Whatever happened to all the previous WoW talk anyways? It was looking to be the next Zack.... Well, Albion's back from purg, so MM vs WoW is certainly a good way to start things! --- http://www.court-records.net/manga/4koma/(eng)4koma2.png Hail FastFalcon, our new guru overlord! |

uh... I'd take MM over WoW. pretty much any decently liked game will beat that thing imo. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Yeah, any game with decent strength will be able to take WoW, especially one-on-one. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

MM > WoW, easily. The difference between WoW and Zack is that WoW is not actually strong. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |

So... Ken`s about even with (he`s the one slightly leading) Chun Li. I`d take that to mean he`s worth a 3rd chance in these things! --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

Ya know looking at the character models of FFXIII and VS XIII I reckon we got our top guys since X waiting to be unleashed. It's clear that X has the strongest cast after VII since IX and VIII only have one worthwhile character strength wise(maybe 2 after Dissidia). I'm sure that Lightning,Snow and Noctis will make up for Balthier's disappointing showings. Heck I expect one of the three to be Dante level and the others around Leon Kennedy level. Now come on if only that game could be released. I want my perfect flowing hair. --- Pearl FC:3953 0978 7217 |

Obviously Ken is stronger than Chun Li. But I like her more so I hope she gets the day vote :D --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. FastFalcon05 > Me |

VIII and IX have one worthwhile character each: Squall and Vivi. Though, Vivi relies HEAVILY on his appearance. --- i have nothing against pedophiles especially the ones that actually act on their desires-Palmer Now this is entertainment! |

How is Ken so far behind Ryu? He's the most played character of SSF2THDR... --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

I think Chunners gets the "omg hawt" pic vote which puts her around Ken in an actual contest.

nah, Ken's always been stronger. it goes Ryu >> Ken > Chun
>= Bison with everyone else being slightly behind Bison for the most
part. not sure where Akuma falls in, he could be up there with Ken or
way behind the original 8. depends how many people stuck around after
SF2 - if he had enough of 'em, he'd be an easy second. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

I'd agree except that I don't think Sakura comes close to the O8. Guile probably handles her and Blanka too. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

it's too bad Akuma wasn't introduced 'til ST -- he'd be the Mewtwo to
Ryu's Pikachu, if you will. he'd probably be stronger than Ryu. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

I've always been a proponent of the idea that Akuma could be the second
strongest Street Fighter. Too bad he didn't get a fair shake in 2007. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Akuma.. stronger than Ryu? hm.. i dunno. cant picture it especially after what we've seen of him. Akuma is cool and all but I can't see him actually being far away from Chun Li at least right now. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 2/15/2009 11:53:51 AM | message detail |

Yeah, Akuma's problem was his late introduction to the series. It all
really depends on how well-received Alpha (and the Capcom/SF Versus
spinoffs) were because he plays pretty big roles in those. I'd imagine
SFIII is a non-factor though. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |
| MarioSuperstar | Posted 2/15/2009 11:57:32 AM | message detail |

that's the only thing that makes me think he wouldn't come close to
Ryu. his appeal is definitely the highest among most characters though. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Just thinking about it, and while on the subject of Street Fighter, if
the bracket is still not up in a week, do you think it would be wise to
nominate SFIV while the hype is still around? --- The Gamer In Me |
| transience | Posted 2/15/2009 12:08:30 PM | message detail |
|
yeah, he obviously isn't stronger than Ryu now. I'm saying if he was
front and center in original SF2. Akuma is *the* fan favourite. there
is no debate on this. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

and yeah I'm highly considering nominating SF4. I might go make a topic right now actually. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

Akuma would've been broken as all get-out in the original SFII. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

it can't have been much worse than him in ST! either way he's definitely the Mewtwo of the game - really popular with casuals, broken as all hell, stylish and cool and "badass". Akuma rocks everyone else on design and appeal. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |

I'll take Ken to beat Chun-Li nicely and Akuma to barely beat M. Bison. Chun-Li/Akuma would be good, but I'd side with Chun-Li. Also, for the record, I've sent SB a feedback ticket to see if he'd do a poll like today's but with the rest of the SF-cast instead of the original eight (like we've seen polled multiple times). I'd love to see how the SF2-bosses held up in comparison to the rest of the post-SF2 cast, especially without Ryu taking 39+% during it. It would also be a great opportunity to see just how legit Akuma is since it's not like any of the rest would be powerhouses; M. Bison is just over Kefka as of 2k5, and if Akuma's not in the poll then you have to assume M. Bison's the favorite in such a poll. It would be a good test for Akuma. --- Play Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (1 and 2) for Gameboy Advance today |

I honestly can't see Akuma as stronger then Ken. I think this is more
of Ken being SFF'd to the ground by Ryu due to them beign pretty
similiar characters... but I believe Ken would do 65-35 on Chunners. Don't forget Ken put 35% on Samus. I don't see Chunny or Akuma being close to that. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

According to Lol Xstats, 2007 Akuma would get 25% on 2002 Samus, and
2005 Chun Li (her most accurate value since its not boosted by female
bracket) would get 30% on 2002 Samus --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

good idea on nomming SF4... I'm gonna go get... oh hey I just realize
the account I nommed with got banned. Guess I should make a new set of
nominations. Or will that invalidate my other ones because they're
going to count? Maybe I'll just not do anything. --- This lasagna is the bomb, yo! hail ec your lord and savior |

Game reviews and all that are two-thirds of the process. I imagine RE5
would have to triple the nominations of every other game to get in. That said...haha, sounds fun to try. --- Play Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (1 and 2) for Gameboy Advance today |
