Another example would be how she seemed to underperform against Cloud. Yeah, Samus underperformed in the most impressive match she's EVER had. Is there any argument you CAN'T botch utterly? --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Another example would be how she seemed to underperform against Cloud. One of her pics that day was Cloud 9999ing her armour right off. What?! Underperformed?! Samus got 40% in that match... against Cloud Strife. There was no underperformance there whatsoever. That's just ridiculous. If anything, that picture should help the idea that ZSS was not nearly as big a factor as you make it out to be. dammit turtle --- let's mosey |

Mega Man (2006c) VS Yoshi (2006c) Mega Man has a strength of 38.41. Yoshi has a strength of 36.84. Mega Man wins with 52.04% of the vote! A win of 5,067 with 123,960 total votes cast. Is there any argument you CAN'T botch utterly? I fail to see a problem with that. Yoshi was always behind some strong Nintendo character or that weird 2k5 match with Mega Man. I still think last year's value is the best thing we'll have on him. And now that Yoshi is looking really good to advance to round 3, how do people feel about Mega Man taking first in round 3? TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

One of her pics that day was Cloud 9999ing her armour right off. I actually thought she performed better than expected in that one actually. Plus, that pic pair was a bit biased to Cloud. The other half with Samus overpowering Cloud was kinda lame. --- 100% Frog Log Quest: Current Progress- 400 of 627 Completed: Jaster, Kisala, Deego |

You saw what Samus did to Super Snake last year. Yes, some of that was
SFF, but what Snake did to Mega Man/Sonic is something you'd expect
from Mario. Mario would break 40% on Cloud easily. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

argh I just had this damn conversation with aitch emm and kay aitch this week Samus's performance on Cloud despite the 9999 picture is THE BIGGEST ARGUMENT AGAINST ZSS. never bring it up again --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

with Samus overpowering Cloud was kinda lame. I still say Ceej dropped the ball by not sticking vegetable Cloud-in-Wheelchair in that pic. FFVII block graphics at its finest. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Believing that a character goes from 48% to 32%
for any reason goes beyond mere delusion. It's more akin to wondering
how one continues to BREATHE properly without choking on one's own
tongue. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

I just checked and see that Cloud actually had a Tactics sprite for that match, heh. I don't remember that. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=2&page=6 Too bad Cloud was underlevelled and unusable in Tactics when you got him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I was always under the impression Mario was stronger than Samus indirectly, but I'm starting to rethink that. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

| It's such an absurd argument that if you're trying
to troll, it's the most absolute and miserable low attempt ever yet
attempted. If not, it's simply miserable. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Why do you insist on using 2k2 stats KH? Haven't they proven themselves useless enough? TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 9/24/2007 11:10:15 PM | message detail |
| It makes about as much sense as the argument that
Zelda's kid picture hurts her because it's from OoT (which nobody likes
after all) and that Squall overperformed on Luigi because of 'uigi' all
rolled up into one. With Pikachu/Isaac SFF atop it in a glistening pile
of insanity. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

.... what's so hard to believe about Pikachu/Isaac SFF? They're both RPG characters on Nintendo handhelds. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

| Maybe I should start posting in these topics,
partially so that I can bug KH, partially because this will no doubt
increase my socialization stat from some negative figure to a slightly
less negative one. --- Eh? You Serious? Easy Mode? How Disgusting! Only Elementary School Kids should play on Easy Mode. |

And I never really said Zelda's kid picture hurt her. What happened there was her 2k5 self showing up for the match and proving that lol female bracket TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2121 But yeah guys it's all the picture, Mega and Yoshi are near equals and Snake was actually supposed to get 55% on Mega Man in 2004.

....what? Mega Man was shooting Yoshi in the face in that match pic. That's like, the epitome of picture advantage. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Unless you are Kefka, Solid Snake and Samus, pictures do not matter. Do I need to point to Kerrigan? --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

It's like Snake Konami SFFing Soma Cruz right before Kefka JRPG SFFed Zelos (but not Mithos) but not quite until Zero underperformed by 10 points due to the picture --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Snake's dodging that shot And Kerrigan is too unknown for pic to matter. I still think voters are more swayed by match pics than most people seem to think. We always see people saying how they think the matches are indicitive of actual fights TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe.

Zero/Luigi was a combination of the seeding (and bracket votes) and the match pic. Zelos was just that weak. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

You still think Zero/Luigi was SFF? I just noticed that Zero/Luigi had the highest votals of any round 1 match. How the hell could that match possibly be SFF? TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| Draco1214 | Posted 9/24/2007 11:24:02 PM | message detail |

You're right, it wasn't SFF. It was Zero bombing because he just plain isn't that strong anymore. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

We'll see. I got a taste of sweet victory tonight, and despite it being worth less points to me than Master Chief or Kratos, I want Zero to pull it off just so I can rub it in all your faces. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I'm sure all the voters exclaimed to themselves in unison "yeah, he's
dodging it! oh man Snake is so cool this picture doesn't influence me
to vote for Mega Man at all!" Right before they failed to read the rules and fill out this year's bracket correctly --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Remember, Mega Man blasting you in the face (if you're not dodging) makes you look 16 points worse Mega Man > Cloud when shooting him in the face confirmed --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| If it's emo Cloud from Kingdom Hearts without his
sword, and Mega Man X blasting him point blank with a fully charged
shot, I'd expect a massive MM overperformance, to the tune of
Mario-like numbers. TuRtLe ~~~ 65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

That's because the super duper Mega Man was from a crappy fighting game
