Yeah but you can't really compare Soap to Alucard, Liquid Snake, and Pac-Man can you? Ness has beaten his fair share of guys. Jak, Carl Johnson (his game made just as much noise as CoD4), and Ness has equal'd Scorpion back in the day. I just don't see Soap being that cared about.

You're right, which is why Soap is losing to Big Daddy. But if he somehow makes it to round 2, I think he's got at least even odds against Ness.

Also Soap/Ness would be a night match...

So regardless of who Ness faces, he's toast.

For some reason, Big Daddy's performance in the vote-in somewhat impressed me, and he did well enough on Balthier last year. That was enough for me to take him over Soap.

Who cares if it's night or day? i don't even see it being that close. i'm not going to bother worrying about what time it falls on. all Ness really needs to beat any generic guy is the smash fanbase. This is just the same song and dance for me really.

Looking at those graphs, I see 2 day characters. Ness actually looks a bit better for a night poll due to his extremely good early vote.

the way I see it, that Soap/Big Daddy match is a pretty important one since they get a bye to round 3

Though Leon does bring up a good point, and that was with Andrew Ryan in the poll too. Maybe Big Daddy has gotten stronger since last time we saw him.. or maybe Gordon was hurting him?

The thing with CoD is even though it has a better day vote, its stable at night, while Ness dies at night.

Soap and Big Daddy are characters right in Ness's wheelhouse. Neither of those characters are out of his range. I wouldn't take either of those guys with more than 55% over Jak and CJ.

Well, maybe CJ now, I would.

also something that obviously we can't forget

Soap is a 3 seed, and Big Daddy is a 14. Soap is going to get the casual bracket votes by far.

After 2008, I'd take Big Daddy over Captain MacMillan very easily, so I'll take the Daddy over the Soap. I have a hard time imagining a series like Call of Duty producing one character who's way more popular than the rest. It ain't Halo.

comparing soap to macmillan is a mistake. its like comparing Mario to Toad

MacMillan appeared in one level of CoD4. Soap is the main character of both games
