What's the consensus on Alucard/Magus? I took Alucard without thinking, but both characters recent performances are drawing a blank in my mind. I immediately see Alucard as a sweet sixteen character still, and that's drawing from like 03.


I went Alucard cuz Magus has to deal with the dead zone while alucard is typically steady at night

I took Magus. He's already been stronger than Alucard in most of the years, and all he'd really have to do is maintain his strength. Chrono Trigger DS should do enough to at least pull off a close win if you ask me.

MMX is a pretty safe Top 15 and a possible Top 10. I think these are the early stages of POKEFEAR.

Trust your instincts.

I went with Alucard, but not necessarily because of anything Alucard has done lately.

It's just that Magus during the day is perhaps the best character at finding ways to lose.

I love Ocelot and I have Red over him. His 2008 match was just pathetic

Red has no chance in hell of beating MMX, but I'm picking it anyway because I like to do things like that.

Not sure where the Ocelot debate is coming from either. Red's path is pretty set-in-stone.

Alucard (2007c) VS Magus (2007c)

I wanted to take RBY far last contest and hyped it for months before as a potential (lower) top 10 game, and let the board plus LFF talk me out of it. Not doing that again with Red.....no matter what happens, this hype train will be fun.

Man I could easily apply that logic to 'If MM/RBY is debatable for even a second, no way is RBY making Round 4'.

I mean I agree he loses but wasn't Zack debated to lose to Wario? And he almost beat the other plumber with the M in his name instead?

I know Red has a large range, but all I'm saying is if you think Red and Ocelot would have a close match, then he's not taking down MMX. MMX is stronger than that.

I think Squall is favored over Auron to begin with. After that he get a rematch with Solid Snake at night. The banner isn't going to make much of a difference.

I have it as Leon vs. Ryu but I'm shaky because I have no idea how much SFIV will do for him. I figure that's what got Ken back in.

And I have Leon and Wesker winning those matches, respectively. I'd call the first one a no real reason upset and the second one I think is debatable.
