Of course people aren't as excited as usual. Excitement for the
contests has decreased every year. Doesn't mean I think they're going
to start nominating joke characters just because. Some will, but I
think it's much more people trying to emulate L-Block. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

the only good thing about having so joke character rallies is that most
of them won't enter a 64 man bracket,if it's 128 and 4 way then...at
least have CATS in a winnable situation. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

Considering we had 200,000+ nominations before it closed, I seriously
doubt we'll be seeing any joke characters besides the usual few. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

but how many of those 200k are deleted noms? --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

|
Doesn't matter. There are so many joke noms that they're all spread extremely thin instead of rallying one character. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

Maybe it's my fault since it was my idea to get Nidoran F in and then all these other joke rallies popped up the next year. --- i got nuthin |

I actually didn't have a problem with Nidoran F. That's how bad the female bracket was. --- CBVII Nominations: Squall, Tidus, Seifer, Diddy, Akuma, Roxas, Ocelot, Big Boss, Phoenix Wright, Gray Fox, Neku, Laguna, Protoman, Ken Masters, von Karma |

CATS still can't get out of round one and L-Block should go out in round 2 with ryu taking spot 2. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

| Right now I have Cube going to the quarterfinals
and L-Block getting second in every match until he wins in the finals
over Link, Cloud, and... Master Chief. My bracket will definitely need tweaking. --- i got nuthin |

...This is a horrible bracket. There are some debatable matches, but
there are so few matches that I actually care about. We went from
Yoshi/Knux/Rikku/Vaan to Cecil/Wario/Zack/Jade Curtiss. And he put Cloud and Squall in the same division, and he wastes Auron YET AGAIN by putting him in the same division with Sephy. I already said this contest will be horrible before the bracket was released. Too much fodder. This will be the second worst contest ever, after SC2K4. --- CBVII Nominations: Squall, Tidus, Seifer, Diddy, Akuma, Roxas, Ocelot, Big Boss, Phoenix Wright, Gray Fox, Neku, Laguna, Protoman, Ken Masters, von Karma |

I'd go with Sephiroth > Sonic. Master Chief has a habit of bombing when he faces real competition. (Or not, because I remember him going down to Sub-Zero.) --- Brawl FC: 5370-0213-5065 - Wii Name: T-Pal Mario Kart FC: 4854-6839-7676 |
| Lady Ashe | Posted 8/21/2008 1:28:56 PM | message detail |
| Sephy should destroy Tifa, yes. Nana is
recognizable as an Ice Climber from Melee/Brawl. It can go either way,
but I'll probably take Nana. --- http://backloggery.com/embok/sig.gif |

There's a bit too much garbage in here, I'll agree with that, but after
a quick glance I don't know how you can say this bracket is flat out
bad. You're not going to get every match out want, and I think this is
going to be pretty good considering. --- Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V) is awesome. Nominate him for Character Battle 7! http://www.ffcompendium.com/chara/12rw-gilgamesh-a.jpg |

LeonhartFour (#231) Really? They seem kindof similar in setup to me. Yoshi/Knux is comparable to Cecil/Zack. Wario is comparable to Rikku. Vaan and Jade are both not relevant. --- http://backloggery.com/embok/sig.gif |

Considering we had 200,000+ nominations before it closed, I
seriously doubt we'll be seeing any joke characters besides the usual
few. EL OH EL I don't think I'm gonna even do a bracket this year. Everything is gonna be wrong lol. --- Yeah, you lost your virginity. Just like a homeless guy staring into the window of an office building means he got a job.- Colonel Alloy |

| While i agree that this has a lot of fodder and
people i dont care about, i also think its because gaming has become

So, tough matches: Link/Wario/Zack/Shadow: Nintendo/Sonic overlap makes this easy enough, I suppose. Perhaps. Marth/Kefka/Nico and Lucario/Altair/winners - I have Marth proceeding due to SSBB and Nico going with him, but Kefka could easily take this. Lucario/Marth/Nico is tough too...Lucario has Pokemon strength, but there's Smash LFF, and Nico could be strong due to GTA...bah. Bowser/Luigi/Liquid/Phoenix - Just tough due to Bowser/Luigi. I'm betting on Bowser, but I really have no clue. Mario/MMX/Zelda/Mudkip - Can MMX beat Zelda? Will he be SFF'd by Mario as much as she is? I've got no clue, really. Mario/Bowser/Luigi/MMX - Takin' the MMX upset here aww yeah. Still, tough match. Frog/Ganondorf/KOS-MOS/Neku - How much have KOS and Frog fallen? If it's close, Frog wins, so I'm betting on him. Samus/Vincent/Ganondorf/Scorpion - Could Vincent upset Samus? She did well last year, so I'm not betting on it. Every L-Block match - how much strength will L retain? Will he get stronger as matches pass again? He could lose to Ryu in Round 3, but he has a lot of LFF help after that. Every Weighted Companion Cube match - Again, no clue about its strength. I have it losing to Snake and MM, but Zero LFF could easily change that. And does it beat DK in the first two rounds or not? Who's Axel Steel, and can he beat Midna? Leon/Riku/Dante/Ramza - will LFF let Riku beat them all? Probably not, with Ramza there, but he should get second to Dante. MC/Kirby/Dante/Riku - Finally, the epic Kirby/Dante match we've all been waiting for. Dante should win due to DMC4, but how big will SSBB be? Seph/Tifa/Kratos/Ocelot - All Playstation characters, so everyone should be hurt, but Tifa's hurt most. Will Kratos surpass her? (no) Seph/Auron/Tifa/Sonic - How much will Brawl boost Sonic? Enough to beat Seph with those three in the poll? I'm skeptical after his showing against Squall last year. Seph/Sonic/Chief/Dante - Will MC be strong enough to beat Sonic after SSBB? Again, your guess is as good as mine. "cool" LFF might help Sonic here, but I have no idea. Any other matches you guys see as interesting, and your thoughts on WCC/L-Block? --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |
