Zack has my respect as far as being a legit contender, but it
remains to be seen whether he beats Shadow or escapes this division. This is the big question, though after seeing Zack build up such a fine lead I think he has a shot of beating Shadow. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

i always thought zidane had a decent chance. not enough to pick him,
but enough that i wouldn't really be surprised. i know i'd take 10-1
odds betting for zidane at least. --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/19, before Captain Crow Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

Oh yeah, and at this rate Zack beats Shadow easily. Link is far, far
more likely to hurt Shadow than Zack, and if Zidane is there I doubt he
stands a chance. Really, this Wario is probably a little stronger than the one we saw last year (as we expected). Zack is just performing way better than expected. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

Zack isn't beating Shadow easily unless Link hurts him...and even then,
it could still be close if Zack's fairly reliant on his pic and
benefits from apathetic votes. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

Oh, and to whomever was asking around about Axel: I went around school
asking the Guitar Hero freaks if they knew who Axel Steel was off the
top of their heads. Only a few knew who he was, and only two could
describe him. The ones that did know him say they never use him or just
don't like him. Just throwing that out there. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

| Midna/Axel Steel is way more interesting than Zidane/Shadow. Think of it this way, Shadow got 14% against Cloud and 2 of the strongest non-Nobles. Zidane barely got 19% against Alucard Liquid Snake and Ness. |

is Axel Steel some kind of cover character? i just can't picture the face,i mean i never played GTA4 but Nikos face is easily remembered as is say Altair's. But anyone think Steel will pull a CJ?Popular game with very weak characters. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

| I asked my room-mate the same thing the other day
and he was able to name probably the majority of GH characters off the
top of his head...and he's not particularly good at it or plays it a
lot. He's not big on Axel Steel, but he still named him first too. I dunno what to really think about it..... --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/18/2008 1:27:51 PM | message detail |
| Axel isn't really going up against any competition though. I wouldn't put him much higher than the fodder line, but that's more than enough to put away 2 of the weakest characters from last year's bracket. |

| LeonhartFour | Posted 9/18/2008 1:34:30 PM | message detail |
| If Zack can get over 43%+ here, I think it's safe
to say he's not ENTIRELY pic reliant. He can get a good chunk of votes
on name value alone. Also, looks like Zack's still doin' good with the day vote, while Cecil and Jade are bombing, as expected. Wario's actually still going up because Cecil and Jade are bombing that badly. I asked this in the last topic, but I don't think anyone replied to it: Does anyone think Mario and the L-Block could old school LFF each other? What about Pac-Man and the Block? Or can only another joke entry LFF it? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Damn this topic. i had Zack going to the quarters when I first filled out the bracket, but I changed it, because almost everyone seemed to think that was a stupid pick. I still have him beating Shadow next round, so if he is as strong as he currently looks, I'll at least get some points. But I'm sure glad I switched to Nero > Olimar. Brawlfear seems to be the most overrated factor ever. --- A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job. That's just a fool. - Reno, FFVII |

But I'm sure glad I switched to Nero > Olimar. Brawlfear seems to be the most overrated factor ever. I'm still not sold on either Nero or Olimar. Obviously, Olimar stands to gain a lot from Brawl, but I don't hear many people talk about him. Nero is basically the DMC4 Raiden. He might serve as a mini-Dante proxy since they look very much alike, but who can say? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Olimar is NOT going to gain a lot from Brawl. People forget that to gain from Brawl you have to be liked and used in Brawl. Snake will gain. Ike will gain. Meta Knight will gain. Olimar? Not so much. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

Olimar will gain simply for the sake of exposure and because he was
very low before Brawl. I'm not saying he'll break the fodder line or
anything, but he won't be as weak as he was in SC2K3 either. Nice match pic. Looks vaguely familiar. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |
