People who know of Cube may care a lot about him than people who know of Sandbag do. And Cube is likely stronger on this site. But come on people, let's get real. This discussion is insane.


It's not people... it's Soul + Troll.

The argument is that people think Sandbag will get the same treatment as L-Block and the Cube, based on the fact that Sandbag is an item. I think he won't because Cube is much more popular on the net and has a huge fad behind it, and L-Block... well, just read my post above. Sandbag has nothing extra going for it other then being a Brawl item.

>All he'll need is mid-20's to beat Magus, maybe even low 20's.

Eh, I'm really not sure about that. Sonic was pretty damn bad last year, he's probably gotten worse, and unless Sandbag completely bombs (in which this is all a moot point), he's up against some decent first round competition. That being the case, I really doubt Sonic can dominate this to, say... the high 40s. I think Sandbag would need to hit at least the high 20s to look decent. Anything less and I'd be really worried.

No, the argument was that you said Cube was more well known by internet users than Sandbag, which is preposterous.

Anyway, enough of this. Let's start talking about Big Boss, and how Raiden does tomorrow.

Shepard's a 360 character though so I doubt he'll bomb to Drake proportions. He should get at least 10%

I could see Shephard failing to break 10%. People only played Mass Effect for the alien sex.

Also Shepard is a guy with no consistant design, since you create him/her, so it's highly likely that if people can't tell the god damn difference between god damn Big Boss and god damn Solid Snake, they won't recognize Commander Shepard at all.

Really, it's a pretty generic name and there won't be a picture that will help people recognize them, so uh... Shepard is going to be pathetic now that I really think about it.

Let's make sure they get a female Shepare pic.


Screw it, let's submit a picture of Jack Shepard and hope Allen doesn't notice.

The difference is you can't play Uncharted without knowing who Nathan is... you can sure as hell play CoD4 and not know who the **** shepard is.

whoops... Shephard is the Mass Effect guy? Well then... I guess that really proves my point about play CoD4 and not knowing who the **** that guy is! Oh well... still think Shephard can massively fail below 10%

Hmmm...interesting. You make a good point.

I had expected him to be completely worthless, and didn't even bother to check what game he was from until just now. Mass Effect fans should indeed care about and give him some modicum of support. Which is likely bad for Magus, though Shepard should still only be a few points above 10% if he is.

With Sonic at say 40%, and Shepard at 10+%, Sandbag isn't going to need much to beat Magus.

Don't forget HK-47, another Bioware RPG character is a lot more likable than main character guy whose actions are determined by you and has a consistant design and is in a more popular game (probably... I assume... most likely).

HK would go like 86 - 14 on Shephard. for sure

OK, nevermind then. All the better for Magus :) Too bad it's not that significant an amount of % either way.

Mass Effect outsold original Kotor... But I don't see HK-47 being that much more popular regardless
