I think the Magus/Sephiroth SFF will be just as bad as any Fox/Mario
SFF. That is, if Magus can even get to that round - if Magus drops
anymore, Big Boss/Pac-Man could put up a serious fight. --- Save the cheerleader, save the world. o_0 The Ohio State University: We are so much better than m*ch!g@n. |

I was wondering why it wouldn't let me post... it hit 500. In response to KH: With Arthas/Diablo, I think part of the blame is that Diablo doesn't do so well in a multi-option poll. It's hard to say. (Arthas' picture, too?) With Mewtwo/Bowser, I think it's because Toad caused Bowser to do a bit worse in relation to Mewtwo. As for MK/Peach... I think it just shows that SFF isn't as big of a factor as we thought, especially among characters of a different series. (see Frog/Axel, too) I'm just hoping my idea here is true, so that Ryu has a real legitimate shot against Bowser next round. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!

I also don't forget Mario's beatdown against chumps like Ness and
the like. But Fox has always seemed "different" to me, especially at
this stage of SSBM's popularity. Fox is above the likes of Ness, but we honestly don't have a good idea of where he's going to be at. Anyon calling anything for him based on this is getting crazy. I don't have any problem seeing Mario, Link or any of the kings of Nintendo SFF having any trouble smacking Fox around like he's nothing. The worry about SSBM is starting to reach the "Zeldafear" levels, if you ask me. SSBM or no, Mario would make Fox look terrible. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

I'm a bit surprised by how badly Banjo is doing. I thought he'd do better. Same, but we might have been influenced by the previous rounds. Being the lone non-Nintendo character (well, the character with the least Nintendo ties, anyway) probably won't account for much if people barely have a reason to consider you. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I think the Magus/Sephiroth SFF will be just as bad as any Fox/Mario
SFF. That is, if Magus can even get to that round - if Magus drops
anymore, Big Boss/Pac-Man could put up a serious fight. Again, the thing is that Magus/Sephiroth SFF/LFF needs to be much worse. Since Magus is stronger it could be worse, but by enough? Also I don't see Big Boss as a threat to Magus. Pac-Man I could see challenging Magus in the right situation, but not with Mario there. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I agree with pretty much everything you said, except that I think in general, SFF/LFF is *huge* factor in this contest. I just don't think it was particularly the case in that Meta Knight/Peach match. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'm not sure Magus would get SFF'd all that much in that match. Magus held up decently against Crono back in 2004. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

The idea is the split alone would be enough. Magus maintains his
proportion with Crono, but Pac-Man takes like 25% of the votes, leading
to something like Crono 44% Magus 19% Frog 14% Pac-Man 23% --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

Pac would probably be doing alright to nab 25% against Crono alone.
Against all three? I'm thinking he wouldn't have an easy time getting
20%... --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Edgeworth is also part of a fad, and the Bidoof fad is so niche I

the fad than Bidoof. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

I'm not saying fad SFF, I'm trying to guess how much of their strength
will be from their respective fads. Although Bidoof's (and Zolom)
pretty much a joke even if you don't know about the fad, unlike

Bidoof is worthless. You get Starly and Shinx around the same time as
him, and they're both 50x better. As soon as players start to realize
Bidoof isn't worth crap, they dump him. --- "It's Meta Knight, whose introduction was delayed for some reason." - Sakurai |
