So I'm curious.... do you think Link has reached a point in popularity
where new games and the like don't boost him? Like, Phantom Hourglass
recently came out, and it doesn't seem to have given him any notable
boost. At least not yet it doesn't seem that way. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ "This topic is pretty hot and exciting to read." - LusterSoldier Arsenal FC: 8-0-2. Pts: 26. Position: 1st L5: W-W-W-W-D |

A minor game like Phantom Hourglass isn't going to do much for Link,
no. If a game is going to help him -- and Twilight Princess is already
a bit suspect -- it's going to need to be something huge. --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |

good. I should start it sometime. I have it sitting on top of my PS2

Brawl should help out all Nintendo (including Link) more than any of
his recent games. If you guys don't see your upset this year, you'll
have to wait a good three or more until that Final Fantasy VII remake
comes out, because this site is going to be playing Brawl for a long while. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Also, I'm one of three people with 313
points who isn't on the leaderboard. Seeing as how my Luigi > Master
Chief pick seems extremely unlikely, this is probably my last chance to
make it. Do you guys think anyone in the Top 50 might have taken a
Seph>Link or Link>Mario upset today? >_>_> --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Definitely, yoblazer. I guaranTEE at least 3 people on the leaderboard
have Link > Mario today. It was a pretty popular cult upset pick to
my knowledge. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ "This topic is pretty hot and exciting to read." - LusterSoldier Arsenal FC: 8-0-2. Pts: 26. Position: 1st L5: W-W-W-W-D |

Mario can do this good with Link in the poll, just think what Mr. L
will be bench pressing on Master Chump, that goth guy, and Pikarat. --- Should I start running now? |

I think Link boosted from TP -- it's just that he did so before the game came out. same for the other Zelda guys. this is why I don't think Snake will see a huge boost from Brawl -- he's already gotten it. --- "i go by statisticss put them all in an arena sepphroth="why arent your hair and mustache the same color?!"

None. Sonic. If anything, Sonic lost strength by being in Brawl now that he overlaps with a lot more characters. --- CB6 - 290/406; Oracle - 33rd m i doin the hochi thing rite |

I agree with you on Twilight Princess, but I think most would agree that was already fairly apparent. Don't know if you can translate that to Brawl though. However the thing about Brawl that I'm more concerned about, is the bazillion characters. Might dilute the impact a lot. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

>_> well, I think it due to the fact that it's been quite a while
since sonic has been in a game that has sold a ton, and will get highly
praised. The DS ones were good, but not that great, and didn't sell
much. Every game snake has nowadays gets praised and sells well. Sonic
also needs a more solid base fanbase which I think it will help on. --- Hi. Hello. Howdy. |

Again, Link received a massive boost from TP. Link (2006c) VS Link (2003c) Link has a strength of 56.33. Link has a strength of 50.00. Link wins with 55.62% of the vote! A win of 16,886 with 150,264 total votes cast. One game leading to a 6% boost is pretty incredible. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

The only way Brawl really helps Link is if he is a easy to pick and
dominate type like Kirby and 64 or Fox in Melee..or if he has a really
great frontlining role in the Subspace Emissary And Phantom didnt really boost Link cause everyone was hyped out after TP...yearly releases dont do much for character strength, look at MM...you have to make the game an event, like TP was last year or Halo 3 was this year --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

Oh, I know he didn't gain the boost suddenly - that's my point. He
gained so much from it before its release that he had nothing more to
gain afterwards. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

I figure Brawl will help Link in the same way that it will help every
other Nintendo character - by constantly keeping them on the voter's
mind. We already know this site has a hard-on for Brawl. If the
multiplayer is up to snuff (especially the Online), people will be
playing it for years. It will be the multiplayer game of choice, and
the game people always go back to in between other gaming romps. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From what I remember of the last few years, everyone was citing TP
as the reason for Link boosting. Has opinion changed since then? Oh, well, if you're talking about gaining that boost over a span of three years, then nevermind. I thought you were implying it all came last year, which is rather ridiculous. He looked like he boosted from the announcement in 2004 and then last year on the advent of TP. I'm doubtful of him being at the same level he was last year, though. --- "With each passing day, the world finds new and exciting ways to kill a man." |
