Round 1

Division 6- Match 4

Mewtwo


One of the most impressive newcomers from last year returns to the field. Will he be able to deliver a repeat performance?

Ness

One of the least impressive characters last year, he wasn't even IN his match against Alucard/Liquid despite it being him against 3 PS1 stars.

Pac-Man

With no icons holding him back, can he deliver another board 8 upset?

Travist Touchdown

lol turbofodder

Analysis:

Well, I'm still a bit shell-shocked about Midna doing so good and Axel sucking so much, but the show must go on.

Here we have another situation where my opinion differs from the board's, but I feel that this has more factual basis than Axel > Midna.

Mewtwo should have no trouble taking first here, but the level of domination is important for division finals as to how much he will be hurting Yoshi.

Second place should be a nice battle between Ness and Pac-Man, 2 characters we were comparing for a few years, and since Brawl has evidently done next to nothing for most characters, Pac definitely has a shot here. Especially with Mewtwo hurting Ness.

TuRtLe's Quick Prediction: Mewtwo 40%, Pac-Man 27%, Ness 23%, Travis 10%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Mewtwo > Pac
TuRtLe's Vote: Pac-Man

Ah well. I hate both Pac-Man and Ness, so this isn't too bad.

Look at Mewtwo, the worthy Pokemon. He looks like the massive favorite over Midna.

Hey, after seeing Axel, Tim and Sackboy fall under 8% before the freeze, Travis staying over 15% is a freaking miracle.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/10/2008 9:06:53 PM | message detail
Well, looks like the whole Pac-Man folds against instantly recognizable characters argument is true. Or Mewtwo is just beating Ness into the ground. I guess we don't have to worry about Mewtwo being a dud any more.

this is similar to Fox getting 40whatever percent on that Nintendo pack last year - not really indicative of his real strength. we'll need to see him in round 2 to get that.

Mewtwo is real though. probably around Fox's level, too.

Eh, I figured Ness would do a better job than this standing up to Mewtwo with his superior Smash pedigree. I guess it's just a simple case of "why vote for Ness when you can vote for Mewtwo?" I think the guys voting for Pac-Man want to look mature or something. lol

Anyways, it's nice to see Mewtwo proving himself, even if he's benefiting from SFF.
