It's been months and there are still a few people who haven't figured out how the nomination process works? --- FastFalcon believed in Snake. I didn't. |

Yeah, because we haven't needed a reason to care about the rules in months. Can't fault him too badly there. --- Play Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (1 and 2) for Gameboy Advance today |

because I have so little to do with my time that I stare at the

and haven't looked again. --- This lasagna is the bomb, yo! hail ec your lord and savior |

From: HaRRicH | #155 It hasn't. People just pretty much assumed they only made up for seeding, not noms. Bacon has never said one way or the other. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

"User nominations will count for 1/3 of the bracket seeding; the other
2/3 will be based on professional review scores and GameFAQs user
rating and review scores." Was there ever any doubt? That's pretty self-explanatory. Nominations count for 1/3 of the seeding, the other 2/3 are ratings/reviews. --- Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! |

I think the idea there is that noms determine the 64, reviews and noms determine the seeding. I don't know. don't care either! --- xyzzy 6:10:50 |

From: ZFS | #157 Its kinda vague. While most likely it is the seeding only, Its not 100% for sure and I can see somep eople being confused by it. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

tran's got the right idea here. Ratings/Reviews aren't determining what
games get in, they're just affecting the seeding of the ones that do
via nominations. --- Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! |

Whoa, surprised Vega is handling Bison this easily. Maybe he'd be worth
seeing if we ever get another 128 character bracket. ...though first we
should be concentrating on Ken. --- thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon! (thengamer.com/xstats & board8.wikia.com are neat) |

Vega. I never understood why Akuma would be popular. I think at least half of the original 12 characters could beat him. I thought Sagat was more popular, but I voted for Vega. He's awesome. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. FastFalcon05 > Me |

It was a crime Akuma got in over Ken. Ken has some real mid card
strength being able to get 35% on a noble niner, its a shame we haven't
seen him be able to do more --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

Ken got in over Akuma twice. Akuma was due a shot before Ken was due a third, no matter his bad draws and respectable showings. I'd like to see Ken again now that SF4 is new though. That should be worthwhile. --- Play Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (1 and 2) for Gameboy Advance today |

Ken got in twice in 2002 and 2003, with first round matches against
noble niners... which is essentially never getting in since he wasn't
given a chance to do anything but lose. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/152/14563828pc9.gif |

I don't think most of GameFAQs cares for SF outside the various SF2
games and the upcoming SF4. Akuma seems too niche to hang with most of
the various SF2 characters. I'd take Vega over him for sure. I'm still surprised Zangief was last. He wrestles bears, dances with his country's president, and is a strong role model in the homosexual community. I really wonder if he would bomb horribly in an actual contest or if his hidden bear-like strength would allow him to live a round or two. --- Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 |

From: HaRRicH | #176 Ken got in over Akuma twice. Akuma was due a shot before Ken was due a third, no matter his bad draws and respectable showings. No. Ken was put up against two Noble Niners and got in the mid thirties both times, I believe. He hasn't been seen in a contest since 2003. Ken deserves more of a shot than Akuma no matter how you spin it. Hell, I'd say Vega, or even Guile are worth more of a spot than Akuma. --- i have nothing against pedophiles especially the ones that actually act on their desires-Palmer Now this is entertainment! |

I've never understood this Vega love. I agree Ken should be the next street fighter in.

Ryu > Ken > Chun-Li > Bison > Vega > Guile > Akuma You could even make the argument for several other characters like E Honda and Cammy to be better than Akuma, given how badly he sucked it up in 2007. I didn't even know who he was until someone explained it. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

are you serious? you cant make a single argument for E. Honda given how
terrible he is on the multi-polls. Akuma is guaranteed to be stronger
than him. Akuma didnt even 'badly suck it up' seeing how he was well ahead of Geno who is arguably near the fodder line. personally i think Bison/Vega/Akuma is all debatable. Guile can have a few cases but I don't think his appeal lasts too long. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

how many people know who the hell Akuma is? I'd vote SF2 over a lot of games, and if I didn't get into these contests like I do I'd have no idea who the hell Akuma is. I imagine there's a lot of people like me. --- The Monster Jam! all hail ec your lord and savior |

E. Honda beats Akuma 1v1. So you think E. Honda would be close to Aeris in a 4 way poll. Okay. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

I'd say Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li are locks to beat Akuma, and I might
gamble with Blanka and Guile (especially after Blank's surprising
performance yesterday). Dhalsim, Honda, and Zanggy... they don't have
much of a chance. They may be Original 8, but their appeal and
popularity are down the tubes compared to the other five. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I agree that Honda's appeal is way down comparatively to those you've
mentioned, but I just seriously doubt how many votes Akuma can actually
pull in, in a 1v1 setting. --- The Monster Jam! all hail ec your lord and savior |

what makes you think E. Honda will pull in more? simply because he's one of the original 8? you gotta have a line somewhere. merely because you're known doesnt mean you'll be voted over the other character. it's Street Fighter vs Street Fighter. it's whoever the people like more really. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Akuma's niche and he's being a tad overrated in this topic, but I still
wouldn't choose E Honda over him. At least Akuma has a fan base. And I say that as someone who voted for E Honda. Fat guys own. --- Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 |

Akuma is certainly not an unknown character. even his looks alone may garner votes from people. If there's anybody that still plays SF to this day, they at least know him. and there are plenty of hardcore SF fans to support Akuma over E. Honda of all people. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

| Akuma might have a stronger fanbase than Honda,
but people actually know who the **** Honda is. I'm not calling Honda a
lock by any means, but I'd pick him and not look back. I reckon Honda
would get the vast majority of apathy votes due to people actually
knowing who he is, even if Akuma is more well-liked within the hardcore
SF fanbase. --- The Monster Jam! all hail ec your lord and savior |
