As good as DKC2 was, Jungle Beat and DK 94 kick the crap out of it. And F-Zero GX is one of the most complete racing games ever And DKR sold just under 5 million, DK 64 actually outsold it --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! |

Just face it. EAD Tokyo did DK better than Rare F-Zero was over 2 million if I recall. F-Zero X was a million seller and so was one of the GBA F-Zeros. F-Zero GX sadly only did around 700k something cause people are stupid. DKR DS sold over a million as well despite being a crap port --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

I really have no faith in Diddy. He's guaranteed to be weaker than DK,
and DK is pretty much ass considering how important a Nintendo
character he is. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I don't see how Diddy is guaranteed to be weaker than DK. Diddy has
more character appeal underneath his hat than Donkey has ever shown in
his near 30 year existence. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Since when has that mattered? We've seen two (I think) cases of a 'fan
favorite' being stronger than the main character, and they were both
extreme cases of Auron/Tidus and Kratos/Lloyd. Diddy is not nearly as
favored as those two characters are, appears in much less games, and
doesn't have his name in the title. He's not even very popular in
Brawl, so he won't get much support there. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Diddy Kong fans are what I like to call the vocal minority. See: Lloyd Irving vs Zelos Wilder. Although DIddy won't be as comparatively weak as Zelos it to Lloyd, yeah, pretty much agree with this. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I think DK's lack of character appeal certainly explains why he can't
seem to live up to his potential. And while Diddy has not been in as
many games, does that matter so much? I mean, not being in Mario Party
34 must have been real damaging for his popularity. I think Diddy does
manage to at least get into most of the ones that are actually well
liked, and he even has a few popular games to his credit that DK is not
in (Diddy's Kong Quest, Diddy Kong Racing). The only DK really has
going for him is the original Donkey Kong, which is so high on the
old-school totem pole that it nearly choked against Duck Hunt. I'm not saying Diddy is going to be more popular or rank higher in the x-stats, but I don't see why he has to be lower. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

The thing is, are the game's Diddy have been in really that popular?
DK64 got mixed reviews, Diddy Kong Racing is completely overshadowed by
MK64, and DKC2 is too old to be that effective. No, DK has simply been
more relevant than Diddy is and always will be, and I can't see Diddy
being anything but a good bit below DK. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Yeah, neither Diddy nor DK are very appealing whatsoever. Part of the
reason DK is so bad. Diddy is a little better, but not much. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I said numbered series. Spinoffs aren't nearly as popular or relevant. And really, if Chris is the main character of the series it's by a slim and insignificant margin.

Zero certainly looks like he's stronger than X And I'd compare Diddy/DK moreso to Kratos/Lloyd. I'd never heard of Zelos until he lost to Tom Nook, but all the Fails fanboys wouldn't shut the hell up about Kratos in 2005. |

Match XV: Alucard vs. Captain Falcon vs. Diddy Kong vs. Kratos Aurion Information: Name: Alucard Game/Series From: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 2007 Results: 2nd in round 1, 3rd in round 2 Alucard was on the losing end of the closest match ever losing to Liquid Snake by a mere 3 votes. Alucard however got his revenge by smashing Liquid Snake the next round, winning by about 9000 votes. What caused this drastic change still remains a mystery. Name: Captain Falcon Game/Series From: F-Zero series 2007 Results: 3rd in round 1 Falcon was stuck in an all Nintendo match (might as well call Banjo Nintendo) last year and with the F-Zero series not being a popular series Falcon only had Melee to fall upon, which isn’t helpful against Nintendo characters. Falcon has a Nintendo opponent, but will his popularity in Melee and to a lesser extent Brawl be enough to overcome him? Name: Diddy Kong Game/Series From: Donkey Kong Country series 2007 Results: Did not enter To quote a user from last year, “Diddy was rallied and fought hard to get every nomination and when the bracket was released he failed to enter. With the announcement on the Brawl site Diddy was then given a blank cheque, two weeks too late.” Diddy Kong is a huge board favourite though that may not translate into contest strength. Name: Kratos Aurion Game/Series From: Tales of Symphonia 2007 Results: 3rd in round 1 The final Tales of character though he is considered to be the strongest one of the bunch. With two Nintendo characters in the poll the Tales of series may get its first win since Lloyd in 2005. Analysis: Despite L-Block’s match the excitement of the contest still continues with no breaks in sight for at least a few more matches. This seems like a classic first place is decided yet second is being fought over by the other three competitors. As said before Alucard is the huge favourite for first tomorrow. He may appear weaker since his days in 2002 and 2003, but he’s still much above the Melee line which is where the other three characters will be fighting around. Any surprise Brawl support will be split between the two Brawl characters. Alucard may not look impressive, but he shouldn’t have much trouble here. Many people don’t seem to give Captain Falcon the time of day in this match. He may not have looked that well in the Nintendo hierarchy, but that’s because Falcon was stuck against probably one of the few characters that is more favoured than he is in Melee. I think being a fan favourite in Melee and Brawl will give him the advantage over the other Nintendo character and the only thing he has to worry about is the Nintendo split. Diddy Kong is the other Nintendo character in this poll and the huge favourite at coming in second. Before the board became obsessed with the little guy many users didn’t give him the time of day. I still don’t think he’s that strong and he is most likely weaker than Donkey Kong, which makes me think why the board loves this monkey and hate the other one. Also the little monkey isn’t that huge of a fan favourite in Brawl compared to Falcon. I don’t see Diddy Kong doing anything except bringing Falcon down. |

| Kratos is the strongest Tales of character that
we’ve seen, though that’s not saying much. Tales of Symphonia may be
drifting off into the depths of gaming history, but Kratos can still do
one final stand before dying off. This will probably be the best chance
for the guy to advance to round 2 and all he has to do is hope that
Falcon and Diddy LFF each other enough to let him squeeze through. Unlike the consensus of the board I’m betting that Diddy Kong is not going to do much of anything and this will be a match mainly between Captain Falcon and Kratos Aurion. Alucard of course gets first. charmander6000’s Bracket: Alucard > Captain Falcon charmander6000’s Prediction: Alucard – 33.57%, Captain Falcon – 26.37%, Kratos Aurion – 24.47%, Diddy Kong – 15.59% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 40/52 Today's Match: Ryu > Meta Knight |

Chris will only be the "main" guy once RE5 comes out. Resident Evil was

| It boggles my mind that anybody is considering Falcon here after his complete failures in 2k6 and 2k7. I could understand heavy debate if the Cap was untested, but we've seen him flop, TWICE. Diddy would have to be in the area of almost getting doubled by DK to lose to Falcon, and that simply doesn't make ANY sense to me. I suppose I'll just laugh when this blatantly obvious, common sense pick goes through. |
