the whole 'who cares about him though' notion shouldve been thrown out the goddamn window WHEN HE GOT HIS OWN GAME. the 'who cares about him though' notion for FF7 was thrown out by Vincent anyways. He was a Secret Character who did absolutely NOTHING in the game.....and he got his own game. Not to down Zidane though. Either Shadow got obliterated by Link, or Zidane did get help due to....Dissidia hype? Mabe. Well anyways, Zack Kills, AKUBA the Hedgehog Sucks, and im not looking forward to division 4. --- Warning, there is a bear right behind you. Ride Him. |

man, what the hell are you guys doing Altair probably falls in the daytime. "casual" (which seems to mean "characters regular people likes and that board 8 generally doesn't care about) doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be a day vote god. check out Niko, the casual god from yesterday, or Duke Nukem, King Casual. plus, it's Pokemon, something we KNOW is a day vote king. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

If we take the Cecil/Jade/Wario/Zack match and the x-stat estimator on
gamefaqscontests.com, hold Jade constant at 5.44% from last year, and
assume no SFF, we get: Cecil: 13.79 Wario: 24.11 Zack: 28.9 Which would mean that Wario did indeed go up from Brawl, and Zack is pretty damn strong. I wouldn't take this too seriously given that the assumptions involved are questionable, but it's interesting. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Biden/Obama...er, I mean Obama/Biden '08! |

I'm starting to be a believer in this Zidane upset. He lost a whopping 1% going from Alucard/Liquid/Ness to Link/Shadow//Luke. Somehow I doubt that the addition of Zack will make him lose support if the addition of Link caused him to lose 1% Zidane gets 18% of the vote. Link managed 60% of the vote last time. Wario and Zack are stronger than the previous competition, so give him 55% this time. That leaves 27% of the vote to split between Wario and Zidane. Wario only barely needs to break double digits for Zack to be left in the dust. --- "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 |

a constant Jade is the last thing I want my assumptions to be based on. :) though it's probably not a bad start. I'm feeling Altair = Hayabusa here.. pre-NG2 Hayabusa anyway. Zack's probably around there. Nukem's probably around 22%ish, Marth maybe 23 or 24. Lucario's probably borderline fodder, Isaac's around 18, etc. just random numbers I felt like slapping on. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

static character is never smart, and we're trying to derail that
argument regardless. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Zidane's match with Crono ended up with Zidane getting a similar number
of votes that he got in both his 2007 and 2008 matches, if you want to
use Zidane being static. I'm interested to see if he does the same in
Round 2. --- SNES Reviews - http://mega64.20ehost.com/ "[Wylvane]'s the type of guy we probably need more of around here to keep the place interesting." ~Smurf |

I'm starting to be a believer in this Zidane upset. I wouldn't assume Zidane's got that 18% guaranteed, but I don't think he'll be too far off from there. I think Zack's gonna clear 20% pretty easy, though. And Wario ain't breakin' double digits with Link hanging around. He'll be replacing Jade there. --- let's mosey |

okay, I'm staying out of this Zidane war, but he's not static. that's

Let me end this argument now. In R2, there will be no Buster Sword in Zack's pic. He loses to Wario, moving on. ...Kratos/Diddy/Falcon? Nintendo losing a step helps Kratos as well. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

For the record, I think Zidane will stay static, but Zack will easily outdo that anyway, so it's kind of a moot point. I'm definitely hoping for a Zidane upset, but it's looking like Zack has this wrapped up. --- SNES Reviews - http://mega64.20ehost.com/ "[Wylvane]'s the type of guy we probably need more of around here to keep the place interesting." ~Smurf |

Zidane's definitely not static, but I do think 2007 VS 2008 for him
looks great for him. At the same time though, I don't think Zidane
would beat Wario by a lot. So...I'm not sure what to think. I gotta
give Zack the favor, but Zidane could be fun to watch. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Diddy/Kratos A. was never about Brawl in my mind... maybe it would have
given him a slight edge, and still can, but if that's why you were
taking him to beat Kratos A. then you were going about it wrong from
the start. I have Kratos, and even with the BRAWLSUCK, I don't feel
much better about it, if at all. Hell Diddy plays a bigger role in the
DKC series than DK does. --- can you dig it? |

| Even with the disappointing Nintendo performances, and the fact that Diddy will be splitting with Falcon for the Smash support, I can't see him losing to Kratos, all bias aside. I can see Diddy being even stronger than DK, and getting most of his strength from the DKC games. |
