People think that's a bad pic for Hogger? I kinda like it... other than
all the empty space, but whatreyagunnado? Overall that match pic is
pretty ballin' just kinda disappointed to see the same old Dante head
scratch, but eh, still a good pic. Also I'm totally getting back on the Dante fanboy bus. Cloud > Dante in the semi's IMHO. --- mmm test icicles |

Its only a bad pic due to people not knowing who hogger is. If you know who hogger is, you know thats as good as he can get --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

No. I've played my fair share of CoD4 and there's no way I'd recognize that as being him if I didn't know all about this contest. He looks like every other army guy to ever wear a ghille suit. I'd probably have thought he was from SOCOM or something. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

Not really. Ryu was majorly boosted from NG2 How much of a boost are you willing to give him? It's certainly nothing that would indicate he wouldn't get stomped by Leon going by this match, and that just follows likewise for Zero. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

recognize that as being him if I didn't know all about this contest. He
looks like every other army guy to ever wear a ghille suit. I'd
probably have thought he was from SOCOM or something. Then you obviously didn't play CoD4. The mission where he's in that seaweed is considered by most to be the best mission in the game and he's in the seaweed for like half the mission. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

yeah take that ec So, I don't think Leon or Riku dropped/gained anything like I thought they would last night, even after compensating for the lack of trend-shifts this year. Do you think GameFAQs's world-wide demographic is changing here? That might explain something, though I don't know specifically how or in what ways..... --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Most characters who normally have clear-cut strong/weak times seem to
be evening out a bit. The only real major shifts we've seen are
Shadow/Zidane and Ike/everyone else, I think. And Jinjo, but he hardly counts. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Is it possible that games like MGS4 brought in more mature gamers, which in turn helps Resident Evil characters? --- "Dreaming of one day flying, it practices by leaping off cliffs every day." ~Bagon's Pokedex entry |

I have no idea, but except in the rarest of rare cases (ie Master Chief
v MGS/Old Square/who) we haven't seen much of a shift at all. And even
then, what would typically be an avalanche is merely "respectable". Has
Nintendo malaise neutered the day vote somewhat? Has the hardcore
appeal of the 360 made it more night-oriented in nature? Just the
general population getting older? --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Sora was against a strong Nintendo character, Riku is against Leon and a CoD4 character, and Roxas sucks. Sora won't have a strong day vote next round because he's against Fox/Yoshi/Squall, 3 great day vote characters. The "legendary" Kingdom Hearts ASV is born from all the matches KH characters have had against vampires. Sora/Alucard, Sora/Snake, Kairi/Claire, Sora/Gordon, Sora/Mega Man etc. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

I like how Mega Man actually has a decent day vote but it looked bad
because he was put up against a day vote monster like Sora who actually
doesn't have a great day vote but it looked good because he was put up
against someone terrible with the day vote like Mega

Considering BB >>>> Kirby and Raiden << Chief ...You DO realize that Big Boss/Kirby was the same proportion as MC/Raiden, right? Both Kirby and Raiden get around 43.50% on the other based on direct extrapolation. You either need to take arrows away from Kirby (which is probably best because I think he didn't look quite AS bad as that match indicates) or add arrows to Raiden. And yeah, I'd go ahead and call Vivi the favorite for 2nd place next round in that fourpack. He already outperformed what Hayabusa got on Snake last year, and with Riku's bombing, both performances look legit. Zero's not lookin' that hot at this point either. ...Which in turn makes Crono's round 2 last year performance look really, really bad. I like the match pic for tomorrow. Dante looks a little blurry, and that pic is overused by this point, but it's instantly recognizable. Laharl looks as good as he's gonna look, and although I wish Ramza had gotten his Chapter 2 & 3 look (with the spiky armor), he looks fine. Riku's getting a noticeable day vote, but not a great one, like I said would probably happen. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: 1st place, 57296 votes, 45.06% |
