Mega Man can get bandwagoned over Snake in the Finals and I'll be (relatively) fine with it! It's Mega Man, after all.

But this (http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Thumbs-Down.png) has to be stopped.

Watch UK cost Mega Man the match



Yeah, the UK with their anti-Mega Man bigotry is starting to piss me the f*** off. I would seriously rather live in Syria than the UK at this point

UK is biased against Mega Man the same way the world is biased against Chester.

That is, not at all. They just don't care >_>


That's fine. The rest of the world just doesn't care about the UK. Seriously, when was the last time the UK was actually relevant? 1750? If the UK doesn't want to be an irrelevant island anymore that everyone laughs at, they need to get their s*** together. Voting Mega Man over Samus would be a start.

From: KamikazePotato | #088
Fusion, while not bad, is tied to Other M in a way that makes me want to forget it.


I'm sorry you feel that way. Whatever Other M did doesn't affect Fusion for me.

And yes, I like Samus because of her personality and her plot in Fusion. And because she's cool.

Like I said, we actually have taste. Samus Aran is the connoisseur's choice.

It doesn't necessarily make Fusion make no sense. It just makes it terrible, because Samus being all happy to see Adam again after apparently growing a spine over the years is not a good thing.

Basically Other M is just a terrible mess. To vote for Samus here, you basically have to completely excise it from your personal reality, and I can't quite do that.

but yeah I'm not one of those people who holds any ill will towards Samus for Other M. I quite enjoyed Other M for what Team Ninja attempted with it.

However Mega Man is the best video game character of all time so there's no way I'll back off from my support of him.

I've never actually played Other M, other than for about an hour. I just saw that Ridley cutscene tonight for the first time. And yes, its super super offensive to anyone who likes Samus. Not to mention the dialogue is laughably bad. Oh well.

It still doesn't cancel out Fusion for me. I <3 Fusion.
#121 | Wanglicious | Posted 9/12/2013 10:15:51 PM | message detail
but i'd rather see Mario/Mega Man than Mario/Samus.
and Snake/Samus doesn't need to happen either. Mega Man on top does. the biggest picture is Mega Man winning it all! you understood this in the past.

you're so stuck in your flipflopping ways that you've even turned your back on Mega Man in favor of Samus.

Fusion she has no idea till she finds the metroids.

Well, if Sakamoto pretends that the Prime Trilogy never happened I can gladly pretends Other M was an illusion.

I dunno, there's no real controversy there. If MM beats Snake, it's kind of whatever, I think. You can explain for this particular contest in a number of ways - bandwagons, of which is everywhere on board 8 right now, rallies, Draven. He beat Snake soundly in the past, too. Snake/Samus still gets some talk going when people discuss it, if only for the Brawl connection and what happened last time. That's more interesting to me, same with Mario/Samus after what happened this year.

I don't think any result we get of Samus vs. Snake with Draven in the poll will mean anything. GameFAQs will surely side with one of the two in an attempt to defeat Draven. Who they side with could go either way, but whether it's Snake or Samus doesn't really mean anything on who would win in a 1v1 setting.

Well, even if we had an ideal situation of Snake tearing Samus apart in the Finals, I don't think we can take it seriously. It's highly likely that someone is going to get abandoned for the false hope of the other taking on Draven.

Oh, yeah, for sure. It's hardly a definitive match, because Draven, but I'd be more into it as the 'real' final than MM/Snake. I mean, it's not even that good of a match probably, because like you said someone will get abandoned and it'll probably be Samus.

I just want an outcome where Snake wins at this point. His actual margin of victory won't mean anything to me. I'm not even sure I'd necessarily to take it to mean he wins 1v1! Though I'd obviously take him there.

...HM, this is not the contest you want to draw conclusions of for anything in terms of specific matchups. would Mewtwo beat Sephiroth 1 on 1, probably not. but he sure as hell put one monster of a show to suggest otherwise. Snake or Samus, it's in a poll that will have a good 50,000 votes come in from reddit with splits that screw it all up.

there is zero conclusive evidence that you're going to get on who would win that matchup prior to this contest and any win here by either one is completely hollow. sorry, there's just no value to what you want there.


but there IS value in sticking to your once chosen hero and believing.
