Also guys, with Kain almost matching Raiden update for update, I don't
think he's gonna be falling below 20%... he might be for real. --- Master Chief > Sonic ...... Believe http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

So Raiden goes from getting stalled by Kain to almost cutting Chief. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

So we have 3 scenarios here. 1) Chief is as strong as ever, and Raiden beats Kirby/Luigi/Zero/Hayabusa comfortably. Kain is also a strong midcarder probably at Fox's level 2) Chief is now as weak as he was in 2006, meaning Raiden is doing about as expected, and Kain is at Kefka's level 3) Chief is between his 2006 and 2007 values and Raiden boosted a fair bit from MGS4. Kain is probably at Alucard's level. My guess is 3, which is pretty much what I called before the match (well, except for Kain, he's just kicking ass and taking names. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

I think we had this discussion last year and some states take Columbus

were shocked at the voting trends because they didn't have a holiday. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

While I'm still having some fun wrapping my head around this result,
this does not mitigate the 360's rise on this site. Remember that Chief
is a character who has two-thirds of his presence on the ORIGINAL Xbox,
with his 360 outing probably being the most disappointing of all. Characters like Altair will impress, but the HK-47's of the world aren't gaining any ground. ... Altair v MC gogogo --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

But not Solid Snake, at least not to the degree that his peers have. It's harder to gain strength when you're that much stronger, and Snake also has to deal with his SSBB factor not meaning as much due to Nintendo struggling. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I'm sure Halo 1 and 2 are pretty much mainstays on the 360. The thing
has backwards compatibility, after all, and Halo is DLC if that's not
enough. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

How popular are Layton's games? Someone give me an estimate of his ceiling on BL, I need to prepare a way to spin this Game, singular... in America, at least. He's a really big deal in Japan, I think... three games and they're doing a movie. I posted in the last topic that the game was the top seller on DS for three weeks, but I don't know what the competition was... VGchartz is claiming 280,000 total sold in America. He seems to me like he should be a Phoenix Lite, since his game should appeal to the same people... I dunno... 15% on BL? --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

Snake, at least not to the degree that his peers have. Does that make
sense? I don't get it The majority of what put Snake from being the ass of the Noble Nine to being the closest guy to Samus is his Brawl announcement and hype. If you take that away, and he's still at Mega Man's level, that's pretty damn good for an MGS4 boost. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

In fact, Snake looking roughly around where he was last year despite
everything Nintendo looking like it's lost a step is a pretty big
testament to how much he's actually benefiting from MGS4. There's a BIG
difference between pre-Brawl and post-Brawl Snake. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Does that mean that the Brawl boost definitely is dead? if so, what
does that mean for Sonic? Brawl was supposed to be the game that would

Other than for my Oracle, I just adore this match. Kain is doing spectactular. And we've got the good ol' lovable choking/flopping Chief back, at least somewhat :) Yeah he'll skyrocket in the day, but not like gaining 10% or anything (though he will get some 50% updates probably). The choker Chief is definitely the one I prefer, rather than the beast Chief we got last year. I was expecting Chief>Sonic, but would be happy to see that be wrong. Course, there's still the SonicFAIL factor to consider, so we could see a rather lowly battle between those two. <shrugs> --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

not exactly sure what Sonic has to cling to in that match. I think Sonic goes into that match as a heavy favorite if Magus goes with him.

Oh, he meant the previous round. Yeah, seeing Auron>Sonic would rule. And I'm not sure if Magus would even have much effect on Auron there. I'm not a big believer in old-school Chrono Trigger/new-school Final Fantasy SFF. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

If Crono/Zidane wasn't SFF, that means Shadow and Link must have had a LOT of overlap, or Link is now at around Mario's level. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

I don't even think Magus can save Sonic - remember how close Sub-Zero
got to the hedgehog before the Brawl announcement. Yes, Sonic will
stand out. But you've got to have more than that after a certain point. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |
