It's
too bad Snake/Pikachu is a night match. And Fox/Pikachu was SFF. They
had a common opponent (Cloud) in 2002, and while Fox was stronger, it
wasn't by as much as he beat Pikachu by. --- 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.... |

And it should have been obvious that he wasn't going to get anti-voted just by looking at how pokémon did in BGE2. --- URDUM |

RBY
and Charizard made it clear the pokemon wasn't being anti-voted much
anymore, but I was a little bit concerned for Pikachu. Still took him
to get 75% though. --- 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.... |

Now
THIS is the fodder we need to be cutting from contests - the likes of
Banjo and Guybrush who can only get blown the hell out. heyyy, Banjo's still cool. He's just getting SFFed. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |

From: Lightslayer987 | #454 Except anti voting isn't really evident in 4ways, since the anti votes are harder to distribute among 3 different games/characters. If you aren't willing to compare Pokémon between the series contest and BGE2 and see there's a completely different entity there, I'll chalk this one down to you being Albion again I guess. --- Again, URDUM |

Pikachu's still top dog in the Pokemon food chain, but I think Charizard could be an easy second, with Mewtwo close behind. I think between them and potentially Missingno we've run the well dry for decent characters besides maybe Blastoise. There's still a big chunk that I imagine would be above the fodder line, including some non-RBY starters and some of the legendaries like Mew and Lugia, but then we'll get too weighed down in Pokemon to focus on finding new talent. --- Not Wylvane |

Anyone
have a night match vote total comparison here? I can't seem to find a
match with lower votes, which would definitely imply this being a LFF
match. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |

Banjo
is really weak. He got 20.60% on Megaman in 4-ways, so Pikachu is
currently projected to get 42% on Megaman based on that. That's what he
got on Crono and Vincent in round 4 last year, so it seems about the
same as his 4-way strength. --- 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.... |

Duke
Nukem would beat Banjo easily, for the record. This isn't THAT
impressive, though the important thing is now established: Pikachu can
hold his own in this format. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

It's kinda sad how pathetic the Banjo series is on GameFAQs... I have a lot of fond memories of the N64 games. I bet he'd be pretty strong back in 1999 or something. At least above fodder line. --- And then the car wash cost five dollars. Pokemon Platinum: 1719 9497 5082 |

I'm still not even sure Shepard wins. I have no faith in him after his lackluster performance in 2k8.

Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/9/2010 9:25:12 PM | message detail |
I
have no clue how Shepard's going to do. Ellis is a Valve character, but
L4D2 is no Portal or Half-Life 2 or even Team Fortress 2 here. Shepard
had a weak (but not uber-fodder weak) showing in 2008 and his first
game isn't strong, but his second game has been huge. Of course, no
telling how ME2 has been received by the GameFAQs audience? Still, Shepard has the intangibles going in, but I can see anything from Shepard tripling to getting upset by Ellis by 55% or so. After finishing ME1 for the third time (and getting ready to finally play ME2 tomorrow!), I'm hoping it's the former. Shepard puts Captain Falcon to shame when it comes to punching people. --- Not Wylvane |

wish I could change my favorites bracket to have Shepard in the finals
against Luigi. The guy is completely ****ing awesome, and that's only
based off ME1! --- Not Wylvane |

Cyclo_Reaper | Posted 2/9/2010 9:37:56 PM | message detail |
Europe
and Asia are Pikachus strongest regions, so he should do well
overnight, and then the morning vote should easily favor Pikachu over a
decade old platform character... so yeah, I don't see him falling from
his current percentage very much at all. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2wmghtl.jpg I Am Albion Hero! |

Usually
you'd expect Pokemon to drop from here. On the other hand, his opponent
is also from Nintendo (technically Rare) and Pikachu's doing better in
Europe and Asia than worldwide now. --- 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.... |

You seem to have your arrows reversed there, sir. That's kind of the point... Sure, this is impressive, but does Pikachu really have enough to beat Snake, even with maximum pic advantage? Then again, I'm of the opinion that match pictures don't matter that much, less than 1% for sure. Pikachu will likely show that he has strength against Snake, but the notion that he might pull the upset is kind of ridiculous. --- Guru contest: 45/48 (T3) Misses: Boss, Altair, Kefka.
