Mewtwo's match against Ganon suggests he might be around Pikachu's level, and I'd easily take Charizard over Mewtwo. I dunno about that. Pikachu was able to get 44.13% against Luigi (who is Ganon's equal for all intents and purposes, I reckon) in 2007. He got 42.25%+ on Vincent and Crono in 2008, and I'd take both of those guys over Ganondorf still. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness!

From: ExThaNemesis | Posted: 1/28/2010 12:31:34 AM | #401 Pikachu is apparently far in front of Kratos, but that could be due to wagoning against the block. Tack in GoW3 HAEP and Kratos could take it. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Yes
this has been a great contest so far. 12-hour matches are a definite
hit. The pace of the contest is great. Jenova division is by far the
biggest problem - the bracket could've been a lot better. The 12-hour
matches make up for the bracket shortcomings though. The Oracle predictions for Laharl/Neku are startlingly even. Looks like that match is actually considered almost a toss-up right now. I doubt the match is close, either guy could win 60/40. But I don't have any faith in either one. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I
can see Missingno being the strongest Pokemon character. He did crush
several other Pokies, including Mudkip who holds his own in the joke
votes, and Jigglypuff who's one of the classic RBYers and a three-time
Smasher. Missingno has that right combination of Pokemon nostalgia and
joke appeal that could make him a serious threat to most characters.
It's basically Pikachu + L-Block, and probably stronger than both to
boot. Too bad it's against Crono. What a waste. Should've given it a midcarder instead. I'm surprised how weak half of the 4-seeds are, actually, yet Missingno gets stuck with the strongest one. Lame. --- Not Wylvane |

Laharl/Neku
is one of those matches where Laharl could win simply because he's the
higher seed. It's that weird. I figured the pic would help in deciding
who had the advantage but...both of them have pretty great pics. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/27/2010 9:36:49 PM | message detail |
Pikachu
did about equally well on Samus as Ganondorf did against her in round 2
last year, and much better than Ganon's round 3 performance. He's
probably a good deal stronger than Mewtwo, closer to Ganon than Mewtwo.
Actually, Pikachu > Ganon would be a nice upset pick I think. --- 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.... |

42.25%+ on Vincent and Crono in 2008, and I'd take both of those guys
over Ganondorf still. Wouldn't that imply Mewtwo is around Pikachu's level though? That would seem to fit "around his level" to me, they don't seem that far apart. And I'd guess Charizard>Mewtwo, although I'm not 100% on that. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: creativename | #419 It puts Pikachu enough ahead of Mewtwo that a match probably wouldn't be in doubt. But Pikachu/Weegi is LFF and Ganon/Mewtwo is SFF, so you have to take those results with a grain of salt. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness!

From: LeonhartFour | Posted: 1/28/2010 12:37:09 AM | #422 I think Charizard will be the Number 2 of Pokémon by a pretty clear margin. Not as good as Pika, but clearly stronger than Mewtwo. So stick Mewtwo's 22.54%, add a couple points to it...and you get Charizard being RIGHT at Kratos' level. Only question is who can own the day vote better. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Kratos
vs Pikachu... Hmmm... I'd probably go Kratos there, personally, though
it'd be tough, and I probably wouldn't pick it if my bracket didn't
have Kratos > Sora! Otherwise, I'd go with Pikachu for pure fanboyism. Still would be a match I'd like to see, though. --- Not Wylvane |

probably looked a little stronger in 2008 than 2007, and there's also
the possibility of SFF or LPF in the match with Luigi. --- 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.... |
RPGuy96 | Posted 1/27/2010 9:41:09 PM | message detail |
Neku
got 22% on Ganondorf with Frog and KOS-MOS in the poll, Laharl got
24.66% on Dante with Ramza and Hogger. Laharl's probably inflated a bit
because it was a close three way match and there was obviously some
rallying bringing down Dante's percentage. Neku was also apparently
hurt pretty bad by the lack of a picture - look at his graph. Weird.
The whole thing seems like a wash to me. It's probably not going to be an especially close match despite that, because who really cares about these guys, but I doubt it'll be Vyse/Laharl-esque. And if Neku wins I'll get to enjoy a few hours on the leaderboard before Kefka/Arthas! --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/27/2010 9:41:55 PM | message detail |
It's
much easier for me to picture a big Charizard win than a big win for
Kratos. It's a Pokemon that's every bit as recognizable as Pikachu (at
least on any gaming site) and rivals Kratos in terms of badassery. I
mean, a college guy can rally his college friends for Charizard and not
look like a total pansy. Because it's freakin' Charizard. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From: red sox 777 | #438 Pikachu did too well for me to consider that Last Place Factor. I think of good characters getting less than 15% and getting blown out of the water.

I
don't think Laharl's % is inflated at all. None of that rallying seemed

against Dante shouldn't have been affected. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
