I'm not afraid of Pac-Man. not only will he suffer from Mario, but I don't think he has that many hardcore fans besides the ones that already voted Mario.

Today: Bowser > Ryu - Vote: Mewtwo
Tomorrow: Sephiroth > CATS - Vote: Meta-Knight - Points: 24/28.

Hey, if this format allows a jobber like Ocelot to beat Jill Valentine, surely Big Boss can beat the weakest Pac-Man we will ever see.

This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2.

Fox > Wario... I'd be kind of surprised if it went any other way actually. Granted it's possible, but I actually feel really good about it. I too would have taken Fox > Mewtwo previous to the contest, but right now I'd definitely be taking Mewtwo > Fox.

Man, I kinda feel bad for Wander.

Not only does he have no chance to advance, but he got royally screwed on the picture.

Fox > Wario

Fox, by far and away, has the most going for him just with his SNES and 64 games, as well as the SSB appearances. Wario has versions of Wario Ware on every active Nintendo console. It's just hard to see where Banjo and Falcon can get the support needed to beat out the other two.

Uh, Ocelot's not that big of a jobber.

Big Boss is, though... and Pac is still going to advance.

Fox > Wario... I'd be kind of surprised if it went any other way actually. Granted it's possible, but I actually feel really good about it. I too would have taken Fox > Mewtwo previous to the contest, but right now I'd definitely be taking Mewtwo > Fox.


I'm hoping that the Mario support is out in full. Though it should be worth noting that next round I have Sephiroth > Fox.

And I'd have taken Mewtwo > Fox before and after today.... especially after today though. He really had impressed like no other, and I just want to CHOKE Bacon for putting him in that Nintendo mess.

The Wario Land series is one of the most underrated hidden gems that Nintendo ever put out. Especially Wario Land 3.

Ocelot never seems that bad in the X-stats, but he has some shameful performances under his belt that I just can't see Jill doing.

haet haet haet SFA Fox. Falcon looks the best there, and Wario got his "classix" shot.

augh Big Boss...well, with Old Ocelot can do well, BB can pull it off too.

Phoenix got his best pose. Bomberman and Crash look like casual-bait, and that's one fugly shot of Magus.

Oh, and it looks like Mewtwo dominated the after-school vote, while Bowser actually dropped. Again, gives me more faith in Ryu next round, though it's still pretty much a toss-up between him, Bowser and Auron.

Unless you people were hoping for a Naked Snake picture (which would result in Big Boss easily stomping Pac by a 10 point margin or more), that picture of Big Boss should have been expected. And Pac-Man doesn't exactly have bad pictures (c'mon, who's not gonna recognize him?). My opinion of Big Boss is unchanged, and I fear very little for him.

ExThaNemesis | Posted 9/10/2007 4:08:29 PM | message detail
Every thing Mewtwo has done has been awesome in this match, and everything he's done has made me want to SMACK Bacon even more. Augh, Mewtwo could've done some seriously awesome damage. The best thing is that he could be INSANELY strong and we wouldn't even know it because of SFF.

Mewtwo is definitely the biggest surprise of the contest so far. I expected a lot from him but this goes beyond even my expectations. He's probably going to get 25% in a poll with Bowser, Ryu, and Toad. Frikking unreal.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/10/2007 4:09:21 PM | message detail
If Mewtwo keeps rising and Bowser keeps dropping, we're looking at them being less than 4% apart. That would make Mewtwo look really good.

greatone10 | Posted 9/10/2007 4:11:17 PM | message detail
The best thing for Mewtwo would be for Bowser to take 1st next round, proving how much strength they actually sapped from each other.

Either way, we need to see him in an non-SFF situation next time.

SonicRaptor | Posted 9/10/2007 4:13:54 PM | message detail
I hate work sometimes because I'm always late when it comes to giving my two cents on matches and usually everyone has already said it.

Yeah, everyone knew Mewtwo was going to drag Bowser's percentage down...nobody believed it would happen to this degree. We need to see him in a non-SFF match because I'm now very, very curious as to how strong Mewtwo is because he shows no signs of Pokemon weakness we've seen in the past.

Mewtwo isn't surprising me, really. I had him at 22% - 25% isn't that much different, really. it's 3% I had going to Bowser, and nobody knew how the SFF would fall in this match. I still feel good about Auron > Bowser... well, as good as I did before this match. I would have liked Bowser to be a little closer, but this isn't exactly some character battle tragedy.

I still feel as good about Bowser > Auron (and I had Ryu > Bowser, so I have no need to fear). It's just not that hard to believe that Mewtwo and Toad are being just that big of leeches on Bowser. The fact that Mewtwo may actually have legit strength isn't helping Bowser either.

Same here. Mewtwo and Bowser are doing about what I predicted. It's Ryu that slightly overdid my estimations (even if it's at Toad's expense).

I have to put much faith in Ryu, darn it! I'm not at the point where I have completely given up on my bracket yet!

I see no way that Banjo or C. Falcon will compete in that match. It all comes down to Fox and Wario to see who is strongest; important because whoever is first here is most likely to advance to the 3rd round with Sephiroth.

I have Fox > Wario, but it could easily go the other way.

For the idea of Bowser losing votes to Mewtwo due to SFF, that's not really true, as strength indicates more of an independent fanbase. Though it could certainly burden Bowser if Mewtwo got up to his vote total. That would be harsh!

You know...in all honesty, when I made my bracket, I barely took SFF into consideration at all for some reason. I made it in too much a hurry and just focused on how tends to look stronger...


That's gonna come back to bite me in the ass...HARD.

strength really has little to do with SFF. it's all about how much overlap there is.

in a case like this, nobody knows, so it's impossible to make any definitive statements about this match. you have to wait until round two.
