| 80%? Link could barely break 70% and I wouldn't
feel bad about his chances, especially after last year. On top of that,
AiAi was able to get 9% against Link in 2k3, and -- though he's now
stronger than ever -- I doubt Bidoof or Miles are weaker than AiAi. Who
knows about Agent J, and Link does have SFF-ability...but as is, I
still wouldn't bet on Link breaking 80% and certainly wouldn't think
it'd be a problem if he fell shy of it. I think he'll land over 75%,
but I'd still have faith in him winning the contest if he "only" broke
70%. --- 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 |

Yeah, BB has whipped some ass for today...though I assume he's still got some dropping to do.

Well, this match is going according to expectations in terms of overall
results, but in percentage distribution, it's not what I expected. Big
Boss beating Pac-Man and Wander combined? Wander getting close to
Pac-Man and being near 10%? SotC fans must be more astute than the
average fan to even know who that was in the match picture. But Big Boss is getting more here than he's expected to get on Mario one-on-one (I'm surprised EC isn't using this fact to hype Samus!!), though he might be pushing that number toward the end. Still, I'm well pleased to see the dedication of the MGS fanbase! It makes me feel better about having Alucard > Liquid in my bracket. And for all of the Midna/Ness discussion before, I'm not so sure Ness does much better if you throw him in place of Midna. I think Scorpion would have still won easily. Not sure what the percentages would've been, but to see him win easily would not surprise me in the least. Remember that this format isn't perfectly indicative of individual strength. I just have a hard time seeing Ness having a hardcore enough fanbase to beat Alucard AND Liquid, both of whom he'd struggle to beat one-on-one, I think. Tough to say though. I just think that Ness doesn't have hardcore support here outside of Earthbound. Sure, Super Smash Brothers fans are hardcore about the games, but what about the characters themselves? I'm not so sure, but we shall see. Also, #3 and #4 on the leaderboard represent! If Magus > Bomberman happens tomorrow, I might be #1 and #2! --- "I'm no hero...Never was.

Also, this isn't the performance Mario needs if he wants to top
Sephiroth later on. Sure, he's going to keep on rising, but against
this crap of a fourpack he's got, he'd need 60%+ to make me even consider Mario > Sephiroth later on. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

For having seen Scorpion = Ness in 2k4, the Nintendo Boost happen, and
knowing at least one part of Ness's fanbase is hardcore about him while
the rest of his fanbase comes from a far more popular series than
Scorpion's only series, I don't see why Ness only doing mildly better
than Midna if he took her place is being considered. I wouldn't promise
Ness beats Scorpion in this format, but I'd certainly take it to
happen. Normal strength has them on even terms and this format would
presumably favor Ness more than Scorpion. Ness wouldn't have done as
well as Scorpion if he took Scorpion's place thanks to Midna, but I
think Ness would have outdone Scorpion if he took Midna's place. Ness's real four-pack is still completely up for grabs, but I think the poll having three mainly-PS1 characters can only help Ness. --- 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 |

You people need to stop this PSX "SFF" stuff! It's nonsense! You've got
characters from four of the most popular series on GameFAQs. The
overlap is going to be there for ALL of them. Ness isn't at a supreme
advantage here. Normal strength has them on even terms and this format would presumably favor Ness more than Scorpion. Explain to me why. Because he's Nintendo? I honestly don't see Smash fans being THAT loyal to him, and I believe fighting game fans ARE loyal. I don't see the advantage Ness has in this format over Scorpion. Personally, I don't think you can draw the conclusion of Ness > Midna because of a fourway poll. You could draw all sorts of ridiculous conclusions from this format if you take it all at face value. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |
| Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 9/13/2007 1:06:25 PM | message detail |
| Eh, with the Pac-Man SFF, I don't think Mario's overall percentage means much today. It's just his relation to Big Boss that I'm looking at, and it's not pretty (even if he does pick up a couple points as the day goes on). |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 9/13/2007 1:07:14 PM | message detail |
| Also, I don't like this "Midna only had to be
twice as strong as Tingle to beat Scorpion!" stuff. You can't apply
transitivity here. It just ain't gonna work, as we've already seen in
this format. There are too many variables to consider. Just because
Midna got whomped doesn't mean she's fodder. She may well be, but it
doesn't mean that. At the very least, I don't think Scorpion beats her
as badly as their match implies, hence why I think he'd still win
easily even with Ness in the poll. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Because of the fact that it's very easy not to know his name, the game
isn't identified on the poll, AND that picture is HORRIBLE. I could
easily see someone not realizing that it was the SotC guy. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

If Big Boss is doing this then I could drink some MGS Kool Aid and
believe Liquid>Alucard hype. But really I'd pick that four pack to
be the closest in the entire bracket, top to bottom. Zidane is
generally the consensus "loser" and even he should draw some Square
voters. There's certainly no juggernaut, I could see first being around
30% and last being a little short of 20%. --- Should I start running now? |

You people need to stop this PSX "SFF" stuff! It's nonsense! You've
got characters from four of the most popular series on GameFAQs. The
overlap is going to be there for ALL of them. Ness isn't at a supreme
advantage here. Not really SFF, just that if you weren't crazy about the PS1 then that most likely takes Zidane completely out of the picture while hurting both Alucard and Liquid since that's what they're mainly known on. If you weren't crazy about the N64, that probably hurts Ness like the above hurt Alucard or Liquid while those two and Zidane still fight it out from there. There won't be tons and tons of people like this, I know, and as you said it's not a supreme advantage...but that's still an advantage to consider for a heated four-pack. Explain to me why. Because he's Nintendo? Because of Earthbound. Being Nintendo certainly doesn't hurt when the other three are PS1-based, but it's also unproven for this format...so I'm not really trying to argue off of that. I'm just saying we KNOW that EB has a rock-solid segment here, and that will stick around and will help him in this format. I honestly don't see Smash fans being THAT loyal to him, and I believe fighting game fans ARE loyal. It's already been joked about...but SSB is a fighting series that's as popular as ever right now. Hell, we saw that it dominated the 3D-fighting-poll as hard (maybe even harder?) as Mario Kart dominated the racing-poll and it prevented being doubled by SMB last year...that says something about being loyal, THEN throw in how hyped SSBB is right now. That loyalty doesn't necessarily go to Ness, but given that he's one of the more favored in the series and that he was arguably the most favored in SSB, that has to say SOMETHING. Personally, I don't think you can draw the conclusion of Ness > Midna because of a fourway poll. You could draw all sorts of ridiculous conclusions from this format if you take it all at face value. True about ridiculous conclusions...but what do you want to call into question about Scorpion = Ness in 2k4 or Midna's poor appearance afew days ago that would make Midna > Ness reasonable? As far as I'm concerned, Ness > Midna is far from ridiculous. Ness's match may completely change my mind on this, but until I see it I'll have a hard time believing it. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

Oh, I never said Ness > Midna was ridiculous. I just said you can't draw that definitive conclusion from Midna's fourpack. I'm just saying we KNOW that EB has a rock-solid segment here, and that will stick around and will help him in this format. Earthbound really hasn't been worth that much in the past. It's part of his intrinsic strength as it is. Yeah, it's what pushes him from fodder to low midcarder, but I don't consider it an X-factor here. --- "I'm no hero...Never was.

It worked well enough to get EB be one of the reasons to discredit the
Top 100 List. It seeded very well given the nomination form for the
Game Contest. Those two make me feel good that it's not to be forgotten. Granted, you can say the same for C:SotN, but Alucard draws far less from his other games than Ness does for SSB/M and Alucard's other games don't compare to the SSB-series. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

Heh, I'd love to see Crono > Raiden > Zero (> Jak !!)...but
I'm not ready to get carried off in this yet. BB's doing incredible,
yet, but given the format, people who finished MGS3 know who BB is just
like...and we know that certain somebody would also be kicking ass in
this match (though much moreso than BB). Just saying that BB could very
reasonably have a dedicated fanbase while the rest are not so much
(barring Solid Snake...ahem). Time'll tell though. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I really don't think HK will be there although Jak does stand a good
chance (and after seeing Zelos get rocked, I'd consider him the
favorite), but yeah, that wasn't my point. I really think Raiden's got a good chance. People no longer look at him as the "girlyish" main character of MGS2 that took Snake's "rightful" spot; they see him as a badass because of MGS4. Maybe. >_> --- Metal Gear Solid OOOOWWWWWWNS! |
