Mega Man > Samus does seem really likely now.

The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar
Karma Hunter | Posted 10/4/2007 9:12:39 PM | message detail
Yeah, Mega Man should be good to finish pretty high here. Though I think you have to assume there's potential SFF here (compare how he'll finish here to freakin' Arthas/Diablo/KOS-MOS), it's impressive nonetheless.
---
Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/4/2007 9:13:05 PM | message detail
Get this MM > Samus crap outta here.

If you're amazed by this, you'll be floored when you see what my girl Samus does tomorrow!

Yeah, you see? It only took three or four minutes for Yoshi to drop like a rock.

It's a damn good thing I didn't say "lol Yoshi SFF". Boy, would that have been embarrassing.
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/4/2007 9:13:21 PM | message detail
Even if this is SFF...well, being good with SFF is half your power in this contest.

I think Sub-Zero > Squalll is more likely than Squall > Sonic.

This happened in 2k5, where Mega Man uber impressed and Sonic bombed but they ended up even. It happened again when everyone was calling for Mega Man's head and Sonic got his first win over a NNer, and they turned out equal. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again.

I don't know why people thought Mega could SFF Yoshi but not Knuckles. This isn't the Genesis/SNES war days, Sonic and Mario ain't all that seperate anymore. Heck they're even going to the Olympics together or something.

I want him in Brawl just for his potential contest strength. =D

gah, I knew people would start talking MM up. he's in a SFF match that benefits him, of course he's going to look good. that's not to say he can't beat Samus -- he certainly can -- but don't judge it based on this match.

Meh, two other third party characters are going to be in

Since when was this confirmed? As much as I've EVER heard, it's never been mentioned as more than a 'possibility'...

I have Mega Man > Samus... and then Samus advancing the next round. I guess I was thinking that Yoshi would hurt Samus worse than Bowser in this format, plus the Cloud factor.

tranny, it wouldn't be the stats topic if he didn't. Besides, give us MM lovers a break! He hasn't impressed in 2 years.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/4/2007 9:14:52 PM | message detail
MM, Sonic and Bomberman are probably the front runners for getting in Smash. Though I can see Sonic and Bomberman before MM due to how much Sega and Hudson have been contributing to the VC and Nintendo in general. Then again, MM has done more for Nintendo than Solid Snake ever did...

I clearly remember Sakurai saying at one point that we'd be seeing two or three other third party characters (or maybe it was two or three including Snake?). But it might've been on the old site...probably around the time of those polls he did about third party characters (in which Sora dominated).

Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need.
Karma Hunter | Posted 10/4/2007 9:17:00 PM | message detail
Even if this is SFF...well, being good with SFF is half your power in this contest.

Mega Man > Samus began as *my* upset, and Lord help me I have Mega Man > Samus in my bracket... but this shouldn't be indication of much. Getting SFF on lower-tier Ninty characters is different from Samus... as incapable of SFF as she is. Of course, Yoshi being there complicates matters...

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/4/2007 9:17:04 PM | message detail
Yeah, Yoshi/Knux and MM/those 2 SFF confirmed. It makes sense though when you think about it. All popular platforming characters with some tie to Nintendo.

I didn't consider MM > Samus next round because I had Knux there, but I do have MM advancing with Cloud due to Bowser.

Now watch Auron advance there and Samus and MM advance leaving Cloud behind.

I'm willing to call Mega Man the favorite, but I sure wouldn't bet on it. We have no idea how Samus would do in his place.

You remember incorrectly, or at least differently than me, because I've seen Sakurai discuss it only once - and mused about it as a possibility, mostly in negating speculation that SSBB would be filled with tons of third-party entrants.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.
transience | Posted 10/4/2007 9:20:44 PM | message detail
I don't even think this is impressive - it's more like expected. MM's best time is right now too, and he's going to suffer when Yoshi and Knuckles get going. MM loves disappointing like that, he's a 2-4 hour guy.

so yeah take that mega man fanboys

It's still pretty early in the match, but I wonder if this could turn out to be the first indication that SFF can, indeed, beat out LFF and benefit the stronger character?

Well, if you think about it, Yoshi would have to hurt Samus quite a bit more than Mega Man in order for it to happen. I'l wait to see how she does tomorrow before making any BOLD calls.

I just wanna see MM advance for the potential of messing up Sephiroth's **** in round 5.

Yesmar | Posted 10/4/2007 9:22:38 PM | message detail
If Sonic's gonna be in Brawl, I doubt that Nintendo would spill the beans before the game's released. They would probably want everyone to be surprised when they find him themselves.

Or they take the ****ing awesome route and put him and Tails in, but make them so hard to find that it will take until the April edition of EGM to reveal them.

If there wasn't LFF here, KOS-MOS would be under 10%. The only reason it seem to be helping MM is because 2 of his opponents are suffering while the third is really weak.
