how worried should snake be.

first draven ruins his chance to win a contest
now mega man might put him in danger of finishing last

That wasn't even on the radar with Link and Mario!

I might not have anybody to vote for next round if this keeps up. Not that it matters since we know who the champ is anyways, but won't even have a favorite to vote for.

Man these trends make no sense. Make up your mind Samus!

I'm not sure if you'd call me a casual, but I too had Cloud winning, because simply, I thought Cloud will still have the strength to beat Snake, though after seeing Snake's 1-2-3 matches I was really no one except for Link would like to take on him, and Cloud would probably get 46-54'ed.

Snake would beat Cloud but I don't think it would be 54-46...it would be closer than that.

The thing with FF7 is, if their base strength isn't at least like 53% over an opponent - they will lose. Especially if it's against a rallyable opponent. Pokemon is basically FF7 kryptonite.

But if they are losing, their opponent has no need to rally. Snake wouldn't need rallies to beat Cloud. So it should be a closer match, like 52-48 I think. Maybe 53%...I have a hard time seeing 54% there.

I don't think enough people played Other M to really affect her strength enough to flip this result. I'd sooner blame the bad Pokemon option.

Red's looking crazy good, yeah. but he should: this is Pokemon's last gasp. they got murdered by a bigger rally in mewtwo, they were divided and let snake crush them, now Red is all their hopes.

and Pokemon can get really scary with Europe. >_>;

"The Baby" is a sort-of-meme that sprung up from Metroid Other M's horrendous writing. THE BABY is hammered into you.

But who's the baby...?

Samus flashback is the baby? Or that baby Metroid from Super Metroid? Or something else?

I think that was more Samus stabilizing after a huge lull and Mega Man stabilizing after a huge spike. This seems normal in its weirdness.

THE BABY is the baby Metroid that Samus apparently cared for and developed maternal instincts with despite being shown to willingly give it to scientists to be experimented on outside of Other M.

I don't give a s*** if Samus wins this (well clearly I do but that's not the point) the point is she single-handedly set back the cause of Women's Rights worldwide by over a century and she deserves every ounce of scorn I heap on her

also she beat Snake once not that I would ever hold a grudge

She behaved entirely differently from every other game. Samus was not raised in the US, this isn't one of those things!

Samus is supposed to be a tough, stoic female that doesn't fear anything and is able to act reasonably, without emotional influence.

From what I've read they completely murdered her character into the total opposite of that. Which isn't where her appeal lies.

Other M is the first time it looked like something I wanted to try and by then it was kind of impossible to find any of the Prime games. Doesn't help the trilogy had a terribly low shipment either and people want a lot of money for it.
