People have Sora > Bowser, really? Hmmm I thought Bowser was a no-brainer pick there. Anyway, Dante or Ryu?


bowser seems like a good pick since its a night match

This Wesker? Really?


RE5 Fear. With RE5 DLC coming out right around his match to have him fresh in people's minds. Let's do this.

Honestly, I see Ganon beating Sonic and Kirby mostly because his matches are day matches. This means Zelda ASV. This means total devastation for two characters who are good with the ASV but not THAT good.

I've got Sora.

As for Dante/Ryu, went with Dante instantly.

Ken Masters wins with 59.58% of the vote!


That's Ken Masters in 03 against 07 Wesker, mind you. I doubt one game makes up for over a six year loss in relevance, and a very prominent role in RE5 could make up those numbers pretty quickly. I'll stick with the glasses man on this one.

Hmm...trickier match then. Sonic DOES get the morning, but Ganon gets the Power Hour to play with. Hmm...

If Wesker is a main villain RE5, would he be as big as Nemesis? Would you take Nemesis over Ken?

Seginustemple | Posted 12/15/2009 2:44:45 PM | message detail
Let's see, Nemesis' only showing was against Ocelot in 05, a 45/55 match in Ocelot's favor. I'd take that Ocelot over Ken and Wesker about equal to that Nemesis. So yeah, it's feasible in my book.

Well Ken would have to be lower than Chun Li for this to be feasible, or Wesker would have to be higher than Nemesis. Or even a combination of both.. which I can't see happening.

Wesker's always been a wildcard. He tends to either flop or do better than we expected him to. I could see him winning or Ken 60/40ing him. Who knows.

If you compare them to Tekken 6, then yes Brutal Legend is stronger. I've got Eddie Riggs here myself.

Just cycled through Round 1 again, and here are the matches I'm most on the fence about:

Alucard/Magus
Kefka/Arthas
Charizard/Duke Nukem
Tidus/Sub-Zero
Phoenix/Jecht
Sackboy/Kratos Aurion

Giving Sackboy a shot seems kinda crazy, but his game is actually out now, he doesn't have to worry about Snake, and Kratos was pretty awful last year.

I have reservations about picking a PS3 exclusive to be anything better than fodder. Kratos is fodder, but at least he's high end fodder.

Sackboy > Kratos is something I wouldn't be surprised about but probably couldn't bring myself to pick it. Round 1 matches generally aren't worth going for risky picks, unless you have an extremely predictable bracket like 2004.
