Ness, you're done for...

...alas.


So, with Mewtwo/Pac/Midna, is there any chance Midna can upset Pac-Man? Not like it'll matter point-wise, but hey.....

Eh, its pretty even between them even with SFF for Midna. Could go either way

Ness would probably beat Midna 1 vs. 1. Alas, Mewtwo steals almost all of Ness's votes (Smash) and Pac-Man picks up the classic icon slack FTW.

it's amazing what other Nintendo characters will do to Ness. they've done it three or four times now.

Ness's fanbase is pretty small, and he's really just a well-known Smash character.

I expected Mewtwo to really surprise people and dominate this match.

But not like this. Not only is he at about 40%, but he's doing this with Travis Touchdown at 16+%! I thought maybe Mewtwo could push 40%, but only if Travis was sub-10% level fodder.

That Mewtwo is dominating like this despite Travis soaking up a good chunk of the votes is damn surprising, even to me.

I'm glad though - people will finally give Mewtwo the contest respect he's deserved for a while.

Also it makes me feel a bit better about Bowser beating Luigi (I'm a Luigi fan, but a Bowser fanboy).

Like I said before, if Mewtwo dominated this match, it would make this division tons interesting. And indeed, as Jim Ross would say, business has just picked up.

For Midna, has anyone mentioned the pic factor for her? I don't think this year's Midna was the same as last years.

Remember that last year, she got that hideous headshot. Her full body picture is much more feminine. I think it makes her stronger.

Link still looking more impressive than Cloud though.

I can understand the quirky appeal for people who feel they aren't different enough, but the gameplay was extremely lacking.

Yep, because anything you don't agree with must just be deluded fools trying to cover up their insecurities.

Of course Master Chief is going to annihilate his fourpack, but I really dig that Kain pic.

Hopefully he'll end up being stronger than Cecil. I think there's a real good chance of that.

That's not a very good Kain pic because he doesn't have his lancer in view.

I highly, highly doubt Rydia would be stronger than Kain. I don't understand why someone would think that.

I think Kain is sort of like FF4's Mini-Auron. Except Cecil isn't disliked like Tidus. But Kain is the badass of the game.

I wonder if Mewtwo can hit 43%. Probably not likely - 41.5%-42% is more realistic. But Travis should bleed to everybody during the day, and the majority of that will go to Mewtwo. And Mewtwo will smash everyone with the ASV.

Granted whatever pic Rydia gets, as long as its not Lettuce rydia, will get her to be the strongest FF4 character, xstats wise at least.

I didn't really factor in stats. I just figured Ness would suck as his fanbase is mostly Smash, and Mewtwo steals a lot of that away, as well as Pac-Man benefiting from the lack of non-Nintendo options in the poll.

I think most peoples downfalls is that they assumed Pac Man gets Nintendo SFF, when thats just a myth, since he gets dominated by gaming icons, not Nintendo.
