Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 474

Also, just to touch on what KH said: not only is Fox arguably THE favorite of the SSB series, but he's been re-announced on the site and Wario will most likely be in the poll with MK as well. MK will be going solely off of his surprisingly-decent strength from the Kirby series...it's just a matter of how much that really amounts to and how well it holds up against two Nintendo characters instead of one.

Mario/Cloud underrates him there.

Totally neglibly. Cloud should've beat Mario match by like 2 points maybe.

I do agree that Fox will be fine though.

Fox isn't losing to Falcon there. It's just not happening.

I agree, but I could definitely see Fox>Falcon.

Even if Fox does beat Meta Knight this year, Meta Knight will probably beat him handily after Brawl. Judging by how he looks to play in Brawl, theres a new fan favorite in town.

Meta Knight beating out Fox is clearly in the realm of possibility however if Meta-Knight can take care of Peach.

Even if we assume Peach beats Fox one-on-one, this format simply does not favor Peach while it's tailor made for someone like Meta-Knight. There's no need to get out of control and start calling for Meta-Knight to be this monster just because of him being a couple of percents ahead of Peach, especially here.

He's doing a good job right now, though. Don't need to make more out of it than what it is.

Even if a lot of people have played Kirby, does Meta Knight have that prominent of a role in the games? I'm not trying to be smart. I haven't played them, so I'm just asking.

I know you like to hold that Sephiroth > Cloud in 2002, but I find the idea unfathomable. Cloud certainly didn't get much more, if anything from the KH games - the biggest hype-selling point on ANY character was Sephiroth's much heralded boss battle.

I think it's a lot more his close relation to Kirby, and his awesome character design.

Doubt it. The Kirby series isn't that popular for Meta-Knight to show this type of strength. Otherwise, Ridley should have been a lot stronger given how much more popular a series it is...

Like I said in my writeup, MK is basically to Kirby what Protoman is to Mega Man. Recurring boss with mysterious motives, but generally seems to be on the good side.

I'd take Meta Knight over Peach 1 on 1. I don't see how this format helps him.

I agree he's no monster just because he's stronger than Peach, but that's because Peach is a borderline chump. She's low midcarder.

No one truly likes Ridley, though, as I said during the villains contest. He is best known for breaking through random walls and attacking for what the gamer determines to be no real reason aside from a boss fight. He's not badass, he's just some random dragon thing you fight. Meta Knight? His fights are epic, man.

I would not be surprised in the slightest to see Meta Knight be stronger.

I'd take Meta Knight over Peach 1 on 1. I don't see how this format helps him.

I understand that you don't buy into the idea of this format favoring characters with a hardcore fanbase, which is something I really don't agree with. I'm not willing to say anything about Peach/Meta-Knight in a one-on-one environment based off of this. Meta-Knight's not exactly running away with this right now.

My comparison raises a good point.

We need to see Protoman back in these things.

I bet he would have done well for himself in this format.

And THIS just seems like you're trying to rationalize a pick in order to assert the format doesn't matter. In a one-on-one situation, Peach would dispatch of Meta Knight handily. He's got the look, he's got the Brawl hype, but Peach has too much of the Pac-Man effect on her side to lose heads up.

Even if this is the NPH, the sight of MK > Peach > CATS thirty minutes into the match is worrisome. It's only amplified when CATS's poor day-vote is compared with Nintendo's consistent one. This is brutal on CATS right now.

hmm.. I can't believe that with Peach and Meta-Knight splitting votes so effectively, that CATS isn't in a better position. maybe he'll end up staying somewhat stable while the other two tussle for votes, allowing him to sneak in here.

I'm still kinda shocked here.. never even considered Meta-Knight.

This is purely anecdotal and meaningless, but I've played Kirby games for a grand total of 5 minutes, and would never have known Meta Knight from that series. But I voted for him here.

This also might be the first time I didn't vote Sephiroth in a match he was in.

Overall though, I think his games might play a role, but his character design and similarity to Kirby are more important.

Also, there's the fact that he has "Knight" in his name, and everyone loves knights :)

Hell, if Frog was called Frog Knight, he probably wouldn't have struggled with Axel at all! ;)
