you know, if Zelda actually gets by Knuckles (and by a good bit), is it possible she could slip by X IF a Mario vs X match would be more of a killing?


Absolutely not. Get out of this topic.

Nobody answered my question on what everyone thinks of Roxas? You think he can get past Liquid? And if so can he pass either Bowser/Luigi because they SFF?

Eh...I don't think Roxas can make it past Liquid, mostly because of MGS4, but also due to Minamimoto; he won't do much, but KH and TWEWY surely share something of a fanbase, and Minamimoto is probably the most popular character from his game.

Eh, I think Neku will end up being a bit stronger than Sho, but Sho's presence hurting Roxas is a good point. TWEWY should share a pretty large portion of its fanbase with KH, and anyone who's played both should totally be voting Sho ;>_>

I assumed that people would think I'm a fake... so to speak. So naturally I went ahead and made proof... irrefutable evidence that I am in fact the prize-winning prodigy of the last contest.

I take nothing named after Vietnam seriously, plus first winning first place > alt trolls

On a different note, Marth/Duke/Altair/Lucario is annoying, as is the entire bottom half of that division. I'm fairly confident in Lucario winning that second round match outright, but Duke/Marth/Altair (and even Kefka) could all potentially get second place. It pretty much all comes down to whether or not Altair is as strong or stronger than 2007 Marcus Fenix. If he is, he'll easily take second place.

The better question is why on earth you have Duke Nukem advancing over Kefka. Also, with Marth taking Lucario's votes I'm not sure why you're so confident Lucario takes first.

The only thing I'm sure about that fourpack is that Kefka won't advance.

Which is funny because I also think that Kefka is a the bracket favourite to advance to the quarter finals with Link :P

Xuxon | Posted 9/12/2008 2:44:51 AM | message detail
if kefka can get by the first round, and shadow makes the third round, kefka probably makes the quarters. if kefka and zack are both there, i could see lucario in the quarters. if kefka loses in the first round, zack or shadow probably makes the quarters. all the dependencies are what make this bracket so hard.

in other parts of the bracket, i can't believe i'm STILL the only one with cloud > link with mario and snake there. i mean i know at least 10 other people have mario making the finals, cloud wasn't very far behind link last year despite link being the only one able to stop l-block, and mario holds his own against link.

lol still with mc to the finals huh? it's not impossible and i did consider it. he only lost by 2% to snake last year and his fanbase seems more static. this time there will be stronger competition with cloud and sephiroth. but halo 3 hype has died down and snake is even stronger this year... i'm not gonna risk it.

Hey, at least I don't have MC winning em this time!

I still figure there should be some bad reactions from MGS/FFVII... we've seen evidence of it before. And yeah, add to that the possibilities of static fanbases supporting MC and of course the fact that he wasn't too far below Snake at all last year and we've got a winner.

I'll leave out the fact that I have MC > Cloud in the round before.

what does everyone think about division 4 round 3? assuming L-block doesn't make it, we probably have crono/ryu/pikachu/alucard. alucard's obviously not a contender here, but what about pikachu vs ryu? if arthas sneaks by alucard, could he do anything here? wrath of the lich king could be out by then; november 8th.

Division 4 round 3 I have Crono > Ryu, mostly because I remember what fighting game characters tended to do last year. It's the sprite round, which might have given Ryu some kind of advantage if the others didn't all have pretty good sprites, which they do...but with SF4 hype and general casual bait appeal, I'm going with Ryu here.

Lopen | Posted 9/12/2008 3:22:08 AM | message detail
Ryu is a big ass mountain to crack for Arthas, I don't think he's a factor IF he squeaks by Alucard (which I also just don't see). Pikachu vs Ryu is a bit interesting... I considered Pika but honestly Pika over Ryu is a bit of a stretch, even given how Pika loves the format. Ryu's got no SFF there for Pika to chow down on so I'm doubting Ryu falls.

Honestly I'd almost consider Ryu > Crono before either of those picks (before Arthas for sure). Yeah that one's pretty out there considering how Auron handled him so maybe not. Though I do think Ryu and Bowser have some weird SFFlike thing going on, so maybe that's part of the reason Auron owned him in rd 2.

at the very least i give crono > arthas more of a shot than ryu > crono heh. if wrath of the lich king is out, and there's a good enough vote rally, it seems at least possible, however unlikely. with it released and no rally, i could see him maybe within 10k of ryu... how much were starcraft's rallies for?

Link/Crono/Cloud/Snake is what I have in my bracket, and I considered taking Link > Snake but decided not to be that crazy. Cloud has very little holding him back here and if anything I think he'll just crush the living daylights out of Crono. Snake should do well, but I don't think he can sneak (argh, no pun intended) into second.

Doubt it. Crono takes away a little from Cloud by being there, but not that much. Gotta remember that Cloud doesn't split votes, he just takes 'em.

Maybe not the best thing because of the Block, but -- http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2925&num=4

The original games are close together, but Crono hasn't had anything new since then, whereas FFVII has AC, Crisis Core, etc. So Crono ends up seeming more old-school than Cloud.

still, a great majority of cloud's popularity is just from ff7.

roxas vs liquid is the kind of thing where it seems pretty clear it wouldn't be a blowout yet also seems clear that roxas wouldn't win. frog was weaker facing axel than liquid, roxas at best is a bit stronger than axel, liquid has mgs4 now.
