Tingle's got my vote. And I've got him advancing. --- OH JEEZE! |

I really have no idea who's going to advance. I see good reason for ANY
of them to get second place really... and also good reason that they
wouldn't get second place. I think it's easily the toughest of the
Round 1 fodder threesomes. --- SC2K7 Betting Contest: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=37858904 Please participate and stuff. :x |

Eh, I think the toughest of the Round 1 fodder threesomes is HK-47/Lloyd/Jak. No one cares about them. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

I see good reason for none of them to advance. So, now that we've seen so many years' worth of brackets ranging from 2k2 to now, what matches STILL don't make sense to you? I still don't understand GTA/Warcraft above any other match, though there are some others that fit the bill as well (MC/Felix, Jill/Kirby, etc.). --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

I don't really consider Lloyd in the running. I'll take 34% on Sora-2k4
over 27% on Zero-2k5, and HK-47 had a second game since then. It ought
to be a battle between HK and Jak, sure, but I don't think Lloyd should
be considered with them. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I don't know why people bring up the match against Sora to justify HK's
strength. Sora's notorious for racking up the anti-votes against fodder
(see: his matches against Agent 47, Tingle, and Gordon Freeman). --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

I'd still put him over Lloyd just for being in a much more popular game and actually having fans. --- Network Premiere of: "GA All The Way." Watch one black kid's desperate search for his Wii. |

The trouble with that match is that none of those characters have any
staying power whatsoever. They were from games that were loved during
their heyday and promptly forgotten about. It's tough to decide which
the GameFAQs voters have less apathy about. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

I dunno, 40% on Vice City seems like something ToS would never do in
its lifetime. and though HK-47 got 35% on Sora, even if you account for
inflation, he's still probably higher than Lloyd. --- Network Premiere of: "GA All The Way." Watch one black kid's desperate search for his Wii. |

I think the toughest fodder threesome is L-Block, Laharl, and Nathan Hale. Laharl has a hardcore fanbase, but it is very tiny. The L-Block is a joke character that really lucked out, as it is the only one that comes from a game that we know was played by more than three people. Nathan Hale is supposed to be Tanner Lite, but so was Agent 47, and he would win this threesome with ease. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner.

So, I didn't expect the contest to be starting tomorrow. Figured it was a Tuesday start. I'd planned on sending my analyses for the AC tomorrow. Well, I still do... but it's gonna be cutting it closer than I thought it would've. I'd send them now but they're on a different computer.

I'll try to do it Monday or Tuesday. If you have your own script,
feel free to email it to me, might make my edit easier :) Though I can
only really use it if it's in PHP. I harvest the data using a perl script and copy in manually over to a spreadsheet that does the rest. It doesn't sound like it would be too useful to you. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I was flip-flopping on HK-47/Jak. Zero is just going to dominate that
four-pack so hard that anybody can get second place. I guess the whole
"Sora can't blow anybody out" notion leaves me on Jak's side, but I'm
still iffy... --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Tingle has the inside track for second place in that match, but I
picked Mudkip on pure principle. I'd rather lose a point not picking
Tingle than gain a point picking him. **** him. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

You know, Pit isn't really that bad of a
choice to take second place in that group. Yeah, he's got nothing but
the SSBB trailer and general hype to back him up, but it's not like he
needs that much. I know we bring up Zero Suit Samus when
talking about the knowledge of the average gamer on this site, but
hell, we're not talking about a one-on-one match here. All Pit needs
are enough SSBB fanatics to vote for him. And given how we've had over
a year of general SSBB hype stemming from the trailer and beyond, I
don't think it's farfetched to believe that there are enough SSBB
diehards out there to get Pit to the next round. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

I still think we're going to, but its getting too close to battle time
for my liking now. If we dont have any by 8PM tonight I'll start
thinking we might not be having them, until then I still think we are. Anyway, the contest isn't based on Pacific time, it's Eastern, and it's 1:03 PM. --- mmm feel the vibration baby |

I really like the second match's pic. So, I know my bracket has some flaws like anybody else's, but as I finally got to typing mine up for the BOP/Guru, I saw a potentially big upset. This would assume Auron managed second in his division against Cloud and Shadow/Bowser/Ryu...but if that happened, then the next round would feature Cloud/Auron/Samus/Mega Man. Between Auron being in the poll and MP3 being hot, would Samus stand any chance at first for this round? --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.
