Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye" and you were like "No way!" And then I was all "We pretended we were going to murder you?" That was great!

I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed. There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends. Because of how unlikeable you are. It says so here in your personnel file: Unlikeable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikeable loner whose passing shall not be mourned. 'Shall not be mourned.' That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted. So that's funny, too.

GlaDOS/Fawful never had much debate, some people saw the chance of an upset and took it. The debate was almost as little as Laharl/Neku.

More like Awful.

As for Altair/Liquid, I have a hard time trusting anything MGS this year despite Ocelot and The Boss. I think the guys that took Snake > Sephiroth are crazy. That said, I think Altair has it. It's probably one of the bigger tossups though.
HaRRicH | Posted 1/22/2010 12:08:53 PM | message detail
Fawful and Red are making handheld-stars look bad while Rikku represented FFX well enough and Cecil's giving hope to Dissidia-characters. I took Jecht and am sticking with it based on what little stuff we've seen that can relate to the match.

If Phoenix can fight one-on-one like he could in four-ways though, he's got a shot.

Except, I didnt exaggerate. He barely beat Ocelot (200 votes is barely), and Ocelot lost 51-49 to Pac Man in 2005. So how am I exaggerating?

I'd take Geno > GlaDOS, so that seems like a no-brainer.

And looking at the Guru, how the hell does Ness have such a majority over Geno?

croy3 | Posted 1/22/2010 12:22:38 PM | message detail
So i was thinking, and ive come to a conclusion that it is extremely hard to change a characters performance year-to-year because of bracket votes. The educated bracketmakers pick the characters who traditionally do well, and here and there pick some small upsets. Once contest time rolls around, voters vote for whoever they have in there bracket. This ends up not giving newer characters or characters who didnt do great in previous contests a chance to, well, get better/stronger. In conclusion it takes several years for characters to improve and no one will drastically change their power from the previous year.

Yeah.

Yep, and with Ocelot being closer to Red than I expected and The Boss reminding me why I should never make late switches in my bracket, I figure Liquid's going to look fine compared to 2008. Altair could boost from AC2 (he and Ezio are both 2-seeds this year, which impresses me considering how much better AC2's supposed to be), but I don't buy it yet...and it'll be amazing if it's enough to catch Liquid. Liquid's beaten Alucard in a close one and is a little behind Luigi...whereas Altair's a little behind Duke Nukem but outdid Niko against him. Pretty clear difference.

Ness (2007c) VS Geno (2007c)

Ness has a strength of 20.46.
Geno has a strength of 15.17.

Ness wins with 62.93% of the vote!
A win of 33,299 with 128,789 total votes cast.


Thats about all that needs to be said about Geno. Since then, Ness has had Brawl, and Geno has had nothing. Theres really no evidence to get Geno a chance there.

Red would have done better if the match was 24 hours, and his performance doesn't make him fodder or anything. You can barely lose to Pac-Man and still be above the fodderline (but just barely) and Pac had a huge picture advantage at the time.

Geno has been stuck against either Squall or Bowser every contest he's been in. Ness has jobbed to every single person he's gone against without any excuse. When has Ness EVER looked like anything but high-end fodder?

Nobody is debating he's high end fodder. But the point is Geno is no where near high end fodder.

I don't have much room to talk about Red considering how I was hyping him, but Ocelot is probably a great deal stronger than he was in 2005 when he lost to Pac-Man. Just look at Liquid or Big Boss.

Red didn't make characters mainly known for their handheld games look good -- he's the protagonist of the #3 RPG and the villain for probably the #6 RPG plus he has an all-but-official character in SSBB. Considering how big his range was supposed to be, he was very low in that range. Red didn't look good, whether or not he won, because he barely won and we know Revolver's history.

I could ask the same about Geno.

As for Ness he looked above the fodder line whenever he's not against a Smash character.

Also Squall/Geno SFF? If there's no overlap between old and new square then what reason is there to think there is one for Geno?
