You don't want to be on the crew, not with the very thorough tryout process Moltar put us through.

At least I'll probably never need another enema again.
HeroicTronBonne | Posted 8/8/2008 3:37:04 PM | message detail
I should totally get on the crew simply because I'm always over looked

I totally want to be on the crew!

........I highly doubt I'll be even considered, so I'll just help out the guests <_<

Nominate Alberto Robert from Sonic the Hedgehog!
He made the ultimate shoes. He calls them Custom Shoes!

Hey, is Niko from GTAIV worth nominating?

BT, this also means that the more recent games will be overrepresented and the games that aren't so new that most people won't remember to add to their collection will be few. We won't have an accurate reading of actual game strength when 95% of the bracket is filled with games from 2002+

Xenosaga is way better then any crappy game you enjoy.

Good think 4chan is still down. Hopefully no complete joke noms this year.

Nominate Brock from the Pokemon Series for Character Battle VII, or Onix will use Bind on you forever.

niko is def. worth nominating gta4 was very popular

Neku might actually be worth something this year too, I'd suggest nominating him if you liked TWEWY

L-Block is the only joke nominee with realistic 1v1 potential, and GameFAQs loves him/it. I'd enjoy watching 4chan nominate Mudkip just to snicker as the damn thing draws Auron or Samus in round one.
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 8/8/2008 3:43:23 PM | message detail
I have a feeling Niko would severely disappoint. Carl Johnson did, and San Andreas was a bigger seller and maintained a longer, more consistent stint of popularity. GTAIV has already been drowned out by other games.
MegatokyoEd | Posted 8/8/2008 3:43:51 PM | message detail
GTA4 has received major backlash online. I wouldn't expect Niko to do anything.

Demyx is better than Axel.
Just like Explicit Content is better than me for winning the Guru contest.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 8/8/2008 3:43:58 PM | message detail
L-block won't be nearly as strong, assuming he isn't removed as a past champion.

Part of his charm was "Wow, a Tetris block just got out of Round 1. I support this!"

I don't want to be on the crew this year Moltar, and I'm probably the only one who doesn't (other then Ulti perhaps?).

I would love to write one or two guest picks though.

Good Times,

WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 8/8/2008 3:45:10 PM | message detail
The best thing that could come out of Niko would be him losing to Ness worse than CJ did.

I wouldn't say GTA4 got backlash, so much as it faded out of existance after a month or so. Happens to all big name, mainstream franchises. Took a bit longer with Tommy Vercetti, but thats because he came around when the concept of the sandbox game was still kinda new.

After Brawl I would definitely pick Ness over Niko, even if Niko isn't held down by racism or whatever we pegged CJ with.

It faded out of existence cause everyone realized it was overrated after they beat it. I've seen major backlash because everyone realized it was worth nowhere near the 10's it was given.

I am prepared for another year of haiku.

I would expect that KH will be gone, seeing as how he's working on the Obama campaign and hasn't posted on this board in months, but I'll talk to him.

Considering there's no possible way she'll draw opponents as weak as last year's, I highly doubt Amastasdfasdfaseru will do anything this year.

Hooooray for Contest season!

Talk about awesome... a Character Contest on the way, with a Game Contest confirmed for after Christmas. Obviously the same thing but in the opposite order would have been ideal (MGS4/GTA4/Brawl could have entered near peak strength, there's no earth shattering releases planned before early '09, I'd rather have seen Chrono/Magus/Frog back in action after CT:DS rather than before), but oh well, no biggie!

I think people are reading too much into this My Games comment, honestly. I think SB just wanted to drop a hint as to what the next Contest would be, while at the same time promoting the feature he's put alot of work into these past few months. All he was trying to say, as I read that, was that you should fill out your My Games so you have something to look back at when deciding your noms for the BGE2.

Didn't think it was possible, but there's even more BRAWLFEAR this year.

We don't need to see 20 midcarders that will all be the exact same strength.

I like Ike. (haw) I also like Pit and ROB and G&W and who knows who else.

but we don't need them in a contest since they're all going to be about the same - where Marth was. go ahead and nominate them, but you couldn't make a more predictable entrant.
