Frog isn't a pushover in any format
really. I don't know why Turtle is saying "oh Kratos lost to people who
lost to decent midcarders WHAT A JOKE." I'll give you Lloyd and
especially Zelos as fodder... but Kratos? Nah. Captain Falcon is not a
factor especially with Diddy there. As for the Dog... I think he's funny to vote for because he's such a jackass. Him, CATS, and WCC (maybe) are the only joke characters I'd vote for in the bracket, just for the record. I dunno, I think some Duck Hunt fans must vote for him. Either that or he gets blown out in epic fashion and L still has a small chance to lose due to the match becoming a virtual three way. --- Prisoner number 4983-4750-0321 Nominate Raiden!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44772404 |

I'll give L-Block one match -- he IS the returning champ, afterall. If
THE DOG causes a first round loss for the returning champ, I'll be
impressed. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

But who's to say Diddy is sufficiently stronger than Falcon? I doubt
Kratos A. finishes last in that match; he'll take advantage of a (in my
opinion) likely even split between two Nintendo weaklings. Falcon lost
to Wario and got killed by Fox. I can't really envision Diddy doing
much better... --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If you can't see why there'd be SFF "tiers" then I don't know what to say to you. Samus is not rock bottom on the SFF chain. Midna is a minor side character from Zelda... of course I'm taking her to get SFFed. People said it before the match, this isn't just hindsight being 20/20. --- Prisoner number 4983-4750-0321 Nominate Raiden!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44772404 |

diddy kong has never made the contests before, and took him forever to
get into brawl, yet falcon has made contests before and gotten into
brawl before. I'd take the main character of a mid card Nintendo series
over a supporting character of another mid card nintendo series --- Vote for Hogger! He's the hardest boss to ever exist, and he roundhouse kicks Chuck Norris. |

Captain Falcon could be stronger than Diddy. But if you think that, you're better off taking Kratos Aurion, that's basically all there is to it. --- Prisoner number 4983-4750-0321 Nominate Raiden!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44772404 |

I can see Diddy doing better than Wario in any format, especially now
that it's post-SSBB. Diddy/MK before or after SSBB, I dunno, but I see
Diddy more on that tier than CF's. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

If Diddy is around the same level as Falcon, Kratos will probably get
by. But there's no way I can see Diddy being anywhere NEAR that weak.
Remember, Crono tripled Falcon in what is arguably his weakest year,
and he only got in as a result of the nomination rally. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

there shouldn't be any argument for Zidane Shadow got more votes in a match against three of the strongest characters in the contest as Zidane did in a match where NESS almost did well enough to advance >_> SHadow simply got screwed in that match.no midcarder would do much better than him.not against three potential noble nine breakers. to put things more simply http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2882&num=4 Shadow would probably have WON that match. |

Once again, compare Midna and Scorpion in their two matches. Identical both times. Identical in what way? Scorpion lost 1/3 of his percentage, while Midna lost 1/2 of hers. |

DIVISION 6 - Chris Redfield vs. Fox McCloud vs. Sora vs. Tim Sora and Fox blow the other two away, with Sora taking the comfortable win here. The day's big story, however, is Chris Redfield. I will do everything in my power to ensure he finishes in last place. My pick: Sora > Fox - CATS vs. Nathan Drake vs. Squall Leonhart vs. Yoshi IN A.D. 2101 My pick: Squall > Yoshi - Axel Steel vs. Cloud Strife vs. Midna vs. Miles Edgeworth Cloud will open an expected can of Stone Cold Steve Austin on this match. Midna may have sucked last year, but her competition is, luckily, far too pathetic to put her in any type of jeopardy. My pick: Cloud > Midna - Mewtwo vs. Ness vs. Pac-Man vs. Travis Touchdown Not many characters deserve this more than Mewtwo. A worthy Pokemon will revel in his most glorious contest moment; I can't wait for it. Ness and Pac-Man both disappointed last year, but the Pac was almost unspeakably pathetic. That's enough to go with Ness. My pick: Mewtwo > Ness Easiest division yet. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I don't understand how people aren't supporting Axel Steel in that
match. Midna was bloody pathetic last year, all Axel needs is to be
above the fodder line to do it, and with Guitar Hero's success, I can't
see him not winning here. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

diddy kong has never made the contests before, and took him forever
to get into brawl, yet falcon has made contests before and gotten into
brawl before. I'd take the main character of a mid card Nintendo series
over a supporting character of another mid card nintendo series F-Zero is not quite on the same level as Donkey Kong and Diddy's playable in more of the DK games than... DK. --- For your health. |

DIVISION 7 - Big Boss vs. Jinjo vs. Kirby vs. Lucas Kirby drains Lucas. Jinjo pulls a Zolom. Big Boss makes the cool people smile. My pick: Kirby > Big Boss - Kain Highwind vs. Master Chief vs. Professor Layton vs. Raiden Apparently, the name "Highwind" means something to Final Fantasy fans. Apparently, that also doesn't matter unless the competition is weak enough, and Master Chief and a beefed up Raiden ain't. My pick: Master Chief > Raiden - Captain MacMillan vs. Leon Kennedy vs. Riku vs. Siegfried Schtauffen Call of Duty 4 may have set the gaming world ablaze last year, but I doubt even loyal fans would vote for a CoD character... seems like a joke or something. This one is all about Leon and Riku. Not having looked at old stats, I wouldn't be surprised to see this going either way, especially with the possibility of the more realistic MacMillan and Siegfried negatively impacting Leon more. Still, Leon is RE personified, and I'll stick with him to the end.* *Analysis Crew write-up will feature RE4 quotes in caps. My pick: Leon Kennedy > Riku - Dante vs. Hogger vs. Laharl vs. Ramza Beoulve I'll tell ya, matches are tougher when you don't know three of the characters. Trembling with JOKEFEAR, I initially thought Hogger may have stood a chance - for Pete's sake, just read his damn name. However, that all changed once I remembered Thrall, and when I saw that my brother, a former WoW junkie, couldn't even recognize Hogger at first. I guess Ramza looks good!

I've also got Tidus > Donkey Kong. But I'm not at all confident
about Tidus' ability to hold first. Fortunately for him, Donkey Kong is
chokejob personified. I'm a wee bit worried about Cube being a strong
joke character (I call them "Strokes" ...get it? Strong Jokes, lol) but
I'm banking on the fact that he won't have a Cinderella run. Tails is
just unfortunate enough to be in yet another situation where he can't
possibly win anything, but if I'm lucky he'll sap enough votes from DK
for Teedus to pull through. Wishful thinking? Yeah, you bet your ass. Who does everyone have after Mega Man in round 2? Looking at my bracket, it's Tidus so far. Haha. --- 0/0 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VII NP: Wario > Zack |

I call them "Strokes" ...get it? Strong Jokes, lol Ha, I like it! They're bound to give a few of us brain problems as well, so it's a nice double entendre. I think Tidus has DK covered, leaving that damn stroke as the only question mark. However, the more I think about it, the less I feel Cube has anywhere near the potential of L-Block, Sandbag, or even The Dog. He's just too obscure. I feel good about cutting him in Round 1. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

To chime in on the Diddy match, I can't see him being all that strong,
but he should be safely ahead of Falcon. He got in on Brawl, and he's
got a series that people likely to be more much familiar with. I'd
sooner expect Diddy to take a good chunk of Falcon's votes - who, more
than anything else, strikes me as a bad 'fad' in the sense that he's
got fans because of bad Youtubes - than for them to split. That, and
trusting Tales characters to win a match is bad news. --- Kept you waiting, huh? |

Let's hope so, otherwise my bracket = busted. What's this I keep hearing about Midna advancing with Cloud? Really? Seriously? Teh mind is boggled. I know Miles is cult, but every time I've ever banked on Midna to do something, I get red in my bracket and feel like a jackass. *sob* --- 0/0 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VII NP: Wario > Zack |

What does Axel Steel actually do in a rhythm game? Is he any different than those background dancers in the DDR games? He doesn't do anything, just there to jam/play in the background. Though I will admit the look and design of all the Guitar Hero characters are unique and part of the charm.

Ugh, I'm so bothered by which order to put Kirby and Big Boss. If Big
Boss gets his Naked Snake picture for that bout, then I could see him
coming on top. But if gets his MGS1 render, Kirby's got it in the bag. Either way, I have Kirby moving on with Master Chief in the next round, banking on SFF between Raiden and Big Boss to let Kirbs pull through. --- 0/0 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VII NP: Wario > Zack |

Plus Altair's multi-platform... ...still, I'm cautious about putting a LOT of faith into that. We never got to see CoD4 in anticipation-polls to my knowledge, but there's no doubt it would have done terribly -- none of the other CoD games seem to be hyped here until their releases, and even still they never got going well until CoD4's release. It wouldn't have done well in any hype-poll, especially given the big-names that hadn't released at the time (SSBB, MGS4, Halo 3)...but it still kicked Halo 3's ass in the GotY and wouldn't be blown out by SMG. Still though, it seemed like Assassin's Creed received mixed hype and mixed reviews here.

Shadow feels less and less safe with talk like that... ...let's say for a moment that it's actually enough for Zidane to steal the win from Shadow. The next round would likely be Link/Wario/Zidane/Zack. Wario will get DESTROYED, and Zidane/Zack will duke it out over the Square vote. Zack likely beats Cecil, but Zidane is higher on the food chain...would Zack beat Zidane there, and would either of them beat an SFF'd Wario after splitting with each other? --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

I'll be surprised if Zack isn't a good mid-carder (as in be able to
60/40 the fodder line, i.e. Captain Falcon). He's from FF7 and he looks
like Cloud, need I say more? Yeah, and being the hero of a new game
doesn't hurt, either. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
