I'm still not feeling the Charizard love. I have no desire to see him in a contest and would take Mewtwo there pretty easy. --- CB7 Score: 344/448 http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w333/usagiaruku/1224857053726.jpg |

Well, then let me ask this: are there any other Pokemon characters
worth seeing? I'll follow-up with a four-way for the question (note
that I don't know the fanbase so well): Ash Charizard Jigglypuff Squirtle --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I'm pretty sure I've seen all the Pokemon I want to see. Charizard
would probably be the next strongest after Mewtwo, but really, that's
about it. I can't see any of the other 488 of them we haven't seen
being strong enough to make it worthwhile. --- CB7 Score: 344/448 http://64.81.113.250/a-kon-12/000177.jpg |

I'd personally prefer to see Jigglypuff next, just so we can finally have all 12 of the original Smash Bros in these contests. Besides, being in the original and Melee does mean Jiggs has more to draw from than Charizard. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

I'd like to see Jigglypuff, but I doubt she amounts to much. She would
range from CF/Ness tp Pika/Mewtwo. It's not like she smokes CF or Ness
and she wouldn't beat Pikachu or Mewtwo. That's...not a lot of
breathing room, considering Pikachu/CF and Mewtwo/Ness went down this
year. So...let's try this with Jiggly: Alucard Jigglypuff Niko Bellis Pac-Man --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Niko finish WAY behind Pac-Man? He beat Kefka by over 1500 votes, and
has a fanbase about as independent as Alucard's there. I'd bet on Niko
to win, and he certainly wouldn't get blown out. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

And while I'm sure you'd like to skirt this little point - Kefka BEAT Pac-Man. Not only that, he's seemed to stay even with him in every comparison we've had since that win. Couple that with Pac *certainly* having more overlap with Jiggs than anyone else in that match... no, seriously, why do YOU think Pac's capable of winning? *eyeroll* --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Couple that with Pac *certainly* having more overlap with Jiggs than anyone else in that match... no, seriously, why do YOU think Pac's capable of winning? *eyeroll* Character's aren't linear. Besides, Kefka was the huge bracket favorite there, and barely managed to win. Also, Pac-Man looks to have gained a lot since that time. I wouldn't hesitate to pick PM in a rematch. Besides, the one rule I have with Kefka is this: No matter how weak I think he is, he is always at least two times weaker. Right now, I have no confidence in Kefka beating anyone with any sort of strength in these things. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Pac-Man is not Nintendo and has no affiliation to Nintendo. Pac-Man relies on his old-school fanbase. There is no one in this match that will SFF him. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

And hey, we need to seriously look at making the Noble Nine into a
Top Ten and throwing Vincent in there. If it's a winning streak (and
L-Block is thrown out), it would be valid. Only problem is that you'd then have to add in Squall, who's only lost to Snake, Samus, Cloud, Vincent and Sonic, and who I would take over Vincent in a rematch. Also, Squall has been in every battle, which Vincent has not been. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Match LX: Kirby vs. Dante vs. Sephiroth vs. Sonic the Hedgehog Last Round: Kirby – 29.96% Dante – 26.15% Master Chief – 24.12% Leon Kennedy – 19.76% Well for the second time in a row being the odd ball worked in Kirby’s favour. While I expected Dante to defeat Master Chief it was a shock to see Chief so far off from Kirby compare to last round. The advantage Kirby had against Dante won’t be there so will Kirby/Dante II be more exciting? Sephiroth – 38.49% Sonic the Hedgehog – 28.19% Auron – 17.23% Kratos – 16.09% Sonic got his revenge on Auron after his round 2 defeat, but that still doesn’t ignore the fact that Auron defeated him 54/46 and Sonic is still in just as much danger at losing as he was before his last round match. Also even in the face of LFF Sephiroth still looked much better than his competition, but a certain blond hair character could case his early defeat in the semi-finals. Analysis: This is the final match of the round and the last match to stop the eight remaining characters being members of the noble nine. Sephiroth should be fine, but the battle between Sonic, Kirby and Dante could be interesting personally I think the board is hyping any match that has a chance at becoming close. This will be the first time that Sephiroth won’t be having a Final Fantasy character holding him back. Like Cloud 40% is probably a little too much to ask for Sephiroth, but he should approach the upper thirties just like Cloud is doing today. The only thing interesting about Sephiroth is how low will he start with three board favourites in the poll and how well will he do without other Square characters holding him back. While he lost to Auron in round 2 I still think Sonic should be considered the favourite going into this match. First Auron is a strong character and I would probably take him over Dante by more than he defeated Sonic by. Also Sandbag was in the match taking away some Brawl votes that Sonic should have received. While it is expected that Kirby may hold Sonic back more than Sandbag it should be cancelled out by Sephiroth holding Dante back, meaning any overlap the characters have between each other are small. That doesn’t mean that Sonic is a lock it’s just that I’ll be really surprised if Sonic manages to lose this match. The real match is between Kirby and Dante. This time Dante has less things holding him back and turning 46.5% loss into a win shouldn’t be that hard to accomplish. Dante has looked great so far in this contest though that could be explained for the fact that he hasn’t gone against anyone with great strength. Not that Dante is weak, but like last year his competition is just too strong for him to continue. Still between Kirby and himself he does have the better chance at upsetting Sonic. Kirby has taken advantage of being the character with the least amount of overlap between his opponents for two rounds, but now that he’s in a level playing field I’m expecting to see a small drop in strength from him. This round I see Kirby and Dante having a much closer match than they did last round hopefully bringing some entertainment to the final match of the round. Sephiroth walks over everyone while Sonic struggles, but will hopefully be in no danger of losing once the morning vote comes in. For the first time since 2004 the elite 8 will be entirely composed of noble nine characters. Sorry Mega Man is looks like you were to odd one out and you had two chances at making the semi-finals. charmander6000’s Bracket: Sephiroth > Sonic charmander6000’s Prediction: Sephiroth – 38.26%, Sonic – 23.52%, Dante – 19.32%, Kirby – 18.90% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 311/448 Today's Match: Cloud > Solid Snake |

It's amazing how badly Cloud beats Snake. Snake isn't even a weaker NN and Cloud is going to put up 13k on him. Cloud is just really strong, and underrated because he hasn't had a proper 1v1 match against anyone but Link since 2004. Let's see....Cloud currently has 56.85% on Snake. Suppose adding Sephiroth would increase FFVII's share by 5%, that is, that Snake gets 38.15% on Cloud + Sephiroth. In that case, Cloud needs to get 61.68% of Cloud/Sephiroth votes to stay ahead of Snake. He got 64.39% last year, but Cloud/Sephiroth has varied pretty widely through the years. Nonetheless, that looks good for Cloud. If adding Sephiroth adds only 3% to FFVII's share, then Snake gets 40.15% against Cloud/Seph, and Cloud needs 67.08% on Seph, more than a doubling and more than he's ever gotten. That 2% seems to make a big difference. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: Link vs. Crono vs. Mario vs. Samus |
