Samus needed to boost 3.5% on BL since 2k4. In there is a year where Mario jumped 6%. Samus boosting half as much as Mario did isn't that impossible to believe.

...

Time to stop talking to you

#266 Yeah, as bad as he looked that year, Megaman 2006 has been vindicated the past 2 years. I'll.....take him over Sonic in a rematch.


About ****ing time somebody else joined the winning team.

All depends on Mewtwos performance tomorrow. He could be another Altair, or have legit strength

So...Snake can boost to insane levels (even just based on constant Sonic) from a goddamn trailer, but Samus isn't allowed to go up from the second-biggest general boost in contest history?

True, Mewtwo is a bit unpredictable, he certainly was my fave in Melee and was dissapointed that Lucario took his place in Brawl. But i think he's on the same lvl as pikachu in contest power as he out PSI-ed Ness.

KH, I said from 2k4. 2k4 Samus was 42.36. 2k6 Samus is 45.85. 2k5 Samus was picked by just placing her halfway between Mario and Crono. Even then, it's still nowhere close to eight points on BL.

Character Battle V (2006): 37th place
red sox 777 | Posted 10/29/2008 10:23:42 PM | message detail
No, Samus isn't at BL levels, but I find it hard to believe that Yoshi hurt her that much more than Megaman the previous round. I don't think Samus would break 60% on MM one on one. Call it SFF, Cloud messing up the results, whatever....

Nintendo and especially Yoshi have been dropping fast since the power hour ended, and Team Square is now at 56.85%.

This is so much not even an argument I don't even know where to start

maybe I'll do this instead since MM is supposed to be constant from 2k5 and all

Sephiroth (2005c) VS Mega Man (2005c)

Sephiroth has a strength of 49.16.
Mega Man has a strength of 38.79.

Sephiroth wins with 60.55% of the vote!
A win of 23,837 with 113,003 total votes cast.


Samus got 61% on MM

stop it

Turtle, Turtle, Turtle...Mega Man over Snake? Just how dense can you be? MM alolowed Sora to break 46% on him in 2006. He couldn't beat Sprite Samus last year despite Yoshi being in the poll, and in the next round he got blasted so badly that he ended up closer to Ryu than Samus. Fast forward to 2008. He lets Nero break 24% on him in round 1, and allowed Tidus to improve on him in round 2, despite the decline Tidus seems to be on. How is that "vindication for 2006?"

And you're forgetting a key component in that Cloud/Samus/MM match: Ryu. If Dante/Leon/Amaastaseraseru can SFF eachother, why not Mega Man and Ryu?

We don't even know if they SFF'd each other or not -- there is a reasonable argument for Pikachu's sprite being responsible for his blow-out that round, plus Dante/Leon are far more closely related than Mega/Ryu. On top of that, you have a real problem in refusing to acknowledge Yoshi's presence in their first match-up.

I think Dante isn't a good protagonist for a horror series...i mean,his badassery sort of overshadows any sort of horror you can come up with...mainly in a game..when playing as someone like dante,you'll probably get the feeling "why would i be scared if I was this dude?"

i mean,put Dante as the main character of Dead Space and suddenly the game isn't scary anymore >_>
red sox 777 | Posted 10/29/2008 10:27:07 PM | message detail
And for the record, I'm not saying MM 2006 = MM 2005, just that he actually was in the same area as Crono/Sonic (would have lost narrowly to either of them that year) and not substantially below them as he looked. I'd take him over Sonic now because Sonic has looked horrible the last 2 years.

Looks like there was no Vivi rally in the end there. >_>

And wow at Fox having 19% here. He's holding up better than I thought.

Anyone think Sora may actually move on to round 4? Squall's probably gonna be affected by Cloud a whole lot more than him, and Mewtwo could end up being weaker than we thought.

Devil May Cry was originally being developed as RE4, with Dante the main character of RE4, but was scrapped and remade as a new series.

Cloud > Sora would be so great in the division finals. I think Cloud > Mewtwo is more likely, but the upset would make up for so much that this contest has done to me.

I wonder just how much stronger than Riku Sora is. I probably shouldn't let this match get my hopes up for Dante > Riku. >_>

"Devil May Cry began its development life as a Resident Evil 4 title for PS2, after the completion of Resident Evil 2, under the direction of Hideki Kamiya and "Team Little Devil".[18] Early research and development work included a trip to Spain, to examine various castles as a basis for the game's environments. However, in prototype status, the game proved to be a radical departure from the established Resident Evil formula and the survival horror genre in general. Rather than abandon the project entirely, the premise was changed and the game eventually became Devil May Cry.[19]"

I think Zero would still win that match fairly comfortably. I wouldn't expect 63-37, but I also wouldn't expect much closer than 55-45.

Even if you wanted to go that route, 55-45 illustrates the point quite nicely. The fact that he had to fight tooth and nail to dispatch Vivi is further proof - Zero has lost a step since 2005. Several, actually. The idea that Mega Man has been somehow immune from this is wishful thinking.
