confident? I'm confident that Melee smacks Brawl into place. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |

I've thought that Melee would beat Brawl even before the contest started. And WW>TP, but hey. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

To be honest, I wouldn't be so surprised if Meele wins. It's considered to many as the "MGS4" or "HALO" of the Gamecube. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

And WW>TP, but hey. That's one argument you've got no ground to stand on. They've already been in a poll together, and TP smacked it around. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Blizzard rallying nearly knocked out SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE. Blizzard rallying couldn't save Kerrigan from Terra. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

HaRRicH (#058) Thats because Kerrigan isn't really cared about. Diablo and Arthas are the only two strong Blizzard characters. Ugh. I just looked at the bracket, and we could be in for a week-long spell of boredom before Kirby vs. Big Boss. Axel/Midna and Pac Man / ness could be interesting. --- Vote for Arthas Menethil in the Character Contest! http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

It'll be interesting to see what Snake does, and Squall winning matches
is always worth watching! Besides, superhuge Cloud blowouts can be fun,
too! Hopefully, Pac-Man/Ness will be interesting... --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I've honestly given more thought to Axel/Midna since the contest
started. Scorpion and Kratos both underperformed, and Midna wasn't far
away from Kratos. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I really don't think Scorpion underperformed. He ended up 2000 votes
ahead of Gordon by the time it was done, which isn't THAT bad. Sub-Zero
beat him by 5000 last year. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

On a side note, I've had an idea for when 1 on 1 matches (hopefully)
start back up. The Noble Nine + Vincent would be auto-allowed into the
contest, but excluded from the main bracket. The winner of the main
bracket would then face each of them in a Gauntlet-style series of
matchups, where the winner goes on to face the next member (they would
be ordered from least-powerful to Link). --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 10/5/2008 1:00:16 PM | message detail |

Someone's had an idea to do that before, but that would be really
boring, I think, at least once you get past the first few.
Vincent/Crono would be interesting. Then the winner vs. Mega Man would
be interesting. They probably lose to Sonic, who definitely loses to
Snake (or whoever you want to put there), Snake/Samus COULD be
interesting, winner loses to Mario who loses to Sephiroth who loses to
Cloud who loses to Link. Meh, too much obviousness. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I guess, but I still think it's more interesting than watching the
NN+Vincent plow through everyone in the normal bracket. With this
format we get fights for second; in 1 on 1, it's kind of boring. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Dunno if it's been brought up, but what do you guys think about X's
performance in relation to what we're seeing now? Mega Man will score
about 6% higher, but it's clear X had tougher opponents. Mudkip alone
makes sure of that. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

X is weaker, but how much weaker is impossible to tell until next round. It was Mudkip, after all. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 10/5/2008 1:09:33 PM | message detail |

Yeah, I don't take Mudkip's matches too seriously. Same thing with
L-Block and the Cube. It's like trying to compare Ryu's and Tidus's
performances here. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Ryu/Zero could be interesting as well. --- Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak - Soviet adage |

I'm still annoyed that DDD was stuck with Pit. He's one of those
character who had a good chance of getting a decent boost from Brawl. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

I have no idea who finishes ahead between those two. I'll probably just give them equal percentages. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Debatable, and DDD has the Kirby games to draw on. He could've made a bit of noise...but alas. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Yeah, it's annoying that Dedede and Ike got stuck with other Nintendo.
Would've been nice to see Dedede unrestricted so we could compare him
to Meta and Kirby. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

Does it really matter who wins between King Dedede and Pit? That match is LOCKED: Zero > Ryu H --- Contest Point Total: 51 Rank: 97%tile, Tied for 753 This Pick: Megaman > Nero |

We know it's Zero > Hayabusa. But since there's nothing else to talk about, might as well talk about Dedede vs Pit. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

I honestly, have no idea who wins that one, but I do know that the Brawl factor has been a bit of a letdown so far. Diddy sucked, DK sucked Olimar sucked Lucario sucked --- Contest Point Total: 51 Rank: 97%tile, Tied for 753 This Pick: Megaman > Nero |

| DDD and Pit are 2 turbofodder characters that are going to be hurting eachother. I wouldn't be surprised if Hayabusa and Zero both get over 40% |

| Olimar's sub-Banjo level and yet Mega Man can't
outperform his round 1 from last year despite it being three better
characters *and* having Mega Man 9 just release. this is a pretty bad
performance. gotta hope Nero is worth something, I guess. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Brawl might care about DDD more than Olimar, but who the **** cares
about DDD outside of Brawl? Yes I know this applies to Olimar as well,
but at least he has his own game. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |
| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/5/2008 1:51:35 PM | message detail |
| Also, odd that not only are Banjo and Olimar are eating away at Mega Man's percentage, but so is Nero. Could we be seeing a less vampiric Dante this year? |

Some Character, Falco "dominated" wander and Glados, but whoop. Ganon dominated, big suprise there. He would have won that one without brawl. Mario and Link? Are you serious? They aren't even involved in the brawlfactor. Do you honestly think that Mario and Link would have lost their matches without brawl? Stop joking. The brawl factor is the ability to lift NEW characters to this contest that are involved in brawl. You can't mention characters who would have already won easily.

And Nero being worth something wouldn't surprise me. He's no Dante, but
who is. In my experience most people who have played the game like him.
"Dante-lite" is still a pretty badass character. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

And with Nero kicking so much ass here, I'm really regretting picking
Kirby > Dante in round 3. Even in spite of Kirby having the sprite

Whatever man Luigi is in the same boat as Mario. DID you think he was
going to actually struggle against Roxas, Sho and Liquid? LUIGI BARELY
BEAT LIQUID I call that underperforming. Zelda did well but thats just 1 character. Find me a character that wasn't already a shoe in that did well and won because of brawl. Look at Olimar. He can't even get 12%. It's sad. --- Contest Point Total: 51 Rank: 97%tile, Tied for 753 This Pick: Megaman > Nero |

For what it's worth, we don't really know what to think of Wario and CF
yet and we haven't gotten to Fox's match, so we're not entirely sure
where Banjo's supposed to be at. We also don't know how strong Nero is.
That said, it remains both embarrassing for Olimar and bad for Mega Man
given what you said. How bad depends on where Banjo really is, I guess. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Dante make the division finals. Leon will most defintely hold him back.
