Hmmm...yeah. I can't really see Raiden doing that
much worse than Fisher with the after-school vote...if he's even worse
at all. I'd be pretty surprised if Raiden dropped the match at this
point. Naked Raiden Cartwheel pic for Round 2, plz. --- Kleenex - Not on his computer. |

Eh you know, I'm not so sure this four pack is weaker than Mega Man's at all. I'm still not convinced Arthas isn't fodder (though he's higher fodder than I thought), I just think it's the case that Diablows in this format or that maybe Arthas SFFed him. Sam Fisher probably doesn't lose to KOS-MOS by that much. I don't think this is looking bad for Crono at all, really. Or Raiden. I mean... I certainly wanted him to be stronger than this, but he's still clearly above the fodder line at least. And it's possible that the MGS4 pic might be hurting him a bit. I wouldn't bet on it, but it wouldn't surprise me too much. --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

Eh you know, I'm not so sure this four pack is weaker than Mega Man's at all. As a whole? I think it certainly is. Everyone in his fourpack was stronger than Simon Belmont. I think Diablo's the lead choice for the strongest out of two both groups, too. --- Final Fantasy VII Remake -- Believe |

yeah, that post just reeks of spin, dude. Raiden is doing pretty bad
here, and if Fisher keeps making 40 vote cuts, this may actually be
interesting. still think Raiden wins, but we really don't know his trends at all. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Diablo is definitely the strongest out of the two groups, but in the
situation he was in he's probably weaker than Sam Fisher and Raiden.
And I wouldn't expect him to be that far ahead of Simon Belmont. And yuck, Raiden. I will say he's disappointed me if he ends up losing to Sam Fisher here. --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

Eh, I can't see it being even being kinda
close. Diablo, Arthas, KOS-MOS -- they rock Simon's world one-on-one.
I'd take all three over Sam Fisher, too, although I can see how one
would think that might be close and up for debate. But still, I think
there's a pretty noticeable difference in competition between what
Crono's facing and what Mega Man faced. Outside of Cloud, I think Mega Man has performed the best compared to his competition. --- Final Fantasy VII Remake -- Believe |

Relative to what one would expect (in my own retrospect), I'd say more like.... Mega Man > Cloud > Samus > Link > Mario > Sephiroth > Crono. But, as for purely what the competition infers in terms of strength... Cloud > Link (of course, Link still beats Cloud) > Sephiroth > Mega Man > Samus > Mario > Crono Not that I agree with such an order in the least, except that maybe Mega Man isn't below Crono. --- "Ah, a party!

Eh. If you look at the raw power of the four packs you're sure to think
Mega Man's is a good deal stronger. I'm just saying stick Simon Belmont
in the four pack instead of KOS-MOS and he probably gets around the
same % he's getting here just because Arthas is weak and Diablo has no
hardcore backing. Of course that makes Diablo and Arthas and Mega Man go up, but not ridiculously so. Put Sam Fisher or Raiden in that four pack instead of KOS-MOS and I take them to take second easy. ... but blah at this. Raiden should not have to squeak by Sam Fisher! --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

still don't see why some people expected him to have strength Cause he's the freaking original Belmont. Simon is so badass, that nobody knows what his real hair color is.

Big Boss through Mario is a solid mid-carder, and The Boss through Vincent is a low mid-carder... Both of which are flat out untrue. People are blowing that Big Boss performance out of proportion. He is nothing but fodder. He couldn't even get 30% on Auron BEFORE KHII. 35% on pre-KHII Auron is a low midcarder. Under 30% is fodder. And 60% on Celes doesn't strike me as anything above the fodder line. The Boss wouldn't beat Tails one-on-one, for that matter. This format just caters to some characters more than others. And I think Raiden will hold on just fine by the end. Sam Fisher isn't gaining quickly enough to get the lead before the MGS night vote takes back over. He won't win decisively (maybe not even by more than 1000), but I'm confident Raiden will hold on. There's no telling if the picture is hurting him here or not, and we won't get an idea unless he gets a MGS2 picture next round. By the way, after reading the MK and SF discussion in the last topic, I have to say that whoever thinks MK Raiden would come anywhere close to Scorpion and Sub-Zero in strength is crazy. And people need to get it out of their minds that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are near equals. Everything indicates otherwise. --- Vote for Serge. |

keeps up for the entire day, it still won't be enough. --- Kleenex - Now with an invigorating blast of citrus cherry flavor. CB6 - 38/52; Oracle - 40th |
