Brutal Legend? WTF is that? Am I not hip with the times anymore or something

Tim Schafer game... it's a heavy metal-themed uh... open world action / RTS ? I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's pretty cool, though.

It's a Tim Schafer game, so it must be good on some level.

Good lord, Heavy looks like the freakin' definition of "real man."

Subz didn't get a fantastic pic, but he's still got a nice pic advantage going in.

Zelda is not impressed with whatever Travis is offering.

Everything else looks pretty fair, but check out that Ezio/Simon pic. They look like the same guy in different outfits (pose and all!).

I was judging Ryu and Leon by their matches against Mega Man. Leon got 35% on MM in '05, with Ryu got almost 42% on the Blue Bomber in '06.

Leon in 2K7 and on > Leon in 2K5. Porting RE4 to the Wii helped him out.

So, probably one more boring match, and then Tidus/Sub-Zero and Jecht/Phoenix back to back. Sounds good!

After what Spy did, I'm actually kind of excited for Roxas/Heavy. Roxas won't get the KH ASV, and it's not like Kingdom Hearts is universally loved and impossible to rally against. I guess Heavy's chances depend on whether the fanbase is willing to rally behind him like Spy.

I'd be surprised if Tidus lost against Sub-Zero at this point. Tidus will have boosted along with the rest of the FF crew, and I think in the X-Stats Tidus and Sub-Zero are suppose to be relatively similar in strength (from what I can see one has Tidus higher, one has Tidus slightly lower, and the raw has Tidus much higher.) With Tidus getting recent exposure, and the FF boost (I'm now thinking that FF has had a boost all on its own, as it can't just be Dissidia) he should beat Sub-Zero about 55 - 45 if I'm right.

Ezio is going to catastrophe Simon. That's right. I just used that as a verb. I'm expecting 70%+, but wouldn't be surprised if it was higher or lower. That pic in and of itself isn't great for Ezio, but it gets the job done. They definitely could have found a better one (Altair's pic was way better.)

Can someone use this for Ezio's face pic? I don't have photoshop or anything. But with that he should catastrophe Zelda.

If he makes it past Zelda, and the sprite round, this can be used as one of his battle pics.

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/screenshots/medium/2009/04/7720620090413_004306_0_big.jpg

This is a good in game-screen. Although I wouldn't use it for his sprite round, it would have been better served in this round.

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/pics/3421334aaa.jpg

Another one that could have done better here with some editing, but can probably be used in the future.

Zen that is a really well done pic -- I hope it gets picked for you. But don't feel bad when Ezio wins. That face pic of Ezio's is probably the best possible face pic any character can get.

That picture looks great up close, but as a match pic it doesn't work too well. Looks like he's about to gouge out his own eyes.

It's called body by fish, but the website is www.trainforstrength.com.

It's a very good routine from home, but if you have access to a gym I suggest incorporating SS (Starting Strength) into your routine. Right now I'm doing a mix of both with Starting Strength on Mondays and Fridays and TFS on Wednesdays. It's working well for me. AIM me if you have any questions: xCPhoenixMx

Ulti I think it's a great match pic -- although I still think if it was scaled down a bit further to incorporate more of the picture it would look less like he was trying to gouge his own eyes out.

Also, I'd be surprised if Heavy ended up being stronger than Spy, so I don't think Roxas is going to have too much trouble winning. Maybe 55/45 or so, but Roxas wins fairly easily.

Of course, I have Sub-Zero winning, so I'll take any advantage I can get.

Something I never really though too much of -- but in retrospect should have -- Altair > Kirby and Altair vs. Sonic.

Assuming Liquid is constant, that puts Altair at near 60 - 40 on Zelda. Sonic would be projected to get about 57% on Zelda. I don't think that Liquid is constant, but I don't think that he's dropped much either. So I'm thinking Altair disposing of Vivi handily would have big implications on his match against Kirby. If he does manage to thrash Kirby -- could he beat Sonic? My heart says no, but my better judgement says that he has a shot.
