Bacondorf
or no, this is a great performance by Sonic that almost redeems his
pathetic performances in the four-ways. Now he has to beat Kirby
effortlessly to do the same. I wonder if there's a good way to compare Missingno to Sephiroth through Lightning/Sonic. If Sonic is back to his 2006 self and Lightning really is that strong, well, I'd love to see where Missingno falls even before accounting for massive LFF! --- Not Wylvane |

Crono and Squall would lose handily to Sonic. Vincent would have a chance but I'd still take the hedgehog. |

Good
luck to you if you think Squall or Vincent can get 57% on Ganon. If
that were true, I wouldn't be so damn nervous about Sora. Either Sonic
takes all of those challengers easily or there is some SFF/picture
advantage going on here. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

And
here's a nice comparison with 2006 Sonic: Sonic's getting 57% against
Bacondorf in a night match here. If it were a 24-hour match, Ganon
could probably pull that down to 56ish, and since Luigi beat Bacondorf
with 51% in 2007, we could project Sonic to 55% on Luigi assuming
Ganondorf has not fallen further since 2007. Sonic got 60% on Luigi in
2006, so that gives Sonic 45% on 2006 Sonic. A lot better than he
looked against Auron or Kirby last year. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

And
it looks like the Nintendo villains are huge leeches compared to
side-characters like Zelda, Luigi, and Yoshi, thus their getting
crushed by Mario/Link so horribly and how they sucked it up in
four-ways. Casuals may prefer Ganondorf and Bowser, but the hardcore know that Luigi is the superior character! --- Not Wylvane |

Here's
a hilarious, incredibly unlikely thought: If Pikachu and Missingno both
pull off the incredibly unlikely upsets (Snake & Squall/Auron for
Pika, Sephiroth for Missingno) and we get Pikachu/Missingno, who wins? --- Not Wylvane |

Missingno,
easy. But if that match happens, neither one of them is winning the
contest. The site will react against PokeFAQS and vote Link or Cloud
over the winner. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

With how StH4 is shaping up, if it's a success I could see Sonic easily beating vincent/squall/crono. --- hmmmmmmmm |

Idk, I'd probably take Pika > yoshi.. so Pika might actually have won round 2 I think. --- hmmmmmmmm |

Zelda
tripling Metal Gear in the semifinal was an amazing show of power.
After that and FF/SMB, I was kind of relieved FF even got 49% in the
final. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

The

to include Harvest Moon! We really should've gotten HM64 into the Games
Contest. We could always nominate the farmer! He might surprise us and not be complete uber-fodder! --- Not Wylvane |

The
overall prediction percentages for Kirby/Vivi and Megaman/Ryu Hayabusa
are going to be pretty low (haha Master Chief), but the top brackets
will probably do significantly better. Either way, Extha can be
confident he'll make the leaderboard before Sora/Bowser even in the
unlikely event he doesn't make it today. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

ExTha
might be too fiery to realize he'll make it anyway. Even if Sora loses,
his Charizard and Ryu picks should get him up there. It's not like many
of the top guys took Bowser. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If
Sora beats Bowser, I might actually make the leaderboard for a whole
twelve hours before my Kratos pick bites me in the ass, unless L-Block
pulls an upset! --- Not Wylvane |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/6/2010 8:43:36 AM | message detail |
And
Sora still has a good shot. The numbers creative posted last night
showing day Sora gets 56% on night Sora were pretty scary, but it also
means that Sora/Midna and Sora/Laharl become much much more excusable.
Frog and Kefka are classic night characters.....I'm going to do some
similar calculations for them now. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

Not_Wylvane | Posted 3/6/2010 8:48:34 AM | message detail |
From: shadow8021 | #338 Probably better, since I imagine both will probably be SFFed similarly and I think X is nowhere close to Classic, let alone Sonic. --- Not Wylvane |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 3/6/2010 8:48:40 AM | message detail |
Yes, as much as I hate it, the Metroid series would definetely lose to the Pokemon series in a rematch. FACT OR FICTION TIME 1) Master Chief and Halo still benefitted from 4-ways. 2) Gordon Freeman would triple Tina Armstrong in a rematch and would double Sam Fisher all the same. 3) Mario fails to SFF Mega Man in round 4. |

LinkMarioSamus | Posted 3/6/2010 8:52:50 AM | message detail |
On
a side note, I find it kinda ironic that many of the characters whose
appeal comes from being "realistic" (ex. Gordon Freeman, Nathan Drake)
don't do well considering which character was first to really represent
the player in his game series. |
