith in Phoenix. 5.) For the love of God, will Bidoof actually get second under Link? No. Haven't we learned our lesson with Pikachu? GameFAQs main page does not like voting for Pokemon, the characters. I can't believe I'm actually using this example, but Nidoran. She's much more recognizable than Bidoof is. Bidoof is nothing more than a joke, and no one even cares that much about Bidoof outside Board 8. Nidoran would have a much better chance, and even she wouldn't place here. The only people who really like Bidoof are Board 8ers. 95% of his votes will be B8. And look at Edgey. GameFAQers who like PW and D/P I THINK would vote for Edgey... at least, that's my guess. While Bidoof may be more well known than Edgey outside GameFAQs, he's a ****ing poop. He'd be less popular than Pikachu. The only thing to take interesting note of here is that J, Bidoof, and Miles are going to have about 3% of the votes to work with. When there are THAT few votes to take account of, weirder things can happen . The fact that they're all facing Link means the same also... that a lot of weird things can happen... but without that, Miles should be the strongest anyway... 6.) Can Simon beat Raiden? I considered this. My friend talked me out of it. Not being in contests has hurt his overall site popularity. But we have no REAL judge of Raiden, while no GOOD judge of Simon (screw 2k2). So these to me are 2 new characters. Raiden has the MGS advantage though, which I think boosts him to victory here. Crono shouldn't make a huge difference here, but it's interesting to note that Crono was the one Simon lost to in 2k2 (23.22%). 7.) HK-47/Lloyd, WHO WILL WIN!? Lloyd, I think. He may be from ToS, whose popularity has dropped off (was it ever up that high?), but he is the HERO of ToS, and the most recognizable face. HK-47, well he bombed vs. Sora, but Lloyd bombed vs. Zero. Both did pretty badly in their last apperances, but I think Lloyd will take this on hero factor. --- Wigs...

8.) Can Master Chief use the Halo 3 boost to actually beat Yuna to Ganondorf? This is a FUN division. Yuna is strong. A lot stronger than I think we've made her out to be. 60% on Chunny and 43% on Zelda. I think Alucard is going to surprise though. Master Chief will be stronger, but so will Yuna, undoubtedly. I also think Alucard is a lot stronger than Sub-Zero. So I'm going to stick with Yuna and Alucard making it to thee final 4 of that division, though I'm not sure about the order. Either way, Ganondorf and Luigi advance, after Luigi's stellar performance last year. 9.) Will Ada get second past Frank West? Frank West will get last. 10.) L-Block v. Laharl...Epic. Roll some dice. Good luck. I have Laharl for now, because I'm keep saying "Gah he has to win he's REAL. People vote for REAL people...." But then one thought keeps entering my mind......... "IT'S A ****ING HAND". If Master Hand can beat Kuja, why can't L-Block beat Laharl? And now I'm stuck. 11.) Kirby beating out DK = Lock? Yes. I'm certain. Would you take DK over Tidus? Even if you answered Yes to that, cmon... Kirby's a beast. 12.) Will Duke Nukem actually make it below Sonic...? Subby will be weaker than last year........ but not THAT much weaker.... It's funny though, because if Duke did make it there, he'd probably go one more round and beat Ike and Gordon. --- Wigs...

Really? Sora's gotten a new game? You mean the same game that Aeris got
too? Plus Aeris got AC. But it doesn't matter. Aeris might not be able
to double Sora nowadays but she could at least 60-40 him. --- Fc: 4768 3939 5325 |

1.) Yoshi/Knuckles, who'll be below Mega Man? Knux... though I'm still torn. 2.) Midna/Scorpion, who'll be below Samus? Scorpion, know it's not gonna be the favorite choice, but suck it. 3.) Fox/Falcon, who'll be below Wario? ***Wario/Falcon, who'll be below Fox? Wario. 4.) Can Bomberman get second under Magus? Yes! 5.) For the love of God, will Bidoof actually get second under Link? Unfortunately.... 6.) Can Simon beat Raiden? AWW HELL NAW 7.) HK-47/Lloyd, WHO WILL WIN!? God will come down from the heavens, light up a massive blunt, and we'll all get high and forget the day of this match. 8.) Can Master Chief use the Halo 3 boost to actually beat Yuna to Ganondorf? Oh he can, and he will ! ! 9.) Will Ada get second past Frank West? Eh... doubt it, but it's certainly possible. 10.) L-Block v. Laharl...Epic. L-Block is totally kicking Laharl's ass. 11.) Kirby beating out DK = Lock? Lock = Lock? 12.) Will Duke Nukem actually make it below Sonic...? lol no --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

be like "OMFG RAIDEN" Now that's not gonna really do all that MUCH, but still. Hopefully he'll manage to avoid drowning. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I've got balls of steel.

People picking Sora over Aeris are hilarious for many reasons. I doubt
Sora gets much of anything after Squall and Aeris syphon everything
from his face. How about Axel/Frog? CT is declining, and Frog only barely defeated pre-KH2 Riku in '05. Frog's still a very recognizable character from CT, which has a pretty loyal fanbase. and Axel isn't really that memorable, in my opinion... --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I've got balls of steel.

Frog got 30% on Samus, and Axel didn't manage that on a weakened Mega
Man. Frog should pull it out. Frog/Scorpion is still giving me
headaches though, and if Midna turns out to be a beast instead of a
bust, that further complicates things. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

From Gyratin****andma How about Axel/Frog? CT is declining, and Frog only barely defeated pre-KH2 Riku in '05. Here's a shocker. Riku >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Axel. Axel is fairly close to pre-KH2 Riku in lol x-stats, though. Riku was much more powerful in 06 than in 05. Not saying I'd stake my life on Frog having fallen that far, but it's an intriguing possibility. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

Even if you just go straight by the x-stats, Riku's still comes out
ahead, the further you go into it, the more and more impressive Riku
ends up looking. And as we all know, Frog beat Riku then, there's
really no reason to think Axel would be on that level, unless Frog
dropped a significant amount. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

By the way, Frog is underrated in 2K5 thanks to Samus/Mario, which
raises him and Riku up even further, just thought I'd throw that in
there. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

Frog beat Riku before KH2, though. then got 30% on Samus which puts him
around DK's area. add in the decline and a four way poll and it doesn't
make me too confident. --- Network Premiere of: "GA All The Way." Watch one black kid's desperate search for his Wii. |

30% on Samus > 30% on Megaman I guess it just comes down to whether you think Frog dropped enough. I don't think it's going to be that significant. Especially since he won't be needing to get too many votes. He's only after 2nd place in a poll of 4 people after all. That's probably easier for a niche character like Frog than it is for him in a one-on-one poll --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Here's an interesting question: We all know that MC overperforms on just about everyone stronger than him...but what about characters like Link and Mario?
