Yeah, but he could have not embarrassed himself and at least not lose to WARIO. He's lower on the totem pole than WARIO. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Is Donkey Kong like Pac-Man in that he relies mostly on old-school
votes and collapses against someone with a good fanbase? Or is it more
Donkey Kong just likes to suck and would choke against three Tails
characters? And though F-Zero's earlier titles may have sold well, and though it's obviously the greatest racing series ever according to people with good taste, Falcon only has a presence in GX and the GBA game GP Legend (and I think Climax, which never got released here dammit). I think Diddy will be weak as hell, personally, but that won't matter considering his competition. Even with Falcon there, I expect Diddy to advance to Round 2, where he'll inevitably get fourth. --- 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 |

M_e_g_a_6_4 (#252) I think so, but it's never really been tested except against Mario and the L-Block four pack. If DK makes it to Round 2, we will see how he does against Mega Man. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

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. Falcon did fine against Crono and was against a more fan favourite Melee character. I may be underestimating Diddy, but I've never believed that he could do anything and I still have no reason until his match in about an hour. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 40/52 Today's Match: Ryu > Meta Knight |

Division 4: Round 1 - Match 15 – Alucard vs. Captain Falcon vs. Diddy Kong vs. Kratos Aurion Moltar’s Analysis Alucard Game/Series Known From: Castlevania 2007 Results: 2nd Place in Round 1 vs. Liquid Snake, Ness and Zidane 3rd Place in Round 2 vs. Master Chief, Yuna and Liquid Snake Alucard already? Crap, I just did a Symphony of the Night paody! Capt. Falcon Game/Series Known From: F-Zero 2007 Results: 3rd Place in Round 1 vs. Fox, Wario and Banjo Brawl Character #13, and stuck with another Nintendo character again Diddy Game/Series Known From: Donkey Kong Country 2007 Results: N/A Brawl Character #14, a new Nintendo character joins the fray! Kratos Game/Series Known From: Tales of Symphonia 2007 Results: 3rd Place in Round 1 vs. Scorpion, Midna and Agent 47 Has never won a match, but also is the only Tales character to not look like complete crap Well this is a weird match. You can actually make a case for all four characters to move on. First up, we have Alucard. He’s the one with the most chance to grab first. We saw him last year put up the fight of his life against Liquid Snake, and then bow out in Round 2 along with Liquid. Now, Alucard also struggled with Ness, another Nintendo character. Now I don’t know how Diddy and Falcon compare to Ness, but I would blame Alucard’s weakness last year on facing other popular Sony characters from other popular Sony franchises (hey FF and MGS). Alucard should look good here, considering Diddy and Falcon are Nintendo, and Kratos gets most of his love from Gamecube fans of ToS. Second place can go to one of the other three characters. Kratos has performed decently in the past. Last year he wasn’t too far off from Midna, but Midna turned out to be pretty darn weak. As for Falcon, we already know he’s low on the Nintendo totem-pole, as he was beaten by both Fox and Wario last year. If Diddy wasn’t here, he’d have a great shot at second. However, Diddy is here, and I actually do believe in him. I think Diddy will end up having decent strength. There’s been some Fox/Falco and DK/Diddy comparasions, and if that happens, then Diddy shouldn’t have any problems advancing with how good Falco looked. He’ll win the Nintendo vote over Falcon (if last year was any indication) and he also eats up some of Kratos’ vote. Now if Diddy can actually take first, I’ll be really impressed. Alucard is no push-over, and this time around, we should be able to see what he can really do. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Alucard > Diddy Moltar’s Prediction is: Alucard: 34% - Diddy: 26% - Kratos: 22% - Falcon: 18% Heroic Mario’s Analysis This is a tough one. The only bad pick you can make here is to take Captain Falcon, if only because we've already seen what happens to him when he's put up against other Nintendo characters, even ones that aren't all that strong. Alucard, Diddy, Kratos - any of these three could place here, though. I'm stickin' with Diddy on this one partly because of BRAWL and partly because it's bad news to trust a Tales character to win a match. That said, though, Kratos isn't all that bad. He kept it pretty close with Midna, which was more of Midna bombing relative to expectations than Kratos overperforming, but it's still notable. If Tales has a large enough base here he could take advantage of the SFF between Diddy/Falcon and steal second. It'd be close even if he did, though, which makes me reluctant to take him. Diddy's got a better shot at winning with room to spare than Kratos does. Add in that he's got the DKC games to help him outside of just Brawl and I think Diddy's in good shape. It'll be close for second, but I'm pretty confident in DK-lite getting by. |

| Alucard shouldn't have any problems here either.
He should be safely ahead of these guys, though if he isn't round 2 is
going to be something. Prediction: Alucard - 35% ; Diddy Kong - 25% ; Kratos A - 23% ; Captain Falcon - 17% Bracket: Alucard > Diddy Kong Vote: Alucard Yoblazer’s Analysis The most important match of the first round is behind us, and L-Block is looking golden to make it far yet again. However, there's still lots way more contest to discuss! Let's try to ease back into a state of normalcy with a much more ordinary, yet still pretty debated, first round contest. Up today are Alucard (Castlevania), Captain Falcon (F-Zero, Smash), Diddy Kong, (Donkey Kong Country, Smash), and Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia). This, unsurprisingly, is another instance in which picking the winner is a no-brainer, but picking the second place finisher is a challenge. Today's winner will clearly be Alucard. The goth Symphony of the Night star may have seen his popularity dip in recent years, but he should still be more than a match for two Nintendo underlings and a Tales of character. Alucard should move on very comfortably, and if he doesn't, then god damn what the hell happened to him. Don't let it happen, Alucard. Remember the plan. As I said, the battle for second place isn't as easy. Captain Falcon, a guy many of us figured could make waves in these contests, has twice proven to be a big dud. Unfortunate, yes, but he won't (or rather, shouldn't) be in serious contention here. Instead, our two primary competitors for the silver are Diddy Kong and Kratos Aurion, and each brings a few pluses and minuses to the table. To his credit, I think Diddy is safely the stronger of the two intrinsically. I hastily wrote him off at first (probably because I hate the bastard in Brawl), but he actually does have a few noteworthy games under his belt. Diddy was a very popular playable character in the first two Donkey Kong Country games (his name appearing in DKC2's title), which were, by their own right, two very popular and high-selling SNES titles. The little simian also made his presence felt on the N64, starring in Diddy Kong Racing (an often-overlooked million seller) and Donkey Kong Country 64. He took a break during the Gamecube era, but he's come roaring back with his inclusion in Brawl. The fact that he was kinda prominent and popular well before he was dumped in Smash (as opposed to, say, The Fire Emblem guys and Captain Falcon) could give him some decent strength. Diddy's main problem (and the one thing that can send Kratos through) is the fanbase split with Captain Falcon. Diddy should get the better of it, but both these guys are true-blue Nintendo, so Falcon will be slurping up some support. Will this SFF open the door wide enough for Kratos to sneak through? I don't think so. While Kratos may be the most popular Tales of character, he's still... just a Tales of character. Lloyd already did worse than most people anticipated, and I simply don't trust Kratos given the natural strength advantage I expect Diddy to hold (and given the fact that Kratos has never really come close to winning a match, but whatevs). The possibility is still there, of course (especially if Alucard eats more yummy percentage than I'm expecting), but I'm liking Diddy's chances. Alucard - 34% Captain Falcon - 20% Diddy Kong - 25% Kratos Aurion - 21% Lopen’s Analysis Interesting match here... a lot of combinations exist but most people at least agree that Alucard for first is all but a lock. And with good reason... Alucard has outperformed Donkey Kong in these contests, and Captain "Marle Distorter" Falcon and Kratos Aurion are known to be weaker than Alucard as they've been to a few barbecues before. |

As for Captain Falcon vs Kratos Aurion? Captain Falcon's history involves getting tripled by Crono and beaten by Wario
of all characters in a four pack last year. Kratos Aurion's record
isn't much better, but it's clearly better... he came kinda close to
Midna last year in a four way match, and lost to Diablo with around 43%
of the vote. Both defeats, but respectable defeats at least... more
than Captain Falcon can say for himself. Add in the fact that Captain
Falcon might get SFFed by Diddy Kong and there's pretty much no reason
to pick Captain Falcon to place, here, even though he should come out
with a decent percentage. The true difficulty in this four pack is in placing Diddy Kong. Now, I've heard a lot of people say "Diddy's cooler so he should be stronger than Donkey" but man Diddy's been in like 1/12 the games DK has. And you know, even that aside I don't really think Diddy is cooler. Big ass gorilla vs squirt with baseball cap... *shrug*. DKC2 fanboys are pretty loud it seems, so I'm thinking it's them spreading this idea. I doubt Diddy amounts to much. Of course, he doesn't need to considering he only needs to beat out Kratos Aurion. (well, he does if you think he's going to beat Alucard) But with Falcon there to drain his Brawl support, and the likelihood that Diddy is going to be at least a few notches weaker than Donkey Kong (who wouldn't exactly destroy Kratos Aurion to begin with) I had to take Kratos Aurion for second place here. Diddy's range is pretty large, though, so this match is in no way a lock. Lopen's prediction: Alucard – 33.18% Kratos Aurion – 25.23% Diddy Kong – 23.25% Captain Falcon – 18.34% Transience’s Analysis well, this contest is over. it doesn't matter if it comes in first or second here, L-Block's got this contest unless something Really Weird happens. Vincent/Crono arguments are now pointless since L's definitely going to place. Mario/Samus/Link/Vincent (Crono) is also done for. get ready for the Block's reign -- now no different than Link or Cloud since it's going to first in every match from now on. yay! oh well, no big deal. let's move on. today's match features a fading PS1 character, two Brawl guys (shock and awe!) and a third Nintendo-lite character. Alucard is arguably stronger than any of these guys *before* the three-way fanbase split, so he *should* have first locked up unless Diddy is, as we've come fond of saying for whatever reason, 4REAL. but I'd take Alucard over Donkey Kong in this situation (and maybe heads up), so I've got no problem letting Alucard skate into first here thanks to the split. now, second. the first thing we can do is count out Falcon. dude lost to Wario, who got absolutely demolished by Fox and then lost handily to Meta-Knight in round 2. Falcon is about as weak as you can get being solely from Melee. the one advantage he has over Diddy is that he's in Melee and Diddy isn't, but for him to advance he's going to have to hope Diddy completely bombs and Kratos falls, because Kratos has been equal or stronger than him every year they've made the contests. Kratos is the only Tales character of reasonable strength. he's underrated in the sense that Tales characters are all-around bad, but Kratos is actually about equal to Kefka. he came close to Midna last year, and no matter what you think of Midna she isn't pure trash. Kratos is also a nice pick here because he's the most independent of the bunch, the only true RPG character of the four and doesn't share the same game as Diddy and Falcon do. if the fanbase splits hard here, Kratos may advance, and I won't be surprised if he does. that said, Kratos is still very tied to Nintendo, as his game is one of the only notable Gamecube titles. |

| it's tough to go against Diddy though. Donkey
Kong-lite is pretty accurate, though he's got a serious knock against
him in that he's not iconic or in Melee. Diddy's got far more fans than
Falcon does outside of Smash, though, and I'd expect him to be at least
above the fodder line, which is more than Falcon can say. I won't be
too surprised if he bombs, but I can't see him falling below Falcon
here. his main competition is Kratos. too much Nintendo Donkey Kong Country's decent F-Zero isn't transience's prediction: Alucard with 33.56%, Diddy Kong with 27.45%, Kratos with 22.00%, Captain Falcon with 16.99% Ngamer’s Analysis Darn you Bloooock! But let me clear up something from yesterday before we begin: I don't hate joke characters. Really, I don't. Block and the Dog turned this into an exciting match, WCC forcing either Tidus or DK to choke away R2 will be pretty funny, Hogger knocking out Laharl and Ramza will be worth a laugh, and if the Sandman can actually rise up and punch Magus out of the tourney it will be hilariously embarrassing. My problem is that thanks to the nature of the format, these jokes AREN'T jokes anymore- instead of being worth some giggles and small R1 excitement, 4 ways only make them more dangerous as the competion around them becomes more legitimate. And that's just silly. Examples: that great Vincent vs Crono rematch everyone's been looking forward to seeing? Sorry, now its going to be a meaningless fight for third. That epic duel for a spot in the Final between Vincent and Mario? (Where Mario is weakened enough by Link and Samus to be in serious danger.) Yeah, that's been canceled and replaced by an obvious Link/L-Block advancement. Past the first round these jokes don't make the tournament more fun, they just turn once-interesting matches into clear results thanks to their dull static joke strength. And that's why we need to return to 1v1s in 2009. But enough on that subject! Let's thankfully move on to a non-joke match, shall we? Starting with what we saw out of these folks last time around... Last Known Values Alucard - 21.09% (2007) Kratos A - 18.02% (2007) Diddy - new Falcon - 15.25% (2007) This is one of the most unique setups we've ever witnessed, really. You've got Alucard, who has clearly taken a couple steps back since his 2003 glory days and is now only a little ways over the fodder line, by all indications. Then there's Kratos A, who was possibly hurt somewhat by sharing the GameCube with Midna; account for that and he's probably right there at the fodder line. And of course Falcon, who got triply held back by Fox/Wario/Banjo, and is probably right there are the fodder line otherwise (as he was in '06). And the newcomer is none other than Diddy, who by all accounts ought to be a little bit under DK in strength and... whoa, that'd leave him just a little over the fodder line as well! What to do when all combatants are right next to each other in strength? Well you account for LFF of course! Diddy was planning to pack some newfound punch in '08 thanks to Brawl, but how much will that series be able to help him when three-time series vet Falcon is going to be right there to scoop up much of the support? On the other hand the Capn't has already proven he's near the bottom of the Nintendo food chain- could Diddy really be on a lower rung? The most likely result would seem to be that neither completely ruins the other, but both do enough damage to drop them to the bottom of this pack. |

| That leaves us with Alucard- fortunately, Ally's
already been in a similar position, and he came through with flying
colors! I'm referring of course to the last
time we saw a R1 fourpack between seemingly equal opponents, where
Alucard essentially tied Liquid Snake and both of them beat out Ness
handily, even though he had come in with the advantage of being the
only Nintendo character in the mix. Tonight there will be no other
PSX-era challenger to limit his potential, so I'd be shocked to see
Alucard finish anywhere but first. The bad news is, this forces me to
do something I'd promised myself never to attempt again... I'm putting faith in Tales!
Hate to, but Kratos Aurion is clearly the "cream" of the crop when it
comes to that series, and with Diddy probably not being able to
Ulti-blow-him-out even 1v1, the collateral damage from Captain Falcon
ought to be just enough to allow KA to squeak by. That makes plenty of sense... so why do I feel so awful about picking it? Don't know, but better turn those thoughts to numbers before I lose my nerve! Potted and stirred and: Alucard - 31.85% Kratos Aurion - 24.21% Diddy Kong - 23.79% Captain Falcon - 20.16% I sure hope an outright Crew victory is part of The Plan- I could really use it at this point. Ngamer Says: Alucard > Kratos Aurion Guest’s Analysis - greatone10 Let's see. You've got the Son of Dracula, a futuristic racecar driver with a superhero complex, a hyperactive chimp who is fond of jetpacks and popguns, and an angel swordsman. Quite the eclectic group isn’t it? But what really makes this match interesting is the company affiliations. Alucard: According to Mike Tenay and Don West, Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards. Alucard of the Castlevania series is a contest mainstay who boasts wins over the likes of Duke Nukem, Kirby, and Kratos, and is currently one-half of the closest result ever. Alucard can also say he has never been snubbed in any contest, which shows how loyal his fans are. Even if his other opponents weren’t fighting against each other for their fanbase, Alucard would still likely be powerful enough to pull off first place in this match. Captain Falcon: Falcon has tried to show us his moves for the past few contests, and it has worked about as well as Falcon Punching a Bob-omb. This time though, he has about as favorable a set-up as he is going to get. The F-Zero series may not be as prominent as the DKC series, but what he lacks there he needs to make up for with his exposure in every Smash Bros. game. One thing he does have going for him is that he has awesome presentation in the Smash series. His moves look cool, his stages look cool, his music is cool, and he sounds cool. However, the problem is that when Falcon was in this type of SFF situation before, he Falcon Failed. In 2007, he was in an SFF affair against Fox and Wario and the only good thing that can be said about Falcon’s performance was that he was closer to Wario than he was to Banjo. |

Diddy Kong: This is Diddy’s inaugural contest match, and he has
a damn good shot at advancing here. In fact, he could take first if
Falcon raced somewhere else. Diddy is not only one of the many Brawl
characters in the bracket, but he is also the fan favorite and co-star
of the Donkey Kong Country series, which includes the undisputed
greatest game of all time, DKC2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. Sure you can say
that other platformers like Mario were more influential, but DKC2 is
just plain better. As for Diddy himself, he's quite popular as well.
Diddy Kong is such a fan favorite that absolutely no one complained
when Donkey Kong was given the Princess Peach role and Diddy took
center stage. The only things Falcon really has going for him is that
he was in all three Smash games as opposed to just Brawl and that the
DK series hasn’t been relevant for years, going from the best 2-D
platforming conceived, to an awful 3-D collect-a-thon with an amusing
theme song, to gimmicky bongos and rhythm games, to horrendous GBA
ports of the DKC games. Still, it’s better than F-Zero, which was never
really relevant in the first place. By the way, the title of the
greatest game ever created is not Diddy Kong's Quest, it's Diddy's Kong
Quest, as in Diddy's Conquest. Now pick your jaw off the floor. Kratos Aurion: What really makes this fourpack interesting is the presence of Kratos Aurion, the fan favorite (and probably the only contest worthy character) of Tales of Symphonia, which was at one time a Board 8 favorite. Now you’d have to torture half of Board 8 to get them to say anything positive about ToS. But the people who still like the game (and series) speak with their nominations, and as a result, Kratos gets the best chance he will ever have at Round 2. The hope for him is that Diddy and Falcon compete for the Nintendo fanbase while Kratos slips in the backdoor. This would be nice and all, but there‘s a big problem with that logic. ToS was released on the RPG-starved Gamecube and as a result, a big part of his fanbase is being compromised here as well. There’s also the fact that Kratos is not that strong in the first place and it is rather questionable that he wins this match even if he loses no support to Diddy Falcon (Captain Kong?). It is better to rely on one’s strength than another’s weakness. I’ve typed way too much about this god damn match, so I’m only going to waste two more sentences before the obligatory percentages. Alucard wins this match easy while Diddy wins the Nintendo war leaving Falcon to compete with Kratos for scraps. DKC2: Diddy’s Kong Quest is the greatest game ever made. Alucard: 34% Diddy: 29% Falcon: 20% Kratos: 17% Crew Consensus: Alucard > Diddy is 4REAL, but Ngamer hops on the Lopen Upset Special of Alucard > Kratos |

You know, that "Nintendo-lite" comment from transience made me wonder.
This is the first time a ToS is really going up against a Nintendo
character (not really counting Midna and Tom Nook, although both have
victories over Tales characters tbqh). Do you think Kratos has the
potential to be affected a little with two Nintendo characters in the
poll? --- Currently playing: GTAIV, SSBB, MP3, Apollo Justice, FFIVDS, Dracula X |

I'll say.. early vote to Falcon, night vote to Alucard, day vote to Kratos. not sure how Diddy goes. if he's like Kong, he's a night guy. Kratos is definitely "Nintendo-lite", a la Mega Man or something. Kratos has little support outside of Nintendo. that game sold because it was one of the few RPGs on the Cube. there's a reason Kratos and Lloyd are miles ahead of Jade and Luke, and it's not the quality of their respective games. --- xyzzy http://users.tpg.com.au/112358//85454546braidav.gif |

Block won outright? Well, we know who the winner of this contest is now! Too bad about the Vincent/Crono and Vincent/Crono/Mario matches though. Oh well, at least Block doesn't ruin too many good matches. --- sig |

Wait that listing for 1v1 matches has Tidus vs Shadow as first with
1800ish. Didn't the Squall vs Vincent match cap out at around 500 votes? --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

I care less about the block winning the contest and ruining my bracket
than I do about him ruining potentially awesome match-ups. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |

Round 1 Division 4- Match 3 Alucard One of the most unusual midcarders and contest veteran Alucard returns and is given decent bracket placement and a chance to make some noise in the second round. Captain Falcon Low guy on the Nintendo Totem Pole Diddy Finally, god. Kratos Aurion How many more of these losers do we have to go through.... Analysis: If Falcon was an unknown here, I'd say you could debate it somewhat, but given that we've seen Falcon bomb not once, but twice, I think it's pretty safe to say Diddy advances here in style. He's been kept out of the contest for FAR too long. And Kratos? Despite how bad Falcon looked last year, that was nothing compared to how he and the rest of his fail crew have sucked. TuRtLe's Prediction: Alucard 35%, Diddy 30%, Kratos 20%, Captain Falcon 15% TuRtLe's Bracket: Alucard > Diddy TuRtLe's Vote: Diddy |
