heh, Meta-Knight gains 50 votes on Peach. time to find out if Meta-Knight is legit or a board creation. I can't believe this is all SSBB - Kirby musta gotten SFFed by Metroid pretty good. haw.

Peach is getting that whole "no one cares about her" theory tested, but in a totally different way than we expected.

What's almost as funny is the fact that Sephiroth only went up .03%. You'd think his hideous board vote would've knocked him down more.

What?! Where is Meta drawing this support from? Is Brawl that popular or is the Kirby series more popular than I thought? I thought Kirby's appeal was that he was ****ing Kirby, not that his series was that strong.

Man, I was so OMGing I posted it twice. Hah.

Yeah, anyway. MK winning makes me just as happy as CATS winning, here, so this is good stuff. Sephiroth is hated by the board, but I'm still a bit surprised to see him move not much at all here.

creativename | Posted 9/10/2007 9:14:25 PM | message detail
I think Meta Knight will do well in the day, better than Peach. So he's looking good right now. I think my "Kirby proxy" theory was in the right direction.

Sephiroth should jump up a lot in the day, and Meta Knight should do decent (if not go up, lose the least to Sephiroth). Those percentages will probably come from Peach and CATS.

Maybe he'll legitimately end with under 50%.

No.

I'm guessing people have simply forgotten what FF7 is like with the board vote, eh?

Yes :)

I think Brawl is more likely to be crazy popular with the early vote. not that Meta-Knight can't be this legitimately strong, but I'd certainly give it some time before saying "whoa, this is over." remember, this board LOVES Brawl.

MegatokyoEd | Posted 9/10/2007 9:14:45 PM | message detail
I honestly don't know why everyone brought up the Kirby series bombing as a reason for Meta Knight to bomb. The Kirby series is hardly anyones favorite series at all, even though it has fans... But that does not mean that the characters themselves aren't loved. Meta Knight, like Kirby is far more loved than his actual series.

Kirby musta gotten SFFed by Metroid pretty good.

I've always thought this. And the reason why Pokemon did so well versus Metroid in contrast is because a lot of people don't view Pokemon as a part of Nintendo--they instead view it as a separate entity (what with it having its own tv show and all).

Glad I went with Sephiroth > Meta-Knight in any case!

Sephiroth is notoriously bad with the board vote. in fact, I'd say he has the worst board vote in existence. not to go all elitist here or anything, but people who have been watching him for years pretty much expected this.
