I feel extremely confident in Nightmare here. I won't say it's a lock because I'm not an arrogant tool, but if Vyse is ahead when I get home in a few hours, I'll be surprised.

Given the trends in this contest, I no longer have too much faith in Vyse. He's just not casual or badass <_<

Round 1- Division 6 Group C

Characters Involved:

Nightmare


Nomination rally winner, Nightmare looks primed to move to the next round. He would have to really suck in order to not advance, but given Ivy's performance last year, he should be safe.

Rayman

Battle Royale Day 4 --- Lost to Cloud, 29733 [19.64%] - 54057 [35.71%]


Once the ass end of the Noble Nine, Snake finally proved his mettle last year by getting over the hump and setting himself up to be closer to Samus/Mario than Mega Man/Sonic/Crono. He is also pretty much guarenteed to be in the final match this year, since he and Sonic are the only Noble Niners in the bottom half of the bracket, and the only other possible threat is Ganondorf.

Once the character used to seperate fodder from midcarders, Vyse really took a stumble in 2005. Why? Noone really knows. Some say that RPG SFF is the cause, others say it was Vyse dropping off due to higher votals. I personally don't buy the RPG SFF theory because he did fine against Cloud in 2k4.

Predictions:

Solid Snake is guarenteed to dominate, and Rayman is guarenteed to sucks. That leaves Vyse and Nightmare to battle for second place. Personally, I think that Vyse is nowhere near his 2k3/2k4 levels, and given Ivy's performance last year, I'd say Nightmare should have this one in the bag.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Snake: 55%, Nightmare 20%, Vyse 15%, Rayman 10%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Snake > Nightmare
TuRtLe's Vote: Snake

The fact that people would bracket vote anyone over Solid Snake makes me pretty damn sick. Nightmare can prove me wrong by staying in the mid-20's, but I doubt that'll happen.

There's no reason to expect Snake to do much better than this, IMO. Cloud, Link, Mario and Sephiroth are the only characters so far who did better than Snake is doing now, and his competition isn't any worse than theirs.
