are people seriously still holding out hope? Barring a miracle, Zard is done.

We believe that Charizard will create a miracle!

You know, there's part of me that wonders if PW2's bad ending inspired AJ.

Didn't realize that Mario was doing notably better in North/South America. Charizard is 50/50 in Europe and Asia and actually has a nice percentage lead in Oceania.

There were actually rumors before AJ was released that AJ was an alternate timeline that took place after the bad ending of 2-4.

...I'd prefer if that was really the case.

Charizard obviously has some momentum here; he's outperforming Mega Man with ease. Mega Man would have killed him if this were Round 1.

Not to allude that he's a "joke" character or anything, but it'll be interesting to see if Charizard (or Pokemon in general) can maintain this strength or if this was just a passing wind. We know by now that Pikachu is very unreliable year to year, but Charizard probably doesn't have that level of discontentment that goes along with the rat.

KamikazePotato | Posted 3/17/2010 10:48:45 AM | message detail
Mega Man doesn't kill Charizard in any round. He would win, but it wouldn't be by more than 54-55% - and remember that MM got SFFd hard by Mario last round anyway. Charizard outperforming him here just confirms what we've always known - Pokemon doesn't get SFFd.

That is a killing considering that Charizard is easily outperforming him now. This Charizard is significantly stronger than the one who got 64% on Duke.

He's significantly stronger than round 1 Charizard because of HG/SS. I dunno about this bandwagoning theory.....I'm skeptical it's helping him more than SFF is hurting him.

But RBY doesn't get SFF'd. I think FFX may have had more overlap with Melee due to the release date and even more overlap with OoT due to a more similar genre.

RBY didn't get SFFd. It got LFFd, and FFX had a heaping helping of Sore Thumb Factor.

I think FFX may have had more overlap with Melee due to the release date and even more overlap with OoT due to a more similar genre.

Well I think Link/Crono LFF and Samus/Crono LFF is obvious because they're all silent protagonists and good characters. Link and Crono are both time travelers too.

In fact, with 2 other silent protagonists in the same poll as him, it's a miracle Crono even beat Mario, much less with 57%. Clearly he would have doubled him without Link and Samus in the poll.

At least one good thing about the Sonic beatdown is that people will finally stop spouting the absolutely ludicrous "Sonic Team sucks in 4ways" notion. As if somehow 4ways would magically affect that specific set of characters so much worse than everyone else. Nope - Sonic has just fallen pretty far, no need for lame and fantastic 4way excuses. He certainly wouldn't have been SFFed to barely above Alucard levels back in the day. Time has not treated Sonic kindly.

I'm not even sure 55% on Kirby is good for a near-elite. Some of the near elites might beat that.

As for today and this, "Every match must have a bandwagoned result!" trend, I'm not a fan of it. Although I did vote for Zard, because he's a dragon.

And with the bandwagon effects continuing, tomorrow could be Doomsday for Final Fantasy VII. Cloud and Seph might get hit by W. Meteo.

Sonic team made its best showing this year in years. Just because you get blown out by Link doesn't mean you aren't strong. Keep in mind that Cloud doubled Sonic the year Cloud won. How is this a disappointing result for Sonic? It's right up his alley and says nothing of his strength.
