Now, for probably my last kicks on this listing, I've tried to group
the characters by series (or at least similar characteristics). I've
averaged their individual scores together and given the series/groups
their rating based off of that. I'm only doing this for the
pure-GameFAQs listing because maybe this could be a loose idea of how
some of the series may or may not pick up in popularity in their coming
releases. To note: third-party = Solid/Sonic, newer one-rep = Samus/Falcon/Olimar, retro one-rep = Pit/ICs/ROB/G&W, and Mario spin-offs = Yoshi/Wario. The rest should be obvious. MATCH-UPS (212) - GameFAQs Series - Average Votes (reps in group) Kirby: 194 2/3 (3) Fire Emblem: 94 1/2 (2) third-party characters: 84 (2) Star Fox: 55 2/3 (3) Pokemon: 48 1/4 (4) Mother: 29 (2) newer one-rep series: 15 (3) retro one-rep series: -21 (4) Legend of Zelda: -27 1/2 (4) Super Mario Bros.: -118 1/2 (4) Donkey Kong: -156 (2) Mario spin-offs: -210 (2) TOP FIVE (143) - GameFAQs Series - Average Points (reps in group) Fire Emblem: 109 1/2 (2) third-party characters: 87 1/2 (2) Mother: 72 1/2 (2) Legend of Zelda: 71 (4) Pokemon: 66 (4) Star Fox: 63 (3) Kirby: 61 (3) newer one-rep series: 60 2/3 (3) retro one-rep series: 54 (4) Mario spin-offs: 44 1/2 (2) Super Mario Bros.: 31 (4) Donkey Kong: 30 (2) My quick thoughts: --> I would call the Kirby/FE/third-party characters the big winners for good exposure. The Kirby series decimated in the match-ups list and had two new characters for Brawl, the FE series looked to be the overall-winner with both lists considered, and Solid/Sonic weren't far behind FE while being new to Brawl on to of not being Nintendo-based... --> ...Kirby dominating like so isn't too surprising since Sakurai helped create both the Kirby and SSB series, and with an upcoming Nintendo drought (as far as huge titles go, at least), Kirby's next game whenever it comes out should get good attention. The FE series has recently picked up steam with some console releases and Ike is casual-bait, so perhaps we'll see more from upcoming FE games (when is the next game in its series, anyway?). I suspect Sonic's games won't boost much from this, but MGS4 can only benefit from this. How much, who knows..... --> It looks like the newer one-rep series are better received than the older one-rep series as a whole, but those should be considered more as a case-by-case study than simply saying newer > older. --> People here do not play SSBB for Mario characters -- SMB, its spin-offs, and DK end up placing at the bottom for both lists. Ouch. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

The next Fire Emblem is a remake of the first game, Dark Dragon and the
Sword of Light (NES), starring Marth, on the DS. It's supposed to come
out in Japan this year but there hasn't been a whole lot of news on it.
We still don't know if it includes the third game, Mystery of the
Emblem (SNES), which also featured a remake of the first game. --- Mustache...and green... people.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

Great work, HaR! I've been doing a little work on my end as well... as a result we've got two new voting sites up! Melee: http://www.thengamer.com/ssb/melee/ SSB: http://www.thengamer.com/ssb/original/ Do you think you could show these to the folks on the Melee and Smash 64 boards? They're going to see some trickle-down action regardless, as I've now got links between the three games sitting on the bottom of all the pages, but it would be nice to start them out with something of a bang. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer.

I hear ya HaR! In other news, ouch, MGS4 not looking so hot today! It currently sits at 26.84 ready to buy it straight off, 33.76% either buying or considering the purchase. For comparision, when this same one-month-in-advance prepoll was run for Brawl, it had 60.27% wanting to buy, and 66.43% either buying or considering doing so. The better comparision would be MGS4 to GTA4, but unfortunately SB didn't run that for us. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer. He just wins - thoroughly. |

I don't know. I think MGS4's doing great, considering. Over
100% of people on GameFAQS who own a PS3 are planning on buying it
straight off. Brawl had numbers like that as well, but still, I think
this is a really good performance based on how low the PS3 ownership
rate is. --- You need to meet someone at a garden, or a movie or something. Somewhere classy. Like a cooking recipe message board or something.--True Godhand/Curt |

Yeah. I was about to say that the people buying MGS4 are right around
the number of people who own a PS3 here, more if you take into
consideration the 'maybe' people. After hearing that MGS4 is going to get a Halo-esque marketing push from Sony I'd imagine these numbers will end up changing over the course of the month leading up to the release, too, primarily due to increased awareness of the PS3 bundle coming out on June 12th. --- 6.12.2008 -- Sneak Out |

It'll be interesting given that this will be Solid's first starring
role in a new game in the past ten years or whatever, plus MGS4's still
getting more attention/hype than MGS3 did. Halo's fanbase is quite a
bit different than MGS's, too, so I'm not sure how fair of a comparison
that is. That said...unless the PS3-ownership numbers change a lot after its release, I'm questioning how much it does for the legend too. At least he's got SSBB backing him too..... --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Riku vs Ryu Hayabusa. this match has been driving me crazy ever since i reminded myself that ryu beat both riku and roxas combined. what are your opinions? --- --GENO ALLIANCE-- Supporters of Geno in Super Smash Bros. Brawl - http://thegenoalliance.ytmnd.com/ |
| H__RR____H | Posted 5/14/2008 2:36:21 PM | message detail |

I'll take Riku. I know Hayabusa beat Riku+Roxas in the four-way and
that Riku barely beat Hayabusa the next round...that said, one-on-one
matches have typically shown Riku has the advantage. Also, if you
believe in the MGS/KH-anomalies, Riku beat Hayabusa with Solid Snake in
the same poll. There's a solid case for either one, but I'd not turning
my back on Square for this one. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Final numbers from the last two days. Firm Plans to Purchase MGS4 - 25.78% Wii Fit - 11.66% A dominating victory! But, what's this? Planning to Buy, or at least considering it MGS4 - 32.76% Wii Fit - 38.60% I can't believe so much of the site is willing to at least give Wii Fit the time of day; you'd think it would be exactly the kind of casually popular title that would be hated on by a site like this. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer.

Only people who hate Wii Fit are those who feel insecure about sharing
the world of video games with their grandparents. I'm hoping Wii Fit
dominates because I love laughing at these wastes cry about the end of
gaming when it doesn't interfere with Nintendo's other games and
especially with the 360/PS3 lineup. But yeah, Golden Sun's doing pretty damn good. Perhaps Felix would beat Master Chief in a rematch, say, 75-25? --- Bikini pic of my girlfriend: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5820/n163906098313264325679fy7.jpg |

If we have a Game Contest, we must get Wii Fit in because if it goes up
against a dearly-beloved Nintendo game like SMB3 or OoT or Brawl, it
could very well be a bigger blow-out than LoZ VS Adventure. Your
average GameFAQs user probably hates Wii Fit, and they'd likely
anti-vote it over anything else. Add another Nintendo title to stem
even Wii Fit fans away from voting for it, and you've got one hell of a
massacre. I'd like to see Wii Sports make it in for more legit reasons. It seems one of those titles that do well against a game nobody knows about but would bomb utterly against a game with an actual name for itself. --- Bikini pic of my girlfriend: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5820/n163906098313264325679fy7.jpg |

It'll have been 2 years since Dante/Yoshi, and with us likely looking at a significant influx of young voters we haven't seen in 1v1 matches (I mean, look at how Yoshi did last contest, he slaughtered Knuckles despite most Nintendo looking no better than we expected), I think we may see another general Nintendo boost across the board. Which of course means we go into ULTRA-BRAWLFEAR mode. |

True, though Yoshi remains as one of the least appreciated in the
SSB-series..and Dante sounds like he's the Solid Snake of the DMC
series; if Solid can boost after MGS2:Substance on the Xbox, I figure
Dante can off of DMC4 while going multi-platform. That said...through
no other stats except their head-to-head match in 2k5, it's hard for me
to pick against Yoshi. Brawl-fear, he's always loved in the Mario Kart
series, and ultimately he's still more well-known than Dante. No other
stats really explain it, but what's happened since their 2k5-match is
to Yoshi's advantage.. Also...for what it's worth about Knuckles, none of the Sonic characters looked fantastic last year. Knuckles dropped the ball big-time against Yoshi, Shadow hardly carried his weight, Tails lost to a boss from MGS3 (however bad-ass she may be), and Sonic barely beat Squall (despite Sora or Solid Snake being in each match)...one could say either the series is quickly dropping or that the format is not meant to favor Sonic characters. I think the latter is true. However, neither should really decide how impressive Yoshi dismantling Knuckles was. It's arguably his biggest victory (that or Dante!) and it was nice to see Yoshi could do that to respectable competition, the format was very different. I'm not gonna hold it against Knuckles. --- SSBB fans, please spend five minutes here: http://www.thengamer.com/ssb/ |

If it's a 1VS1 this year I'm taking Sonic to win it all. Brawl + a Bioware RPG + a game that so far looks fantastic = WIN. Even if he faces L-Block or Link in the first round ^_^ --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. EC > Me |
