So i think its a pretty good assumption that Fox would likely hurt
Yoshi more then Sora hurts Squall... and that squall doesn't even
really hurt Sora much. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

I think I'd rather have Squall > Sora next round at this point.
Yoshi needs to absolutely crush Fox with SFF, I think, because he's
probably closer to Fox than to Sora in strength before SFF. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 66/84 --- T-287 (138 way) Bracket: Squall > Yoshi --- Vote: CATS |

Anyway, I'm calling Auron the favorite for first place in Round 2 if Sandbag moves on. He's been the favorite since before the contest even started, regardless of Sandbag success! --- mmm test icicles |

Looking at my bracket I'm so pissed about a bunch of things right now.
Most of which being MC > Kirby in the 3rd round. That's gonna look
awful when Big Boss takes that ball of puff out first round, huh?
Squall > Yoshi and thus Cloud > Yoshi getting me a little annoyed
that I didn't have the balls to go with my gut. Not that it should really matter with Block domination... and even if he doesn't win, Cloud will, so what the hell! Actually thinking about it... if Cloud is capable of taking down Link this year, there's a good chance someone with Link winning still wins the bracket right? I mean if L-Block > Cloud is the final result.. hmmm. --- mmm test icicles |

Sora held up extremely well against Squall with Aeris in the poll;
in the next round, with Sonic/Sub-Zero/Squall, Sora still managed to
beat Sub-Zero comfortably The match with Aeris hardly matters here, but beating Sub-Zero soundly does. Yoshi has a somewhat-similar comparison last year to make though: --Sora beat Sub-Zero by ~4,500 votes with Squall in the poll. --Yoshi beat Scorpion by ~2,700 votes with Mega Man and Samus in the poll. Sora should probably have the advantage in that regard, but then you have to consider that Squall is likely going to SFF Sora worse than Fox will LFF Yoshi. With that in mind...Sora/Yoshi for second place ought to be a great one to watch. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Mewtwo isn't beating Squall in round 3. If he couldn't get out of round
1 last year, h e ain't beating Squall, sff'd or not. And he's not even
in Brawl, so I wouldn't expect anything more then we saw of him last
year. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/tellie1218/Obama_for_President_550.jpg |

I don't think it guarantees him a spot there. Depending on how the
SFF/LFF beatdown goes I could honestly see Squall, Sora or Mewtwo going
through with Cloud. If we got to that point I'd love to see Cloud >
Mewtwo, but I don't think it's a lock with their noticable gaps in
strength. --- mmm test icicles |

Cloud > Sora is more likely then Mewtwo, since Sora shouldn't be SFF'd as much as Squall. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/tellie1218/Obama_for_President_550.jpg |

With the performance we saw Mewtwo last year that may be enough if his opponents are Cloud/Squall/Sora.

Good thing I wasn't one of those people then, huh? Seriously your
argument is so awful I'd be surprised if a 3 year old child with an axe
lodged in his brain couldn't formulate a better one. Trying to compare
what Mewtwo did with Ike not winning is completely ridiculous, and has
absolute zero bearing on Mewtwo's chances if put into that situation. --- mmm test icicles |

Squall is the strongest non-joke character outside the Noble Nine. y/n Considering he has no reason to have overtaken Vincent since there last showdown, no. They're ridiculously close though, and of course it could happen, as voter fluctuation could cause anything between two so close to begin with. There's no logical reason to really take Squall > Vincent though. --- mmm test icicles |

Karma Hunter (#488) Yes, because we haven't really seen much of him yet.

I see Mewtwo as another Lucario. Cool looking pokemon thats popular, yet struggles big time. Lucario finished a little ahead of Isaac. Mewtwo finished a little behind Bowser. Lucario was fighting with one other Nintendo character and lost to Altair by ~21%. Mewtwo was fighting with two other Nintendo characters and lost to Ryu by ~11%. Most Pokemon fans will tell you Mewtwo > Lucario... ...what are you doing? It's like you're trying to fight against logic and evidence. I find it pretty entertaining how a good chunk of the board is ready to label us old-time stats guys as "snooty elitists" when it's usually others who come in here and make ridiculous statements backed up by (what seems to be) all the confidence in the world.

Even if he were to have declined a bit from last year (probable), it was Bowser. Barring copious amounts of rSFF, no reasonable decline is going to put Mewtwo into Lucario's category. It's just not logical. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Are we really talking about Mewtwo, who put a semi-scare into Bowser, being in the same boat as Lucario? Not anyone who has the ability to formulate a semi-reasonable argument. And yes, Squall did boost from KH2, but Vincent has also boosted since their match as well. I kind of forgot that all that boosting happened after that match, and not before. So I guess it's possible that Squall boosted a little bit more. Seeing Vincent take down Crono though makes me still want to side with him. As impressive as Squall looked against Sonic with Sora in the poll with him, I have absolutely no faith in anything Sonic team anymore, especially in this format. --- mmm test icicles |

I just have this feeling Mewtwo is gonna bomb. He'll likely win round
1, but not by much. And he has really nothing going for him the last 7
years, so I can easily see him as a character who's just forgotten by
alot of people. He doesn't even have as much going for him as Lucario
did. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/tellie1218/Obama_for_President_550.jpg |

To play Devil's Advocate on Squall... Vincent boosted from DoC. Squall
had KH2. It stands to reason that considering how close they were in
2005, and that KH2 should have FAR more lasting power than DoC that
Squall > Vincent is more than a reasonable upset. I probably
wouldn't take it at the moment, but it's sexy as hell. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |
