If Phoenix loses, we'll say it was PhoeniH, just like we did with "uigi" against Squall. --- *votes for Meta-Knight to help CATS win* ~Leonhart |

Bomberman may as well be the universal symbol for multiplayer mayhem... Um...Smash Bros.? Bomberman Live is totally relevant. You're banking on a game that sold less than Justice for All. lol bomberman --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

I honestly think Bomberman takes second place fairly easily. Magus
isn't going to dominate that fourpack. He'll get 40%+, but he won't get
anywhere close to 50%. Bomberman would avoid the doubling against Magus
one-on-one, and I doubt the ability of the other two to do that.
Bomberman's 35.24% on Squall is far more impressive than anything the
other two did. I don't think Gordon Freeman would do that, so you can forget about Phoenix Wright doin' that. People need to remember that Bomberman isn't really fodder. He's a low midcarder, really. Heck, he was practically equal to Kefka and Tails in 2004, and he ranked above Ryu Hayabusa and Jill. Sure, there's Squall SFF-adjustment to think about, but still, I'd say he's safely above the other two. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I doubt he's dropped that much. Either way, there's no way I take Crash or Phoenix to beat him head-to-head. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I wouldn't take 'em over Bomberman head-to-head either, but there's a
number of cases where a character has advanced/won when he wasn't the
strongest. (darn you ryu) --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

If Crash is terrible with the day vote, that means he doesn't have much casual support. Bomberman > Magus confirmed! TuRtLe ~~~ 28/32 in the contest. Next pick: Sephiroth > Peach BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Magus, Phoenix, and Crash have the same fanbase anyway. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Yeah, but I think Phoenix Wright is going to need Magus to get a high
percentage here. Bomberman still has his fans (like me), and I still
think he could break the fodder line here. Crash is just going to suck. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Ganon's going to be a bust, all right! But he ain't gonna be busting into the Final Four, if you catch my drift! --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Assume he does tho. Will he leech off Link enough to push cloud
through? I say no, because cloud and snake will be competing for the
psx vote themselves. --- Contest pts: 24 Today: Ryu>Bowser |

What the hell is with this Ganon support? He would have had to boost alot to even come close to Sonic, and Snake is in there taking a small chunk of his Nintendo votes. TuRtLe ~~~ 28/32 in the contest. Next pick: Sephiroth > Peach BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Ganondorf (2006c) VS Sonic (2006c) Ganondorf has a strength of 35.16. Sonic has a strength of 38.70. Sonic wins with 54.57% of the vote! A win of 12,206 with 133,439 total votes cast. ...? maybe you and I think having different meanings of "boosting a lot", especially when he's got the biggest game of the year in front of him now. not that I'd take him to ever beat Sonic, but to say he's way weaker than him is flat out wrong. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! now playing: Jeanne d'Arc |

Underestimation? Most of the topic is behind Bomberman. That's overestimation! I read it really fast and only saw Leonhart defending him. About that whole Bomberman/icon discussion, I definitely consider Bomberman an icon, but just on a different tier than the mainstream Nintendo characters et al (Sonic, Mega Man, etc.). His games have been around forever, and everyone knows who he is. I'd put him on the same tier as Pac-Man in that everyone knows him and he's sure to get some "Hey cool, it's Bomberman! Loved those games!" votes. Don't forget that Bomberman's N64 games were relatively popular among that Nintendo fanbase. With so few standout games at the time on the N64, those games got a bit more recognition than his games normally get. And don't underestimate Xbox Live. You can't go by pure sales. The game was incredibly hyped on Xbox Live. When you turn on the 360 and go to the dashboard, advertised games are right there in your face, and demos are readily available. That alone is reason enough for the Xbox 360 fanbase to vote for Bomberman over the likes of Phoenix Wright, Crash Bandicoot, and Magus. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Squall has a much better of a shot of taking down Sonic than Ganondorf.
Mainly because he has the first crack and they're about the same
strength. Plus, if there's anything funny between Kirby and Sonic it
increases Squall's chances. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

Not only is Squall stronger than Ganondorf, Squall also has a more
hardcore fanbase. If anyone takes out Sonic, it's Squall (Not that
either are going to happen) --- Fc: 4768 3939 5325 |
