I figure that's what got Ken back in.

Ken was one of the characters choosen by the Nomination Rally Tournament. He would have likely got in SF4 or not.

The real travesty is not getting a Sephy/Aerith match.


While it would be kinda funny to see Seph kill Aerith in the poll, it would be much more interesting to see Vincent take Sonic down.

I'm still hoping G-dorf or Kirby can pull it off, but those are long shots.

Anyone else for a Bowser/Mario match? Not much in the Heart division impresses me, assuming the now-old joke block can't float a one on one against anything. I suppose it could ravish the whole division, but I sort of expect people to be over it by now.

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.

Wesker > Ken debatable?

I still like Sora to win that division. Bowser is likely the biggest obstacle given that it would be a night match.

Charizard and L-Block are wildcards, but I trust Sora to win, because at that point it'd be Day Sora against either of them.

Yeah, this is what's giving me doubts. At first i was like Kirby beats Sonic, but wait, that means G-dorf beats Sonic. And i'm really not sure i can pull the trigger on that.

Sora's the favorite to come out of his division, yeah. I figure if you think Bowser breaks 48% (maybe higher since Bowser's also more of a day character) on Sora normally, you give him a shot at winning the night poll, but he hasn't looked good the past few years.

"This Wesker? Really?"

That Wesker was a mostly behind the scenes villian who only big fans of the series really cared about.

This Wesker is the main villian/final boss of Resident Evil 5. There's reason to believe he's significantly stronger. Granted, I don't think he wins (or comes particularly close), but I wouldn't hold past matches against him too much.

Last year's Kirby run, and Kirby gave Bowser a good fight in 2005.

Yeah, it's a long shot, but it's not impossible either.

Kirby got 48% on Bowser in 2005, and Bowser and Ganon were probably about equally overrated, with Ganon a step stronger. Since then Kirby has done pretty well for himself while Ganondorf hasn't....dunno how much of Kirby's run last year was just bandwagoning and 4-ways.

WHOA

128 1v1 with 2 matches/day? This is pretty much the best possible outcome.

I completely forgive Bacon for fourway games divided by era.

I almost forgive Albion since he called it.

Timing is a little weird, but I haven't looked at the matches yet to see how it'll affect things.

You know, Ryu Hayabusa/Master Chief is also pretty interesting. If Hayabusa is anywhere near what he is the last few years, he'll pull another Sub-Zero.

Seginustemple | Posted 12/15/2009 2:20:35 PM | message detail
Eh, half as strong as Vivi + RE5 might cut it against a character who nobody cared about enough to nominate in since 2003. His past matches make him look okay against noble niners, but I want to think he's had a slow decline that's similar or even more steep than Ryu's over five or six years (which is pretty long) but then there's Street Fighter 4 still

god damnit I'll be thinking about this one

I don't think the Xbox base really cares that much more about Halo than their other games. They were certainly willing to ditch Halo for Call of Duty pretty quickly.

Link (Yeah ...)
Sonic (Yes, he has challenges, but I don't think Ganondorf or Kirby will manage it)
Mario (It's Mario, but if Big Boss pulls a miracle with Naked Snake pictures and awesome MGS4 pics, I'd die a happy man)
Sora (Charizard is overhyped, Kratos isn't strong enough, and Bowser will barely fall short. L-Block, nah ...)
Samus Aran (Yep ...)
Cloud Strife (Annihilation ...)
Solid Snake (Yeah!!!)
Sephiroth (LOL Tifa and Vincent and Yoshi and Crono)

That's me.

Going back to Ganondorf, when didn't he do well? He lost to Gordon Freeman, but come on he had Samus in the same fourpack. Beside from that he has always looked like the 4th strongest Nintendo character. ALWAYS.

I guess board 8 are just desperate to see Kirby kicking ass, nothing wrong with that tough ^_^.
