Somewhere between 32-35%, unless Samus did boost out of nowhere.

Remember that Riku got Ramza in a night match. He won't have an ASV against Falcon, but going from night to day probably helps Kingdom Hearts more than any other entity.


Yeah, but Riku absolutely tore Ramza apart with the morning vote in that match. It was truly impressive.

This Roxas ASV really is something. I have a sinking feeling about Falcon > Riku...

42% hour for Roxas there.

Sub should easily avoid the doubling. Jill is nowhere near him. I don't expect him to get any worse than say, 35%.

Sora now > Sora then. Subby probably get 34, maybe 35%.

LeonhartFour | Posted 2/25/2010 2:25:25 PM | message detail
Yeah, that was the point. 2004 Sora isn't as strong as he is now since it was pre-KHII.

He also got 60% on Hayabusa, who beat Jill by...27 VOTES that year.

Time for another Buy/Sell: Does Roxas get and hold onto 41% when all is said and done?

Poor Strider. Banned because a manga that was essentially a commercial for his game banned him from entering.

So, wait, when did this become official that Strider can't make it in again? He made the very first contest and GameSpot considered him a character enough for their contest (though they also allowed BO KNOWS JACKSON). Did I miss something?

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember someone saying CjayC answered some ticket about STrider saying he was ineligible cuz of the manga. Dunno about Bacon.

Well, CJay let him in 2002's contest despite that, so it's at least worth asking SB for confirmation if people are interested in seeing him nine years later.

Oh and re: Samus vs. Subby - I think people are overestimating Subby a pic. He's gonna be right around the doubling. I'd be very, very surprised if he broke 35%.

Copy and pasted from other topic, I did:

Zelda (TP concept art)
Ezio (official art that's everywhere)
Captain Falcon (from the famous leaked SSE cutscene pre-brawl)
Fox (Bang! Star Fox Assault cover)
Zero (Tatsunoko vs Capcom official art, I did this literally like an hour after it was publicly released)
Sephiroth (Advent Children with some flames and a gray gradient)
Yoshi (no idea... mario party?)

That's DMC2 Dante. Y'know, from the match where he dropped the ball against Yoshi...

I was superbly confident in Dante here, but forget it. This contest clearly has it out for him =/

Cloud looks like a total dork, Chris overperformance imminent.
Mighty worried about Captain Falcon, but I already was even before the picture.
Fox and Zero should both do well, they stand out like crazy.
Not convinced that's a great picture for Missingno. He just kinda... blends in, while Yoshi is very vibrant.

My gut tells me DMC2 wasn't a factor. It was more Nintendo being beastly that year. People write off Yoshi's performance on Snake because it was the sprite round, but there was a huge, clearly visible picture of him in the background. It's just weird, DMC2 Dante is a recognizable picture of him. Does DoC Vincent hurt Vincent? I wish we can use DMC2 Dante on somebody he should easily beat.

For Christ's sake, if you're going to complain about a character's bad match pic, at least go with someone we know can do better.

Like Vincent, for instance.

I think Sub will avoid doubling for sure.


No idea why people are so confident in Subby. Samus' x is 40%, so Subby needs to be higher than 26.66% to avoid the doubling - and that's right where he probably is. 25%-27%. If he avoids the doubling, it should be barely.

You must be new. Solid **** and ZSS would disagree...strongly.

Lettuce and Angel Kefka might chime in as well.

Pics usually aren't important, but some characters are extremely pic-sensitive.
