You sure? I still wouldn't take Ocelot over Jill or Peach
one-on-one, and yet that just may happen right here. This match is as
good support as any. And for all Zelos stunk it up, we never had a read on him. It's possible he might have looked even MORE pathetic in a one-on-one setting (a higher percentage sure, but you get what I'm saying). If the "hardcore fanbase" theory was true, then Frog, Kefka etc. would have done MUCH better. I think this theory has been convincingly derailed so far. Seriously...Frog alone almost wipes it out by himself. He'd benefit more than almost anyone else. And Kefka's like #2. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I actually think this format helps "casual" characters more than
so-called "hardcore" ones. I'm feeling mighty good about Master Chief
lately for whatever reason, and am kinda wishing I had Kratos >

I don't see how this setting's results would vary so much in a 1 on 1
scenario. When the only other competition is Square, which are likely
to go 50/50 on Jill and Ocelot if they're taken out, then the remaining
trends right now would still apply. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Means nothing. Kirby is way different than his series and Meta Knight should follow. But Kirby himself was SFFed by Luigi. Or legitimately beaten, however you want to look at it.

How the hell is this format supposed to help "casual" characters? How
is it supposed to help anyone? So far I've read so many crackpot
theories about who this format is supposed to help that nearly every
character that isn't getting blatantly SFFed is supposed to benefit for
one reason or another. Master Chief will benefit from the new format because it is sunny outside. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

Yeah, she pulled in 16% versus Ocelot's 21% in the 1:00 update, and
that's when we usually start setting in to the night vote. That's a
major ouch. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I definitely think a hardcore fanbase is why Ocelot is winning at the
moment. Plus, the MGS fans are a whole different story than ToS ones. Kinda scary, since I actually predicted and hoped that a hardcore fanbase, along with the whole FF > MGS > RE chain, would put Ocelot over Jill.

Jill has REmake and all the other RE games that appeared on the Gamecube and Wii behind her. Ocelot has what, TTS? There's only one other RE game on the cube that features Jill, 3. The rest don't have her. TTS and MGS4 hype might as well be equivalent to that, since the RE3 on cube is a rare find. Besides, she's always had those games. --- If I had written the book, I would have made it so the spirit of man pops out of Winston and socks O'Brien in the face really hard... |

This might be a Shadow/Sonic type situation. I don't see Meta Knight
being fodder. And Peach would have trouble with anything that's not
fodder. I don't know if it's *as* comparable as Shadow/Sonic. Shadow was the co-lead of Sonic Adventure 2, whereas from what I understand Meta Knight is just a reoccurring boss. And I'll just have to agree to disagree as to the degree of how cool looking Meta Knight is, although that's just a personal issue. >_> --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

When I talk about characters who have a fairly sizeable "hardcore"
fanbase, I don't think of Zelos or Kefka. I don't think of characters
whose fanbases are "more rabid" than others. I'm thinking of characters
who have fairly distinct fanbases as compared to their opponents in a
match (e.g. Master Chief against PlayStation-centric and Nintendo
characters) in a poll, a fairly loyal fanbase, and a sizeable (say,
25+% on Link, maybe) fanbase. I think that the character that stands out the most in this way is Master Chief, and it's probably why a lot of people expect him to perform better relative to his strength than most characters in this sort of format. --- "I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived" - Sensei |
