...Is anyone else feeling 5% or less for Wander tomorrow? To begin
with, SotC isn't THAT popular. Then you've got the fact that the name
"Wander" is never said in game anywhere. You have to look at the
instructional manual credits to find it. Then there's the fact that his
picture is horribly unrecognizable. You need to see the sword or Agro
or something, for cryin' out loud. He looks like a woman (...Maybe they
were going to call it Wanda and the Colossus for a reason!). --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

And I'm wondering why people wanted Banjo in the contest in the
first place. I know I was saying I expected him to beat Falcon
yesterday, but still...this is bad. He was only going to be Conker
level at the very best, and it seems he's well below that. This is basically an all-Nintendo poll right? You can't expect Banjo to be anywhere near his peak strength in this matchup. Also, I thought that Conker's character was the reason he was liked, not the popularity of Bad Fur Day. Even if BK and BT were more prominent, he still doesn't hold that edge. Really, Fox is doing much better than I thought, and it all seems at the expense of Banjo. Thinking about who they are, it really isn't that surprising a result. In retrospect, I wouldn't expect Banjo fans to hold up under the presence of these three... --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

I would still like to see Banjo in a normal contest setup. I don't
think he's going to be worth much of anything, but I think he's
deserving of one of the bottom seeds that is going to go to a character
of no strength anyway. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

It's hard to even gauge Fox's strength in an all Nintendo poll chock
full of SFF. A lot of people are jumping the gun in saying Sephiroth
> Fox. --- Feel my truth. |

Its not like he's facing Mewtwo or someone I'd give a 'decent' chance
to upset him. He's up against Meta Knight who was struggling to beat
Peach for a while and Wario again who he's embarrassing here. --- Demyx is better than Axel. I don't like Haley Scarnato |

Banjo is doing worse than I thought he would, but not by much. I never epxpected him to do anything. What the hell, CF? He completely collapsed. I expected Wario to end up winning, but CF just...died. --- Can anyone give me the dimensions of their Wii box?- Mershiness adamjaxe- Stop measuring your presents.... |

If Fox is just shy of beating Wario and CF combined, then I'm not
fretting Fox > MK. Now, Round Two will definitely be different for
Fox/Wario -- a non-Nintendo Noble Niner will be in the poll to suck
many of their more casual votes -- but we're seeing that Nintendo fans
in general definitely support Fox to some extent. Also, if Wario or MK
had benefited from SSBB-hype at all this round, expect even less for
them next round. MK will have Fox in the poll instead of Peach to snag
more of the SSB-love and will be facing two Nintendo characters that
Nintendo fans care more about compared to one Nintendo character that
Nintendo fans are generally apathetic about. Meanwhile, Wario will now
be competing with MK for any SSBB-hype left over. This doesn't really
delve into their normal strengths, but MK and Wario are still in bad
positions next round. Again, having Sephiroth in the poll definitely changes things, but not necessarily much. Given Fox's performance today and how MK/Wario will clash, methinks Fox has it pretty easily again. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

hmm.. Mewtwo/Fox would be just as hard as Donkey Kong/Fox. I dunno
really. it'd be close, though. Fox > DK is starting to look
realistic, though. but we have no idea where Wario stands just yet. and all Falcon really has is SSB, so this performance, though good, isn't exactly super duper special. Mewtwo got 25% in a poll with both Ryu and Bowser in it and I think this is just as equally as good as that.

Fox is beating Wario and CF combined by more than a full percent now.
Fox managed 17% against Link in 2k3 while dealing with SFF from him
while MK managed 18% against Sephiroth and CATS yesterday while dealing
with "SFF" from Peach. I don't believe many people would have taken MK
> Wario before the contest, and I wonder how many would even today. Unless Fox's fans from SF64 and SSB/M aren't hardcore fans (ha!), there's no way Fox doesn't advance with some style next round. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

I believe that Wario is basically equal to Peach, but that, like Peach,
he'd be on the ass end of SFF in a Nintendo match. basically, I see no
way for MK to advance - but then, I saw no way for him to advance vs.
Peach either. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

probably Wario. I think MK is equal parts hype and character. well, and

hell you are. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

I don't know. I'm not making any assumptions based off of a match like
this. This doesn't say anything about Fox's strength when pitted
against characters who aren't from Nintendo -- low tier Nintendo at
that. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

This match certainly doesn't determine Fox's strength, but it surely debunks those people holding Fox to the one
legitimate match he had, which was against Cloud all the way back in
2k2. And I take those stats with a grain of salt. Fox is basically an
unknown. I found it kind of silly to say that he couldn't be
stronger than Donkey Kong, especially with as little info we have about
the guy's contest strength. Yet, he always got written off. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

not by all of us. I've said in the past that I'd take Fox over Vivi,
for example. I have high expectations when it comes to Fox. there's no
reason *not* to expect big things -- or at least decent things -- out
of him. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! "war uh ya what is it good for absulite nothing" -ertyu |

I dunno, his games since 2k2 haven't been very impressive, and even
back in 2k2 he wasn't even close to Kirby, who's had most of his
biggest games since that contest. This performance seems to imply that
he'd come awfully close to Kirby 2k6. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

I admit I had trouble with Boss/Pac when I filled out my bracket, but
it's hard to have faith in Pac after seeing how he has performed
against Mario sidekicks. That, and if certain characters indeed rise
and fall in this format (I don't think it is as big of an effect as
people say it is), Pac would indeed be the first to fall.
