I'm not saying that he'll win, but the guy will probably get around the mid-forties on Charizard at least.

From: Not_Wylvane | #049 they deserve it for overrating a character so much who has never even made a contest before i mean seriously, how do you go from not making enough noms to get in, to beating kratos and sora like a lot of people are saying? o.O Boggles the mind how big of pokemon fanboys people are to be blinded that much --- http://i50.tinypic.com/2cmp311.gif Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

What's the point of having a fodder line at a decently strong(albeit choketastic) character? I mean lots of people who would lose to Kefka can beat quite a few regulars. And remember, Arthas got beaten pretty badly yet the weaker Thrall put over 20% on Link-that's pretty respectable. |

Charizard
just might break 60%. Duke lost to Marth, who lost to Donkey Kong
pretty easily. If you think Charizard > Donkey Kong by even a slight
amount and assuming Duke hasn't boosted or anything, it's possible. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

a 128 character bracket, more than half the field are going to be

You mean the guy who couldn't get in due to the FFVII cap? Nothing prevented Charizard from getting in. There was a cap of 10 Nintendo characters, just like there was a cap of 10 Square characters (Cloud, Sephiroth, Auron, Squall, Crono, Frog, Magus, Aeris/Tifa, Tidus, Kefka). --- Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |

The other thing the fodder line is associated with is 20% on Link, or perhaps 20% on Base Link. --- 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.... |

Felix's one match was more impressive than anything Isaac ever did until today, and even then, it's Isaac doubling Layton. Felix would be a lot more interesting to see again than most other characters, even if he does pull a Ken. Again, antivote. The fact that Felix's game had JUST come out may have helped, but there is NO reason for Felix to be any stronger than Isaac now. |

As I said, a cap. Nothing ever prevented Charizard. Nomination strength doesn't say much about how strong you really are. Not being able to get in sooner is defintely not a good sign, but it doesn't mean the character can't have a lot of strength. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

From: Lightning Strikes | #069 GS2's the more popular game of the two, and Felix is a lot more notable a character than Isaac, plus he stands out more. The potential for Felix to be stronger than Isaac is there even if you ignore 2003. All Isaac really has on Felix is Brawl, and that didn't do any wonders for Shadow or Little Mac. --- Not Wylvane |

In

fodder. Otherwise in a 64-character bracket, there would be no fodder. Nah The male side of CBV was only 32, cut out some stronger characters, and still had fodder. Fodder can quite easily get lots of nominations, I mean Layton didn't need to get voted in but say, Liquid Snake, did. The other thing the fodder line is associated with is 20% on Link, or perhaps 20% on Base Link. The latter is much better, but around 17-18% on Base Link would be ideal I think. |

Tingle got in the 2006 Male Bracket. Somehow, Tingle was in the Top 32 male nominations. That should end all discussions of fodder making 64-character brackets. --- Not Wylvane |

The potential for Felix to be stronger than Isaac is there even if you
ignore 2003. All Isaac really has on Felix is Brawl, and that didn't do
any wonders for Shadow or Little Mac. Whaaaaaaaaaaat Seriously, Isaac is far more prominent in the games than Felix. The fact that he talks in TLA helps a lot-while Felix spoke in 1 he wasn't really there much. But anyway, as I said Isaac is far more popular among the fandom and is the series main. GS2 is generally regarded by fans as better, but like most first games GS1 sold a bit better and should be stronger. Also, the fact that the lead of GS3 is a carbon copy(assuming it isn't actually him) of Isaac says a lot. Oh yeah, and Isaac's like, the best assist trophy in Brawl. Not that it would be MUCH of boost, but it's more than Felix has. And of course, the fact that Isaac keeps getting in(6th seed no less) and Felix doesn't says quite a lot. |

Also, screw Felix, next year let's go for the GS3 guy assuming he isn't actually Isaac. On an unrelated note, Charizard was never really rallied and until 2006 Pokémon flat out could not get in except for Pikachu because Ceej was being silly. |

Sure, but there's going to be a lot more fodder in a 128 character bracket- way more than twice as many. --- 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.... |

I'd
pick Layton too. He's a lot more recognizable to those who haven't
played either series, even if M&L is the bigger series here. --- Not Wylvane |

Layton. Oh, and as expected, Layton's keeping it close in the UK. He's even winning in Scotland and Northern Ireland. |

I'd
probably take GlaDOS as well, but that's a tough choice. As such, I'd
probably choose Fawful over Layton... but of course, I've put too much
confidence in Fawful in the past! --- Where's lettuce when you need it? Wrong choices: Shadow, Drake, Fawful, Liquid, Arthas |

I'm happy that Isaac is as popular as I thought he could be! I knew he'd been getting SFFd all these years. I do have to say that Isaac > Felix popularity wise. Looking at 2003, adjusting for Chief anti-votes and possible SFF with Samus the two seem about equal anyway, and that was when Golden Sun 2 was new and recent. It is the better game, but the original sold better and probably is more popular overall. Felix has better character development, but that's all he really has going for him. Isaac is a *SPOILERS*playable character*END SPOILERS* in the second game, while in the first game Felix only shows up now and then. I would definitely take Isaac both 1v1 and indirectly. --- "Hey, genius, I'm on your side!"--Falco Lombardi Yesmar |
