Hey, look, Ulti brought out a different account to make that post. Anyway, since Mario/Samus was brought up, I'll ask a borderline-irrelevant question: how would that match go today one-on-one? 2005 was arguably Mario's most impressive year, but we've seen since then that GameFAQs doesn't want to care for new Mario very much despite the two Galaxy-games arguably being the two best Mario-games, period. We've seen Samus improve on Mario in gauntlets and four-ways since their 2005-match, though those are multi-option polls where they were in last place. We've also mentioned the theory that Mario goes up and down with how Nintendo is doing here...and judging from yesterday's poll, Nintendo isn't in great shape here. One-on-one, would Mario still push for 60% on Samus? If not, what do you give it? --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

I
like FF8 and MGS quite a lot, and there are definitely similarities
between Disc 1-2 Squall and MGS1 Snake. Go to youtube and look at how
Snake acts after the Psycho Mantis fight. --- "Environmentalists: Lowering everyone's quality of life since the 1960s." -SmartMuffin |

I'd
take Samus to get around 45%, just because I think with all the
anti-votes being thrown around she almost *has* to do better. I think
the board vote would be really ugly for her though. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

LeonhartFour | Posted 9/23/2010 2:30:14 PM | message detail I mean, seriously, show me where Samus SFFs anything before I believe she SFFs Solid friggin' Snake. Well... she went from 55% on Zelda to hanging 64% on her earlier this year. And she's done 62% on Ganondorf and 60% on Mega Man in "fairly fair" 4way situations (the first with Vincent/Gordon involved and Cloud/Ryu for the second). I mean granted she's no Mario, but it still seems like she doesn't have much of a problem blowing out others with Nintendo connections. --- You should search B8 for Dr Football, cool dude and 2010 Guru champion! thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

No, I only put down the people acting stupid. No, you only put people down who disagree with you in an argument. You're pretty much the one who thinks you're smarter then everyone else so therefore everyone else is wrong. Or in contest terms, accusing Ratchet of having no reason to boost after his PS3 game was a big hit or calling Jecht a weak joke without having ever played FFX. I called you out on contest predictions before and you're too much of a coward to do anything about it so really, pointing out instances where I argued for the wrong cause on contest matches are pretty stupid on your behalf. Guess what, a lot of things I argue for are wrong because I like arguing for upsets. Alyx/Lara was one gigantic upset from the get-go and I knew it, but I argued like crazy just because I wanted to see it happen. The Jecht thing, I called him weak and he is. The only strong character from FFX is Auron, the rest fall in the midcard range or lower. I asked if Jecht was a main character or if he was as weak as Sin because I never cared enough to beat the game and had no idea who he was. When people told me he was Sin, what else am I supposed to believe? That he was as strong as Tidus because his alter-ego was weaker then ****? And the Ratchet thing, how many games does this character have per year? He receives a new release just about every contest, and he still falls in the same range every single time. I'm sorry if you're a big fan of his and can't see this, but that's the truth. He is weak, and he always will be weak unless this site shifts to platformers. As for King Crimson, I couldn't care less. The only reason why it was such a big deal is because you decided to make it a big deal and put it in every topic. Even people in the original topic said that a mistake like that is excusable. But whatever, my bad. Guys like you, who only pretend they have intelligence, are fun to lead on and bait so people with actual intelligence can laugh at them later. It's not like you have anything to do in Ottawa. Go read a book once in awhile. Or hell, go to Wikipedia. You might learn something. So full of yourself. Let me guess, you think I'm not intelligent because I'm arguing with you. Holy crap, what a surprise! Is Leon not intelligent because he thought Samus > Mario was a possibility? Is HM not smart because he thought Ganondorf could have won the Male bracket a few years ago? Seriously, intelligence has nothing to do with contest predictions or not knowing what genre a certain band is. Once you understand that, maybe then I might consider you smart. Until then you're just a vocal, full of crap user trying to be loved by the masses. Also, you're extremely hypocritical because I guarantee you will mark this and it will get deleted in a bit. You've never been in Ottawa so you have absolutely no idea what it's like here. Keep stalking me some more though, I enjoy the attention ;) --- Good Times, Great Memories |

From: XxSoulxX | #311 Been to there and Montreal twice, been to Windsor thrice. Ottawa does not compare to the other two. Nice try. And intelligence very much has to do with knowing what genre a band is, because smart people will look something up before commenting on it. In academia, this is called "research". If you don't do this, any good school will fail you and/or your paper. You're literally arguing one can be intelligent without knowing 1 + 1 = 2 because they were too lazy to look up the answer. Life doesn't work that way, even though people like you pretend it does.

Never been to Windsor but Montreal is pretty awesome so I agree with you there. With that said, why does me being in Ottawa have anything to do with how intelligent I am? GameFAQs considers it trolling when people admit this ;) Is this based on you "researching" more pointless crap, or is it because of how many times you marked people for doing it.

Has nothing to do with ignorance. The fact that you brought up your schooling to prove how intelligent you are is the issue. Congrats, you're going to college/university!

From: XxSoulxX | #323 Well since my program is apparently a joke degree, your girlfriend could probably do the vet tech certification in one day, all the clinical hours in an afternoon and then do the main vet school in a week. If she chooses to get a bachelor's degree in the field, then two weeks. If she chooses to get a masters and ph.D at the same time like what Purdue offers, a month.

From: Ngamer64 | #309 The 2006 match with Zelda is pretty obviously fluky because I don't think any of us are taking her to beat Crono or Mega Man any time soon. Plus, 2006 Zelda is stronger than 2010 Zelda. And Samus/Zelda matches up pretty well with Sonic/Ganon if you assume the two are equal. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3846 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3828 And wait, we're calling Samus/Mega Man LFF now? Either way, LFF is a bit different than SFF anyway. 62% on Ganon isn't much different from their 2005 match anyway, and the general consensus we had was that there was little to no SFF in it. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2115 --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |

From: transients | #341 My theory is HGSS and BW will boost it (we have no precedent for this, I know), but I also think it will be the #1 overall seed in a normally put together bracket and go Mario 2005 on us.
