So Nightmare/Snake one on one is about a 60/30 split? He's a solid midcarder at this point, considering Snake has been getting beastly these past few years.

I think Kratos Aurion should be the new fodder line. He's around 20% on BL.

That's exactly who I was thinking of myself.

Yeah, if Vyse is going to suck that badly may as well make it interesting and root for a Rayman upset

I wonder to what degree Kilik or Cervantes or Raphael could match this. I really can't see them being that much weaker than Nightmare, unless I'm more out of touch with the SC fanbase than I thought (although I suppose this match points to that).

I doubt they could come all that close to Nightmare. Nightmare should easily be the standard-bearer for that series when it comes to these contests. The rest would probably be outright fodder or borderline fodder, really.

I'm not in touch with the fanbase either, but Nightmare is so much the type of character who does well in these contests than anyone else from that series. (other than Link obviously...)

Marcus Fenix
Arthas Menethil
Meta Knight
Mewtwo
Pit
L-Block
Nightmare


Why Pit? He'd just be another high fodder/low midcarder Smash character. Nominate Diddy Kong instead, because he at least has a popular series behind him. Hell, I'd expect Diddy to be just a notch under DK.

Nightmare is to Soul Calibur as Kefka is to Final Fantasy 6. Ensemble cast with no main character, and a villain that really stands out in the games.

God Vyse sucks so much.

And I don't see Mitsurugi doing well at all. Cervantes maybe, but he's a second tier villain in the series.

The only SC characters I think would be somewhere between Nightmare & Ivy are Kilik, Siegfried, and maybe Taki (ninja+TJF=win?) Everyone else, meh!

I figured Raphael might be one of the decent SC characters just because he is pretty popular in the game and a lot of people play him.

Vyse is doing pretty abysmal here. I thought he'd get 14%, but he's looking to finish well under 12% it seems.

What BT said. He's just a badass that got popular like Scorpion and Sub-Zero. He's got a recognizable and memorable design, with what the eyeball in the sword and whatnot what have you. None of the other SC characters are that distinguished. Maybe Yoshimitsu.

What's this everyone stuff? Did a *majority* even expect him to bomb?

I know this was a while back, but I just saw it now.

I remember a LOT of people in here saying that Nightmare would be a bomb, wasn't worth nominating him, high fodder, etc.

Especially after Ivy got rocked. I remember them because of how bad they hurt!

Does Vyse have a decent day vote?

If not... is Rayman making a comeback for third all that unlikely?

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Man, Snake just continues to look unstoppable. Like he could take on any non-Clinkeroth competition...but then he loses soundly to Samus last year....it just...boggles the mind...

Looks like the master is back. I nailed this match easier than a drunken girl at a frat party. Tomorrow I think we all agree Ryu H. > Riku. If not, you're not good at predciting contests. Riku has to split his votes with Roxas, and yes, Haseo.

Needless to say, after witnessing him in the Battle Royale last year, I'd take Snake over Samus in any match this format. Even if the other two characters were Agent J and Nathan Hale.

I think Hayabusa winning makes the most sense, but it's not a lock.

Others were still confident in Riku though, because they said Roxas would be worthless. But looking at that picture...I dunno. Seems even moreso like Hayabusa's match to lose to me now.
