yeah, Ness is like 22% for me, but I treat him differently. I treat
him.. kind of like Pac-Man, actually. I'd take pretty much anything
Nintendo over him, and anyone with a halfway-dedicated fanbase. --- "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 |

Auron couldn't SFF him...and how many characters are there with more dedicated fanbases than Auron? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Why would Auron be able to SFF Ness...? Did you mean someone else? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Well we've seen Ness against Nintendo twice. Bowser completely
destroyed him in 2k3 but I think that was just a 2k3 thing because Ness
managed to get 17% on Mario on Steroids. That is pretty respectable for
a character who many say is powerful only because of Smash Bros. Mario
could have SFF'd him far worse. --- Demyx is better than Axel. I don't like Haley Scarnato |

I don't get where all this Ness doubting is coming from. He has his
core fanbase of Earthbound fanboys and the wide recognizability of a
decent Smash character. Of course he'll fold under most Nintendo, but I
think he'll do well for himself in that fourpack from hell. TuRtLe ~~~ 34/40 in the contest. Next pick: Mario > Pac-Man BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Auron couldn't SFF him...and how many characters are there with more dedicated fanbases than Auron? Huh, when is Auron a Nintendo character. He never says characters with dedicated fanbases will definitely SFF Ness. --- Proud Supporter of Solid Snake, Dante and Ryu. |

I really don't think that's a good spot for him pre-boost. I'd put
him more at 20%ish on Link. Higher with the boost, but still not at
25%. I think that's where Scorpion is, and I'm pretty confident (and
was before the contest) he'd dispatch Ness without sweating it. If he was 20ish on Link, so was Scorp in 2k3...and that's a rather unexplained drop for him from the year prior. Not to mention saying fairly poor things about pre-KHII Auron. I don't think Jak and CJ were particularly strong, but they weren't fodder, either. 20% on BL is looking at characters like Nukem, Vyse, Kain...That's not Ness' level, regardless of how bad he did against Bowser and Mario. That's probably not Jak or CJ level either (at in their respective years, when they were new and exciting). --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

Er, I got that impression that tranny was saying that anyone with a
halfway-dedicated fanbase would overperform on Ness. Maybe I
misunderstood him... --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

I smelled a Big Boss overperformance, but even 24% seems like too much... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

overperform? no, I just wouldn't take him to win there. this goes for
Peach, Wario, any of those guys as well. I don't believe Ness is the
best guy to draw comparisons from. --- "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 |

well, 24% is probably going to be more like 20% come the end of the
match. maybe a little bit more, but Mario's going to be pushing for 60%
here. --- "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 |

Because Big Boss was supposed to totally suck or something, that's what. If wonder how well Ms.Pac-Man would do if she was in Pac-Man's spot? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I'm just trying to understand the logic behind Big Boss *not* having a

It is just the same scenario as PH. PH only scored 16% against Bowser
and yet he managed to score the same percentage against
Auron/Knuckles/Chris. Maybe their dedicated fanbase does help in this format. --- Proud Supporter of Solid Snake, Dante and Ryu. |
