Even though his game calls a Nintendo system home, we can logically assume that Travis doesn't really appeal to that traditional fanbase. He's up against three pure Nintendo characters (let's not argue that Pac-Man is anything but), so he should already be getting a nice boostie from the three-way fanbase split. Factor in the fact that he looks great and has an awesome name, and I think he'll can do very well. I personally expect him to hit the mid-teens, which is where Pac-Man could also wind up.

And I didn't say that Travis would advance, just that he may edge out Pac-man or Ness for third if either one bombs. Learn to read.

I don't expect Pac-Man to get less than 20% unless Mewtwo and Ness do a number on him. I really doubt Ness does, and there's a good chance Mewtwo won't affect him either.

Uhh Pac Man isn't a Nintendo character in any way. He probably has more Sony games then anything. He's just a classic video game icon that gets SFF'd by other classic gaming icons.

I know you didn't. I was talking about Yoblazer who was saying Travis would advance, and at least you weren't as bad as him.

Oh, I won't disagree about GH probably beating some of those older, niche games that the 2004 games contest was rife with. Problem is, if we have another properly run games contest next year, I expect to see very few of those games in the bracket.

It would beat current games as well though. Unless you're calling a properly run bracket to have every single big name FF, Zelda, Mario, SSB, and Metal Gear game, Guitar Hero would more than hold its own. I wouldn't call it a "one and done" type.

Of course, Pac-Man got SFF stomped by Yoshi, who in turn got SFF stomped by Mega Man. That's an even more unreliable number.

Its not Nintendo. Its classic gaming SFF. Pac Man only appeals to classic gaming, and Mario is more relevant to classic gaming then Pac Man. Nintendo is just so closely tied to classic gaming people assume its Nintendo SFF.

To be honest, I think Pac Man gets sff'd the least here. How many kids growing up playing pokemon even know who Pac Man is? And barely any of Ness' votes are from Earthbound, so its the kids growing up playing Smash Bros that knew him.

If you're counting on Mewtwo to SFF Ness' SSB votes, you're not thinking things through. Ness has been in all 3 SSB games, was godly in the first and is decent in Brawl. Mewtwo was only in Melee and was terrible in it.

Didn't say that. I'm just saying most of Ness' fans are from Smash Bros, so Ness isn't exactly popular with the old school gaming fans either. I don't see any character who can really SFF Pac Man with old school gaming votes here.

Still, kids like you weren't gaming when PAc Man was relevant, like in the early 80s. So to you he's just a character from the past, before you got into gaming.
