uhhh Peach v. Wario post-Brawl gogogo --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

Someday I know Fox will get in a match that doesn't involve SFF or
Clinkeroth, and that day he will shine!! Oh but considering Wario
gained all night I'd be surprised if he drops below 10% in the last

Big Boss has transformed into the clear-cut favorite for this match.
Few people seem to have faith in Magus here. Hopefully that means we're
in store for another surprise and Magus can pull it out (I've never
played a Metal Gear game so I have no reason to root for Naked Snake). The biggest hope for Magus might be that the pic factor impact is diluted here, because there are more characters per picture. Also, the pic layout for this round sucks. But Big Boss does deserve to be favored here, though a Magus victory shouldn't be shocking. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'm not sure what to make of Magus right now. I'd call him a regular
midcarder at this point, maybe Rikku level. Big Boss is clearly below
that; "Naked Snake" is probably above it. (how high? who knows..
Luigi?) Naked Boss (*shudder*) is somewhere in the middle. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |

Round 2- Division 3 Semifinal B Previous Matches: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2873 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2874 Characters Involved: Mario The plumber returns after SFFing the utter crap out of Pac-Man. Will he be able to partake in the Noble Nine pissing match of getting over 50%? Perhaps, but I doubt it. Big Boss A seemingly impressive match last round that I personally feel was strongly influenced by Mario/Pac SFF. The only argument for him advancing here is his Naked Snake match picture, and Magus disappointing last round. Magus Speaking of which, here we have the Character Battles' fallen one. Once a force that achieved 35% on Link, he now struggles to break 30% on Bomberman Phoenix Wright and Crash Bandicoot. Phoenix Wright He required one of the most illigitimate rallys of all time to beat out Bomberman. He won't be doing much after the first 10 minutes here. Predictions: A complete lock pre-contest, this match has become somewhat debated, with all the factors seemingly lining up for Big Boss to beat out Magus. Chief among these factors is the picture, where for the first time Big Boss will be getting Naked Snake, basically Solid Snake with an eyepatch. While I think this picture will help, I can't help but feel BB was massively overrated by the Mario/Pac-Man SFF last round. Alarm bells should have went off when he scored higher in that fourpack than he did against Auron alone. Secondly, Magus must have been at least slightly underrated by the extreme closeness of the Bomberman/Phoenix rivalry. A lot of people are banking on this crazy upset, and given what we've seen so far in this contest, it's entirely possible, but I just can't see Magus having fallen that far. TuRtLe's Prediction: Mario 45%, Magus 23%, Big Boss 18%, Phoenix 14% TuRtLe's Bracket: Mario > Magus TuRtLe's Vote: Mario TuRtLe ~~~ 119/160 in the contest. Next pick: Sephiroth > Fax BlAcK TuRtLe.

Division 3: Round 2 - Match 38 – Mario vs. Big Boss vs. Magus vs. Phoenix Wright Moltar’s Analysis Mario Round 1 – 57.91% vs. Big Boss, Pac-Man and Wander Mario takes care of business like usual. Big Boss Round 1 – 23.00% vs. Mario, Pac-Man and Wander Thanks to Pac-Man getting stomped, Big Boss easily gets through. Magus Round 1 – 30.87% vs. Phoenix, Bomberman and Crash ….What the hell happened to you? Phoenix Round 1 – 23.96% vs. Magus, Bomberman and Crash Squeaks past Bomberman to get to Round 2. Interesting how most of the tough Round 2 matches turn up to be easier than expected, while the easier ones get tougher. Of course, Mario has no problems here. He won’t benefit like he did Round 1, but he still will perform well against these weak guys. Before, Magus was a lock to take second. I mean, 35% on Link, beat Ganondorf, this guy isn’t a joke! But then he loses to Knuckles, and now 30% against a group with Phoenix “I lost to Freeman” Wright, Bombaman and Crash “Cool 10 years ago” Bandicoot? what Now if Magus can only pull that against crap competition, how does he do with Mario and Big Boss instead of Bomberman and Crash? Well, we better hope he holds up damn well, because right now, Big Boss and Phoenix aren’t looking that bad for the upset. Phoenix shouldn’t fall too hard from last round, thanks to his dedicated group of voters. Big Boss should also hold up well, as we’ve already seen him perform in relation to Mario. Magus is the big question mark here. Does he lose enough support to fall below either Big Boss or Phoenix? I’m going to guess no, but they’re going to come pretty close. At least close enough to give us a scare for a while. *looks at match pic* oh wate i mess up Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mario > Magus Moltar’s Prediction is: Mario: 45% - Big Boss: 22% - Magus: 19% - Phoenix: 14% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis I was pretty much convinced that Mario > Magus was a lock here, but then I saw Big Boss's picture. People are going to vote for that thing based on it looking EXACTLY like Snake, and Magus is in some trouble. Remember, he didn't exactly have the best first round. He needed 30 minutes to take first place from Phoenix, then finished up with a very low vote total for a first place character in this format. If the big upset happens here, people will likely see it coming rather than the Knuckles fiasco. All I'm convinced of now is that Mario comes in first place Phoenix comes in last place, which is no lock in and of itself. Those Phoenix fans will be ready for this. Ulti's Prediction: Mario [51.00%] Big Boss [20.00%] Magus [19.00%] Phoenix Wright [10.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis UPSET TIME, BABY, BELIEVE! Big Boss is looking to make a big upset here after an impressive show against Mario last round, and a pic from Portable Ops that makes him look near-identical to Snake. There’s always been some speculation thrown around that Big Boss could be a pretty big force if he would ever get a “Naked Snake” pic, and now is as golden an opportunity as any -- MGS is performing great in this format and his competition for second looked vulnerable in round 1. Magus isn’t out of it by any means, though. As much flak he gets lately, he’s still miles stronger than either Big Boss or Phoenix, make no mistake. Despite not being the noble nine breaker he was hyped to be, he’s still got plenty of strength to handle these guys. If he wins this match with ease, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. |

| As for Phoenix Wright, he’s going to have his time
at the start of the poll. Depending on how many people jump onto his
bandwagon after he advanced last round, he may have a shot at holding
the lead for a little bit, and second place for even longer. Once we
start hitting the night vote, though, I expect him to start falling
apart to Big Boss and Magus, if he hasn’t already. The hardcore fanbases for Big Boss, Magus and Phoenix to be out in full force for this match, too -- and that means Mario’s going to feel the hurt, percentage-wise. I have no idea where most people are pegging Mario for tomorrow, but it’s probably high. In all likelihood, this will turn into another Samus-esque show where Mario goes and exceeds most people’s expectations, but I’ll take my chances with something low here! With that said, I give you an excerpt from the Chrono Trigger retranslation: Ah, Magus-sama~ Magus-sama~ Shining eyes, windblown hair Higher than mountains, deeper than seas However sunny and lonely the day, If we think of you, we’re not afraid If you’re there, we’re fine Ah, Magus-sama~ Magus-sama~ Our savior Magus-sama~ (Deeep -- win magus win) Mario – 40% Big Boss – 23% Magus – 22% Phoenix Wright – 15% Bracket: Mario > Magus Vote: Big Boss Yoblazer’s Analysis What a thrill... With darkness and silence through the night What a thrill... I'm searching and I'll melt into you What a fear in my heart But you're so supreme! I'd give my life Not for honour, but for you! [Snake Eater] In my time there'll be no one else Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater! Someday you go through the rain And someday, you feed on a tree frog This ordeal, the trial to survive For the day we see new light! I'd give my life Not for honour, but for you! [Snake Eater] In my time there'll be no one else Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater] I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater! I am still in a dream, SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE EEEEAAAAATEEERRRR!!!!!!!!! [Snake Eater] Mario - 42% Big Boss - 23% Magus - 20% Phoenix Wright - 15% Lopen’s Analysis Hey, I'd hate to start another match with a shout out to the picture but OH MY GAWD NAKED SNAKE. Once again, the contest is keepin it real with messages endorsing shroom munching Seems those performance enchancing Russian glowcaps have truly taken their effect now. With this power, he is unstoppable. He'll keep going and going and going... better than any batteries! What, you don't think so? Think of a battery like a bunny. *Big Boss CQCs the a random pink bunny* Big Boss: Speak! Bunny of my own design that happens to be wielding a drum: *BUMF, BUMF, BUMF, BUMF* Big Boss: Answer me! Totally original bunny that happens to be pink: *BUMF, BUMF, BUMF, BUMF* Bass drums, they go bumf. Trust me! Big Boss got pissed right about here. Now I'm not gonna say he killed the bunny, that would be savage and totally mean to bunnies. Now he might've tranquilized it to eat later. Might have. We can't really say. What does all this mean? Well think of Phoenix Wright and Magus like pink bunnies with drums. One of the pink bunnies like to point dramatically and slam its drum really hard from time to time, one is too busy talking about the black wind howling to get anywhere in this match. |

Now, bunny related rambling aside... if I was absolutely certain
that Big Boss would get to round 2, I was going to take this upset and
gamble that Big Boss would get a picture like this and take him for the
win here. But I didn't. But I'm well prepared to lose four points here.
Do I think he'll be an absolute beast? No, not really. Crazy picture
powahs or not, the name still says Big Boss. Does he need to be? No,
not really. Frankly, Magus looked like crap last round, and I have my
doubts that he'll even outdo Phoenix Wright. In fact, I'm going to
gamble that he doesn't now that we have two people stronger
than Magus here. Both their votes will be siphoned, but I think PW has
the hardcore fanbase that'll keep him from losing terribly more than he
did last match. Yeap. Magus for last. Hahaha... HAHAHA. Lopen's Prediction: Mushroom munchin Mario - 41.55% Glowcap munchin Big Boss - 23.45% Phoenix Wright - 17.86% (let's see you hold first over Mario for the first update! Believe) Magus - 17.14% (Of course there's always the chance Big Boss isn't too crazy powerful and you win anyway. We'll see!) Karma Hunter’s Analysis Well, today's match seems to be pretty dull (outside of the fact that it houses the most awesomeness contained in one pack so far), so there doesn't seem to be much to talk about. Mario wins, and HOLD IT! http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/cb6/cb6-38.jpg WARNING eRROR pARSING mEMCACHE WARNING WALL OF TEXT INCOMING WARNING PREPARE FOR THE VOID WARNING OBJECTION! AND SUCH ... ... ... /reboot /run program aww yeah Mario Placing Last Round: 1st, 57.91% of the vote The icon of video gaming is back on his Power Trip to his inevitable showdown with Sephiroth. After what GameFAQs' favorite bishie is pulling today, though, it's gonna take a miracle and one hell of a performance to put him back in the running. And frankly the former seems more likely than the latter, what with... Big Boss Placing Last Round: 2nd, 23.00% of the vote Perhaps there are some that do not understand Big Boss, passing over him as perceived bottom-feeder fodder that only squeaked through last round due to Mario/Pac-Man SFF. These people are Satanists. For particular... reasons, let's return to Big Boss after examining the rest of his competition. Magus Placing Last Round: 1st, 30.87% of the vote what in the blue hell happened here Chrono Trigger was supposed to be beastly in this format. Magus, THE fan-favorite of Chrono Trigger, was supposed to be even more dominating. Well, Crono couldn't break 50% on his pack of chumps. Frog needed blatant cheating to overcome friggin' Axel and got blown the hell out by Scorpion. And Magus? Magus? Unable to break 31% against Phoenix Wright, Bomberman, and Crash Bandicoot. Losing to Phoenix Wright for 25 minutes. And speaking of Phoenix, when you just take their votes and compare them directly? Magus wins with just over a 56% margin. Y'know... significantly worse than Gordon Freeman, in other words. And yet he still looked to be safe. With such a weak pack, how could he be denied his first trip to Round 3 in four years? Well... PHOENIX WRIGHT Placing Last Round: 2nd, 23.96% The Guru favorite to advance in his pack last round, but you'd never know it looking at the board. |

Phoenix Wright is a phenomenon. A hero of the board, the one man to end GFNW (heck, Gordon managed to lose to Duke Nukem
this year), he who shares with L-Block the most dominant Power Hour in
these contests. With all that (and a niche/cult fanbase of his
adventure games), Phoenix managed to stage the impossible and... beat Bomberman. Okay, so he's weak, and it likely took a heaping dose of shenanigans to get PW to pull through all the way. But he's here! And you've even got to give him a small shot at upsetting here - sure, he was 7% lower than Magus last round, but with freaking Mario there and Magus perhaps being disproportionately hurt by him as compared to Phoenix, his chances looked slim but possible. And he's got MY vote! But... um... well... Oh, yeah! Him. BIG ****ING BOSS Most people do not primarily know Big Boss by the name 'Big Boss'. To most, he goes by a much more recognizable name: Snake. Naked Snake, to be specific. The protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Naked Snake is perhaps THE most important figure in all of MGS. But don't take my word for it, just look at the words from THIS brilliant spokesman's essay!: http://www.freewebs.com/mmxcalibur/bigboss.htm <_< For those not interested in loquacious awesomeness, suffice to say that Big Boss - Naked Snake - produced a few clones. One being SOLID SNAKE, star of 2k6, slayer of Sephiroth, and a part of the as of yet untouchable Noble Nine. It might also interest you that as far as physical designs go, Solid and his father are virtually identical. 'Cept Naked sports a cool eyepatch. :D Up to now, however, Big Boss has always been stuck with pictures representing him as an old man - the form where he appeared in such juggernauts of games as Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (the latter not even being released in the United States until just recently with MGS3: Subsistence). Considering that Naked Snake is called Big Boss very few times in MGS3, where he gets most of his strength, it's hard for many casual voters to make the connection. Until http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/cb6/cb6-38.jpg, of course. Let's face it, MGS characters have shown to wildly fluctuate in the past based on pictures. They've got weird and almost downright unrecognizable melting official art, wacky sprites, and tend to get hit even in the most favorable circumstances. People have brought up Raiden's MGS4 picture as reasoning for his disappointing Fisher performance. Ocelot did as well on Nemesis as he did on Dr. Wily, and many believe the differences between his old man (Nemesis) and young (Wily) pictures played a huge factor in that. He looked like an unrecognizable blob against Pac-Man, and got upset. Are there people that dispute this picture factor? Of course! - and these are the same people who have constantly downplayed Snake's terrible sprite performances against Frog, Bowser, and Yoshi - who are all massively overrated in those respective years, of course. Still coincidences/flukes? WHY NOT!? - I still see people trying to justify that Yoshi performance as legit today (huzzah for this format!). The point is that the naysayers are the ones that never give MGS any credit in the first place (it attracts almost as much hate as love, is the not-so-well-kept secret here). Me, though? I give MGS credit whenever I can. And for balance here, I'm gonna give you my strictly partisan interpretation ^_^: |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/9/2007 7:48:56 PM | message detail |
| Big Boss wins. The doubters are ridiculous,
uncomprehending anti-fanboys who never vote for MGS in the first place,
and don't have the slightest grasp of how popular Naked Snake is. Among
the core fanbase, he outright challenges Solid Snake for dominance as
the most popular character (as the Solid series goes he stars in as
many games!). For those who haven't played MGS3/don't make the
connection, he serves as a Solid Snake proxy. This is the best picture
he could have ever hoped for, in the best situation he could have ever
hoped for. There's no excuse for him not to win tomorrow. And he WILL
win. Book it, bank it, take it to the pawn shop and ask for a weekly advance. And pick up MGS3: Subsistence with that paycheck while you're at it. Karma Hunter's Vote: PHOENIX WRIGHT YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PASSIONATE RELATIONSHIP HE AND I SHARE Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Big Boss with 55%, Mario with 25%, Phoenix Wright with 20%, Magus with 0% Pretty obvious, I think. NEXT ...okay, fine. Karma Hunter's Much More BORING Yet Slightly More Realistic Prediction: Mario with 42.5%, Big Boss with 25%, Magus with 17%, Phoenix Wright with 15.5% I will hurt you Upset Probability: 0% We give no quarter. We offer no surrender. Life's End... Beautiful, isn't it? Where did you learn it? From my mentor. That's one of the rules of being a lawyer my mentor taught me! You're a wonderful man... Kill me... The only time a man can cry is when it's all over. Transience’s Analysis this is one of my most anticipated matches of all time. has there ever been a more unpredictable match? Big Boss NAKED. SNAKE. this guy's range is absolutely ludicrous right now. based on 2k5 stats, Big Boss is fodder. based on his first match, Big Boss looked like a decent midcarder, putting up almost as much against Mario, Pac Man and Wander as he did Auron. this led some people to theorize that maybe Big Boss was SFFed by Auron -- he did *that* well. now add in Naked Snake. what happens here? god only knows. this might be the single greatest "picture advantage" we've ever seen -- I mean, there were talks of Big Boss > Auron and Ganondorf in 2005 based SOLELY on the idea of him getting a Naked Snake picture. it's very possible that he functions as a "Snake proxy" and absolutely destroys the competition. the only time this has ever happened to my knowledge was in 2003, when Shadow acted as a Sonic proxy to Mario and picked up a miraculous 45% of the vote. after seeing his performance yesterday, that has to be one of the great flukes of all time. anyway, I believe that Naked Snake is by FAR the second strongest Metal Gear Solid character. it shouldn't even be close. the question is if the name "Big Boss" will throw people off or not. but, I mean, look at that picture. that's Solid goddamn Snake. he's even pointing at you. that has to scare you if you don't have Big Boss in your bracket, and quite honestly, the only reason you would pick Big Boss is if he got a Naked Snake picture. well, here it is. Mario Mario would probably win this match even if he was against Solid Snake. he's by far the most unique character here, he oozes iconicness and mainstream appeal while the other three are niche characters with different fanbases. his percentage here is utterly unpredictable though, mostly due to his competition. |

Magus once touted as a Noble Nine killer thanks to him getting a higher percentage on Link than Sonic got on Cloud, Magus has been exposed time and again as maybe the most overrated character in contest history. his loss to Knuckles in 2005 is arguably the biggest board upset of all time and he couldn't even manage 30% on Bomberman, Phoenix Wright and Crash Bandicoot. from 35% on Link to 29% on two third-rate icons and the biggest cult character in contest history -- not very encouraging. oh, and he's up against NAKED SNAKE. as if he needed more bad luck. Phoenix Wright the single greatest character to watch in a contest. the Phoenix Wright Power Hour last round was easily my favourite moment in this contest, if not contest history (SUCK IT MAGUS). Phoenix Wright might just have the most dedicated fans of any character in this contest. if this is true, he could very well get 20% again, and with Mario in the poll to suck up a ton of votes, who knows? maybe that'll be enough. it's highly, highly unlikely though. but still, he's the ultimate underdog and his first 60 minutes is an absolute treat to watch. can he hold the lead over friggin' Mario? only time will tell there. so.. what happens here? hell if I know! it's tough to feel confident in Magus right now. 29% was just pathetic, one of the worst performances in round 1. I think Phoenix Wright hurts him in this format -- I bet most people who vote Phoenix would normally vote Magus. they just seem like two niche guys that would have similar fans to me. usually this would lead to Phoenix underperforming, but his fanbase is so dedicated that it's more like "rSFF". add in Naked Snake, Mario and that horrid picture and you've got a guy who could very well end up in fourth place. or he could come in second place easily, as he's the only character of the three who is definitely not fodder. who knows? Naked Snake throws a huge monkey wrench into this whole match. I'm going to back him here, but I feel like I'm overreacting to a stupid picture. that said, you can't look at that picture without saying "holy crap, that's Solid Snake." if this were the old Magus I pick him with confidence, but as it is, I'll go against my bracket and roll the dice with the sexiest bandwagon upset pick I can remember. I want to *really* roll the dice and pick Phoenix here, but I think some of his votes will be negated due to BRACKETS and due to people believing he doesn't have much of a chance. if Mario can get 45% or so in this match, who knows? that 20% could hold up. it's really, really unlikely though. WOO PHOENIX Naked Snake? ohhh crap Magus never gets a break a picture beats him transience's prediction: Mario with 37.88%, Big Boss with 24.34%, Magus with 22.51%, Phoenix Wright with 15.27% Guest’s Analysis - Luis_Sera89 AUGH at the last two days results. Maybe I should start having Link as my favourite character or something, then I’d never be let down by those silly GameFAQs voters! |

| But anyway, to the present, and potentially the
best match of Round 2 (HINT: Probably not) But regardless, it has
Phoenix in it, which is always better than nothing. Going into this
match, the big news is whether we can see an upset over Magus that
would eclipse Knuckles’ win, perhaps not in shock but certainly in
embarrassment, with this year’s contender being Big Boss. This coming
after Big Boss joined a host of MGS characters enjoying the format with
a fine second place behind Mario in Round 1, and Magus taking half an
hour to take the lead from Phoenix Wright,
on his way to a mighty 30% against such powerhouses as said lawyer,
Crash Bandicoot and Bomberman. To put that into perspective, Big Boss
managed a round 23% against Mario, Pac-Man and Wander. Admittedly, any
of the 7 in these 2 four packs beats Wander, and that was a mightily
SFFed Pac, but Mario remains no joke whatsoever, and surrendering 60%
of the vote to those vicious beats of the Character Battle setting like
Magus did, isn’t what a supposed high midcarder should be doing. And even disregarding pretty strong evidence like that, gasoline has been poured over this raging fire with the news that Big Boss has gotten the Naked Snake picture that’s deserted him in his last 2 matches. So who wins, Magus or Snake lite? I doubt I’m the only one going with the ‘upset’ here. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see the crew favour Big Boss over Magus here. As far as BB’s concerned “Everything’s coming up Milhouse!” for this match. An even belower-par Magus than could possibly have been expected so far this contest, no-one to leech votes, and it’s hard to see Magus gaining any more votes than he already had from Phoenix or Mario. In fact Mario might be doing his own number on Magus and do some siphoning of his own. That and the MGS fans are really out in force this year. Something tells me Magus is still going to eek one out, but the opportunitys too good to miss. Oh yeah, and apparently there’s two other people in this match. Mario will win, and comfortably at that. He wont quite be getting 58% again, but he’ll be pushing for 50. I’d say he’ll get around 47. Phoenix will likely lose a little support this time around. He wont be so madly rallied for in this match with last place almost a certainty, and he could potentially lose a little of his DS support to Mr. Nintendo there. I’ve got him pegged in the low teens, as I still wager that the majority of people who voted for him before will no doubt do so again. And for what its worth he’ll have the lead for a few minutes again. But this match, like so many others, is about the two duking it out for second, and silly though it may seem, I’ve got the picture swinging this one, and how. Naked Snake could be a whole different beast to Big Boss. For all I know I could be undershooting him by 10% or something! Who’d have thought that in that little period after a heavy loss to Auron? Mario – 47.1% Big Boss – 21.7% Magus – 18.2% Phoenix – 13% Crew Consensus: So Mario takes first and Big Boss is the favorite to advance over Magus. ... So Mario takes first and Big Boss is the favorite to advance over Magus. Big Boss is the favorite to advance over Magus. Big Boss to advance over Magus. Big Boss over Magus. what |

Fails with style! --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| be warned - it takes PW a while to get going, and
the first case is basically a throwaway. still fun, but you won't get a

even if you're right I still say you all fail on principle as do most of the voters not that I should really talk since I still haven't opened the copy of MGS3 I've had for almost two years... or maybe it was three... --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing.
