I'd rank them Charizard Meta-Knight Diddy Kong Squirtle Ike Lucas King DeDeDe Ivysaur Lucario Wolf Wario Pit Olimar R.O.B. Also, remember that we've all agreed to nominate Charizard for the next Character Battle in place of Mewtwo. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer.

For what it's worth, I meant to switch Wario and Dedede. That said, Dedede is still good and liked in SSBB and has been in the Kirby series since the beginning. He had a fun role in the Subspace Emissary, and he's got a distinct look. He's a gamble and he obviously wouldn't outdo Meta-Knight, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in a lot of matches against other lower-tier SSBB characters. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

meta-knight is a real mystery though. i can see him being weak and at
the same time see him being solid. could he actually come close to
kirby? --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

No matter if it wasn't in brawl, Bulbasaur would beat any pokémon in a poll.

I'll take MK over Diddy. They're both fan-favorites in their series,
and I doubt the DKC and Kirby series are far apart. However, I'm not
taking Diddy to be terribly close to DK...and MK showed last year he's
not far off from DK by outdoing Peach and Wario pre-SSBB (format be
damned). Throw in that MK has been received MUCH better in SSBB than
Diddy (in fact, every Kirby character's been better received than DK or
Diddy in SSBB) and the DK stock has dropped in recent years, and I'll
go with Meta-Knight for that one. Diddy's got the advantage of being in the Mario spin-offs though, and I do think Diddy would be closer to DK in their series than MK to Kirby...but head-to-head in a general poll, we've seen MK hold up in SFF-battles against bigger Nintendo names. We've also seen MK kick a lot of ass on Ngamer's SSBB-experiment, and MK as well as the Halberd play a big role in SSBB as well. I'll roll with MK. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

Throw in that MK has been received MUCH better in SSBB than Diddy
(in fact, every Kirby character's been better received than DK or Diddy
in SSBB) I don't know if that's necessarily true. I've heard plenty of good things about Diddy. A good Diddy player will annoy you more than any other character than perhaps a good Snake. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Oh, Diddy's in my top five for SSBB, don't get me wrong -- I use him a lot more than MK. Just saying, looky looky: http://www.thengamer.com/ssb/results.php http://www.thengamer.com/ssb/results.php?topfive=ranks I figure you haven't seen this since it was before you came back. About half of those votes came from GameFAQs, and if memory serves me right GameFAQs favored MK more than the other sites I took the site to. I may try to look in the last topic and see if I can find the pure-GameFAQs numbers...but either way, MK > Diddy in SSBB-favoritism by miles. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

...What are all of those rankings based on, anyway? Besides, I'm not saying that Meta-Knight isn't a big favorite, SSBB wise. I know he is. I still think Ike is moreso though. Plus, I think DKC and Mario spinoffs COULD make up the difference for Diddy. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Essentially based on how much people liked them in SSBB. The first link
is decided by random matches generated between characters, and whoever
was selected in each match would be given one point while whoever was
not selected lost a point. The second link was decided by people
picking their top five characters in the game...#1 gets five points, #5
gets one point -- you get the idea. It was inspired by a GameSpot ad
and then greatly improved upon, because Ngamer > GameSpot. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

Just remember, you always have to take what Board 8 says with a grain
of salt because it generally doesn't reflect the opinion of the average
gamer, especially with such a small sample. Otherwise, Magus would be winning all of the contests around here. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Donkey Kong also had the disadvantage of getting noms as both "Donkey

those were counted as the same --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Well, just remember that you're talking about SSBB alone. There are
characters I'd rather play as in Brawl that I don't necessarily like
better than someone else. Sure, a lot of people play with their
favorites, but not always. For example, I'd rather play as...well, most characters over Bowser, but I'd still vote him one-on-one in a Character Battle over most of the ones in Brawl. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Understandable though I think we've always clashed on the extent of how
much/little SSB/M/B matters to characters. Diddy does have more
exposure too, plus he probably means more to the DKC games (or even the
DK games as a whole) than MK to the Kirby games. There's an
easy-yet-close case for both characters. I just figure MK's held up well enough to Mario staples and a SSB/M-elite before SSBB even dropped, and MK's looking to be much more favored in that game than Diddy. I haven't played recent games from either of their series, but both of those characters seem to have dropped off in recent years as far as having reasons to be excited about them too, until SSBB. Throw in that SSBB's the current GotY by a blow-out and that it tried to incorporate some story-line for the characters this time (although vaguely), and I'll give MK the edge. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

Brawl's a whole other league from TP. Ike and Meta-Knight did pretty
well coasting mostly on Brawl-hype, and let's not forget Snake. I really want to see another character contest soon because I want to see how unbelievably godly the Nintendo crew is now. I'm always in the mood for a few good laughs. --- i got nuthin |

We were big on Midna for three reasons: 1) LoZ:TP was huge (already acknowledged). 2) Midna was a more personable Navi in many ways. 3) It shouldn't be hard to double Tingle. Alas, Midna failed, but I don't relate that to SSBB. We were anxious to see a new LoZ-contender (and Epona didn't get the noms.....), and we've already seen MK in action and exceeding most expectations pre-SSBB. We have strong samples suggesting MK is among the most favored from SSBB, too, as opposed to general mixed talk that Midna was liked or disliked by many (and that many said you had to beat the game to like Midna). I don't think it's the same situation. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

Oh, I was just countering your point that it mattered that SSBB had

irrelevant. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |

Ah, gotcha'. I still think it's significant to the characters in the
Subspace because the series had never had it before, though the story
and the lack of focus on many characters won't help a lot in the long
run for some like what you're saying. We'll get to see just how much it really matters come time for the characters to battle again...though we'll also have to understand that it looks like SSBB is bigger now than SSBM ever was. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |

Haha, and you liked them all before SSBB anyway (except maybe Dedede,
but I know you're a Kirby fan). I don't remember Luigi, but I remember
those plus Bowser, Captain Falcon, Wario, Mario (mainly for his big
angry punch!) and Marth pretty clearly...not to mention NPCs like
several of the bosses. I've played through it twice though, which is something I don't think most SSBB-players have done...hmmmm. --- Our NRT-champions: Pokemon R/B/Y -- SF64 -- DKC2 Pledge here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=43361212 |
