Wow, Altair.


So.... Lucario must be the fodderiest fodder of them all.

And Guybrush? Woah, he's like... woah.

Stop deluding yourself, Longshot Lopen. After all, didn't you think Kaim Argonar would NOT look like absolute crap? Guess what happened then. You sure love to be disappointed when the upsets you're rooting for fail to occur, do you not?

...you're doing this on purpose, right?

Duke and Zack have 4 distinct large fanbases? Zack is casual bait cuz of "LOL BUSTER SWORD" and Duke is "LOL BALLS OF STEEL"

Theres no "fasination", Zack is from FF7 and kind of important to the story in some ways. That should be enough to expect near yoshi'ish strength. That's it.

I thought the 'Zack is casual bait' argument got torpedoed the moment he SFFd one of the most stable and dedicated fanbases we'd seen in these contests.

I'd take that in R1. But when percentages are this low... I don't think Zack should have trouble swinging around 20% of the voters playing his game. PSP or not this is FF7FAQs.

Speaking of Mario and X, i'm really looking forward to the next match.

I mean sure people have predictions, but imo that match could go in any direction although people think the SFF between Mario and Luigi will kill their chances.

What are your predictions for that match?

I really can't see why there's much hype for the Mario/X match. I mean, I'm hyped because I love Luigi, but otherwise X>Mario seems a foregone conclusions. Maybe Liquid sneaks in there, but I doubt it.

It's about likeability. People like Zack, they mostly don't care for Cait Sith. And so what if Zack only appears for a few scenes? Those are the most important scenes in the game, and Zack is probably the 5th most important character storywise.

Likin' Mario > MMX there. Not buying into the idea that Luigi's going to bring down Mario to a greater degree than Zelda/Mudkip would. Liquid's too outclassed there to make a match of anything. Consensus is probably MMX > Mario.

If Cait Sith is really as hated as people make it seem he is, he should do pretty badly. Popular game =/= success... just look at Tingle. Just being in a popular game won't make people overlook their hatred of a character.

Too bad, since Tingle's the best Zelda character.

A character who appears in a couple scenes in a game shouldn't be near elite level

I'd agree with you, but you have to look at who Mario's competition is. MMX. Zelda/Mudkip should have a much greater overlap with MMX than Mario than Luigi will. If MMX was some non-nintendo entity, you'd almost assuredly be correct, but that's not the case. Mario can still benefit if he absolutely swallows Luigi whole, but I'm not expecting it.

I'm not buying Mario overlapping nearly as much with Zelda/Kip as with Luigi, or even managing to SFF Luigi to any decent degree. I'd sooner expect Luigi to advance in some crazy fashion than for Mario to get 1st. At least the first has an outside shot in that we've never seen Mario and Luigi go out at; we've already seen Mario almost lose to X.

I'm on the other side there. I'd be surprised if Mario doesn't take away the majority of Luigi's vote. It may not be a complete obliteration, but I expect to see Luigi in a distant fourth in that match. Beating Bowser with it and holding up against Ganon is one thing, Mario is a different sort of beast.
