Eh, people on Board 8 didn't know who the hell 47 was (outside of all the cool kids :D), and he still did respectably in the end.

...not that it means I have anything resembling faith in Haseo...

All I want is for L-Block to be the strongest joke character this field. The reaction I had when I saw he made the bracket was the greatest. Swift told me before I saw it and I was like "dude your totally lying" and then I was like "OH **** THATS AWESOME"

Hey Agent 47 is a verifiable badass. Anyone who doesn't dig at least one of the Hitman games is pretty lame.

Is Haseo a verifiable badass with silverballer guns and fiber wire? DON'T THINK SO

Haseo and Nathan Hale were the only two characters in the bracket I didn't know about. One of them is getting lowest.

Zolom will probably get lowest, the joke is pretty much dead, and he's up against Cloud of all people.

Looking at pictures of Haseo, he seems like an anime pretty boy... with the large amount of bisexuals and gays here, I can see him doing better then Nathan hale

I'm pretty sure Haseo is the only one I never heard of before.

Yeah, but Hitman has a rather large casual support (seriously, people here didn't know 47?!), especially over the "kiddy disney lol" Sora, if they knew him in the first place. I always thought the neo-tanner cries when 47 was revealed were a bit off.

Haseo, on the other hand...I walk up to 10 guys at school, all 10 of them will know of the Hitman series. If I walked up to 150 guys at school, NONE of them would know of .hack.

MMXcalibur | Posted 9/4/2007 1:48:12 PM | message detail
I'm intrigued by Midna/Scorpion/Kratos Aurion/Agent 47. I've got Midna > Scorpion and feel fairly confident about the pick if only for the reason that Midna is Zelda property and that should be good enough to get over a decent showing by Scorpion. However, where's all this love for Kratos coming from? He placed decently in his lone contest showing, but the sheer voting numbers for a well-known Scorpion and a Zelda:TP fueled Midna should outweigh any hardcore fan base vote that Mr. Aurion might receive.

it isn't even anti-votes as much as "oh, you're gonna win. let's vote for someone else."

when Link starts his match, people are going to think he's weak or something because he's not going to get 80% immediately.

Zolom will probably get lowest, the joke is pretty much dead, and he's up against Cloud of all people.

Zolom has massive board favouring, and pleny of FF7 fans hate cloud, meaning they're likely to migrate to old Zolomy. I don't see him getting the lowest.

Out of interest, is there any talk of Zolom on, say, LUE?

I've noticed how consistent the gap between Arthas and Diablo is, by the way. It's been 500 or thereabouts for a while now.

And it's good to see that I'm not the only one here who's rooting for Mega Man to break 50% again over any sort of Diablo comeback vs Arthas or whatever.

Mega Man must win this handicap match!

Really? I mean, I don't think you'd know him by name, but I don't know how you could see him and not recognize him as the Hitman guy. Hitman ads were everywhere.

Lopen, you're on. 2 weeks, one line (I like keeping my sig).

If Link gets 84.99% or less, I win. 85% or more, you win.

L-Block, Mudkip, and Bidoof all have a distant chance of taking second. One of them will do it, watch.

Heck, even CATS has a chance to scare someone. Not a big chance at all, but he'll make it close enough to be exciting.

Kirby/L-Block has seemed like a foregone conclusion to me since day one.

My first instinct was Laharl, to be honest. But then I saw a couple of arguments for L-Block and it got me thinking a bit. It was like a "joke character won't win" reflex.

I think L-Block has more than a decent chance of getting 2nd. I'm quite against joke characters doing well, but I'm having a tough time seeing L-Block not advance. Nathan Hale stands absolutely no chance, though I may be underestimating Laharl. But damn, for a "joke" character, L-Block should get a hell of a lot of the casual vote, even with Kirby there.

As long as L-Block gets a good picture he's alright. Some of the more stupid people could be just like "What? A prison came to life and starred in a game?" unless his picture looks like he's from Tetris.

Doesn't need to be good, come to think of it, just recognisable as from Tetris.

Laharl is nothing. He is pretty much the epitome of an obscure cult character with his hardcore fanbase backing him and little else going for him. I think Nathan Hale has a better chance of winning, just because we don't know crap about him. Sure he could be the next Tanner, but we said that about Agent 47, and that was obviously not the case.
