You all just completely dismiss any western character you don't know =\ I'm not saying he'll win, but he shouldn't be completely blown out or anything either.

Character Battle VIII - 11/16 - Today's Winners: Mario and Big Boss
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 1/24/2010 4:55:40 PM | message detail
Claptrap's probably gonna do better than most of you think.

Zidane won't lose or anything, but Zidane is pretty damn weak. Dude lost convincingly to Ness and barely beat Shadow.

what would you expect Sandal to get on Zidane?

drop that by like 8% and that's what Claptrap should get.

-shrugs- Ever since the bracket released, the zidane/claptrap match has had me worried. seems like a trap match to me, and one that nobody talks about cuz it just seems obvious... but I don't know.

But seriously, it's got nothing to do with Claptrap being western. It's got everything to do with Claptrap being a camera box. As far as I know, the thing doesn't have the appeal of a Cube or a Tetris piece. I've never heard ANYONE talk about it ever outside of this topic. I could at least say I heard people talk about Portal before GlaDOS and WCC and people had been rallying for L-Block for years. I don't see this thing getting joke appeal, which is the only chance it has, quite honestly.

Ness and Shadow are probably significantly more popular than a box named claptrap, too!

Difference between Sandal and Claptrap is that people who played Borderlands know what a Claptrap is. Claptraps are much more prominent in the game than a single character like Sandal.

There's people who have played Dragon Age and have no idea who Sandal was.

It actually got in with a b8 rally. I remember at least 30 people nomming it in that rally topic.

Whoo, 30 people. I did see that rallying topic, but I never looked at it. Claptrap should do better than Sandal because I hear you can't play Borderlands without knowing what one is, but I can't see the thing having widespread appeal.

Note: If Claptrap wins, it's not because of a western boost

Zidane is higher fodder. That should be enough for 60%+ on a joke character from a semi-popular FPS game on GameFAQs.

And seriously, Layton couldn't even get 10% in a fourpack that wasn't that strong. Isaac went even with Lucario, who I'd imagine wouldn't be far off from Kain or Raiden.

From what I hear about Claptrap, is he's closer to Vault Boy than Sandal. As in, he's on menus, and he's seen all over the game. So you can't play Borderlands without knowing him.

Claptrap's probably not going to get doubled, but there's very little chance of him pulling off the upset. Zidane's a low midcarder, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.

Prinny/Ike, though, is. Ike's a midcarder, Prinny comes from a franchise whose game beat Fire Emblem thanks to SFF from Melee and Zelda.

I wonder what would happen to this place if both Claptrap and Prinny won?

Well, Zidane/Claptrap and Ike/Prinny like Fawful/GlaDOS and Cube/Sandal to me. Guessing percentages on these is a total crapshoot. I went way too low with my Oracle with Cube and GlaDOS, so I went to the other extreme and went high with Zidane and Ike.

Which, of course, means they'll both struggle to break 60%.

Probably not by a lot. Whatever Cube gets on The Boss is probably close to what it would get on Zidane.

Claptrap shouldn't stand a shot against Zidane, especially with Dissidia if it means anything...but my brother really liked Claptrap from Borderlands, enough to load it up and show it to me in the menu. It's a recurring guy in the game so people know it, plus it had enough nominations to skip past the vote-in polls without much of a B8-rally (or its company rallying for it before people bring up Sandal). Throw in that Zidane's weak, and I figure Claptrap'll aim for the high-thirties. Who knows though -- it's a weird new character from an original title and Zidane's got a new game.
