going back to the SFF talk in the last topic.. there's pretty much no real conclusion you can draw here. the closest one that I can see is that Bowser is not a "fan-favourite", which makes me question his ability to make any real impact on that Samus/Mega Man match should he get that far. beyond that, you're really reaching to draw conclusions. you're basically coming up with ideas based on what your expectations pre-match were - that's what "SFF" is to a lot of people here in round 1. "Bowser's not doing so well.. SFF!" "Knuckles is looking bad... SFF with Yoshi!" there's just so many possible explanations, and it's best to not assert them and instead to just sit back and watch. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! now playing: Jeanne d'Arc |

Enough about today's match, I want to see some discussion on Magus' fourpack. I think Bomberman really has that one in the bag. He's easily the most casual character there that's actually had something relevant in the last 10 years. TuRtLe ~~~ 28/32 in the contest. Next pick: Sephiroth > Peach BlAcK TuRtLe.

I'm not buying into the Bomberman hype too much, myself. He'll do well there, but I think Phoenix has one that pretty safely. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

I have Bomberman pulling this one out. But I'd rather see Phoenix win since my bracket is toast anyway. --- *votes for Meta-Knight to help CATS win* ~Leonhart |
| trannyscience | Posted 9/10/2007 5:05:32 PM | message detail |

I think I'd rather have Bomberman given that I don't think Magus can
get a large percentage. I question Phoenix's ability to pull ~25%. though I'm also not convinced Bomberman or Crash can get 25%, so that's just a tossup. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! now playing: Jeanne d'Arc |

Bomberman should definitely get second...the only way he'd lose to Phoenix or Crash is if they gave him the Xbox picture X/ --- Proud fanboy of the Ogre Battle saga!!! ~~~Allah Approves~~~ |

Well, Crash definitely isn't getting 25%. Phoenix has a slight chance.
Bomberman has the best chance of anyone to get that high, but I don't
think he will, and Phoenix getting 20% or so will be enough for second. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

I put PW in my bracket, as I think the format favors him and his strength has likely increased from last year. --- doo doo doo I got no sig |

I would have taken PW if someone with major drawing potential was in
the match... I don't think Magus is going to gobble enough % to make
his small, but hardcore fanbase push him over the top. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

Like I said, Bomberman definitely has the iconicness behind him. Crash
hasn't been relevant since the mid-90's, and Phoenix is too obscure for
his own good. TuRtLe ~~~ 28/32 in the contest. Next pick: Sephiroth > Peach BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Crash hasn't been relevant since the mid-90's, and Phoenix is too
obscure for his own good. I know what you were trying to say there, but ... no. Bomberman and Crash are both well past their primes -- they were bigger back in the day, not so much now. You can't cite Bomberman's ... "iconicness" and then bash Crash for not having been relevant since the mid-90s. Crash in his prime was far bigger than Bomberman's ever been. And neither are relevant today. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |
