Still
taking Yoshi in a rematch with Luigi. He won the first match and he
always wins the favorite Mario character polls, so...... I have no clue how the Bowser/Yoshi/Luigi triangle works in matches between themselves.

Why the hell are we debating Ryu H vs Master Chief when it's obvious Spy is going to kick both their asses? Ryu H's performance against Crash is kinda sad. Master Chief's much stronger than his 2004 anti-Xbox GameFAQs self, and Crash hasn't exactly done anything of note besides a bunch of crappy games nobody even knows existed. Even with MC around his worst and Crash around his best, MC still scored a higher percentage than Ryu is pulling off here. I guess you could blame lower votals, but still. Master Chief is not going to be a pushover. GameFAQs likes the Xbox line now. Master Chief may not be 2007-level strength, but he's also not the same chump who almost lost to Felix. Master Chief's much more well-known and has had a lot of solid match behind him in recent years. He'll pull a respectable performance against Spy and get 55-60% on Ryu next round. Thinking MC's weak enough to lose to Ryu H is like thinking Gordon's still weak enough to lose to Tina Armstrong. Master Chief now is a whole other beast than the Master Chief of before. --- Not Wylvane |

Luigi
didn't exactly blow out Kirby or anything, and Pikachu was eerily close
to him in 2k7. Fox isn't exactly a chump, either. That match doesn't
sit well, as I said. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Crash
today is nowhere near Crash of the past. Didn't he get blown out by
KOS-MOS once upon a time? He's actually been decent in 4-ways and
statistically speaking he's right around the fodder line; I doubt Chief
would get 70% himself if only Samus managed a tripling. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Again,
Bowser and Yoshi have plenty of reason to fall the past couple of years
due to increased irrelevancy (besides Bowser's Inside Story, which only
came out recently), while Luigi's been in the limelight as much as ever
while shaking off his wuss-stigma. Luigi has great reason to be above
Bowser and Yoshi at this rate. Yet I have a feeling I'll have to post this a few more times before people actually read it. --- Not Wylvane |

I
don't buy Halo getting any special respect on this site -- whether it
be Halo barely beating SW:KotOR to determine the biggest game on the
Xbox, Halo 3 losing to several then-less-established FPS-games like
CoD4 or Portal to maintain its position as the FPS-series of our time, or MC against other Xbox-prominent characters. I mean, do you take MC to SFF HK-47? SFF GlaDOS or WCC? Would Halo SFF Morrowind? This site and the internet in general has shown a pretty clear disdain for the series, so I don't count on him to SFF much of anything not Halo-related. MC's looking good to win this match if he doesn't choke against Spy, but MC's not winning over Hayabusa because of an Xbox-hierarchy. If he wins, it's because he's stronger. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Luigi
rising relative to Bowser/Yoshi isn't what caused that group to be
confusing in the first place. Yoshi's dominance of the favorite Mario
character polls did that. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: LeonhartFour | #462 Who knows? Fox did pretty darn well against Sora in R1 and dismantled Pikachu back in the day. If he's still clearly stronger than Pikachu, who held up relatively well against Luigi, I can see Fox doing as well as he did no problemo. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Fox did pretty well, but he was closer to Chris Redfield than he was to Sora at the same time. Speaking of Fox/Pikachu, I'd like to see how that match goes today, actually. We've already seen Sora turn around a doubling on Aerith. I have a feeling Pikachu could do the same. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/26/2010 9:46:39 PM | message detail |
I've
always thought very highly of Fox, and don't hold that against Yoshi at
all. He put 25% on Cloud in 2002, doubled Pikachu, and did only a tad
worse against Link than Yoshi did, before his contest hiatus of several
years. In that time he became the face of SSBM, while Smash became
dramatically stronger, so he had plenty of reason to be strong when he
returned to the contest. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

while shaking off his wuss-stigma. Luigi has great reason to be above
Bowser and Yoshi at this rate. Every game Luigi's in, Bowser is in too. There's no reason Bowser would become irrelavent when Luigi is rising. Yoshi probably has the best reason of any of them to boost now (since it looks like Bowser's Inside Story doesn't count for much here) because he just had his first appearance in a major Mario game since what..

Eh,
I can kind of see an Xbox character hierarchy. Not so much a game
hierarchy considering how weak the Halo games are here, but I can see
Master Chief being the strongest Xbox character. The thing is, there aren't really "Xbox characters" like there are Nintendo characters or Square characters. It'd be like filing Vercetti, Kratos, and Crash into a PS2 hierarchy. I'd feel confident Kratos would crush any non-Square PS2 character, but is it really PS2 hierarchy or just Kratos being stronger than a bunch of characters on his console? Yeah, on second though, I'm not buying the Xbox hierarchy myself. Sorry, guys. --- Not Wylvane |

It isn't if you take Crash's 4-way results against Samus seriously.

From: Not_Wylvane | #472 This is actually a very good point. With the increased popularity of multiplatform games, you start seeing less and less "This character is a _________ character" because they're very rarely associated with one console anymore. Console loyalty or company loyalty was something that really didn't matter by the time the XBox rolled around. --- "Spoil it for me.

This
Master Chief will console SFF Ryu nonsense is monkey-tard levels of
dumb, honestly. This is GameFAQs, not XBoxfanboymagazine.com. This is
one of those "...seriously, stats topic?" moments. MC should be significantly stronger than Ryu, especially during the day. But needless to say, nothing is given with Chief. Especially with Halo 3 hype even further removed now. It's possible Chief has weakened, though I could not guess what the probability of that is. I don't buy Halo getting any special respect on this site -- whether it be Halo barely beating SW:KotOR to determine the biggest game on the Xbox, Halo 3 losing to several then-less-established FPS-games like CoD4 or Portal to maintain its position as the FPS-series of our time, or MC against other Xbox-prominent characters.

This site and the internet in general has shown a pretty clear disdain for the series, so I don't count on him to SFF much of anything not Halo-related. MC's looking good to win this match if he doesn't choke against Spy, but MC's not winning over Hayabusa because of an Xbox-hierarchy. If he wins, it's because he's stronger. ^Yeah, what he said. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

So
why is Crash's number on Samus weird? Isn't Crash through Magus giving
you a similar result anyway? (as in, the Magus that got trounced by
Alucard?) I don't see anything Crazy about Crash being high end fodder. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |
ZFS | Posted 1/26/2010 9:52:31 PM | message detail |
If he wins, it's because he's stronger. Yep, this is a good post. If Hayabusa loses it won't be because he got SFF'd thanks to being lower on a 'Xbox hierarchy.' I will say it makes sense for some characters to share fans, but Hayabusa and Master Chief don't strike me as pulling from the same group of people. Hayabusa isn't even strictly an Xbox character to begin with. Both of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II are on the PS3. --- wheresoever you go, go with all your heart |

From: MoogleKupo141 | #471 Bowser's only big game besides M&L3 was Galaxy, which he wasn't too big a factor in other than the token boss, and Bowser didn't even do much in NSMB or NSMBW, with Bowser Jr. doing all the work (most underrated character ever, BTW). Meanwhile, Luigi's back to being the number 2 for Mario, and Galaxy was the first time Luigi was playable in a 3D platformer (sorry, Luigi's Mansion, but people want Luigi to ****ing jump), plus he's unlockable in NSMB. And he's not a wuss in any of them! Bowser and Yoshi are essentially non-entities compared to Luigi at this point. Of course, this year could be different thanks to Bowser's Inside Story giving Bowser his first huge role in awhile and NSMBW finally putting Yoshi back in the limelight (though honestly it's easy to forget Yoshi's even in the game since he's only available in a few levels and you can't use him outside of them, essentially making Yoshi the Kuribo's Shoe of NSMBW). Of course, Yoshi has SMG2 to look forward to, and that's probably the boost he'll need to keep up with everyone else. Better hope Yoshi plays a bigger role in SMG2 than he does in NSMBW! --- Not Wylvane |
