If the 'Zard finishes at 62-63% on the Duke, he's probably not beating Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3757

I'm not convinced Frog would have beaten Duke in 2008 or now.


Why not? Duke's not strong.

I'll take Charizard over Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi. Might have done it before the contest (I did take him over Kratos and Kratos is probably right around their level). After this, I think I'll take Charizard over Kirby, Zelda, and Ganon too assuming he ends at 62-63%. For non-elite Nintendo characters, that leaves Pikachu and 62-63% here would be stronger than anything Pikachu has ever done, and as long as Charizard is of comparable strength Pikachu shouldn't be able to win get any weird SFF on him.

So yeah, everyone but Link, Mario, and Samus then. (And Sheik!)

I just checked, and it looks like Sora gets Charizard in the day.

Sora gets Charizard in the day on the day of HeartGold/SoulSilver's release in the US. Add to that whatever 5th gen hype that pops up from here until their match.


****ING AWESOME

In fact my LOL 4-WAY XSTATS have Frog a decent bit ahead of Duke, and they predicted Bowser/Frog almost perfectly (I was .02% away from a perfect Oracle).

Kratos's value comes from being in an unwinnable match, in a poll with Auron and Sephiroth of all people. He's probably 1 or 2% higher, not to mention God of War 3 advertising starting to heat up and getting Charizard in a day match.

For reference, here is Kratos's ASV while sharing a poll with Kirby:

...Well then, no upset for us (thankfully). I don't care if 'Zard is stronger at night, with the hype and the ASV, Kratos is taking this. Thanks for the info, Ulti!

Although for the record, 65% on last year's Duke puts Charizard in the Sonic/Dante range (but still below Luigi because LOL Sonic).

Being in between Marth and Kefka isn't strong though.

But the main thing is let's just wait to see where Charizard ends up at the end. Kefka did this exact same thing a few days ago and ended up below 61%.

Fact is, both Frog and Duke are fodder line/low mid card. So if Zard outdoes what Bowser did on Frog, thats damn impressive.

Not to mention the fact that he barely best Gordon Freeman and pre-Brawl Ike before inexplicably collapsing the round after. I have no idea why people think Duke's strong, but the fact of the matter is he just isn't.

But he actually beat Gordon. As for Marth, I'm willing to chalk up the margin of his loss to DK in 2007 to SFF. DK would beat Frog pretty easily, sadly.

Do you want to believe that Arthas is weak in a 1v1 setting, or do you want to believe that Kefka is much stronger this year than last year, or some combination of the two? Gotta pick one -- and in any case, it's not cough worthy!

Technically, he's doesn't have to pick "one", since you gave him an "all of the above" option >_>

Last Place Factored. It doesn't change the fact that he beat Gordon the previous round, and Gordon was already no joke in 2006.

The real reason I'd rank Charizard so high after this match is Zack. If he beats Zack's mark, with a night match and against a good picture for Duke no less, then I'll take Charizard over any character I'd take Zack over- which these days is all the Nintendo characters but the top 3.

Duke might have dropped this year, but he was definitely decent in 2008, and if you think otherwise you have to assume that Altair either boosted a ton this year, or Liquid dropped a lot in order to make him not look good, since he did beat Altair twice.
