Mewtwo fell short of hype as well and he too had a Smash game to his name

arguably a more important one

Hey, this has already probably been discussed but I was wondering what the thoughts are on Yuna and her contest strength?

I'm calling that Zack was bandwagoned. Zack got 58% on Wario, do you think Yuna can do the same?

Sackboy actually managed to get in before his game came out, something Bayonetta couldn't do despite more Board 8ers fighting for her. He could be stronger this year. He also drew an awful opponent last year. He's an underdog, but I think he could be a worthwhile gamble.

Same with Gordon. He just won a pretty big contest. All Valve has to do is dip their fingers in once more and Tifa is forked. Even without direct Valve interference, some residual support from the GameSpot contest can really make things heated, and the match's timeframe favors Gordon as well. I'm not biting on this one just yet, but calling it a done deal is awfully presumptuous.

Yuna vs Zack is a tossup, and the winner loses to Mega Man.

^ See this is a major issue for me, I just don't get megaman. I've never played any megaman games, so I don't understand his strength. Why is he so strong?

Oh man, bracket time! Good times.

Sonic versus Lightning, that match is crazy. FF XIII looks great, and Lightning looks like a cool heroine, but it's kind of weird having characters from something that's not out yet in the contest.

I mean, I'm pretty much voting based on trailers, versus that guy from one of the cooler platformer series of the 16-bit generation.

Who are you guys voting for on that one?

he would come close to losing to a night duke. People seem to forge that Night Duke is a different level of strength then the Duke if you count his day vote

You're really overestimating the difference between day and night, Albion. Not even taking into account the trend shifts that are inevitable from this change, tt's the first 12 hours against the last 12 hours of the poll. It's not the dead zone against the ASV.

zack wouldn't have been as strong till when he finally got in due to his game he starred in. And MMX of course would have always been strong but he was never allowed in cuz Ceej called him a clone.

I'm talking about characters who didn't have barriers keeping them from making the contest

Mega Man X wasn't considered eligible by Ceej though, so who knows if he would've gotten in before 2007. There was no reason to nominate Zack before last year. He certainly wouldn't have been as strong.

Finally looked at the bracket and got caught up with reading everything in this topic.

Lopen | Posted 12/15/2009 3:27:36 PM | message detail
So interesting things, assuming the bracket starts with a Night match as the rules seem to imply:

- All of Link's matches will be at night. Alucard > Link all part of the plan !
- All of Sora's matches will be night matches. "Lol fodder"
- All of Master Chief's matches will be day matches. GAME FUEL, believe.
- Crono vs Missingno is a day match haha this could be fun.


XD at Lopen.

I'm not a huge fan of 12 hour matches. Vote totals will suck for night matches.

Although this could be countered by the fact that the first hour of a night match would get more votes than the first hour of a day match.

MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 12/15/2009 4:31:25 PM | message detail
night votes should have smaller vote totals all around, helping the more hardcore characters i would think


Good for L-Block and Weighted Companion Cube, since they have night matches. They just need to build up a large enough lead to last for only 12 hours. I think L-Block and Weighted Companion Cube would perform better with night matches than day matches.

L-Block is going up against HK-47 in round 1 and Isaac in round 2 and both of them should have a bad night vote (Isaac definitely will). L-Block looks good for round 3 there.


The only thing that seems interesting here is which type of match gets better votals with the board vote alone. The night match or the day match?

Of course Duke looked amazing during the night vote there; he was up against two Smash characters and Altair. His night vote is fairly good, but it isn't going to matter here.

Not sure I'd take Charizard that close to Mewtwo though. He's the FACE of R/B/Y just as much as Blastoise is from what I can tell, maybe his card was worth a bit more back in the day.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/15/2009 3:26:50 PM | message detail
I don't think the Pokemon can cause too much damage one way or the other. Pikachu hits a brick wall at Snake. Red hits another at MMX. Mewtwo is done at the start (barring an SFF upset that would make this place unbearable for a while). I think Charizard has the most potential for damage, which is why I actually have him over Duke and Kratos.

Kratos/Pika was 55/45 on GameSpot, right? I wouldn't be surprised if Charizard is stronger than Pikachu, and I expect a Kratos/Pika match to be a bit closer here, regardless.

Actually, now that I think about, you Poke-fans should probably roll the dice on Mewtwo>Ganon. At least that one has the potential for weird SFF crap from Ganondorf. It seems more worthwhile than Red>MMX.

This may no longer be true. The first few hours get as many votes as they do because they are the first hours of the match. Turn noon- 1PM into the first hour of a match, and it will probably outdraw a midnight - 1AM starting hour.

If you want NRT, then Tifa. Pokemon is an ensemble cast. There's going to be a big difference in their nomination strength and actual strength.

Why's that? If he's stronger than Pikachu, it could easily be a fight. There's no law that states Pikachu has to be the strongest Pokemon.
