I'm expecting Luigi to hold, but I'm also expecting Mario > X. I mean, Zelda held up pretty well last time, and Mario still got first. And Mudkip's gone, so there's less to hold Mario back. --- sig |

Luigi to get flattened tomorrow or else Mario is done. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 3 - Dante/Leon/Kirby. Target: 48%. Robot LFF/SFF from Raiden? I THINK SO. Believe |

anyone who prefers luigi got cursed as player two clearly I actually played as player 2 sometimes just so i could be Luigi. Both in SMB and Super Mario World. I preferred Luigi from the start, first because green was my favorite color as a kid, and then because I liked his personality better. Also I just never liked Mario at all when I was a kid (Lou Albano was the only thing about him I liked!). Though as you know, I agree with you in that I think Zelda hurting Luigi more is the more likely scenario. I wouldn't be shocked if that was wrong, but I think it's more probable. In terms of favorites, Oracle wise it seems Mario is a very slight favorite over X. Almost a toss-up though. And most people seem to expect Luigi to hold up quite decently, not getting doubled. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I think Mario should be the favorite over X, not because Zelda's a bigger leech than Luigi, but because there are simply less Nintendo characters in the poll now. Mudkip was leeching votes too, probably. --- "All you base are belong to us."--CATS |

I don't understand how anyone could believe Zelda's presence hurting
Mario against Mega Man X more than Luigi's presence is unthinkable. The
logic is pretty simple, straightforward, and fairly obvious once it's
occurred to you, even if it is counter-intuitive. I can certainly see why someone would argue it's going to be wrong. But to dismiss the notion entirely is just bizarre. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I think Mega Man is quasi-Nintendo -- he is capable of SFF'ing and
being SFF'd by Nintendo one-on-one, but not necessarily like other
Nintendo characters in four-way matches. For example, we've seen that
Mega Man can SFF Yoshi and can be SFF'd by Link. That's fine. That
said, we've seen from R3 last year that Yoshi affected Samus much more
than he affected Mega Man. I would suspect this would be true for most
combinations of Nintendo characters if they were in that same poll with
Mega Man (and KOS-MOS); Zelda would affect Mario more, Kirby would
affect Link more, Pikachu would affect Ganondorf more, etc. Mega Man is "Nintendo," but he's not Nintendo. Perhaps he can still SFF some Nintendo characters or be SFF'd by others if they're the only Nintendo option in the poll, but with two or more? Mega Man may stand out too much to be affected the same way. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Zelda hurts Mario just a bit more than Liquid will hurt Mario tbqh what I'm saying is she's a strong character, and strong character tends to swoop a significant amount of percentage making everyone else in the poll appears weaker. and zelda is nintendo but loosely related, so she should hurt Mario a bit more than non-nintendo strong character (she's stronger than liquid anyway). However, Luigi IS Mario's clone, a pretty strong character and is very strongly related, so he'll do the most damage to Mario more than anyone else (maybe except yoshi). and I think this stronger overlap will be enough for Mario to lose his 1453 votes advantage that kept him from losing to X last round. --- Kweh!

This 'loosely related' stuff is pretty out there, I think. Most people who are a fan of Zelda on this site are also
a fan of Mario - these aren't unique, separate fanbases. They're very
much intertwined with one another. With Zelda gone, Mario's going to
benefit quite a bit, much moreso than X will. Luigi's going to hurt
Mario, just as all same fanbase characters do, but he isn't going to
kill him. I'm not sure what people are expecting, but there won't be
any splitting of the vote happening. Mario's going to SFF him pretty
good; it's just a matter of how much. You can give Luigi a good chunk of the percentage, something in the high-teens, and Mario can come away a winner in this one. If we're thinking Luigi is 20%+ here...well, I'm not sure what has ever pointed to Luigi being that SFF resistant - his two big showings are against Bowser, when everything pointed toward him winning, and Ganondorf, who's biggest claim is not being SFFed by Samus. --- http://i33.tinypic.com/2s0xn3o.gif http://i34.tinypic.com/15wdsu0.gif |

Mega man is pretty much Nintendo. all his games, apart from MM8 were on Nintendo systems. Mega Man X is not as much Nintendo. His first three (and probably most important) games were on the SNES, but after that, his games have been on the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. He has the capacity to withstand Nintendo SFF --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

Sure, but if faced by superior Nintendo characters, that is: Link and
Mario. I believe he will hold up better, as his PlayStation fanbase is
much less likely to abandon him. it is to bad Mega Man has never faced Mario, so we cannot compare his results to those of X. But I suspect it would have been an SFF beating, Samus-style. The one time MM faced Link he was destroyed with SFF --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

i just can't see someone voting for one mega man and not voting for the
other. Its the reason CjayC never let X in before... cuz he felt they
were the same character, so it would be unfair to have 2 of the same

They're not the same character. X is not even really named Mega Man X,
just his games are. His name is simply X, the variable which represents
unlimited potential. He's a completely new robot who just happens to
also be one of Dr. Light's creations. --- Proud member of the A1 Steak Sauce Guild |

From: Chaotic Mind | #290 His name is Mega Man X. Someone posted a pic the other week about that debate with Sigma calling him Mega Man X in game. And regardless, he's just as different from Mega Man as all the different versions of Link are.

Wikipedia is not always 100% accurate. In one of X's games, i think it
might be Maverick Hunter X on the PSP, Dr. Light specifically says he
chose to name his new creation "X", to represent his unlimited
potential. Not Mega Man X, just X. If you still need more convincing, look up the episode of the Mega Man cartoon where X is in the show as well. --- Proud member of the A1 Steak Sauce Guild |

The Mega Man voters are mostly people who think "hey, that's Mega Man,
I remember him, he was awesome on the NES/SNES/GB/GBA I will vote for
him" when Mega Man is faced with Mario or Link those people will probably think "Hey that's Mario/Link, I remember him, he was even MORE awesome than Mega Man on the NES/SNES/GB/GBA, I will vote for Mario/Link instead " Hence the SFF beatdown he got at the hands of Link, and the one I am confident he would receive from Mario. The Mega Man X voters are consisted both of the ones that think "hey, it's Mega Man, he was awesome on the NES." those voters is pretty likely to abandon him in favor of Mario/Link then there are the ones that go: "Hey, it's X, he was cool on the SNES" those people will probably abandon him if faced with Mario/Link But the last group that go: "wow, it's X. he was so cool on the PS/PS2." is much less likely to abandon him when he is matched with the Nintendo icons. Hence why I believe X will stand better up against Mario and Link than MM would. to be fair, that last group will be much more likely to abandon X when faced with Cloud/Snake/Kratos etc. But at those times, X will have his Nintendo base to fall back on --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
