Unless Nathan Hale turns out to be typical action hero fodder like
Agent 47 or Frank West instead of Neo-Tanner fodder, he's not beating
Laharl. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

I was pretty confident in L-Block until I saw that picture... and this
could EASILY be a case of pictures mattering a great deal. People have
to recognize it's from Tetris in order to 'get the joke', otherwise
they could easily just think it's something they don't know. And very
few people will vote for that. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

from Resistance. I actually played that game quite a bit, and I never
wouldn't realized that. Though, his name was mentioned a lot in the
game, now that I think about it. But he's totally forgettable. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Match XXV: Kirby vs L-Block vs Laharl vs Nathan Hale Information Name: Kirby Game/Series From: Kirby series Past Contests: CB2k2, CB2k3, CB2k4, CB2k5 CB2k6 Wins: Ramza (2k3), Kain (2k4), Cecil (2k5), Tidus (2k5), Prince of Persia (2k6) Losses: Jill Valentine (2k2), Alucard (2k3), Squall (2k4), Bowser (2k5), Luigi (2k6) Name: L-Block Game/Series From: Tetris series Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Name: Laharl Game/Series From: Disgaea series Past Contests: CB2k4, CB2k5 Wins: None Losses: Vyse (2k4), Yoshi (2k5) Name: Nathan Hale Game/Series From: Resistance: Fall of Man Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Analysis I’ve been dreading this match ever since the bracket came out. The L-Block is not a character but an object, CJayC said it himself back in 2k4, but now under new management it somehow made it to the contest and what’s worse is that it is in a very winnable position. Joke characters I can handle but what’s next a random piece of Final Fantasy VII furniture? Kirby will easily take first in this poll he is a high mid-carder and with all three opponents bottom of the barrel fodders I can see him going beyond 45% and challenge Dante for best performance of a non noble nine. Kirby is in an interesting division with first place already taken it becomes a fight for second and Kirby is one of three favorites (along with a bunch with a small chance) to take it. His performance in this match and next round will speak more of his chances. If I could have it my way the L-Block would come in last, but since I don’t the L-Block is the favorite to take second. The L-Block doesn’t deserve to make it in the contest yet it could be going to the next round. The question is how will the voters treat the L-Block? Will they treat it like a character or will they just laugh and vote someone else. I also see that the L-Block may have the same problem that Tetris had in the game contest where many people know it, but would vote for something else if they appear on the poll. In this format it could be bad for the L-Block, but looking at the opponents he could suffer and still end up winning. Laharl has the best chance at beating the L-Block. Since his last performance Disgaea 2 has been released which will help Laharl in this match and he needs everything he can get. Disgaea was often referred as the best game of 2003 that no one has heard about and looking at his past matches you can tell that the statement is true. This could help Laharl because of the people that have played it will probably vote for him seeing that his small hardcore fans will be there for him. If every single Playstation 3 owner votes for Nathan Hale I would expect Kirby to still double him in votes. The only thing Nathan will be doing in this match is trying to avoid last overall. Resistance may be one of the biggest games on the PS3, but being on the PS3 was its downfall. He may do better next year if sales for the PS3 picks up. Kirby will take first while second is debated between L-Block and Laharl. I wouldn’t be surprised if L-Block takes it easily, but I just can’t bring myself to accept that an object is not only in this contest, but is the favorite of making it to the next round. There is some hope for Laharl after seeing the match picture (I don’t even know how you could make the L-Block look bad). Also as a user that has been around since the first Stats & Discussion it is great to see this tradition continue all the way to 500 topics and hopefully it’ll continue for 500 more. charmander6000’s Bracket: Kirby > Laharl charmander6000’s Prediction: Kirby - 49.06%, Laharl - 21.77%, L-Block - 20.88%, Nathan Hale - 8.29% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 24: Leon Kennedy > Vivi Points: 66/92 |

Division 7: Round 1 - Match 25 – Kirby vs. L-Block vs. Laharl vs. Nathan Hale Moltar’s Analysis Kirby Game/Series Known From: Kirby Seed in 2002: 14 Seed in 2003: 3 Seed in 2004: 5 Seed in 2005: 1 Seed in 2006: 3 Lost in 2002 to Jill in Round 1 Lost in 2003 to Alucard in Round 2 Lost in 2004 to Squall in the Round 2 Lost in 2005 to Bowser in Round 3 Lost in 2006 to Luigi in Round 2 Awesome character alert! L-Block Game/Series Known From: Tetris …I guess anyone can get in. Laharl Game/Series Known From: Disgaea Seed in 2004: 9 Seed in 2005: 6 Lost in 2004 to Vyse in Round 1 Lost in 2005 to Yoshi in Round 1 Our favorite uber-obscure RPG character makes his return. Nathan Game/Series Known From: Resistance: Fall of Man More like Nathan FAIL This is awesome. So far, 4/5 of my favorite characters will have advanced to Round 2 so far, with the last getting his chance later. Who are they? Cookie to anyone who knows! Anyway, one of those 4 is Kirby. He’s pretty much guaranteed to take the top spot here, so no need to worry about him. There’s also Nathan, who would almost be classified as one of those generic nobodies from some casual game no one cares for. Only thing is that he’s the lead character in Resistance: Fall of Sony, which is the top selling PS3 game at 8 copies. Too bad GameFAQs doesn’t care for PS3 (yet) and Resistance, so we know Nathan is going to bomb. The most debate in this match comes from….and I can’t believe I’m saying this…L-Block vs. Laharl. Seriously, Laharl is so weak that we question his ability to take out a Tetris piece. He should have been done with his loss to Vyse. You don’t go anywhere if you lose to Vyse. Anyway, Laharl supporters are saying, “He’s an actual character. No one actually likes a Tetris block, and he won’t get enough joke votes to take second.” Well, as a person who has L-Block winning, and thought it was downright silly to take Matt the Mii to Round 2, I’m thinking that L-Block doesn’t even need to depend on joke votes for second. Stick with me here. Laharl has a small, yet devoted base to pull from, but that’s about it. Then we have Tetris, a game that everyone has played. L-Block has all those people to pull from. Of course, with Kirby being a fan favorite, a good chunk of its support is gone right there. Still, I believe that L-Block will get votes just because its Tetris, and people like Tetris. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Kirby > L-Block > Laharl > Nathan Moltar’s Prediction is: Kirby: 52% - L-Block: 22% - Laharl: 19% - Nathan: 7% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis Kirby is the obvious first-place here, and the other three characters (<_<) are such fodder that it's difficult to predict who will take second place. Nathan Hale is the flagship PS3 character, so it's a safe bet to assume he takes last place. That leaves it up to L-Block and Laharl, and I won't pretend to be objective here. I want Laharl to win so I can claim one of my favorite characters has a contest win under his belt. And I'm writing this match during Matt the Mii's collapse, so I don't think L-Block has the fad power going for it. Ulti's Prediction: Kirby [63.00%] Laharl [20.00%] L-Block [10.00%] Nathan [7.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis Kirby – 48% L-Block – 22% Laharl – 21% Nathan Hale – 9% Get a load of this fourpack of winners. This actually may be one of the worst matches of the first round, because who cares about any of these guys -- not me! |

But the fact that we’re going to get to see L-Block perform in a contest has some entertainment to it, even if the odds are it’s going to suck hard -- and that horrible
picture it got isn’t going to help matters. I’m not sure how many
people are actually taking the L-Block to win this match, but whoever
does clearly knows what’s up! Screw Laharl! I’m not sure what exactly to say about this match, though. Kirby’s got a good range here because his competition is horrific -- Laharl is fodder, L-Block is fodder and Nathan Hale might just be this contest’s Tanner. Still, it’s hard to see him doing anything like 60% here just because we’ve seen noble nine characters go up against some crappy competition and barely manage above 55%. Second place may seem up in the air, but I’d be pretty confident in saying that Laharl’s probably going to take it, even I’m not predicting it to happen! He’s got the hardcore fanbase backing him and he’s the most independent of all the characters here. I wouldn’t be too surprised if he took it pretty easy. But, uh, go go go L-Block!! Bracket: Kirby > L-Block Vote: L-Block Yoblazer’s Analysis Here's yet another match where the winner is clear as can be and any and all excitement will be generated by the two saps dueling it out for second. In this case, Kirby is the clear winner. He's an upper midcarder with some great performances under his belt, and he's up against three guaranteed turd-y fodder. Kirby's hapless lambs to the slaughter are the L-Block from Tetris, Disgaea's Laharl, and Nathan Hale from Resistance: Fall of Man, the PS3's launch killer app. Generally, staring in a launch killer app would mean nothing but good contest news, but such isn't really the case for Nathan Hale. His game may be popular with people who've played it, but it's on the PS3, which automatically means that a vast, vast majority of the site hasn't even touched it. That, added with the fact that he's very generic and has a bland character design, and you have a guy who's destined to be one of the weakest entrants in the entire bracket. Maybe your game should have been released for the PS2, Nathan. >_> The Resistance guy will finish in a distant fourth, Kirby will finish in a distant first, so L-Block and Laharl will battle it out to see who gets to be the top piece of bologna in this weird sandwich (hehehehoho). I have L-Block in my bracket and was feeling very good about it at the start of the contest, but my faith has slowly dwindled. The only three non-Pokemon joke characters (Midgar Zolom, CATS, and Matt) have universally bombed, and that doesn't spell good news for our angular friend. True, his potential is greater than that of Laharl's, but the RPG star already has a guaranteed voting block of niche fans who will give him support. We're not sure if the same can be said of the block. Regardless, I'll stick with my bracket. Despite his niche fanbase, Laharl is still an extremely weak character, and the only time we've seen him was in a 2004 match with 68,000 total votes. How is he going to perform when that number is almost doubled? We have no idea, but I doubt it will be stellar. Also, unlike some of the other joke characters, I'm just hoping that people will appreciate the sheer audacity of ZANINESS of a Tetris Block in the contest (appreciate it enough to vote for it, that is!). God, I'd feel so much better about this if L-Block's picture didn't suck so much. I have no idea how you pulled it off, Bacon, but... uhh... why? Kirby - 50% L-Block - 22% Laharl - 20% Nathan Hale - 8% Lopen’s Analysis Kirby Kirby Kirby he's the star of the show! More than you think he's got maximum pink... Kirby Ki-- What was I doing? Oh, okay. Analysis. Hum Kirby's theme song, even vote for him, but think not of Kirby right now. He wins handily. |

Now Nathan Hale, generic looking star of a prestigious PS3 exclusive Res-- HAHAHAHA! PS3 exclusive. Too good. *kicks Nathan Hale out of the write-up and the match* So what we've got is the cult Laharl vs the joke L-Block. They shall fight L to L, the basis of all combat. Alright... really, it's a damn L-Block. It's kinda funny to see lying around... and at least it won't get anti-voted like that damned S/Z-Block would... but who's gonna vote for it? Like Matt the Mii, I don't think most people will appreciate the joke that much... though it should outdo Matt at least. Also like Matt the Mii, I don't think people will vote for it based on it being the embodiment of Tetris. Laharl has a small fanbase, but it's there. 27% on Yoshi is weak, but this four pack isn't much stronger than Yoshi alone. And I don't think they'll abandon Laharl too easily, either, his fans. Laharl should break 20% in this pretty easily, which is more than I can say for the other two. Lopen's prediction: Kirby - 55.05% Laharl - 22.97% L-Block - 18.88% Nathan Hale - 3.10% Karma Hunter’s Analysis ...oh boy. Time for one of the weakest threepacks in the contest... and seeing what we've seen so far, that's pretty crazy. Kirby </not affiliated with said threepack> Kirby had an alright 2006, though it was nothing like his 2005 run that had people putting him up with the near-elites. Going out to two Mario characters in two contests has been tough, but Kirby continues to be a force in these things and he could go far this year. How hardcore *is* that puff of fluff's fanbase...? L-Block When a damn block from Tetris gets support in a match, you know something's gone horribly wrong. Know what Tetris is? Ever see the "L" shape in that game? That's all you need to know, then - it's a joke, and it is on that (and, uh, Tetris) alone that its hopes of moving along with Kirby rest. Laharl The guy who got 60-40'd by Vyse. Laharl is about as weak as they come, though he's been something of a semi-mainstay thanks to constantly getting nominated for this thing by the hardcore as HELL Disgaea fanbase. 40% on Vyse, 27% on Yoshi... he's got a good chance here. Just depends on exactly how many people are gonna vote for the guy in this situation... Nathan Hale A true American hero... no, wait, that's the REAL Nathan Hale, who might do better in this guy's place (okay, a bit of exaggeration there - maybe). Forgettable star of the PS3 shooter Resistance: Fall of Man (I think?), he's a generic, unrecognizable FPS hero that should suffer from Gordon Freeman syndrome on an infinitely less popular game on an infinitely less popular platform. He'll get some hardcore PS3 votes, but he still has a chance to look *really* bad. ...his picture looks pretty badass, for what it's worth. Kirby wins. Aside from that, I took L-Block here - and was feeling pretty good about it right up until the match picture. Will... people recognize that as being from Tetris? Maybe, but I'd feel a lot better with a screencap or something. If people don't get the joke, make the connection that L-Block = Tetris... well, worst case scenario is it loses to Nathan Hale. Betting on that not happening though. Sorry Laharl, but the damn block has my pick here. Karma Hunter's Vote: ...Kirby. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Kirby with 55%, L-Block with 19%, Laharl with 17%, Nathan Hale with 9% I'm betting on this one being close for second, for what it's worth. Nathan won't look like uber-fodder thanks to PS3 loyalty (however small, *someone* keeps answering that first option on the PS3 polls), and Kirby gets the highest non-Noble percentage by far. Upset Prediction: 45% Aside from the picture...? IT'S GODDAMN L-BLOCK. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN |

Transience’s Analysis you... want me to analyze a puffball, a block, a generic guy nobody's heard of and a cult rpg character? this is such a damn weird fourpack. Kirby has to dominate this thing. it's.. maybe Kirby anti-votes will be higher than Kirby votes. this pack is just such a joke. let's start with the Block. the L-Block is my favourite of the joke entrants this year. as long as the picture is good, every person in the world should recognize it. when your competition is a silly looking cult rpg character and a guy like Nathan Hale, I like your chances. Laharl's got the whole dedicated fanbase thing, but how big is it? can it get 20%? that might be what he needs. Nathan Hale.. I know most people are looking for him to utterly bomb because of lol PS3, but I don't think so. the PS3 userbase might be small, but I'd think they'd support their guy like the xbox community does Master Chief. if enough people recognize him, maybe he has a chance - probably not though. so yeah, give me the Block. I don't have much confidence, but at least everyone can be like "whoa, it's a damn tetris block! awesome!" that's worth far more than the bad character design of Laharl or the generic dude that is Nathan Hale. what the hell is this balls, blocks, Hale and Laharl who designed this transience's prediction: Kirby with 54.68%, L-Block with 23.56%, Laharl with 15.31%, Nathan Hale with 6.45% Crew Consensus: In a bit of a twist, the Crew is backing L-Block going on to Round 2 with Kirby in a 4-3 split. |

I think a Goomba could beat a Metroid Oh it is ON! Imagine this as the final with 6 to 8 user-made match pics. EPIX. What would be the Zelda entrant? Octorok? Moblin? Keese? Stalfos? Or are we not limiting it to one-per-series, so that Koopa Troopa can make it in too? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Shouldn't limit it to one per series, though a cap is probably necessary. What common enemies could Final Fantasy throw into the mix? --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

We definitely need to make a bracket. Eight Pack of Excellence Metroid Motobug (Sonic) Goomba Zombie (Resident Evil) Cactuar Koopa Troopa Octorok Slime --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

I'm actually feeling pretty good about Laharl right now, simply because of the pic. I mean seriously...WTF at that pick. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

Sadly, Slime would be fodder. I've never heard of Motobug. And Zombie would show surprising strength I think. But not for reasons related to the "spirit" of the contest (nostalgia and mascots, etc.). --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I would like to see a match pic of a Next-Generation Special Forces
soldier from MGS following a trail of slime around a corner, complete
with "!!!" From our end of the pic, though, we can see that around the corner waits a gigantic DQ Slime. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I'd say Metroid takes that becuase he's got the name of the game. And they're much more respectable than a goomba. Though in a contest like that, Zergling takes the whole thing easy. --- If you fail at life you try suicide. If you fail at suicide, what's next? Failing at poetry... |
