Wasn't Meta Knight one of the most requested people to be in SSBB? Cause I know I heard that somewhere. And once Nintendo character number 256 gets into the game, then Nintendo character number 257 will be one of the most requested people, am I rite? --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

I'll be voting for Meta-Knight in his match, but you're crazy if you think he breaks the fodder line before Brawl. He's a badass Kirby with wings. He's probably around Ness right now and after Brawl he'll be higher. --- Demyx is better than Axel. Pokemon Diamond Name: Haruhi FC: 0859 9890 8167 |

It boggles my mind how people can think Ike, Metaknight and Pit will do anything this year. Neither of Ike's games have been released in America yet, Pit hasn't had a game since the 80's, and Metaknight is a Kirby sidecharacter in the same fourpack as Nintendo's (second) leading lady. You could make arguments for them after Brawl comes out, but until then all 3 are fodder. I think what we're seeing here is people overcompensating for getting burned by Snake last year. We see something like this EVERY YEAR with recent examples including the Vincent > Sonic 2k6 bandwagon, the Kerrigan > Vincent 2k5 bandwagon and the Bowser > Snake 2k5 bandwagon. Other examples in the contest include: Scorpion overrating, Master Chief underrating, Zero underrating (seriously, Raiden?) and the Frog underrating.

He's a badass Kirby with wings. He's probably around Ness right now and after Brawl he'll be higher. Most of Kirby's popularity comes from his cute design. Meta Knight doesn't have that advantage. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Meta-Knight beating Ness I don't see happening. Ness beating Peach,
yeah I can actually picture that. Call me crazy, but I just don't think
Peach is that much of a powerhouse just because she can beat Jill by a
measely amount of votes. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

I actually struggled with Axel vs Frog for a bit, because CT is
declining and Kingdom Hearts is one of the hottest series on the site
right now. But Frog scored 30% on a gimp Samus. Axel scored 30% on a
gimp Mega Man. Tough for me to pick that sniveling little booger over
my beloved Axel, but I did end up going with it. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

MNM is totally missing my point. Meta Knight was actually
popular(unlike Ike and Pit) and had a decent following before he was
announced in SSBB, that simply helped him actually get in a contest. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Well, it's more like Nintendo character 40, which isn't nearly as much
of a stretch...But regardless, the most popular Nintendo franchise
characters have already been included as of Melee. I don't expect
anyone (...except for Snake and possibly whoever else they include from
the third party) to really break through the established Nintendo
hierarchy. Sure, you might get Meta-Knight or Ike up to the point where
they can contend with Ness, but they won't ever be beating Peach. --- Nominate Serge. |

Right now I could see Meta Knight losing to Captain Falcon. After Brawl he'll be at or above Ness, but right now he's too unknown and stuck in a match with Peach stealing all of his support.

What does Meta Knight have that would put him over Geno? He's in the majority of Kirby games since Kirby Superstar. He's basically a badass version of Kirby. And if you think Peach can SFF like Squall...well, just WTF at that thought. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Axel > Frog? Wtf? 30% on Samus > 30% on Mega Man And you said it yourself that this format favours cult games like CT (though I would argue that point). Not only that, but Frog beat pre-KH2 Riku, which is safely above Axel's ceiling. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

But you have to remember, this is NOT a battle of who wins
head-to-head. I honestly expect to see several instances (not involving
noticeable SFF) where a weaker character finishes above one stronger
than him/her. --- Nominate Serge. |

Mega Man vs. Diablo/KOS-MOS/Arthas -I'd put Diablo a peg higher than KOS, but I'm pretty sure you'll see Arthas take votes from him. I'd rather see the Blizz SFF in a second round match. Mario vs. Big Boss/Pac-Man/Wander -I tried to think this one out before I stepped back and checked my gut. At first, I though "MGS vs fodder". Then I realized Boss and Pac are weak, and though Wander would be a nice upset pick. And then I stepped back and "oh, it's Mario vs Pac Man vs some chumps most people honestly won't recognize". Magus vs. Bomberman/Crash/Phoenix Wright -PWNW Link vs. Agent J/Bidoof/Edgeworth -It's Pokemon. Or "Jokemon", but nevertheless... Zero vs. HK-47/Jak/Lloyd Irving -I'll probably switch this one 10 times. Luigi vs. Mudkip/Pit/Tingle -Not sure what to make of Pit. Here we have 2 joke characters from popular series, but I'll go with the Jokemon if it's close. Ganondorf vs. Ratchet/Thrall/Vergil -If Thrall is more Diablo than he is Kerrigan, then it's close. But I'm guessing he's more Kerrigan. Dante vs. Amaterasu/Little Mac/Matt -I could see him doing surprisingly well compared to the other fodder here. Kirby vs. L-Block/Laharl/Nathan Hale -Heh, Laharl gets to sweat it out against L Block. Solid Snake vs. Nightmare/Vyse/Rayman -Gut says Vyse but I'm going to overthink this one for now. --- cherish the certainty of now it kills you a bit at a time |

If you think Meta-Knight will beat Peach, by all means go for it! Conforming is something that you definitely don't want to do in this contest. I'm just arguing to kill time at work!

ou are insane if you think Meta-Knight competes with Ness...ever. Even after Brawl. Why the hell wouldn't he ever be able to compete with Ness.

Honestly, CATS has a better shot than Meta-Knight at taking second

would never take him in a direct match with a more popular Nintendo
character. Hell, right now I'd hesitate to take him over Captain freaking Falcon, who is comfortably lower than Ness.
