Mario levels? I do think Crono would get closer to Mario than last time this year, but that's mostly because of Mario Deboosting. Crono beat Ryu about as badly as Megaman did in 2006......oh I get it now.

Ryu did about as well as he was expected to, and Ammy impressed that day. Dante/Leon may have looked like substantial LFF last year, but Pikachu has sort of vindicated his performance there.

He went from losing to Leon by 5% to beating him into the ground, along with the stronger Dante, just because he was against 3 Capcom characters.

I wouldn't take Zelda over Mega Man, but Sonic looks primed to fall. If he's so entrenched with Nintendo as to lose to Kirby in any format, then I think Zelda would have a shot. She would have probably wrecked him yesterday, and while 1v1 would indeed be a tougher challenge, I think it's possible.

I'd only dare pull the trigger against Sonic, though. So ^5 me or something!

Actually I kind of forgot about X/Zelda/Kip. I won't bother trying to argue the point, because it's not important to my point, and hell it's not like I really think MM is that close to Samus.

You can blame it on the three Capcom characters if you want to, but Pikachu can't be explained. He had absolutely no reason to beat L-Block based on anything.

but to deny Samus and Yoshi overlapping is like denying Squall/Sora last year.

Well, you can look at Mega Man/KOS-MOS/Yoshi/Knux in round 2, if you want to.

But Squall put up pretty much the exact same number on Yoshi this year, so...

Well, yeah. There was a witch hunt for Crono last year after he lost to Vincent. The only reason there isn't one for MM this year is because of Zero's presence (and expectation for him being rock-bottom anyway).

Problem with Sora is that the KH team is dragging their heels like crazy. KHII had a full conclusion, and while a sequel will come it'll be because it's, at this point, a cash cow franchise. The KH team probably doesn't want to make another sequel that much, so they're focusing on spinoffs that deal with stuff from the past and such.

Essentially, KHIII might not come for a quite a while.

After KHIII, Sora's got a realistic shot, I'd say, depending on how well it's received (and if the PS3's gained any ground around here).

But just remember, Sonic's actually supposed to be getting a GOOD game released soon!

It's not delusional; Cloud was less than 100 votes away from doubling Snake in last year's final. I figure the reason Snake did so poorly was either Link, Cloud, L-Block, or some combination of the above. I'm fairly certain Link had some role in it because Samus beat Sephiroth with Cloud in the poll too, and by more than Snake in fact, and while I know Cloud SFF'd Seph harder that time, Link also SFF'd Samus down to 70-30!

Sora got 45% against MM. Since then Sonic has dropped and Sora seems to have gotten a little stronger.

It's possible. Slim, but possible.

All three of them. Seriously, with the run L-Block was on, it was a miracle Snake even broke 10% in that match.

Also, BT, are you so delusional that the idea that Mega Man dropped has not crossed your mind? Zero had to struggle to put away Vivi, a sure sign that he has to have dropped. For Mega Man to NOT have dropped as well is wishful thinking. After all, TIDUS improved on him from their 2004 match.

And Charmander thought Crono would drop to 25%


charmander6000’s Prediction: Link – 37.43%, Crono – 27.42%, Mario – 19.42%, Samus – 15.73%

Uhh...

Also it doesn't look like Crono will be getting back over 26% anyways.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/17/2008 3:43:20 PM | message detail
This year has probably been Square's best year since 2003, so it doesn't surprise me that Tidus looked half-decent for once. As for Zero, I have a hard time explaining that one, but that's mainly because we have no idea where Hayabusa really sits. Vivi was never too far from Zero in the first place, and once again, Square has looked great this year. Squall/Yoshi is all the proof you need for that.

Uh, boosts based on games don't just disappear after a while. Having a game come out half a year before a contest is pretty much as good as it gets short of having a game come out during a contest, and it certainly beats having your only game come out 13 years ago and 3 console generations back.

I'm going to be skeptical of CTDS until I see how it sells and if it generates any longer lasting interest here. By the time it would matter, it'll be pushing a year old - this is for a port that most of this site is in some way familiar with already. With something like CTDS, I'd figure that it's more important to get new fans instead of reinforcing old ones who already consider it one of their favorite games - the latter being the group I figure is most likely to be buying this to begin with.
