Man, Snake's battle royale run made me totally forget Samus had beat him (not that it was unexpected). It just seems like 2006 was Snake's year. But anyway, Glenn needs to put some barriers up tonight, I don't want to see a classic get swept away by KH day surge.

Should I start running now?
trannyscience | Posted 9/4/2007 8:45:48 PM | message detail
awesome, I posted this in the wrong topic.

to add to the Midna argument: I think Midna is the "main character" in the same sense that Yuna is the main character of FF10. the story just revolves around her, and she's kinda the way Nintendo compensates for Link being a mute. she's probably the only character in Zelda that has a legitimate personality. maybe I'm just being harsh.

anyway, prediction percentages:

Mega Man - 45.56% / 85.55%
KOS - 22.34% / 31.67%

yeah, I have no idea how to guess these.

I just think that the way a character looks is a part of their core strength

What's wrong with it? The way she looks actually kinda fits her personality.

Diablo's losing votes again. Ol' dragon boy is toast.

My nick's Adamant. I have a "no 1" that looks stupid. Would've changed it if I could without losing karma. So it's Adamant, not Adamanto or Adamantno.

if less than 2000 perfects are left after this match, i personally guarantee that someone from the board will win this contest. losing 33,000 perfects on the first two matches would prove that hardly anyone else paid attention to the rules of this bracket.

people are expecting strength out of Midna because she's Zelda. she's essentially the main character in the most popular game of the year by far.

Gears of War sold twice as much as Twilight Princess.

also, remember that Frog was pushing a doubling or something like that vs. Riku in the opening seconds and ended up winning with 51%.
