look, let's be honest. Axel only wins if he gets joke voted.

........WHAT?

That makes no sense whatsoever. Why would be be joke voted, and why do you honestly think someone whos the face of the most popular franchise in gaming atm won't get votes outside of joke votes?

I mean I concede Midna may beat him, but it'll be very close, and Edgeworth won't be in this whatsoever.

Do you disagree that he's the face of the most popular franchise in gaming right now? If so, I can show you many sales charts to prove my arguement.

I've got Cloud > Miles...

...I don't want to defend the pick, but I'll explain why I originally took it: I liked seeing Miles get 9.13% on Link and Phoenix get 10.71% on Mario than seeing Midna get 12.57% on Samus. If Cloud's taking well over 50+% (if not 60+%) of the votes and the lawyer-crew could get 9%/11% on Link/Mario, then taking Miles didn't feel so bad to get 14%-17% here.


Since then, I've thought about how much better Midna's other opponents were than Miles's (Scorpion beats Bidoof, Frog kills Agent J). It's worth noting that Link/Mario were more likely to SFF Miles/Phoenix than Samus to SFF Midna, but...hmmm. I ultimately feel like it was a mistake to bet on a PW-character over a LoZ-character.

Axel Steel's in the mix too, but I don't really fear him. He's got a chance, but he doesn't seem like somebody people ever got behind before this match was announced nor somebody people are big fans of. If that's the case, apathy is gonna kill him against Cloud.

of course Zack beats Midna with Cloud in the poll. The question is can Cloud beat Midna with Zack in the poll? Debatable, but I'll give BHZ the benefit of the doubt.

This is my projection:

Cloud - 60%
Axel - 15%
Midna - 15%
Edgeworth - 10%

Axel and Midnas 15% can go either way to who is second. Its a toss up imo. I got Axel, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Midna advances.

Edgeworth's kinda interesting since he's probably gonna manage 10% no matter what. given that all he needs is 15 and Phoenix looked good, you can make a hopeful argument for him. it's a serious longshot, but anything's possible.

Plus, I expect the majority of brackets to have Axel second due to most brackets going towards the more casual known characters in the past, so he could get bracket voted as well.

Eh, I won't argue for it and I'm probably voting for Cloud tomorrow anyway. I do remain hopeful for it because it's not unreasonable...but it's a long-shot as you said, and if Axel is better than we expected then we can kiss Miles's ass good-bye.

How much difference do you think it will make whether Miles Edgeworth is called "Miles" or "Edgeworth" in the picture?

I hope he gets Edgeworth

actually, Edgeworth would need some strength out of Axel to advance... he's not gonna get 20% of the vote. he needs there to be a pretty decent split among the non-Cloud votes.

Calintares | Posted 10/9/2008 2:45:19 PM | message detail
I think he might be hurt a bit if he is called "Miles." that name have no recognizability whatsoever, everyone that have played his games know him as "Edgeworth"

he was a victim of this last year too, not saying he would have beat Bidoof had he been listed as "Edgeworth" but he would probably have performed better.

I imagine other characters that goes by their last name would suffer as well, e.g. if Steiner (from FFIX) ever made it in he would suffer if he was called "Adelbert" even if that is his first name.

The same obviously goes if characters that usually go by their first name was called by their last name, a lot fever people would vote for "Strife" than for "Cloud" or "Aran" instead of "Samus"

Problem with alot of those characters is that their most well known name isn't really long and hard to fit in the size of the picture.

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/9/2008 3:21:13 PM | message detail
Oh man, I'm loving seeing a topic filled with Squall talk! But as an avid Squall fan, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you: I don't see any way Squall advances in round 3 with Cloud there, regardless of who's in the match with him. And I take Squall to advance if he's got anything resembling a chance. He doesn't. Cloud and Squall are as tied at the hip as two characters from different games can be. Squall will always have to deal with Cloud comparisons, and such like things.

As I said before, if Yoshi's there, I can't see Squall edging him out. Squall and Auron are on relatively equal ground, and I'd say Yoshi and Ryu are as well. Cloud is going to SFF him harder than he did Auron, and so Yoshi will advance. If Mewtwo's there, that means Sora is, too, which gives Squall another person to deal with LFF from. If Squall could be there against Mewtwo without Sora somehow (like if miraculously Fox gets second next round...), I'd give him a great shot. I just can't see it.

And gimme Squall > Vincent every time! Fanboyism for the win!

By the way, I thought about taking Edgeworth for second tomorrow, much for the same reasons that RPGuy stated. Couldn't pull the trigger on it, but I'll be rooting for him.
