MM. Though plenty of people will tell you MMX would win in a direct match-up, I think they're crazy. I'd never hesitate to take MM to outdo MMX in any contest situation.

well, MM's recovering.. sorta.

I like how Olimar cut right after the Brawl hour is over. I didn't think you could be this weak while being in Brawl. seriously.

At this point, I'd take any Nintendo related character over Olimar. Heck, I'm pretty sure Tingle could get a victory here.

Because it's a cooler looking blue robot with a cool letter at the end of his name. I mean, that's why I'd side with X. Classic Mega Man's smile makes me want to kick him in his little Mega teeth.

Ok now I'm 100% sure that Ryu Hayabusa WILL win over Zero tomorrow.

Why? Because I got 56 points but I'm still not on the leaderboard, and since this was the most obvious match in the bracket I doubt I will be there tomorrow, so obviously Hayabusa will upset Zero tomorrow just so I won't see my name on the top 50 list.

I have this feeling WCC vs Tidus is gonna be a nail biter again in round two... think that the WCC draws heavily from the Portal fanbase while getting the joke support as a mere backup, making it less static than the L-Block.

We'll see, though.

It depends. Joke characters have been known to get a constant percentage despite the field's collective strength/weakness. If Cube can manage give or take 30% he can upset Solid Sprite or LFFed Mega Man.

__Smurf__ | Posted 10/5/2008 3:40:21 AM | message detail
Cube's percentage is far too rigidly in the joke character range to be disregarded. His trends of storming at the start and dying through the day only kept ahead by rallying is quite apparent too. As well look at the two other characters in the poll, Donkey Kong and Tails are two of the most recognisable faces in gaming and yet people chose Cube over them so that's a very promising sign for him being able to hold that kind of % in upcoming matches.

But we'll know next round by how close Tidus is to him. If cube has legit strength by all rights Tidus should probably win.

I don't think Teedus stays as close as he did last time. Mega Man is going to be a bigger burden on him than DK and Tails combined ever would be. Nero being from the PS world probably doesn't help either.

See when I made the bracket, I didnt know Lucario was going to suck it up that hard (kinda knew Diddy was going to though) <_<

Figured Nero wasnt liked at all and it being Banjo and all, BRAWLFEAR shouldve done it smoothly.


then I see Lucario bomb horrendously. Then I see I DID put Olimar in 2nd, and then I put down my head in shame.

I could see Nero getting murdered next time, I really think he's getting 2nd here because of the suck of the two alternatives rather than on merit.

Yeah. Well, the main reason I took Lucario to be not crap is because I thought he had a Pokemon fanbase. Apparently I was wrong about that.

Olimar has already proven in the past that his Pikmin fanbase didn't amount to anything, so it was pretty gimme knowing that no one likes him in Brawl. Lucario and Diddy just made me feel a lot better about it, and made me figure he'd lose to Banjo.

Zylo the wolf | Posted 10/5/2008 3:50:49 AM | message detail
To be honest, I only expect the L-Block to be only "joke" that actually can cause any real damage.

Mudkip? The guy who lost to both Ganondorf and Luigi when they SFF*D each other? Nah Mario and X is out of his leauge.

Cube? Everyone in this half of division is weak as hell except Mega Man in this format, I wouldn't be surprised if Nero outdid Tidus... Once MM, Snake and Zero/Hayabusa is there, he's dead.

CATS? Yoshi and Squall are two of the strongest characters that isn't in the noble nine. And we have seen CATS many times before. Damn you Ansem!

Hogger? I have no idea how popular he is, but you can't play Tetris or Portal and not notice the L-Block or The Cube, but I'm certain that there are many WoW players who don't know him. Ramza on the other hand is the main character from a game that went 50/50 with MGS in the game contest, and I would expect it to do so again in a rematch thanks to the recent PSP remake.

Sandbag might advance from round 1, personally I don't see what's so appeling with it, but Sonic and Auron should be enough to knock that thing down.

Nana will lose to Sephiroth and Tifa.

Imo DK and Tails being there hurt Tidus more than the CUbe. Tidus, DK and Tails are 3 casual gaming names, WCC isn't. He shows resemblance to joke votes voting trend but also shows resemblance to "underground character" voting trends so we can't be 100% sure what he is.

Personally, I am still iffy about Sandbag, even with the Block and Cube impressing. Really, do that many people care about the Home Run Contest in the first place? Sure, it's cool in his role of punching bag while waiting for a Brawl online match, but with Brawl sucking in this contest and Brawl's online mode also being terrible, I don't know how much that helps it. Plus, it has a set of eyes, which gives it some human features, and the only jokes that have show real strength are the completely inanimate ones.

Yeah, I think Sandbag and especially Hogger look too much like normal characters to do well with the joke fanbase. Sandbag being sub-Master Hand wouldn't surprise me.

Although, Master Hand being somewhat of a force in this format wouldn't surprise me either. His worst loss was with 40% of the vote, remember. Who knows how much better he would've looked if Ganon beat him instead of Robotnik.

Also, Mega Man/Tidus/Nero/WCC.

Nero will completely die and Mega Man will kick ass, somehow I think this is better for Tidus than for WCC?

And imo Sandbag goes out in round 1. Sonic is not going anywhere but first and Magus didn't do that bad last year.

Master Hand was no scrub even in 1v1. Add a much more benefecial format and even Master Hand would take down Magus with Sonic there, never mind the voter shift and Brawl.

Hogger though I'm still concerned about because unlike Sandbag, Cube and L-Block there's nothing amusing about him for anyone outside of his core fanbase. But WoW is big enough, he's going to be a prime rally target and hell...It's Ramza and Laharal, you don't have to do a lot to beat them.

Ramza isn't suck fodder, though. FFT did well in the games contest and 43% on Kirby isn't terrible at all. Even if it is 2004 Kirby. I'd be pretty shocked if Hogger even came close.

Though I suppose Laharl/Ramza SFF is a possibility.

FFT ain't getting any younger though, and I think this format really works against him, as his fanbase is more likely to have been exposed to some of the other characters represented, like Dante who is also a Sony entity, and especially Laharl.
