Frog isn't Nintendo... And if you're going by the fact he was on SNES, then Nightmare was on Gamecube.

Frog's *only* game is in a playable form on the SNES. Yes, Soul Calibur 2 is on the GameCube, but compared to Frog, Nightmare is non-Nintendo.

If you're going by that logic, Frog is a PC character.

Link was in Soul Calibur 2 though....that's got to count for something, as I remember that he made the GC version of that game sell substantially better than it would have otherwise. I agree with the premise of CT/Nintendo SNES overlap, but it isn't that strong an overlap (and Link/Crono should have the strongest overlap, easily, of any two Nintendo/CT characters).

If Frog's strength is based in emulation, then Nightmare beating him is a goddamn lock.

CT has to get a substantial amount of its strength from the Playstation version and emulation. Or do you believe that 1/3 of the people who bought CT in North America showed up to vote for Crono over Mario in the span of 24 hours?

When it comes to emulation, CT is probably the game from the 16 bit era that benefitted the most in popularity from it. CT really didn't sell that great (like 250k I think?), yet I'd say now over a million people, maybe more, have played it due to emulation.

#242 One thing that is certain is that Nightmare will get last in the poll.

Uh, no, it's not. In fact that is the one thing about this match that isn't certain.


Yeah, the only possible upset there is Nightmaer > Frog, but I wouldn't count on it.

CT benefits greatly from emulation. It's hard to deny that a big chunk of the CT fanbase here is familiar with the game because of it.

Exactly, so why is the weak character the favorite (oh snap!) Seriously, referring to Frog as the "proven" character is pretty...um...

Round 2

Division 3- Semifinal 1

Samus


The queen of Nintendo gets another chance to beat the crap out of Frog and Ganondorf.

Nightmare

He looked decent last round, but expect him to suck now that there's some strength.

Ganondorf

How far has he fallen since 2005? This match is a great way to find out!

Frog

No upset chances here :(

Analysis:

Finally, a boring match after a 5 days of craziness. Samus > Ganondorf > Frog > Nightmare is pretty much confirmed, though Samus/Ganondorf can be very telling for what was wrong with Ganondorf in 2006 and 2007.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Samus 37%, Ganondorf 27%, Frog 22%, Nightmare 14%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Samus > Ganondorf
TuRtLe's Vote: Frog
