I'm so disappointed by GetMeOffTheMoon facebook page
You would think that for a page that wants to show Capcom the fans care about Mega Man they would help with this poll..but no they ignored me
Cool


lol that's me who posted above you

Wait til whoever admins that group sees our posts and posts the poll to the main page.


No I didn't post there
I ****ing sent a message to the admin and I was ignored
It was 3 days ago so it's not like he didn't read it yet!!

Whatever happened in Mario/Megaman, Samus just needs that to happen again. She's not Mario, but if there's any fanbase that does operate as a hivemind based on hierarchies, it's Nintendo. Square fans will argue with each other for decades about which character is better while Nintendo fans are marching through the snow to vote for the straight Nintendo ticket on election day.


What she really can't have is Red getting bandwagoned to first over both in the opening minutes and Mega Man happening to be closer than she is to him in that timeframe.

Then it's abandonment issues all the way for Miss Aran like THE BABY


Which is precisely why Charizard still has a chance in an all-Nintendo match! Everyone knows Pokιmon > Metroid in the Nintendo hierarchy and it's not even close!

I'm still mad about Vivi getting rallied and taking Mario out of the picture, but my logic for taking Charizard to the finals still sort of applies!

Literally wouldn't have taken that upset if I were expecting any other pair of Noble Niners. Well, maybe Mega/Crono/Charizard but that's about it. Mega and Crono wouldn't be able to leech even Samus enough, I don't think...actually yes Mega could.

Damnit Zero fans, WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOOOOR?!?!

Zero's rise to heaven will be what kills Mega Man this match.

And what's this crazy talk of 60/40 overlap with MM/Zero?? The absolute minimum overlap for this type of match will be 70%. MM/Zero overlap is likely at least 80%.

Zard is being exposed - again - yet will still be bailed out by the Pokemanz absurdly lucky bracket rigging. Oh, and their trademarked "plucky underdog" rallies.

Looks like Crono's percentage for the first six hours against Vincent Valentine in Crono/Vincent I. That one made the Sonic collapse look positively balanced by comparison.

So I just woke up.
1)Okay Squirtle beats Cloud (okay with a rally of course) but Charizard struggles with MM with Zero on the poll?
2)I never understood why MM is so popular in USA. Here in my country (I live in Europe) nobody cares for him. Seriously. I guess with Smash Brothers having him though he will gain more fans.
3)At least the 2 most populous states in USA have Charizard ahead.

Snake would win UNLESS the Nintendo fans would think that Snake is Nintendo too because of Smash and split their votes allowing Sephiroth to win! That would be too good though.

The anti Draven sentiment is stronger than the anti Pokemon sentiment, but expect much complaining as Seph desperately tries to avoid looking like Shepard

Sephiroth Support Base? I hope not. If Squirtle beats Cloud. What chance does Seph have against Draven ,M2 and FF anti votes? Anyway. Pokedomination or not. My vote would be for Mewtwo ,regardless.

Where is the Mega Charizard picture? Also Charizard can't pull ahead. That means when USA wakes up MM will win because he has a higher percentage in USA. BUT in Texas and in California who are the most populous states in USA Charizard is ahead. Tough match. Where is 4Chan and Reddit for Charizard when you need it?

Considering the fact this is Europe and "Total Dominated Zone" time for MM, the fact he isn't getting completely buried is a bit of a good sign.

And of course it's much harder to rally against
MM than FF7. That means that a Zard rally should only net some hundreds of votes, whereas against Cloud/Seph Zard could probably rally many thousands.

So there's some hope for MM here. But he's still a significant underdog IMO, mainly because Zero will continue to rise.

It would indeed, but Seph making it would be one of the biggest stunners in a contest full of them.

If 4chan/reddit truly want to troll the site hardcore though, they'd rally for Seph!

It is less hate and more "Who the hell is this blue guy and why does he think he can beat charizard". Well at least in Australia anyway, but I would say the same for europe most likely.

MM just didn't get much exposure here for some reason.

Regarding the LFF here, I love Zero and don't care for Mega Man at all.
Zero got my vote. If I wasn't so sick of Pokemon, I might have voted Charizard, but there's no way MM would have gotten my vote.

Keep in mind Blastoise never had sizable role in the anime like Red, Blue, Pikachu, Squirtle and Charizard.

Yesterday's chart:

Time | Vivi | Squall | Red | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 30.80% | 21.86% | 47.34% | 526 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 34.09% | 22.93% | 42.98% | 6014 | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 33.74% | 27.50% | 38.76% | 10152 | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 35.30% | 27.25% | 37.45% | 6173 | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 35.27% | 26.97% | 37.76% | 11317 | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 32.30% | 27.78% | 39.91% | 12219 | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 31.08% | 31.66% | 37.25% | 2416 | (22:00-24:00)

Red gets off to a great start and has a good ASV as Pokemon is wont to do. FFIX's terrible day vote catches up to Vivi, and Squall actually wins the second night vote outright against him.

X-Stats:

Pokemon Trainer Red – 50.00%
Vivi Ornitier – 46.40%
Mario – 46.30%
Squall Leonhart – 40.90%
Missingno – 38.95%
Tidus – 38.91%
Urdnot Wrex – 34.61%
Cecil Harvey – 32.83%
Amaterasu – 31.62%
Pit – 30.19%
Wario – 29.05%
Ganondorf – 27.78%
Adam Jensen – 25.74%
Banjo – 24.77%
Rayman – 23.29%
Corvo Attano – 21.59%
Creeper – 21.32%
Duke Nukem – 20.79%
The King of All Cosmos – 17.58%
Marisa Kirasame – 17.00%
Vyse – 14.90%
Sissel – 12.10%
Fawful – 12.06%
Guybrush Threepwood – 12.05%
Max Payne – 11.37%
Adol Christin – 10.05%
Commander Video – 8.81%

Red's prediction percentage was 3.95%

If just a couple percent more of the Zero voters would switch it could be a pretty comfortable victory.

I voted Zero, but as soon I saw the % I changed to Megaman.

Okay this will be a close match. Now in all close matches Pokemon has won. Let us hope he does that here too. Also amazing how Charizard was considered the strongest Pokemon here yet he easily loses to Pikachu, Squirtle and Mewtwo 1vs1.

Pikachu, Squirtle and Mewtwo definitely top tier and it's difficult to categorically rank them.

Pikachu >= Squirtle >= Metwo >>>> Charizard >= Red

something like that, seems two tiered at the moment.

It's not Mega Man being hated. It's Mega Man being virtually nonexistent.

And most of Europe doesn't contribute any significant votes. Charizard getting 66% in UK is the most significant thing there.
