Raiden
is the most iconic however. Badass thunder god with lighting flowing
through his body and a giant hat. I mean yeah. My reasoning is not only
that poll (don't forget Tifa/Vincent didn't exactly look great after
being SFFed into the ground by Cloud and Sephiroth) but the fact he's
in almost every game. You can't rely on Cage and Goro or even Liu Kang to do that. --- :> |

More
importantly, while Ganondorf will finish higher this doesn't make
GAnondorf look like he can take Sonic. It would be awesome if true, but
nah, he'd need to hit 70 to have a firm shot. Unless Kirby pulls
another miracle, Sonic will make it to Link. Sonic vs. Ganondorf should
be close though, let's hope he gets his Brawl render. But either way this match shuts up either the Squall>Ganondorf crowd or the Wesker is strong now crowd. Or both. If Ganondorf got 70, Vincent better watch out! Ganondorf just needs around a 65% here to take on Sonic. Hell, with a 66% he should be the odds on favorite. And what do you mean Squall > Ganondorf crowd? Do you really think Ganondorf is near Squall or something? --- Good Times, Great Memories |

I'm
all for supporting Goro, Raiden, or especially Reptile. I think it's a
shame there wasn't more of an effort to get Goro into the Villain
Contest, but then again it's kind of a shame we ever had a Villain
Contest. Same goes for Sonya in the Female Bracket. No other
MK-characters other than the first three are ever needed if we're
talking strength though, and these three would probably only pass the
bill if we're talking about upcoming NRT-contenders. Liu Kang's only cool because of the Bicycle Kick though, and I don't think there are enough modern-MK fans (nor enough MK-fans that care he's their lead character) to compete with Goro/Raiden/Reptile. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

And what do you mean Squall > Ganondorf crowd? Do you really think Ganondorf is near Squall or something? Yep. Squall, while very strong, is highly overrated because of how well he did on Vincent. He's not 12th after Vincent or anything. From last year he's probably weaker than Sora. Most likely, Squall simply SFF'd Vincent. Both have the same votebase, but Squall is a main character, Vincent isn't, so he makes Vincent look a bit weaker. He's still a top 20 character quite easily, but no Vincent or Ganondorf. Also, Ken. What are you doing |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/19/2010 9:40:09 AM | message detail |
Yeah,
Liu Kang definitely won't get the "Main character is the strongest"
treatment here. Can't see him even beating Reptile, honestly. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

LeonhartFour | Posted 2/19/2010 9:46:38 AM | message detail |
Well,
Wesker's looking to be at about 35% on Ganondorf as of right now. I
don't know if anyone should have expected more than that since that's
about what he got on Vivi last year. Last year's Ganondorf was expected
to nearly triple Wesker (although that makes me wonder if Snake didn't
pull some weird SFF on him like he seems to do with anyone who shares
his appeal). --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Yeah, it's not like Squall beat Sora 4 out of 4 times or anything. In both of those matches last year, Sora would have beaten Squall if he wasn't mysteriously weak in the UK. More importantly, if you remove Yoshi and Fox or Mewtwo, he probably would have won. One on one, Squall wouldn't break 51% on Sora if he did win. |

It comes through every now and then. The Cube rocked The Boss pretty good with it yesterday, in fact. Another example is Red getting the ASV against MMX.

In both of those matches last year, Sora would have beaten Squall if he wasn't mysteriously weak in the UK. But he is. You can't just take that away from him. It's part of his intrinsic strength. I think as much of Sora's strength as anyone, but he's not beating Squall, at least not before KHIII. More importantly, if you remove Yoshi and Fox or Mewtwo, he probably would have won. What, Sora's a Nintendo character now? And this is probably the "fairest" match Squall and Sora had: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2918 Who's taking away Sora's appeal here?
