I don't think this makes Ike look weak at all, people LOVE penguins. and I am being serious too. I really like Ike and the Fire Emblem series, I've never heard of Prinny and whatever game he's from, but I saw that awesome penguin and I had to vote for it. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.

This is a (great) character from Laharl's series. I don't care if Ike starts doubling him come ASV, this is pitiful.

I seriously doubt most of Prinny's votes are coming from Disgaea fans.

If he's weak enough to lose 40% of the voters based solely on apathy "OMG it's a penguin!" votes, then I take it back - Ike is so screwed against Zidane in that case.

Prinny would probably be putting up 45% against Zidane here. >_>

Prinny isn't even a character per say, he's more like any other pokemon a species of sort, but he's doing great here.
I thought a tripling was on the cards here.

no way, I think OMG its a penguin = only 40% makes Ike look even better against Zidane. >_> Damn I hope I'm right.

I agree, but that's only because I - as I said - view Zidane as even trashier than this. Still an utterly pathetic, wretched performance. Considering how much pre-poll talk there was about how Ike was going to obliterate this day match, alternative explanations ring of damage control.

Damage control? This match doesn't mean anything. I've seen the Stats Topic overreact over results from characters we've never seen before way, way too many times to care about what happens today.

KP is probably *the* biggest Zidane fan around.

I'm aware. We're coming at this from two different angles - his that Ike and Zidane are stronger than the conventional wisdom suggests, mine that they are (far) weaker. The diverging opinions of this match are partially influenced by those judgments, although I never thought Ike could do *this* badly.

And the worst part is validation will be hard to come by, as Ike is still a heavy fave to beat Zidane and he's gonna get munched by Mario in R3. Bleh. =/

(unless... the 2nd best upset ever happens vote for Big Boss people)

'Conventional wisdom' suggests that we don't judge two characters who have had fairly solid and consistent results based on two jokish characters that we've never seen before. But carry on.

I don't care what the Ike Defense Force (aka IDF) says, this is really really bad performance. Gotta like Zidance > Ike, since I'd easily take Claptrap over Prinny. Borderlands has to be more played then Disgaea.

I'd love to see Laharl vs Prinny.

Prinny would definitely beat Laharl. Many people voting for him today probably have no clue who he is. In Prinny vs Laharl, that would still apply, and on top of that even Disgaea fans would be voting for Prinny.

There are 2 possible explanations for this match.

1. Ike hasn't weakened, and Prinny is high fodder/low midcarder
2. Ike has dropped hard, and Prinny is closer to Laharl strength

The 2nd is a lot more likely one would think.

Zidane is high fodder, and he would probably score 45% against Ike in a 24-hour match. That's 8-9 more percent than Prinny will probably have by the end of this. This match doesn't make Prinny decent, it makes him not terrible.

Karma Hunter | Posted 1/25/2010 11:19:37 AM | message detail
At this point, even Zidane's most impressive match is kind of damning now. Amalamadingdong scored almost as much on Shadow as he did. With Ike, I at least have the potential to be spectacularly wrong, although the last time I was this convinced about something and it ended up blowing up in my face was Ryu H/Riku Round 2 2k7.

...although I think I ended up being validated on that! damn you Solid Snake

1. KH, only BT pretends that Amaterasu's name is hard to spell anymore.
2. Ammy is decent. 35% on Crono.

Falcon did crazy good last contest compared to where he was in 2006/2007. If he underperforms against Wander (though as has been said... what) you could chalk 2k8 up as an aberration before anything else.
