Honestly, losing points to Guybrush will be the only feel-good loss in this division for me. Because I <3 Guybrush. --- Biolizard28: The cream of Fire Emblem fanboyism. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7315/ocelotpartycd1.gif |

| Man, at this rate, Altair = Duke Nukem and Lucario is way below the fodder line. I knew he'd be weak, but I never figured he'd be this weak. This is hilariously pathetic. I have to say, Lucario managed to outdo Midna as the worst Nintendo character debut. |

Altair is currently doing 5% better on Guybrush than Duke did with way weaker opponents. Lucario was losing steady updates to Guybrush Threepwood. Tell me he isn't bottom feeding fodder with a straight face. |

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3247&type=2&seconds=60&max=0 Well, Guybrush's popularity has died down. No chance of even 3rd now, if there ever was a chance. :'( |

Isaac cut, gg Lucario Guybrush may be stronger than last year (he was up against two PC characters, remember), and Isaac and Lucario may be LFFing each other...but they're still within 7% of GUYBRUSH. Barring some weird stuff, Lucario is just plain weak. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

What the hell Guybrush winning updates against Isaac and Lucario. Definitely didn't think he'd get all the way up to 15% overnight. As I figured, Altair is still going up with the morning vote (wow), while Isaac and Lucario are kind of splitting it, Lucario barely increasing his lead while doing so. I still can't believe Altair is doing so well. Assassin's Creed was just so augh. Isaac is doing as expected, and Guybrush should fall into predicted territory. Lucario...Pokemon + Brawl flopping = wut. Looks like the only ones that are going to have strength are the older ones like Pikachu and Mewtwo + ones with fads. --- Moltar Status: augh Altair/Guybrush/Isaac/Lucario - Bracket: Lucario > Altair - Vote: Lucario (6/12) |

Again, people may be mistaking him for a joke entry. I honestly believe this Who are you talking about?

So yeah, either Guybrush got an invisible boost somehow, or Lucario and Isaac suck horribly. Not that this says much for Altair. >_> --- Biolizard28: The cream of Fire Emblem fanboyism. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7315/ocelotpartycd1.gif |

Altair/Lucario/Isaac or Duke Nukem/Gordon Freeman/Ike That's a tough choice, actually. I would take Altair over any of them alone but Duke, Gordon, and Ike are all much stronger than Lucario/Isaac. Actually, it's not that tough. Duke/Gordon/Ike is stronger. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

| More seriously, Lucario's doing terrible. Maybe
Isaac deserves more credit than we've given him, but there is no doubt
that this is mainly Lucario failing after seeing how well Pikachu did
last year. Altair is looking good here, but I wonder how much of this
will translate to the next round. Comparing with Guybrush (which is always
the best thing to do), Altair's currently expected to get 73.74% on
Guybrush compared to Duke being expected by last year's numbers to get
72.42% on Guybrush...which was with Gordon in the poll. I'm keeping my odds on the Duke right now, though I could see Altair widen the gap by the end of the match. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

In hindsight, I probably should have given the sales of Assassin's
Creed more respect in this matchup, but I didn't think a popular
Pokemon playable in Brawl was going to lose this match. So much for the
popular bit <.< --- SSBB FC: 4425-1156-3590 NOMINATE KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA! |

I'm not terribly familiar with the series...but are there any Pokemon
that remain constantly relevant through-out the series? It seems like
most that get some attention are only relevant for a game...maybe two. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Pikachu will always be the face of the series, and Mewtwo will always
be known as the most powerful and coolest Pokemon there is. Other that that, the three original starters (Charizard especially) should still be popular to a degree. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

hmm. traditionally the morning vote on weekends is the day vote, meaning this might be close to done for Lucario. generally the last six-ish hours has more of a night tilt, so if that's true Isaac may be able to stall and come back towards the end. not likely, but possible. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |
