...why's everyone so confident in Wario getting last place? It's possible, but I'm thinking MK will lay claim to that title.

Psh don't worry about them, Fox, I still love you both for Smash and the good ole days when they actually let you fly around in space and shoot things without gimmicks. I guess Fox getting 25% would be great, anything over 20% is good enough. And really, I don't care about Big Boss, it'd just be another amazing upset that NOBODY in the front took.

paraboxx' Worthless Writeups: Sephiroth / Meta-Knight / Fox / Wario

Sephiroth - Scored less than Solid Snake against two lower-tier Nintendites and CATS. Not exactly earth-shattering, given his history. Still better than most by a bunch, though, so I'm not predicting his doom just yet.

Meta-Knight - It's good to see that even for newbies like me, there are still some old-school characters with untapped potential in these contests. That said, SFFing Peach is not the most impressive of accomplishments...and, since I'm one of the few here who can name himself an actual fan of Peach, I was even less happy about it.

Fox - I wasn't shocked to see Fox beat Wario, given that Wario's the only big-name Nintendo character I can think of offhand to show up in even fewer contests than Fox. I was shocked to see Fox demolish Wario, however. Guess that 25% on Cloud wasn't a fluke after all.

Wario - As I said, I'm a fan of Peach. She's probably my favorite Mario character, in fact...but Wario's a close second. ...yeah. This half of this division is not a happy place for me.

Analysis: What is there to say? Aside from *****ing and moaning, that is. I wouldn't be that shocked to see Fox near Sub-Zero levels here, given how much of the Nintendo vote he's going to be getting. I'll cheer on the Meta-Knight upset as much as anybody else, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Prediction - Sephiroth 50, Fox 26, Meta-Knight 14, Wario 10

...why's everyone so confident in Wario getting last place? It's possible, but I'm thinking MK will lay claim to that title.

I know. That's been bugging me. I went ahead with it too... but I'd definitely take Wario over Peach, and I don't see why Wario would get significantly SFFed more than Meta Knight by Fox.

I don't know if there's something I'm missing or what... oh well

Meta-Knight actually has a fanbase, even if it's small. Wario has.. like, Haste.

I was in no way confident in Wario getting last. I was kinda surprised that almost everyone assumes Peach > Wario. I think Wario's stronger. Not by that much, though, so MK might win anyway.

paraboxx | Posted 10/8/2007 8:37:56 PM | message detail
Haha, I forgot the little percent signs this time. Maybe I should make myself a template?

And getting back to the Big Boss pic thing for a second...I can see what people are worked up about now, at least. And I'll concede that it will probably make some difference...but I'm still skeptical it's going to be a big one.

And if it is...we have got to get an angel pic for Kefka next time around.
Lopen | Posted 10/8/2007 8:38:12 PM | message detail
And I love that Big Boss picture, by the way. Big Boss > Mario believe.

If Big Boss loses to Magus he has absolutely no excuse. The difference could and should be phenomenal. Naked Snake is the second strongest entity MGS has produced by a ridiculous, indisputable margin. Add in the format, and Big Boss simply will never have this kind of a chance again.

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

Wario will get last because he's a fatass sack of crap.

And that's my completely unbiased two cents on the matter.
