I voted for BB here, but I'm unsure who I'll vote for next round. Really, any of them could get my vote. I'll say this though: if my Snake-Kirby pic is used, I definitely know he'll get my vote!

Considering that The Dog must have been getting some nice joke support, I'd say L-Block is primed for about 34% next round. Even Crono should be a distant second.

Dear God, please no 4 way Games Contest!

And in regards to when the poll changed, I'm reading some of the first topics from 2005, and someone questions what happened to bring in votes and nobody brings up the poll changing position. I know someone posted pics from the Internet Archive, but in case someone claims that's not accurate for some reason, I can't find anything from 2005.

As I said, I'm 99% sure it happened in 2006, but if someone has something implying a year earlier, please post it.

Division 7: Round 1 - Match 26 – Kain Highwind vs. Master Chief vs. Professor Layton vs. Raiden

Moltar’s Analysis

Kain
Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy IV
2007 Results: N/A

Another FFIV character gets in thanks to the DS release

Master Chief
Game/Series Known From: Halo
2007 Results: 1st Place in Round 1 vs. Yuna, Vercetti and PaRappa

Game/Series Known From: Professor Layton
2007 Results: N/A

Hmm…I got nothin

Raiden
Game/Series Known From: Metal Gear Solid
2007 Results: 2nd Place in Round 1 vs. Crono, Sam and Simon
3rd Place in Round 2 vs. Crono, Zero and HK-47

I am lightning. The rain transformed.

Two unknown guys go up against one guy with decent strength and one guy who’s a powerhouse in this format. I wonder who I should go with.

Chief will lay waste to this group. We saw him dominate groups twice as strong as this last year with no problem. One thing to see though is how he will fare without Halo 3 hype. I mean, Halo 3 is still big, but the hype last year was massive, and Chief was able to ride it all throughout the contest. Still, I don’t think Chief will falter much. The train of believe starts here!

Second place goes to Raiden, fresh off of MGS4. His ninja picture didn’t seem to do him any favors this year, so it’ll be interesting to see how he does with it now that the game is actually out and people actually recognize it.

Layton and Kain…I couldn’t care less how they do.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Master Chief > Raiden

Moltar’s Prediction is: MC: 45% - Raiden: 31% - Kain: 17% - Layton: 7%



Heroic Mario’s Analysis

Before Big Boss's 48% yesterday, the best I had in mind for Raiden was to come within 10% of the Chief -- that would have said plenty about MGS4's impact and been a respectable show for him. But with the MGS4 looking very real -- and substantial -- it may not be too farfetched for Raiden to do the unthinkable here, as unlikely as that may seem.

Of all the Metal Gear characters, Raiden certainly has the most to gain from MGS4. Last year, his pic was near unrecognizable to anyone who hadn't kept up with the MGS4 news -- and even then it was difficult to tell with his faced closed off. This year, he shouldn't have to worry about any pic factor working against him. Added to that, Raiden manages to steal the show quite a few times during the game -- and he's certainly 'cooler' than his MGS2 self.

Odds are well in Master Chief's favor, though. For all that there's evidence of a MGS4 boost, there's almost equally as much pointing toward a shift on the site to the Xbox 360, and that's not even mentioning the fact that the Chief has looked significantly better for years. Just looking at last year -- Chief in the semifinals, Raiden out in round 2 after barely getting by Sam Fisher in round 1. I don't think he's going to be as strong as he last year (no Halo 3 dropping in the middle of the contest), but with how much stronger Chief is than Raiden, it may not matter.

Raiden's got his work cut out for him, to be sure, but if the MGS4 boost is as big as it appears it might be, he's got a good shot at wowing a lot of people. I doubt he does it, but damn if I'm not going to take him here on fanboyism alone in the off-chance it pays off.

Prediction: Raiden - 40% ; Master Chief - 38% ; Kain - 16% ; Layton - 6%

Yoblazer’s Analysis

Yesterday, we were all treated to one of Round 1's biggest upsets. Today is a change of pace, as we'll all be treated to one of its most predictable results. Our quartet du jour is comprised of a midcarder who has very likely boosted, a veritable force in this 4way format, and two pieces of assured fodder. There ain't much to analyze here in terms of who wins and who loses, but we can always discuss the margins!

Master Chief is here, and he's the "veritable force" I just mentioned. Chief made this format his playground last year, putting up impressive result after impressive result. He obliterated lower midcarders, made mince meat out of Nintendo entrants that wouldn't have a problem beating him in a 1v1 scenario, and ended his mesmerizing run by putting a scare into Solid Snake. Yep, that Chief is back, and he's going to win this match effortlessly.

However, there has been some discussion as to just how strong he'll be this time around. You see, last year he was fortunate enough to be driven by Halo 3 hype (the game released like two days after his first match) and a multi-million dollar marketing blitz that accompanied the game's launch. Obviously, Master Chief soda (Believe), shirts, toys, underwear, checkbooks, and 401K plans will boost the guy, so some people are thinking he'll be weaker without all that stuff this year. This may be true, but others are arguing that this will be offset by the apparent "Xbox boost" we've seen this year, as voters seem to be more drawn to that console and its characters. Personally, I don't expect to see much change from Chief. Maybe he'll be a smidgen weaker, but it should still be enough to wipe these opponents and venture far into the bracket. No problemo.

Raiden is our likely-to-have-boosted midcarder, and he'll be winning second place without breaking a sweat. Unfortunately for the MGS2 lead (ugh), Raiden didn't look particular good last year. He almost lost to Sam freakin' Fisher in Round 1, and then followed that up by finishing a very distant third place. In fact, even calling him a true "midcarder" like I'm doing now might be a bit of a stretch, as he couldn't really prove that last year. There were complaints that his pictures were completely unrecognizable, as he received his MGS4 cyborg artwork when that game was still nearly a year away from release. Fortunately for our athletic friend, he has since received that same MGS4, and it's making some of his buddies look very good. A boost is almost certain in this case, and any negative picture factors he may have had last year will be neutralized. I'm not expecting him to contend with Chiefy or anything, but I do think he'll look much better than he did last year.

Kain Highwind and Professor Layton are our surefire fodders. Kain is from FFIV. His buddy, Cecil, is the star of the game, had a much better picture with weaker competition, and still performed poorly, so Kain will be down in the doldrums here. Professor Layton might benefit from being the only kiddy, cartoony looking guy in the bunch (his name and top hat may also garner votes from snooty intellectual types), but he's only from a handheld game no one cares about, so I still doubt he breaks 10%. That's about all she wrote here, folks. Sandbag's getting closer!

Kain Highwind - 12%
Master Chief - 48%
Professor Layton - 8%
Raiden - 32%

Lopen’s Analysis

So... alright, I decided to look up who these other lamers were, so I wouldn't come off as a blind Master Chief and Raiden fanboy. I thought Professor Layton was like... the guy from Brain Age or something. Turns out, after a quick search through google, that he not only has his own game... he has his own series! Man. Great stuff. Kain, meanwhile, is a dragoon who accompanies the dark knight Cecil in his quest to conquer the world under the flag of almighty Baron in the Command and Conquer Series. No problem, bro. Fodder one and fodder two. Cecil doing so poorly in the first match implies Kain can't really do any better than 10% here, given that this pack is stronger, and Cecil > Kain. Layton... well, whatever.

So, I'm likin Raiden to look real good here. I kinda wanted to see MGS2 Raiden, but at least this year everyone will know for sure who this guy is. Raiden's toaster-like disguises cannot protect him from getting votes this year, the gig is up. And after seeing Big Boss today? I'm thinkin Raiden is set to explode here. Why didn't Snake apparently get much of a boost? Because he wasn't old. People can no longer associate with Snake if he's not struggling to breathe, looking for his dentures. Raiden, however, with his youthful elegance, grace, and ninjistics, appeals to the youth of today and at the same time does not dissociate himself with a MGS4 boost.

But seriously. Raiden no doubt became a whole lot more likable in MGS4, and he should do damn well here. Both because the pic is recognizable and because he's more awesome to more people now. Of course, it is just a PS3 game, which might limit his appeal. In any case, Raiden is the guy to look at in this match. How well he does will influence Big Boss's chance of upsetting Kirby. (Or better yet... Raiden's chance to upset Big Boss and Kirby !!)

Meanwhile, Master Chief conflicts me in this match. On the one hand, I want him to look good. On the other, I want Raiden to look good. No doubt Chief WILL look good, though. This is a weaker four-pack than the one he went up against last year in R1, and he got a MIGHTY 45% against it. Needless to say, I think I was pretty modest when I said "48%" in my sig. But that's changing today, so you know, we'll be more ambitious in round 2.

Some people are saying MC will mysteriously "deboost" this season. I'm kinda tired of it, really. Halo 3 did get a mixed reaction... but given that this is GameFAQs/B8, I'd expect the negativity of this reaction to be severely amplified by people around here. If I hadn't frequented GameFAQs, I wouldn't even really know that it got any negative reaction. Really, Master Chief should be getting a boost this year, if anything.

Barring Raiden going nuts (win/win) expect him to crack 50% here, like a noble niner would, because that's what Chief is in this format. I'd say 49-51% implies he's constant, with less or more implying he's dropped or boosted. Given that this is MC, he's kinda hard to read based on his performances against fodder. But the higher the better!

I NEED GAME FUELS, 61!

Lopen's prediction:
Master Chief – 53.37%
Raiden – 30.61%
Kain – 10.01%
Layton – 6.01%



Transience’s Analysis

holy Big Boss. I'd argue that Kirby/Lucas/Jinjo is a tougher fourpack than Raiden/Kain/Layton, so in order for Master Chief to be looked at as the favourite he needs 50%, something I wouldn't expect out of some Noble Nine members, let alone Master Chief. of course, there's going to be a Raiden in the way to mess things up, and he'd need another Naked Snake picture to capitalize on it, but still, Mega Man went up against Nero/Banjo/Olimar and only got 51%. Kirby destroys all those guys.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/12/2008 8:08:10 PM | message detail
Raiden has been a contest joke over the two years he's been in, getting rocked by Snake (not exactly fair) and struggle to beat Sam Fisher. Raiden looks pretty clearly below all the other second-tier MGS guys - Liquid, Ocelot, Big Boss. MGS4 should be huge for him though, as he goes from whiny blonde dude who isn't Snake to badass cyborg gekko-spinnin' savin' Snake's ass over and over dude. if MGS4 is as big as it looks, Raiden could arguably give Master Chief a scare.

but no one outside of Kleenex or other choice fanboys can honestly predict that when you've got one of last year's biggest successes in the poll. Chief's big question mark is if Halo 3's ultimately lukewarm reception will "de-boost" him since he was clearly on hype steroids last year. Chief shouldn't have much trouble here but if Raiden shows he's legit we may have an interesting set of percentages here. otherwise this is probably your typical 40/30/20/10 snoozefest.

as for Kain and Layton, Kain will be stronger than Cecil on account of a more recognizable character design and Layton will get his 8-10% from that niche fanbase. woo.

Ngamer’s Analysis

Hooo boy, what a crazy showing from BB today! HOWEVER, people are going way overboard in terms of what this result will mean the rest of the way. I'm hearing ravings about "the death of Nintendo" (just absurd) and "massive MGS4 boost" (uh, hello, did you see Snake drop the ball only a week back?) and "Big Boss to win the division alongside MC!" Sorry, not buying it. The best way to explain this result in my opinion is by observing that not only does BB look great, he also looks almost EXACTLY like Brawl Snake, with the addition of an eye patch. I seems as though casual Smashers though they had the choice of three characters, and since it's very much a case of Snake > Kirby > Lucas within Brawl, that's how much of the undecided votes were swung. In any case, the trouble is that even if there has been a massive MGS4 boost, that's only going to work against BB in R2, in the form of Raiden. Let's not forget that Nintendo isn't the only company that suffers from LFF- next time around Kirby will be on the right side of it, and I bet that's more than enough to swing the results back in his favor.

Speaking of Raiden and that (probably not all that MASSIVE) MGS4 boost, let's see where he'd be boosting from!


Last Known Values:
Master Chief - 37.79% (2007)
Raiden - 18.96% (2007)
Kain - new
Layton - new

Even though I don't like MC at all as a character, he's definitely one of the funnest Contest entrants we're ever seen. What joy to see him flop left and right in 1v1s, and on the other hand, what a thrill to watch him suddenly Hulk up to a virtual NNer the minute we switch into 4-ways! I'm expecting another powerhouse showing from the King of the Xbox tonight, although I doubt it ends up being quite as dominating as his R1 from back in '07 just because there won't be any Vercetti to casual SFF. The real question of the day will be Raiden. Is he really as weak as he looked last Summer, or was some of that the result of voters not recognizing him inside all of that toaster armor? If it was just recognition holding him back, then he certainly would be on track for big gains now that everyone interested in the series would have played through MGS4. Even after seeing Liquid and BB look so good, I'm hesitant to get my hopes up too far for Raiden in this one.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/12/2008 8:09:00 PM | message detail
If he lets us down for the fourth time in a row though, might he even be in danger of getting knocked out early by Kain? Ehhhh, not really. Yes Square has turned in some good showings to this point, but they've all come from new-school Square, while the older games have failed to impress. Plus he looks like total junk in that match pic. That leaves just Layton. Now just looking over the names of our 128 entrants, I'd certainly have considered the Prof for the position of weakest of the whole pack. But after seeing him in this match pic, I've got to admit that this was a pretty favorable draw for him. He stands out like a sore thumb, is the only non-mature option, and has a funny enough name that he might get some joke support. Plus in a match with MC, you know there's always going to be plenty of anti-votes to go around. All the considered, I'd be surprised if he fell into the single digits in this one.

Alright, so with MC going off on a sizeable blowout, with Raiden comfortably in 2nd and Layton looking perhaps a touch better than expected, that would shake out to about...

Master Chief - 45.19%
Raiden - 22.80%
Kain Highwind - 18.55%
Professor Layton - 13.46%

AWESOME.

Ngamer Says: Master Chief > Raiden



Guest’s Analysis - Kleenex

If there's one thing this contest has done so far, it's weed out the fodder of the fodder. How many sub-10% characters have we seen so far? We've had 4 in the past 5 days (yeah Lucas was probably being SFF'd a bit, but still). We might get another one of those today, but it depends on how well the other three do.


Kain Highwind - The DS remake of FF4 allowed for a bunch of characters that we really didn't need to see to get into the bracket. After Cecil disappointed in the first match, Zack or no Zack, Kain probably doesn't have high hopes here.


Master Chief - Last year the Chief (all hail) went on a tear through the bracket and only lost a spot in the finals because of a certain tetris piece. This was right off the heels of Halo 3, but the Chief should still have a great run in this format for the second time.


Professor Layton - Another newcomer this year, and one who will probably be fighting to keep it above 10%. Not sure what sales looked like on his game, but I can't imagine they were very impressive. Awesome as Layton may be, he won't be making waves.


Raiden - raidenfear let's do this. Raiden disappointed last year, but he actually has MGS4 behind him now and with MGS characters doing well so far, he should do great especially because he didn't get another stupid toaster pi-

Oh wait. Bacon clearly wanted to give Master Chief a chance here, because if Raiden had gotten his proper picture, there would be no debate here.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/NeoX-Death/RaidenRd1.png

Seriously. Maybe we can get a close-up of Raiden's junk in Round 2 or something ANYWAY BACK TO THE ANALYSIS.

Master Chief should dominate this fourpack, which he probably will, and then we can get to ol' Chief > Sonic hype train a-rollin'. I doubt we'll see quite the same Chief we saw last year, but with the site's supposed turn towards more casual games, he's got this one wrapped up with a pretty little bow on top. Second place really shouldn't be a question here either. Raiden certainly could have done better last year, but against the competition, he'd have to bomb pretty hardcore to let either Kain or Layton sneak by. With MGS4 under his belt and with MGS characters impressing thus far, the chances of that are extremely slim. I mean, did you see Big Boss yesterday? MASTER CHIEF WATCH YOUR BACK.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/12/2008 8:09:46 PM | message detail
Kain and Layton fight for scraps with Chief and Raiden likely taking up nearly 70% of this poll. Kain should do better, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him do better than we'd expect Cecil to. I guess Layton could impress somehow, but that would be pretty surprising. This should be a pretty straightforward match (whoops, how many times have we said that).

Crew Consensus: MC > Raiden here, though HM has the opposite.

What's with all the Kain overshooting? He's guaranteed to be weaker than Cecil and is also up against a much stronger four-pack. He'll be lucky to break 12%.

What I'm more shocked about is all the people who think LAyton can top 10%

Because Cecil is the main character and Kain isn't that much of a fan favorite?

He has nothing going for him. Cecil is main character, just announced for Dissidia, and bracket voters since quite a few brackets had him possibly advancing

Kain is a fan favorite among hardcore FF4 fans, but he'll get less support among people who just played it a while back and just vote for Cecil cuz hes main character

Kain seems like he should be the Auron to Cecil's Tidus.

maybe I'm wrong, my favorite character in there is Cid ;>_>

I see almost as many people caring about Rydia as I do Kain. Kain really isn't that popular.
