Speaking of that Pikachu match, I dropped Ike for Arthas a few days
ago. Today, I learned that Arthas is the Lich King himself, and I'm
feeling even better about the switch. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Not much, but given the weak ass competition I think we GH fans will rally behind Axel. --- Did you say nerd? - Raiden Yes, I did. Your hearing is flawless. You heard correctly. Get to the nerd. - Campbell |

Pikachu sure did impress last year though. 18% with Luigi, Dante, and MC vs 19% with LS, MC, and Yuna. very, very close performances. --- *is Dranze* Explicit Contest is my lord. |

I have Axel Steel because Midna was complete garbage last year. And how is Ike the favourite in that match? Was Arthas beating Diablo not impressive enough? |

plus pikachu was getting sff'd by luigi. plus either arthas or kratos will probably advance if not both. pikachu > alucard --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/19, before Captain Crow Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

Midna was screwed by the matchup last year. I still feel comfortable with Midna coming in second. Axel Steel won't do anything. --- NEW YORK GIANTS: SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!! Character Battle VII *PRINTABLE BRACKET* - Look in my profile for links. GO SONIC |

The second round match of Alucard/Arthas will be near the release of
wotlk when it has the most hype. Not saying Arthas will pull an upset,
but I wouldn't be shocked. --- Score: 0/0 Today's Pick: Zack Fair > Wario Vote for Arthas Menethil in Character Battle VII!! |

I wouldn't be surprised if Pikachu takes out Alucard, but I get the
feeling he won't be nearly as strong if he's not standing out like a
sore Nintendo thumb. If Diddy is in the poll, I call Alucard the
favorite. If Diddy and Ike are both in, it's an easy second place for Pikachu. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

The thing is, while I'd normally take Pikachu > Alucard *easily* in this format, Diddy and Ike should be there. And if they aren't, that may mean Nintendo has lost a step, which means I'd still be iffy on Pika's chances. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Pika's chances. no, it means nintendo fell victim to LFF is all. and even with one of them there, you can see that pikachu nearly as well as alucard against stronger competition despite being LFFed by luigi, so if even only one nintendo character makes it pikachu should take first. --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/19, before Captain Crow Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

Midna beat Kratos Aurion. Anyone that would take Axel Steel over Kratos
Aurion is just wow. A lot of GH players don't even like Axel Steel. I
sure don't. --- Demyx is better than Axel. Just like Explicit Content is better than me for winning the Guru contest. |

Arthas (2007c) VS Alucard (2007c) Arthas has a strength of 16.78. Alucard has a strength of 21.09. Alucard wins with 60.22% of the vote! A win of 29,629 with 144,984 total votes cast. This was with Arthas being SFF'd like crazy by Diablo, and pre Wotlk boost. Don't be shocked if Arthas is able to beat him, because Alucard is going down in popularity over the years if anything. --- Score: 0/0 Today's Pick: Zack Fair > Wario Vote for Arthas Menethil in Character Battle VII!! |

Speaking of that Pikachu match, I dropped Ike for Arthas a few days
ago. Today, I learned that Arthas is the Lich King himself, and I'm
feeling even better about the switch. Yeah, I probably will never play a Warcraft game, but I've read up on the storyline at least to see what the big deal about the various characters were for contest purposes (same with Starcraft). I'm still taking Ike though. Yes, Arthas beat Diablo out, but they both lost to KOS-MOS, and it's not like we were talking high percentages. The Boss also beat Tails (15.84% - 15.60%), but are we clamoring about what her strength was? There's no Mega Man to hog all of the percentage this go around, so Arthas would really have to earn it this time. --- Currently playing: GTAIV, SSBB, MP3, Apollo Justice, FFIVDS, Dracula X |

Yes, Arthas beat Diablo out, but they both lost to KOS-MOS, and it's not like we were talking high percentages. Diablo and Arthas are both of Blizzards main characters, so obviously they just stole eachothers votes. Have em in there without the other, and either of em woulda taken out kosmos. --- Score: 0/0 Today's Pick: Zack Fair > Wario Vote for Arthas Menethil in Character Battle VII!! |

Midna almost lost to a Tales character, and got killed by Scorpion Axel Steel just needs to be at the fodder line to advance there. |

How was Midna screwed in the 1st match? I wouldn't exactly say that, but expectations for Midna were set too high last year. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

And look at the percentage they were fighting for. And look at the fact that Diablo was there, stealing his votes. Diablo/Arthas is essentially the same as Mario/Link stealing eachothers votes because of loyalty for the company. Plus, you've refused to acknowledge how Arthas is a totally different beast this year, being the focus of the biggest game sales wise and hype wise of the fall. --- Score: 0/0 Today's Pick: Zack Fair > Wario Vote for Arthas Menethil in Character Battle VII!! |

Midna almost lost to a Tales character, and got killed by Scorpion Axel Steel just needs to be at the fodder line to advance there Again, expectations were set too high. Would you really take Axel Steel over Kratos Aurion? I sure wouldn't. Guitar Hero is known for its music, NOT its characters. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4!

Does Axel Steel have a personal story or conflicts? Does he actually
even say anything? Somehow, I can't shake the feeling that putting
faith in Axel isn't too far removed from putting faith in those DDR
dancers when that series was huge. Axel strikes me as the worst first round upset pick I've seen seriously discussed. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Oh, if Zack can actually beat Wario

that's only because they made so many versions; not a single one by itself outsold Smash. and Smash >>>> GH here. so sales is irrelevant once that's injected in your head. --- *is Dranze* Explicit Contest is my lord. |

| And unlike Grand Theft Auto, Guitar Hero is very well liked, meaning those sales actually mean something. It's not like Axel needs to be a NN threat, he's going up against someone that almost lost to a Tales character and was destroyed by Scorpion and Frog |

Sorry, but I have a very hard time believing the Guitar Hero franchise
