I don't know if it's really best to judge Banjo by last year. Not only was he in 4th, but he was in a match with 3 other Nintendo characters (until B-K 3 he pretty much is a Nintendo character.)

man, how is it possible that every character looks bad?

I guess Banjo is the exception, but still, everyone else looks really bad.

Yesmar | Posted 10/4/2008 9:19:31 PM | message detail
he is this year as well.

But Mega Man is still much just a Nintendo proxy, while all of Banjo's main games were still second party under Nintendo. He had much more of a reason to be SFFd by Fox, Wario and Falcon than he would with Mega Man. And even if Mega's SFFing him that's still a lot better than being SFFd by 3 different characters.

I don't get why so many people had Olimar placing.

I mean, BRAWLFEAR for most every character was justified in one way or another. But Olimar isn't even popular in Brawl.

Figures Olimar would continue the Brawl newcomer trend.

Is he looking to be stronger or weaker than his 2k3 self against Mario?

I've just noticed that including today 5 smash characters have fallen in five matches (Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, Ike, Donkey Kong, Olimar) and tomorrow it's very likely that we'll have Pit and Dedede fail to place.

...I usually don't take many upsets, but the ones I've had so far are really burning me. Most are BRAWLFEAR-related, too, so...yikes.

actually it's a shame to see an awful "character" like nero do well

i quote character because he's just a whiny copy/paste of dante

i'll just pretend the voters can't read and think he's dante or something

(you can tell i wasn't happy with dmc4)

Nero isn't great, but when your opponents are Banjo and Captain Olimar, it's hard not to be a better "character". Then again, character means little now. Banjo and Olimar are humanoids, thus they have failed.
