Here are the females from the female bracket I would've taken Kerrigan over: Jade Alyx Vance Anyone else, I'd have to think about it. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Argh, why are we even talking about Kerrigan? This topic is now about Edgeworth. Seriously, I was just looking at the 2007 contest earlier today, and I noticed that Edgeworth got around 10% against Link, and Phoenix Wright got around 11% against Mario. They were probably both SFF'd. I wonder if Edgey isn't as pathetic as I originally thought. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Considering they're Nintendo exclusive characters, it's not that far
out there. It's the only reason I can figure why Phoenix bombed in
round two. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

that brings up something else i've always wondered: where could they
both be in the stats? i never pictured edgeworth making a contest but..
perhaps he's not a complete joke after all. --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

Honestly....I'd take both over like...Lloyd. They're at best just above the fodder line. Additionally, Edgeworth is one of the few characters to ever be in a contest I would safely take Phoenix with 75% over. --- I would kill everyone in my entire family if I gave birth to a Man United fan.

Ehh, I don't think Phoenix would triple Edgey. I think it might be relatively close, but Nick would win. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

phoenix vs Miles i would expect the percentages to be roughly the same
as cloud vs sephiroth,with the votals being well maybe about the same
as cloud's total. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

The main character could be Vyse level, I suppose...but probably not,
since he's not given a name in-game, so most people wouldn't have a
clue who "Minato Arisato" is. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |

hmm.. looks like Phoenix Wright has actually increased in popularity since he first entered in 2005. http://www.google.com/trends?q=Phoenix+Wright&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 heh. maybe he is finally a mid-carder? --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

well if he's got a hardcore fanbase he should get a floor on his number
of votes,the game seems pretty popular so a good pic and i would be a
little unsure vs say Lloyd. Also with FES coming to europe he might get an extra 500 votes. I honestly think europe can be the deciding factor in some close matches,they can give the extra 1000 votes needed for a character to pull through. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

I feel Phoenix is in the same boat as Guybrush. Both awesome characters
if you play the games they are in but their fanbase is dedicated and
not widepread. I would like to see a matchup between those two actually. --- Look at this sig hard enough and you will find the combination to the lock. |

Phoenix Wright and Guybrush have the same qualities but i think Phoenix being in a Nintendo system helps him out. that and i could never see Guybrush being that close to Bomberman or even above Crash. --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

I would probably peg Phoenix at around 17.00 on BL. Right on the line
between fodder and high end fodder. He didn't look that bad in 2006,
but keep in mind that: A) Gordon most likely overperformed by quite a bit on Sora due to finally winning a match. B) If there was ever a case for rSFF I would suggest Gordon Vs. Phoenix. I imagine that a large amount of Gordon's traditional joke voters jumped ship to Phoenix instead. Not to mention that the X-Stats for that year are based off of a Samus who's at 45 on BL. Also, Phoenix made the second round this past year, but he was most likely greatly helped by the format more than anything. --- You need to meet someone at a garden, or a movie or something.

The format was the only reason why I took Phoenix to beat Bomberman. One-on-one, there's little question that Bomberman wins. --- Well then who's on first? Yes. I mean the guy's name. Who. The guy on 1st. Who. The 1st baseman. Who. Who is on first! That's his name. That's who's name? Yes. |

It's not often we see someone posting a message in the wrong topic. Charizard -Mewtwo L-Block - CATS(if one on one i genuinely think L-block won't have nearly enough momentum to beat the guy) Bowser - Sora Seifer - Lara Croft Link - Remake Cloud --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

Charizard - Fox McCloud L-Block - uh.. i have no idea where it'd be in a one on one format. say a solid mic-carder like.. Sub-Zero? Bowser - Dante or Zelda Seifer - Kefka Link - Remake Cloud --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

| Guybrush is pretty close to the most pathetic sack
of crap we've ever seen in these contests. I honestly wouldn't take him
to beat anybody, unless the poll gets 20,000 votes tops. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

Charizard - Alucard would be great. Mewtwo would be fun, too, and Fox is plenty interesting. L-Block - Link, first round. Bowser - Yoshi in a rematch? If not, then Tifa might work. Seifer - Ike. Link - L-Block...or Tingle. --- Well then who's on first? Yes. I mean the guy's name. Who. The guy on 1st. Who. The 1st baseman. Who. Who is on first! That's his name. That's who's name? Yes. |

I'm not positive Guybrush would beat Tanner. I seriously don't think he can manage 20,000 votes against ANYONE. Well, unless he's a bracket favorite or something. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

| Haha, talking about standing a chance, I actually
thought Madden '09 would do well today given the "caliber" of its
competition and GameFAQs seeming a bit more casual to me lately...but
man, it is getting embarrassed by the likes of Mercenaries 2 and being worse than quadded by None of the above. At least it's not From The Abyss right now...holy hell. --- Well then who's on first?

| Oh, allow me to clarify: I thought Madden had a
good chance to beat the other games, though NotA was undoubtedly going

However, Sora has nothing of the sort he can benefit from. It would
be a huge shock if he were to reach the Sweet Sixteen. Jill would have
to have a HUGE dropoff and Hayabusa be barely strong enough to beat
her, or he would've had to suffer MASSIVE SFF against Aeris last
summer. Neither are very likely. man i couldn't help but post this. just so hilarious. --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

Hmm. Just finished MGS4, and I have to say, Snake probably won't be gaining that
big of a boost from it. He's far less cool than he was in any of the
other MGS games, and he has hardly any dialogue. Of course, he'll still
get some sort of boost, due to how popular the game is, but it could
have been a lot bigger, and his role in Brawl really eclipses it.. On the other hand, I can see Ocelot and especially Raiden getting huge boosts from the game. Raiden's MGS4 role is absolutely incredible, so I think he'll get a bigger one, especially since Ocelot's already been in every MGS game so far and Raiden's only had one. And if Otacon ever gets into a contest, I can see him becoming the strongest NPC ever (take that Kairi!!). I don't think the game will do too much for Liquid though...at least, it didn't for me. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |

Snake's role in MGS4 is great. He's just as cool as he's always been -
and he's the complete star of the show, with a couple of rare moments
throughout the game. --- Where there are cardboard boxes, there will always be Solid Snake. |

I don't know if he's really the star - he did have far
less dialogue than the heroes of the previous three games. Most of the
cutscenes just have other people talking and Snake occasionally
grunting. At times I think that Otacon had more dialogue than Snake did. And Harrich, traditionally there's been a distinction between NPCs and villains. Also, Ergheiz. :p --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |

Snake is definitely the star of MGS4. Sure, there are plenty of scenes
where Snake is mostly listening to someone reveal some major plot point
to him, but he still has plenty of dialogue himself. He has plenty of awesome moments, although most of which don't occur until Act 3 on, but they're awesome. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." |

You make it sound like Snake rarely spoke, which just isn't true. Other
characters may have been more chatty, but that doesn't make them any
more important or cooler. Raiden should get a good boost for obvious
reasons - he has a lot more ground to make up with people than Snake
does - and Ocelot, too. But Snake's potential boost isn't going to be
lessened because of 'lack of dialogue.' --- Where there are cardboard boxes, there will always be Solid Snake. |

heh, otacon would be pretty interesting to see in a contest.. he's been in pretty much 3 of the major MGS games, right? though i don't think he has that much appeal... i certainly wouldn't take him over kairi. --- *is Dranze* Brawl FC: 4081-5169-8762 |

I like Otacon a lot more than most NPCs, and I don't relate to Otacon
like a lot of Japanese-fans can. I'd rather see Colonel, but Otacon
would be cool... ...that said, if post-MGS3 Ocelot and Raiden would have struggled with Kairi (and they likely would have if they were to even win), Otacon isn't going to break it. --- Well then who's on first?
