I'm not feeling this Pikachu > Snake hype. I see no reason it won't play out the same way that Snake > Yoshi did back in 2006.

I wouldn't expect much crazier than a doubling from Snake from a perfectly candid standpoint. Fox did great on Sora, looks great, and I can't imagine Protoman getting THAT close to him.

So what I'll predict is Snake gets 70%+, of course. But y'know.

I think it's mostly a joke. Said because the fallout here from such a thing happening would be like nothing we've ever seen.

Preemptive - Dante's down by 400 votes with an hour to go, that cut was an aberration, the SNV favors Ryu and he's not Frog.

Conscience clear, time to watch the panic attacks.

At least one upset I picked actually panned out for me! Too bad I had Zidane and Kratos winning, which eliminated me, not to mention my bracket getting pulverized by Ryu H and Falcon!

Hmmm... I see that most of everyone else still has faith in Dante somewhat. I like the guy, but being 0 for 4 in debated matches is pretty damn bad. I mean, you go from doing as well as MEGA MAN did on Axel to... this??

You people are just under-rating Ryu of this year. I knew going into this year that Ryu was going to be a powerhouse. SFIV has done him wonders, and the mainstream appeal from that game and other titles in the near future are going to boost him back up to probably one of the top 15.

Match LXXXIX: (1) Solid Snake vs. (9) Fox McCloud

Last Round

Solid Snake – 72.35%
Proto Man – 27.65%

Lloyd Irving – 32.75%
Fox McCloud – 67.25%

Analysis

Not much to talk about this match. Solid Snake is an established powerhouse while Fox has only had one match that is telling about his strength. This match is more about where Fox stands rather than where Solid Snake stands and whether or not he has a chance of repeating his impressive performance of last contest.

Fox’s only fair match was last contest where he put decent numbers on Sora, but with how Sora has been performing lately maybe those numbers aren’t as impressive as once thought. Fox was also able to hold well against Yoshi which suggests that Fox is at least a decent mid-card. His performance against Lloyd was impressive, but I would blame that on Nintendo/Symphonia overlap than Fox looking stronger.

The main question is if Fox can compete with the likes of Vivi and Zero and personally I think he is slightly weaker than those two which means Solid Snake should be able to push for a doubling when looking at last contest’s numbers. However it seems that Metal Gear characters have calm down after their crazy performance in the last contest which suggests that the Metal Gear Solid 4 boost has probably fallen off. Maybe Fox has a good chance at avoiding the doubling.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Solid Snake > Fox McCloud

charmander6000’s Prediction: Solid Snake wins, 66.07% - 33.93%

Fox can go pretty low and still have more than enough room for Proto Man > Lloyd. Lloyd performed like total ass (I think he got doubled?).

But as it is, the only choking here is coming from the DK of debatable matches.

Crono/Ryu 1/Vincent weren't debated matches. They were 'maybe Dante has a chance to win this, but probably not.'

Preeeeety sure Dante was the favorite on the board over Ryu in 2003. Someone would have to confirm that one for me.
