Regardless, Knuckles would beat Pikachu easily. Their strengths are pretty similiar in 4way: Knuckles (2007c) VS Pikachu (2007c) Knuckles has a strength of 27.41. Pikachu has a strength of 24.59. Knuckles wins with 55.14% of the vote! A win of 13,557 with 131,769 total votes cast. Then throw in anti votes in 1v1, and it should be an easy 60-40 win for knux --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

For what it's worth, Pikachu was against Luigi the round he was
eliminated last year. Also, Knuckles was against Yoshi in both of his
rounds...assuming you're into that mattering or not. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

How strong do you think Pikachu is there Bio? Fox already crushed him 1-on-1, and I don't think anyone would think about taking Fox over Knuckles. So really, why overrate the rat? Is it because it will make Ike look stronger? --- Good Times, Great Memories |

And iirc, biolizard is one of the same people who say Chief would be
weak in 1v1, yet argue for a character he likes saying he won't be weak
in 1v1. Some bias there. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

This isn't about 2k7 stats. It's about common sense. Pikachu barely
edged out a Vivi being held back by Tidus, WITH the advantage of the
format. Now throw in that Pikachu's main advantage is being a
universally known Pokemon representative, and Knuckles is just as well
known and far more liked... If anything, Pika would get SFFed. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I think I might take Pikachu > Fox 1v1. It'd be a hard decision
either way. I'd also take DK > Fox, and I think that's a pretty
unpopular decision here. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

Knux is like the anti-Kefka. People always underrate him, so he has to prove himself every year. Actually, present-day Gordon Freeman and Duke Nukem are in the same boat. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

For everyone who's so down on Knux, would you take Vincents, Squalls,
and even Ganon's of the world over Sonic? Because he's been just as
pathetic in this format... he just hasn't been ravaged by overlapping

As much as we want a one on one bracket a 64 character bracket is
getting harder to make without there being some major snubs. I mean I
just glanced through the character list and picking just 64 is already
hard and I haven't even looked at new characters or fodder for the
heavy weights. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 125/176 Today's Match: Crono > Ryu |

I think the best idea would be to remove... Clinkeroth Noble Nine Vincent L-Block anyone else who beats a NNer this year From the bracket. Have a 64-way bracket. Then stick the winner against a Gauntlet of these characters, where the winner of one match goes on to face the next character. Link or L-Block at the top, Crono, MM, or Sonic at the bottom. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

KamikazePotato (#376) ...This is actually a good idea, except I think it should be noble nine and L Block... don't exclude Vincent since even if he wins, we're not sure if he'd win in 1v1 or not. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

To make up for the past two years of non-1 on 1 and non-summerness, we
should totally have a 1 on 1 tournament with 128 characters and two
matches a day for the first round so it'll take like three months and
it'll be awesome and everyone will laugh and sing. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

If we're going to be removing people it should be Samus/Snake/Mario +
Clinkeroth. Sure it'd only add three spots, but take out anybody else
and you're ruining great match-ups. A ToC would work best over a battle
royal as well, Link/Cloud auto advance, and Samus/Seph first round
match-up, and Snake/Mario goes down. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

Thats part of the reason I don't want 1v1 again... cuz 1v1 means most
likely we'd get 64 characters, and now with 128 characters being the
norm, we'd be missing too many important characters --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Maybe Cecil and Rydia should be given another shot. Depends on how
strong you think their fourpack is and if they were affected any by
Zack / Auron. A match between either of them and Kefka could be interesting. >_> --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

I just think that doing a 64 character bracket now will be impossible
without missing a bunch of good characters. A four month 128 character
bracket will be too long though I like the idea of the first round
having two polls, just make them switch places at each refresh. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 125/176 Today's Match: Crono > Ryu |

| We've talked about this before I think, but it's
an interesting topic: suppose we had a poll with every VG character in
existence. Could Clinkeroth break 50%? I think L-Block's run last year
proved pretty conclusively that the answer there is no, although I'd
probably say no even if joke characters were excluded from the poll.
But could the Noble Nine break 50%? Between them they can SFF virtually
anything, and as some of the most well known characters, they are sure
to have lots of people who consider one of them their favorite
character. I think Link might pull close to 20% by himself.....FFVII
had 24% say it was their favorite game, after all. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |
