So does anyone else think that Mega Man won't see the lead from this point on?


Hopefully. My fellow country people will start waking up and voting soon. MM will probably rally towards the end of the match though, so Samus need to build up a good lead.


I've a feeling that Red is going to cut into MM's lead overnight. Hopefully since he's up over 1,000 votes, he won't have any problem holding onto second place.

I think it's just that MM night vote is terrible


It is. Notably, though, Megaman is doing better than he did against Charizard. If he keeps it up, he has a very real shot at the comeback, since Charizard was ralied.

Fusion, while not bad, is tied to Other M in a way that makes me want to forget it.


Fusion's Samus is ready to defy orders if they seem to go against her judgement.

Other M Samus would gladly burn to death while waiting for orders.


I don't know, seems like 2 different people to me.


People seriously count the hell run as part of Other M's plot? There is literally no reason to do it. Though maybe I just liked it so much from a gameplay perspective that I was willing to excuse the minor goof.

Did I play the same Other M as everyone else? I played through the whole game recently and it sure as heck did not feel like the same game everyone discusses in a bad light.

It's fine. If so many of you can say that Shadow of the Colossus is a bad game, I can say that Other M is amazing right? It's pretty much the same thing.

Is Mega Man's day vote that much better than Samus's?

EDIT: Also, ~50K votes for the Snake match... dunno how much that top bar is doing!


Doesn't look like it's that much, but keep in mind it was an SFF match. Those tend to have depressed votals.

MM has very well rounded trends, as does Samus. But MM will have 4 hours of terrible pain from 4am to 8 am. Samus should be a little better at the morning too. Past 1 pm, MM will do progressively better until the end of the poll.

IT BEGINS

(But seriously, it's cool, let LMS talk about it. If he can make an articulate argument for why Samus didn't get assasinated as a character, he may as well go ahead and post it.)

Doesn't Megaman have a very good morning vote to compensate for his crappy night vote? Or am I confusing him with purestrain Nintendo?

You can't force it, man, just let it come naturally

did you guys notice how Metroid: Other M's acronym is MOM

did you guys notice how Other M is an anagram of Mother

did you guys notice how the setting of Other M is called the BOTTLE SHIP

did you guys notice that she is called to the Bottle Ship by 'Baby's Cry'

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.


...I didn't think Other M's writing was offensively bad, though that being said it has a worse script than any MGS game and that's pretty darn bad (as great as those games' storylines are, I'll be the first to admit that their scripts goof off rather often). Not worth defending.

The Ridley cutscene...I had no problem with it whatsoever. I guess I too was shocked at the thought of having to fight a resurrected Ridley (WHY WON'T YOU FREAKING DIE???) who was more ferocious and aggressive than ever. Probably helped that the subsequent boss battle was my favorite in the series and quite possibly in all of gaming. Or perhaps Ridley getting resurrected again made me think of Liquid Snake (WHY WON'T YOU FREAKING DIE???) and I remembered that Snake had a PTSD over Liquid in Metal Gear Solid 2. Heck, I heard that Chris Redfield has a PTSD over Wesker in Resident Evil 6. I don't see why it's inexcusable for Samus. Don't accuse Other M of being sexist when you guys are clearly being sexist towards Samus, for saying she's not allowed to exhibit a personality facet that male video game characters are clearly allowed to exhibit.

Maybe I'm just good at liking "hated" sequels. Metal Gear Solid 4, Wind Waker, and Brawl are my favorite games in their respective series. I like Super Mario Sunshine every bit as much as other Mario games. I tried to hate Twilight Princess and failed miserably.

Well I don't care. If you guys say that Shadow of the Colossus sucks, I have every right to like Other M so much. It's basically the same thing.

And I'm not alone. I see the game pop up with alarming frequency when people discuss "games I like that everyone hates" and "underrated games".

It might be deleted because it hurts the feeling of the "artists" but im sorry they really didn't put their effort into it
Only FAHtastic,kaonashi1 and UltimaterializerX pictures are worth something
And it's obvious that Zen and Video submitted bad pictures on puropose...they are the best artists in this contest so far

Oh this? I didn't think that Samus following orders was supposed to reflect on her personality.

Then again I found most of Samus's personal stuff to be kinda out of place and tried to block it out.

Why the heck do people discuss this game's plot anyways? I found it to be forgettable and meaningless.

well, any female over the age of 16 has to involve sex with Shirou at some point, that's just a given. i mean he's already proven he has a thing for blonds in blue clothing and metal armor, this ain't a giant leap.

however maybe she'll listen more than Saber.

Obsessive? If you guys are all saying that a game I beat recently and thought was amazing sucks, I should be able to voice my opinion.

I'll concede one thing: if you don't care for state-of-the-art graphics or innovative gameplay, don't play Other M.

You are now imagining Iris and Samus working together. That'll do, that'll do. Also, Adam is basically Kiritsugu, too - both are worthless overhyped scumbags, so it fits perfectly!

due to her ability to listen, there actually may not be any sex or dragons in this situation. when he tells her to go home, she'll listen. >__>;

Before the contest started, we were expecting Sephiroth/Cloud/Samus or Sephiroth/Snake/Samus in the bonus match. But when Draven happened and Vivi killed Mario, it had a huge effect on this bonus match. Samus could still end up in this bonus match if she loses to Mega Man.

Even that seems like kind of a stretch. I'd take Squirtle over Mewtwo pretty easy (though I guess we'll see) and Mega Man may be able to leverage some kind of a Nintendo hierarchy there.

Then again Pokemon getting the wrong end of Nintendo, what am I saying

We can try
I think most of this board can side with Snake (as opposed to Link and Mewtwo...)
But still,Samus will be too much..she will drag down Snake worse than Sephiroth dragged down Mewtow
