*Kratos is probably facing tougher competition than Zelos will...I hope.

The strongest character in Zelos' poll is Kefka. Of course Kratos' competition is stronger.

This is late, but wow 2200 votes comeback by Axel in 8 hours, but countered by Frog's 400 votes comeback in an hour... Looks like Frog never fails to cause uproar in the board but he also never fails us (pun intended). Hope he put another great showing against Scorpion in the next round and win it again!

Anyway, it seems clear that FACE box art pic = more strength. These three consecutive matches should be a good enough evidence for that claim.

And yeah, Scorpion > Midna!!

Zelos is only SLIGHTLY less popular than Kratos. Plus no Nintendo SFF, regardless of how small it is in this match.

If Zelos doesn't secure AT LEAST 25% of the vote, I will be surprised.

As expected Midna fails horribly. Just looked at yesterday and the multiple topics about "is that Midna?" or "Midna's pic is not good" (and you guys said this is one of the better Midna pics and I think I agree with that. She is just ugly to begin with, sorry to say that...). Everyone hope to see a cute little girl or furry as Midna because she is from Zelda game, and no, most wouldn't give a damn about searching for Midna pics in google. And now in the poll, there are no Zelda word written around her and casuals won't recognise her. Like I said her only hope is Nintendo fans (which are still a lot), because casuals, or even kiddies, won't vote for her.

Damn, I should not listen to the board hype and put my oracle for Midna a lot lower...

Scorpion just might be stronger than he's ever been, or at least on par with his '02/'03 suggested strength. He's totally thrashing Kratos, when one might've expected Kratos to hold his own better in this sort of poll, if anything. Agent 47 isn't doing too shabby for being a, uh, nobody. Midna...wow, that's disappointing. I mean, Ness nearly tied with Scorpion against a common opponent, yet Midna can't even come close!

I wouldn't count out SBAllen looking into yesterday's either... he hasn't said anything, so he just might not have been working. I think you can all agree Frog cheated more? I wasn't around when this big mess happened...

I thought Kratos Aurion used to loss to Diablo by over 10%. Or did I underestimate Diablo all this time? >_>


I think you can all agree Frog cheated more?

Yes, but I heard it is more about rallies in chrono forums, not vote stuffing. So is rallying = vote stuffing? I thought only vote stuffing (changing IP/using many alts to vote again) counts as cheating.

Based on opponents, you can deduce that Scorpion is stronger than Diablo. Kefka > Pac with 51%, so Diablo > Pac with 55%. Scorpion beat Pac with 58%. (hey, they were different years, but I think we do see now that Scorp is indeed stronger than Diablo! =P)

So you are saying Pac-Man = Kratos Aurion? Diablo is just overrated IMO.

So what do you say about Midna vs Diablo? Midna > Diablo for me... oh wait Midna is way more overrated. I will take Diablo > Midna then... >_>

I wouldn't be sure about Scorpion > Diablo 1v1, to be honest. These types of polls are just way too different to draw that conclusion.

Haste_2 | Posted 9/6/2007 2:34:04 AM | message detail
Yeah, Agent 47 is doing quite well. He did have a new game come out recently, so he's still a hit with the mainstream today, I think. If someone like Agent 47 can do this well, Marcus Fenix should outdo that by a good margin...maybe. I'd wager Agent 47 >>> Hitman, while Gears of War >>> Marcus. Granted, Gears of War >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hitman. >_>

Also, maybe Sora doesn't get anti-voted (in a non-linear sense) more than other characters, after all. We'll see, though. It certainly would make HK-47 look better in his upcoming match.

OK, this is seriously annoying, I'm probably the biggest Scorpion fan on the board, and he's going to cost me four points. Because there's no way in hell Midna's getting through to round 3.

Scorpion or Frog, who've you got, a) in this format, b) heads-up?

Haste_2 | Posted 9/6/2007 2:55:35 AM | message detail
I take Scorpion without question head-to-head, but in this format... I'm not so sure. I'd probably take Scorpion again, as I think he'd do better than Axel. I mean, I can't really see Axel getting 36% if he took the place of Scorpion here.

I don't think we really know how strong Scorpion really is this year because Midna is untested. I would pick Frog > Scorpion in this format but Scorpion > Frog head to head.

Speaking of MC, chances are he faces Alucard in Round 2. There could be some huge vote swings there.

Frog scored 30% on 2005 Samus while Axel only scored 30% on a much weaker Megaman.(2005 Samus will most likely score 56%-58% on the 2006 Megaman.)

Looking back at these, there is no reason for Frog to bomb so badly(almost lost to Axel) in yesterday match other than the reason Frog drops by a good margin this year. I will definitely take Scorpion over the weaker Frog in a 1 vs 1 match. As for this format, i will still take Scorpion but Frog can pull off a winning here just as easily.
Kratos_42 | Posted 9/6/2007 3:29:38 AM | message detail
>_> How many points do you get if you have Midna > Scorpion? 2, or 1?

In other news, GO FROG GO! Also, what're the chances of Midna having a monstrous day vote?

Okay first of all I just wake up and, Frog WON?!?

Second of all, Midna, what the heck, you're from Zelda? I know I had no way of knowing your power, but come on! It's not even like Midna isn't a likable character either. How can Link pretty much win the whole contest but half his fans aren't even willing to help out Midna?

Just wait til the kiddies get out of school, they probably don't even know who scorpion is.

I still wonder how Midna can be so weak, she's about the only Zelda character who has a character, and it's not that TP wasn't a fantastic game. But I guess she's to know and who the hell doesn't know who Scorpion is?

Oh shot I lost another point in this match. But the more of these polls I see, the more confident I get in Zelos, CATS, Pit, Thrall, Little Mac, Lloyd and Duke Nukem to advance, so hopefully I still will be in the game.

I never played TP before and everyone here told me that Midna is a very likeable character in TP. Therefore i went to google for her pics, I found this- http://graehl.com/Pictures/Blog%20Pictures/Midna.jpg
All right, she has a pretty looks and a likeable personality, she is gonna win and so i went with Midna > Scorpion.

Now you show me this picture of Midna - http://www.gamefaqs.com/images/cb6/cb6-04.jpg
