So I was looking through the last topic, and I saw this: Nintendo de-boost non-confirmed nintendo de-boost don't doubt it That's me quoting HM quoting MM. Why don't we just say "Nintendo decrease"? Or " Nintendo blow" if you want to stick with the less formal way? --- A surveillance camera!? http://img.imgcake.com//lastcalvin&hobbes.jpg |

Mario/Luigi/Yoshi/Bowser Arg, I'm still annoyed about that. X and Yoshi should be swapped, just so we could see this. Anyone take Yoshi > Mario here? --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

I don't think Yoshi quite squeaks out a win there. Now with a strong
outsider to further isolate the Mario voting base, I think Yoshi has
it, but raw Mario characters I think Mario still edges him out. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

| I'd say yes unless it turns out Mega Man and X
have functionally the same strength against outside opponents, in which
case the distinction between X and Mega Man is kinda pointless. I will say that X isn't doing that well right now. Passably, but remember Luigi had more than this at this point last year against a pack that wasn't that much weaker. Granted, Mudkip stuffed more early this year than R1 last year but yeah. Mega Man > X is looking likely at this point. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Indirectly, maybe, but I still think the fanbase sides with X in a
direct match. Smiling Mega Man in one corner, badass Mega Man with the
coolest letter in the alphabet at the end of his name in another. Seems
kinda obvious to me; maybe I'm missing something here... --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Lopen Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, Cloud Who else Cloud > Yoshi here. How in the world could anyone not take Cloud>Mario there? Yoshi may do well in trivial polls of the day, but those are not like contest polls at all. Mario would rape Yoshi's support in a contest 4-way poll. tranny Mario and Yoshi, that one's easy. Don't think it's that easy. Mario would rape all of them, the question is who does he rape least. I'd lean towards Bowser, because we've already seen head-to-head Bowser hold up better than people expected; but it is very debatable. Luigi would almost definitely get obliterated worse than the others, so it comes down to Yoshi vs. Bowser. And if Link can StompFF Yoshi to the bowels of hell, imagine what Mario of all people does to him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'm not sure how you can say that with so much confidence. The reason
Mario does so much better in 1v1 contests relatively to how you'd
expect from the multiway Mario polls is because the matches are 1v1.
Mario's got more appeal to people outside the Mario fanatics than Yoshi
does. I really doubt there's anything that says "oh this is a contest
match time to get serious let's go Mario" like you're implying. However, with Yoshi being the favorite among Mario fans and Cloud there to vaporize the outside support, I'm siding with Yoshi. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude.

Lloyd's gained about 0.5% since an hour in, MMX's gained about 2.5%. Tom Nook has actually gone down
0.25%. Based on %s, you figure MMX should gain about 3x Lloyd from
Mudkip, and Lloyd tends to be a morning/day vote guy, so most gains
he's probably making now are from Mudkip imploding. So I'd say MMX has
gained around 1% from the night vote, which Mega Man does well at. So right now I'd probably say he lines up with Mega Man I guess. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

"I definitely think X has a really good chance of even going so far as embarassing Mega Man 1v1" Or maybe having roughly the exact same contest strength as Mega Man? Hmm?

Mudkip's vote trends imply to me blatant vote-stuffing rather than
rallying. Always have. L-Block was at least consistent with his
crushing. That being said this is probably mostly just legit morning vote, here. It's a pokemanz and I stand by that a lot of its strength is legit.

X and Mudkip are doing very well. I don't know if you can take anything
out of this as far as how well joke characters will do here because I
think Mudkip is in an entirely different category. Also, I'm surprised
at how badly Nook is doing. Maybe Mudkip is taking away his joke votes?
Who knows? By the way, I'm one of those guys who'd vote X over Mega
Man. I probably would've voted for Lloyd had it been the original Blue
Bomber. Stats from yesterday: Mario – 50.00% Princess Zelda – 37.78% Knuckles the Echidna – 34.05% Fei Fong Wong – 25.78% Right now, X is getting 73.59% on Lloyd, 84.36% on Nook, and 58.88% on Mudkip. Mudkip is getting 66.06% on Lloyd and 79.02% on Nook. Lloyd is getting 65.93% on Nook. Fun Facts: Zero got 73.25% on Lloyd in 2005 and 66.01% on him last year. Strange how you can get X = Zero and Zero = Mudkip at the same time. Nook got 59.86% on Zelos last year. Luigi got 62.39% on Mudkip last year, with Pit and Tingle in the poll. Either Mudkip is stronger this year or X isn't quite up there with Luigi here. Don't know if you can draw any definite conclusions from this. Either way, Mudkip has had one strong character and two crap ones for competition in the first round both times. I think X is far enough ahead of Mudkip here not to have to worry about losing to him next round, and Mario didn't seem to do much to Zelda anyway. I think either one of them could beat him. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

By the way, Megaman X is doing pretty similar as Luigi did last year
right? I guess Pit and Lloyd are around the same strength, maybe just
that Pit looked worse last year because of all the SFF and Tingle and
Nook are just lol. --- The Roman Empire called. They want all their words back. - Turn SSBB FC code - 3007-9626-4713 |

Impressive, Mudkip is still above 30%. With MMX looking to decrease
during the day vote later (already falling a bit with the morning vote
I see), Mudkip is going to be looking good after this match (oh god why) Lloyd and Tom also going up at the expense of X too. Not surprising but kind of interesting. --- Moltar Status: augh Lloyd/Mudkip/Tom/MMX - Bracket: MMX > Mudkip - Vote: Lloyd (18/28) |

I honestly don't think Mudkip will fall that much later on since he was
fine with the ASV last year. If he remains above 30% that will be
really impressive. He seriously could pose a threat next round with
Mario/Zelda/MMX LFFing each other. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

It should be about the same as Luigi and Ganondorf last year (That is,
probably minimal). After all, it's just a different Mario Bro. and a
different Zelda character this time around. The thing that concerns me about Mudkip is that it will probably get a steady stream of votes, regardless of who's in the poll. With three strong characters, Mudkip could capitalize, much like L-Block (or even Pikachu, I suppose) did last year. Also, what is Bacon's infatuation with rematches? We're probably going to have Samus/Frog for the second year in a row (and third year out of four), Samus/Ganon, Auron/Sephy (Why?!), Cloud/Squall (WHYYYYYYY?!), Snake/Mega Man IV, Mega Man/Zero, Dante/Leon, Squall/Sora, Auron/Sub-Zero, Sonic/Sub-Zero... Is it that difficult to spread out 128 characters so we avoid rematches? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Well, Crono/Vincent is fine with me since it was close and still debatable this year. But yeah, no reason to have Jill/Ocelot again this year. If Jill had won last year, I'd understand, but Ocelot SHOULD beat her more easily this year than last year, especially if Liquid is any indication. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I'm concerned for MMX next round: he's doing worse than Luigi was last
year, and Mario only ended up with 62% on Zelda yesterday- he'd beat
Luigi worse, though MMX should of course stand up better against SFF.
And as much as I don't want to even consider this, if MMX and Zelda end
up close, that gives Mudkip an opening to advance. --- Character Battle VII --- Score: 24/28 --- T-51 (246 way) Bracket: Megaman X > Mudkip --- Vote: Tom Nook |

pre-brawl Pit was probably high-end fodder and liked brought Luigi down
a bit. Tingle is.. Tingle; but he was high-end as well. Toom Nook we haven't had a read on in awhile but i wouldn't take him over either character. Lloyd i'd struggle with on both of them. --- *is Dranze* Bowser/Cain/Geno/Phoenix - Bracket: Bowser > Phoenix - Vote: Geno (12/20) |

Yeah, I'm liking Zelda's chances a bit more here. X isn't even really
doing as well as Luigi, and Mudkip is doing better on him. He's just
got a high percentage because of how bad the competition is. And Luigi
was likely hindered by Pit and/or Tingle last year. I was kinda
thinkin' X would only be a high midcarder. Nothin' to be ashamed of,
really, but I think he might be on the level with Zelda at best. We'll see. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I still think X looks good for the next round (really, I'd consider
Mudkip a bigger threat than Zelda, but this is little more than
conjecture at this point). Of course, I wish I could figure out how
much of this Mudkip support is comprised of joke votes, cheating, and
legitimate Poke love. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Unless X gets SFF'd, I'm not too worried about him losing to Mudkip.
Luigi and Ganondorf both were still able to beat him. Of course, we'll
see what Mudkip does facing three big competitors. Last year, Luigi and
Ganon were helped by the fact that the 4th guy was Vergil. We'll see
how loyal the Mudkippers are. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

This seems like a strong Kippy. I'd love to say that this is a good
sign of things to come for my Joke-ified bracket, but it could be that
X is just a cut or two below standard Mega Man. I'll keep from making a
judgment until I see him against some real competition. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
