To be fair I'm sure most of them just lucked out on the order again.

And there's the Snake I know. One thing's to be sure, I'd be stunned to see Ryu or Zero top Vivi come next round. Looks like the lil' guy's finally gonna make it over his big hurdle.

Sackboyfear has died a quick death.

It's sad what these joke results are making me think!

I think Sackboy proves that a joke needs to be well-known to succeed.

i.e. Hogger ain't doin' nothin'

can't wait to see the day vote here. MGS, FF9, Resident Evil and a character that doesn't exist.

I'm fully expecting the poll to drop to like 94% come daytime

First off, I don't think Sackboy is really a joke vote. Where's the joke there?

Second off, jokes need to be inanimate to win votes... so yeah, Hogger's doomed.

But Sackboy's not a joke!

I'm still extremely skeptical of Sandbag doing anything. I mean, beating Magus is one thing, but I think it's too accepted by the Ninty fanbase to really be thought of as a joke rather than a low-tier Brawl character.

Uhh... First off, Sackboy isn't a joke. He's the face of a popular game comnig out. He's as much of a joke as Any other cute looking character.

Second off, Sackboy isn't even in a game thats out yet. I don't know how you can compare a game with 10 million players to a game with 0 players.

I got Big Boss > Kirby cuz of Nintendo SFF. But if Jinjo is competing there for advancing, it shows that an actual character joke can do well too.

But Sackboy's not a joke!

Some would say the same about the Weighted Companion Cube.
But it's funny, it looks funny, and it has a funny name. So it gets the joke vote.

(And that's as much as I'm willing to dredge up the Is-WCC-A-Joke argument, so don't bother.)
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/6/2008 9:29:26 PM | message detail
Considering how badly Wesker's face is being pounded in, I prefer to think of this as further proof of a general Square boost (or FFIX boost, either way) than Snake decreasing.

3 Nintnedno characters, and Big Boss who won't be SFF'd at all. Big Boss is a soldi midcarder who can definently pass Kirby in round 1 due to t he 3 Ninty characters all SFFing eachother. I'd be shocked if he doesn't unless he gets old man picture.

Trying to ignore the fanboyish logistics for a second on probably both of our parts, I can't trust a piece of fodder as bad as Wesker.

Let me put it this way:

Do you believe that Nero is close to Vivi, Sackboy to Olimar, and Banjo to Wesker? I highly doubt it.
