come to think of it, should Zone of the enders 3 ever be made, are there any kind of franchise mainstays in that series?

ZotE3 would be awesome, but it wasn't exactly a top-seller for Konami or anything so who knows if it gets green-lit. As awesome as it was, it's a cult series at best.

ZoE does not have Board 8 on its nuts, though, and as I recall, the first lead was a whiny ***** while I can't even remember the other one. If those two don't have a pull, it's hard to see someone else being capable of something.

Hahaha, holy **** I can't believe I didn't remember this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3294

Ganondorf's such a loser.

After double-checking, Mario and Samus are the only characters in the Noble Nine who still technically haven't lost to any non-N9ers. L-Block and Kirby pretty much wrecked the **** out of the Noble Nine.

Indeed. Would anyone here actually dare to take Pikachu over Ganondorf, in consideration of this poll a week later?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3301

Going through Samus, those 2 polls give Pikachu 56.70% on Ganondorf. Of course using 2007 and going through Luigi gives Ganondorf a win by a similar margin.

There's people (Other than Red Sox, who gets a pass) who think Crono can still fight Mario 1v1, too. >_>

Well, considering Mewtwo almost lost to Midna, I certainly wouldn't take him over Ganondorf.

LeonhartFour | Posted 12/19/2009 6:04:12 PM | message detail
I think Mewtwo > Pikachu involves the kind of logic that made us think Magus > Crono back in 2003 and 2004. It's just hard to imagine that more people prefer Pikachu to Mewtwo because you never hear of such things (just like I'm sure Crono would probably lose to Magus in a Board 8 contest 9 out of 10 times), but...

It's funny, I'm pretty sure Crono would beat Magus on Board 8 now. But he would have gotten destroyed here up until that match with Knuckles.

Then it got trounced by ? Block. ? Block is the strongest character ever conceived!

And yet ? Block couldn't make it into this contest or last year's contest.

I think ? Block is the only one that can legitimately be considered the strongest character ever, since it beat L-Block a day after it beat ****ing Link. Probably a good thing we'll probably never see it in another contest then, since people will start complaining, "Aw man, ? Block wins the contest every year!

? Block needs to make it into a contest, so we can see how strong it is there.

Whether or not that's passed around to Valve in general or kept to himself, well, he'll probably get most of however much it is, but I recall there was a rally for Spy in the vote-in polls and Portal is part of the Half-Life universe so that's a minimal x-factor I'll put in her corner as well.

There was a rally for Spy in the vote-in polls.

Roxas has a shot I guess if he faces Sub-Zero.. but if its Tidus, then theres not really much chance. Lower end of SFF and all

If Sub-Zero beats Tidus, I don't see how he loses to Roxas. It's not impossible, yeah, but he didn't do well enough last year to make me think he's really in that range. Plus, I don't want to rely on a handheld game for a big boost.

But if 358/2 Days does really well in the GOTY poll, I may change my mind. I won't change my bracket though.

Wow, Gordon Freeman as a 2 seed is funny. I'm actually going to vote for him against Tifa just for bandwagoning purposes (same with Aeris over Auron).

And why are Tifa and Zelda seeded so low? At least we get a lot of good rematches.

At least on Gamefaqs, the hype isn't that big, at least not yet. This isn't like Brawl or TP where the site expected it to be the greatest thing ever and then was let down.
