If Boss gets his saluting pic, I think its more then enough to beat
Kirby, because Raiden is the weakest of the reaccuring MGS characters
in this contest, so I don't think he'll be much of a factor, enough to
make up a 10% difference, at least. Plus, if Boss didn't advance, I'm
sure this would be the most anyone got first round and DIDN'T advance
past round 2. --- Master Chief > Sonic ...... Believe http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

ZenOfThunder (#455) Raiden is the only one who can do anything to MC's percentage. If Raiden hits 30%, maybe Chief doesn't hit 50%. But if he gets about 25% or so like I expect, Layton and Kain combined won't be doing more then 25% --- Master Chief > Sonic ...... Believe http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Chief's pack this year may be way weaker than his pack last year, but
remember, Yuna/Vercetti/Parappa together are far stronger than
Sub-Zero, too. And I'm very happy to see that Magus looks better. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 70/88 --- T-258 (129 way) Bracket: Cloud > Midna --- Vote: Cloud |

It's worth noting that Raiden should
boost a lot from last year. He was unrecognizable to many last year,
and now MGS4 is out and the freshest big-name game out. Raiden should
naturally aim high tomorrow... ...but I still really doubt he can put on a performance like Yuna could last year, and I wouldn't take Kain/Layton over even Vercetti/PaRappa. It's on MC to show whether or not he can keep the momentum he had last year or not. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Also, bracket voters are gonna be what will help Chief again this year
alot. Justl ook at last years bracket for round 1:
http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Master_Chief_vs_Yuna_vs_Vercetti_vs_PaRappa_2007 It was highly debated among B8 if Yuna or Chief would be first... then Chief goes and has a 91% prediction percentage for first, basically making it a joke. And Chief should have even higher prediction percentages this year, moreso then even some noble 9ers. I'd be SHOCKED if the majority of brackets didn't have Chief > Sonic, which would be Sonics reason for demise. --- Master Chief > Sonic ......

Raiden's the character most likely to boost from MGS4. He turned from a
whiny pretty boy into a badass ninja. I wouldn't be surprised if he and
BB equally split the MGS fanbase, assuming he gets a Salute pic or some
other pic that doesn't scream Solid Snake proxy. --- "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 |

Jokefear is well founded and has yet to be proven wrong. Except people don't even know what is considered a joke and what isn't. You guys think any item from any game would perform up to L-Block's strength, which is wrong. As of right now, there's only four "joke" characters that performed well. Those being L-Block, Bidoof, Mudkip, and Weighted Companion Cube. If you forget about L-Block, you would notice that the latter three characters are all big fads either on GameFAQs (Bidoof, which also explains why he's weaker then the rest) or on the rest of the internet (Mudkip and Cube). The reason I said to forget about L-Block because it's a special case, where he became a fad because of his extremely lucky bracket placement last year. Sandbag does not have anything to it's name other then being an item from the Smash Bros. universe. I say it's less popular then the Cube because the Cube is loved on the internet, while Sandbag is seen as an item in SSBB and nothing else. I don't mean that more people know the Cube more then Sandbag. Really, there's two explanations for "JokeFEAR". If it's the one everyone here believes it is, then Sandbag could very well beat Sonic in their match. If it's the one I'm thinking of, Sandbag has no chance. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

I just realized... Chief should have no competition for the day vote
tomorrow, since MGS are kinda weak during day. Knowing Chiefs day vote,

I think Big Boss is looking to be a little under Squall, personally.
Squall beat Yoshi by just over 12% while BB is currently beating Kirby
by just over 11%. They've each got similar percentages in their matches
since their opponents are bad, Kirby will probably go up some more by
the end of the match, Kirby likely gets more of Lucas's votes than BB,
and Yoshi > Kirby. Squall kicked ass and Big Boss is doing something similar, but all the little factors point that Squall > BB...even when he's looking like Solid Snake. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

I'm still confident that Nana will beat Ratchet. Nana was in Melee and
Lucas has Kirby stealing whatever small support he would have gotten
from Brawl. These last two divisions seem to have a low amount of
playable Brawl characters, only two per division and Sandbag. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 75/96 Today's Match: Kirby > Big Boss |

I think Big Boss is looking to be a little under Squall, personally. There is no way in hell a new game and a picture is making someone who lost to Pac-Man become the 11th strongest character in these contests. Squall would kill Big Boss.

Haha. Why is this topic downplaying Big Boss's performance here? I saw some people questioning whether he'd defeat Zelda?
No chance in hell Zelda beats Kirby down like this, even forgetting
they're both Nintendo. This is a Squall/Vincent like beatdown from Big
Boss. Also, I like how everyone saying Chief will disappoint this year is basically pulling a decrease out of their ass that has no reason to occur. Why would Chief drop several percent back down to normal levels in the face of Halo 3 having had more time to be digested (reviews were mixed, but I'd expect GameFAQs to be the place where you hear the absolute worst about it, given its history. At worst, he doesn't drop.) but more importantly, the X-Box 360 getting stronger and stronger on this site. It just doesn't make sense, and it reeks of grasping for a reason to pick against Chief, probably because picking him over the noble nine "doesn't feel right' or something. I dunno. But whoever said that about MC getting a low percent tomorrow was right. Look, I have him beating Cloud and I only think 48% is necessary to do so. Chief isn't about blowing things out to flex his muscle. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

As of right now, there's only four "joke" characters that performed well. Those being L-Block, Bidoof, Mudkip, and Weighted Companion Cube. If you forget about L-Block, you would notice that the latter three characters are all big fads either on GameFAQs (Bidoof, which also explains why he's weaker then the rest) or on the rest of the internet (Mudkip and Cube). The reason I said to forget about L-Block because it's a special case, where he became a fad because of his extremely lucky bracket placement last year. It's got nothing to do with that. There's also no way I believe, not even for one second, that Cube's status as a block of non-living matter didn't have anything to do with him winning. You are seriously overestimating Portal for whatever reason. WCC is not that big of a "fad" anywhere, and GlaDOS losing to Falco handily should be proof enough that Portal's status as some great game isn't the reason why it won. L-Block residual "lol a block beats link" status wears off on its peers, which are Cube and Sandbag. When it's Sandbag's turn, just remember this conversation. Remember what you said about it, and then be sure to explain to me why it beat Magus. --- :> |

Why did Link beat Cloud in 2004 despite Kingdom Hearts not magically disappearing? Of course someone is going to be stronger right after the realease of a game than a year later when 30 other A+ titles have come out in the meantime. Characters don't just increase and stay at their new level when the get a new game. They peak immediately after the release and steadily decline until the next release. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

GlaDOS losing to Falco handily should be proof enough Have you played Portal? GlaDOS is my favorite character, but even to most Portal fans she's completely unrecognizable. Now, if instead of pictures on the front page, she got a voice snippet or something like that, I'd guarantee she would be as strong, if not stronger then L-Block. Portal's status as some great game isn't the reason why it won. You're right. It's status as a fad is the reason why the Cube won. Sadly for the bag, it doesn't have anything like that in it's favor. When it's Sandbag's turn, just remember this conversation. Remember what you said about it, and then be sure to explain to me why it beat Magus.
