Unless Simon was absolute fodder all these years and we never knew it
(i.e. Ms. Pac Man), then he should be fine in this match. Although he's
never had a chance in this contest before, and although MGS has been
performing _super_ well, I get the impression that Raiden's too weak to
withstand possible SFF from Sam Fisher (and vice-versa). Aside from that, he's the main Castlevania character from the old school days (which=more old school support than Sam or Raiden). Last of all, pic factor heavily favors EVERY character in this match except, well...Raiden. Most casual voters might not even recognize him, due to it being from MGS4. --- Ogre Battle saga fanboy, and hopeless supporter of Lans Tartare for CB2K8! |

You gotta stop grasping, if Raiden performs poorly it's because he's weak - and I've never seen such rationalizing for Simon Belmont of all people, especially with the logic so twisted. He looks like a girl in his match picture. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I get the impression that Raiden's too weak to withstand possible SFF from Sam Fisher (and vice-versa). Haha, Splinter Cell SFFing Metal Gear. That's rich! And Raiden will do just fine tomorrow. There's no need to overreact like this is the second coming of ZSS. It's not anywhere near that bad. The MGS4 trailers this year got over a million downloads on GameTrailers.com this summer. I think people know that Raiden image by now. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Man, The Boss sure is giving it all she's got to keep Tails from taking
the lead. It's oddly reminiscent of Phoenix/Bomberman, although she's
not likely to last... --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

It's getting closer and closer to when we see Master Chief in action in

Then that doesn't explain Tidus/Ganondorf, unless everyone decided to get together one day and start hating Tidus. Tidus has NEVER been close to how he appeared in 2003. Remember Tidus/Claire? --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

The PS2 version sold more than the DC version though. Well.. not by much. And considering how badly PS2s outnumbered Dreamcasts, it should have been by a lot more.
