I wonder who the bracket favorite overall is.

I would say Alucard.

Alright, quick Red-test before his match: where would you put him in the Nintendo list below when he has the PT-pic? Does your opinion change if he gets artwork or a sprite (say how if you do)?

Bowser
Fox McCloud
Donkey Kong
Wario
Captain Falcon
Ness
Diddy Kong

If you'd order these guys differently, say so, but this looks about right.

I take Bowser over PT for sure. The rest...I almost certainly take PT over Diddy and probably Wario, too. I'd probably side with Fox and DK. Ness and Captain Falcon, that's a push.

I'd take Fox over Red. I think The Captain has a decent argument to be higher than Wario and DK, as well.

Wario beat Captain Falcon straight up in 2007, but after the way the Captain performed in 2008, it seems easy to forget that.

Well, it's either that or look at Captain Falcon getting tripled by Crono. He has 3 times as many 4-way matches as 1-on-1 matches. I know you don't like them, but we have to use something.

I think The Captain has a decent argument to be higher than Wario and DK, as well.

Wario beat CF in 2007 before his first appearance in the SSB-series, so -- even though Fox was hording the votes that match -- Wario > CF feels safer. That was my reasoning for the ranking, anyway.

But for whatever the reason, Falcon > DK seems strange to me. I couldn't bring myself to pick it, even if it is DK.

Kinda makes sense that Wario would **** it up. He probably bet against himself and laughed his fat ass to the bank. Guy seriously makes me sick.

DK and Wario are absolutely horrid these days. Falcon's one good year is enough for me to take him over them without much worry.

RPGuy96 | Posted 1/16/2010 5:51:42 PM | message detail
Forgot about that. Maybe Wario's stronger than I thought...and the Zack match supports that I guess. I'd definitely go with Falcon > DK now, though - DK got 40% on Tidus and SFF'd Falcon got 39% on the rat last year. And the rat beat Tidus straight up.

Wario's ALWAYS been horrid, and he still beat Captain Falcon. I'm not sure what to take of Falcon's 2008 because he didn't have a clean match either round.

I think they're all around the same level of popularity and the only thing that separates them is just appeal or their own games.

I'm loving this result. Magus getting crushed, and Alucard continues to age gracefully.

Having Sonic = Alucard is a bonus. I can't wait for some major bombing from Sonic characters later on.

Also can't wait to see Red bomb in three hours. 12-hour polls are even better than I anticipated!

The 60,000 votals has lead me to believe Ocelot will win this (barring something unforeseen like Red being a powerhouse). In the night, who's going to get more support, the Pokemon character or the MGS character? Silly question!

Red is merely an avatar. Doesn't talk, doesn't do anything memorable as a character, you can name him whatever you want, so most people don't even think of him as Red, his Brawl form (likely to be pictured) is only named Pokemon Trainer, etc.

Though maybe I would take Ocelot if it was just "Red"

If he's listed as Pokemon Trainer Red on the poll I'd pretty confident he'll win.

Man, I really see another Vincent Vs. Kerrigan coming up for Red Vs. Ocelot and/or Drake Vs. The Boss. People are getting very rude and snippy about matches already.* May have to head out of this topic if we reach those levels again.

*Including this one, which was a 50/50 chance!

Yeah, there has been a lot of unnecessary arrogance for both of those matches. That said (and I hate to add to it anymore than necessary), Red has so much more range and comes from such bigger games than Ocelot that I'll be surprised if he loses anyway. Drake/Boss is probably going to be tight though.
