Hayabusa's
big game is pretty Xbox-oriented... but he does have a bunch of
non-xbox appearances... MC should SFF him to a degree, but he does have
NES/PS3/DS stuff to draw from as well for the three people who played
the DS game. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |

For
me to even begin to buy that Ryu Hayabusa would be affected at all by
an 'Xbox hierarchy', him and Chief would need to share similar trends. They don't. ToS characters have the exact same trends as every other Nintendo character. Chief and Ryu aren't even close. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

It is when Ninja Gaiden games apparently have a god awful playrate on gamefaqs if the goty polls are any indication. Which is why Hayabusa is fodder, oh wait. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 16/22 - Today's Winners: Ryu Hayabusa and Master Chief |

From: Lopen | #400 seriously. like i said earlier, he woulda beaten both kirby and dante in final 12 horus of those matches last year, and nobody would consider Ryu H at that level. People need to lay off of him as being weak when he's a high mid carder if not better. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

From: Lopen | #400 Not sure what Auron/Zero has to do with this because Auron would wipe the floor with Chief. Zero doesn't have to be that strong for Hayabusa to beat Chief. --- "Hold on a minute!

Snake
SFFd Hayabusa because Hayabusa gets a lot of 'hey, that guy looks cool'
votes. 'Badass SFF' or whatever. Snake stole all of them. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Do I really need to bust out games =/= characters? But it's the same basic theory. If anything games would fall into a hierarchy better than characters anyway. Do you deny that point? This is also excluding the fact that a noticeable part of Hayabusa's popularity comes from his design anyway. --- "And you mustached brothers shall be the delicious mustard on that bread!

Lopen | Posted 1/26/2010 9:25:55 PM | message detail |
I'm saying the only evidence to support Chief being weaker than Ryu H was that one match with Zero from 2k8 By the way I called that match right and I still don't think it's worth the bandwidth it's printed on as it relates to Hayabusa's strength. There were definitely... factors... to support Ryu H there that don't really necessitate being too much stronger than he was in the past. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Yeah,
all of this is about whether or not Hayabusa is stronger than the
Chief. I still stand by that if the Chief wins it will be because he's
stronger. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 16/22 - Today's Winners: Ryu Hayabusa and Master Chief |

From: UltimaterializerX | #343 Pretty much. The Xbox was my main console (I had like 4 games for my PS2 since it got DREs and stuff for a while before I fixed it myself since Sony wanted me to renew the warranty for $200 to fix it LOL). And I had tons of friends who also had an Xbox and was heavily involved in the Halo community (check my only FAQ for proof). Anybody who thinks that Ninja Gaiden and Halo do not share a lot of their fanbase just never had an Xbox. The hierarchy exists for other consoles, and it definitely does for the Xbox. --- CBVIII: 19/21 - 19 pts - Losses: Ocelot, Liquid Day Pick:Zack Fair Night Pick: Ryu H |

Heck the heirarchy breaks down for Nintendo too. Mario > Kirby yet Meta Knight defeated Peach for example.

Even
if Ryu H is stronger, Chief still has a great shot to win cuz its a day
match. The dude can change 8-10% from night to day vote. Not against Hayabusa. Heck those matches you brought up from last year there's only a 3k difference between night and day.

Metroid
ran straight into LoZ, its ranking means nothing (and lol using BL
there). Its slim win over Pokemon was considered pretty embarrassing at
the time, though. In retrospect, that's the most impressive thing
Metroid's ever done in these contests. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Hierarchies
are overrated. Look at Nintendo. Supposing there is some SFF hierarchy
that determines how good you are at SFF apart from strength, how often
has it mattered? Mario/Samus alone, out of all the matches between
Nintendo characters we've seen. --- 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.... |
