A new Street Fighter character makes the field and is not Cammy? What is this sorcery!? Geno Summer 2005 Contest Devil Division - 7 Seed Devil Round 1 --- Lost to (2) Squall, 25022 [25.16%] - 74412 [74.84%] Extrapolated Strength --- 55th Place [16.22%] Geno returns to get destroyed by Squall yet again. Poor poor Geno ;-; Squall Summer 2002 Contest East Division - 15 Seed Eastern Round 1 --- Lost to (2) Solid Snake, 24779 [34.57%] - 46897 [65.43%] Extrapolated Strength --- 20th Place [24.36%] Summer 2003 Contest North Division - 6 Seed Northern Round 1 --- Defeated (11) Jill Valentine, 57392 [59.99%] - 38274 [40.01%] Northern Quarterfinal --- Defeated (3) Luigi, 69958 [60.21%] - 46232 [39.79%] Northern Semifinal --- Lost to (2) Samus, 47103 [41.8%] - 65582 [58.2%] Extrapolated Strength --- 16th Place [30.7%] Summer 2004 Contest Midgar Division - 4 Seed Midgar Round 1 --- Defeated (13) Bomberman, 52540 [64.75%] - 28597 [35.25%] Midgar Quarterfinal --- Defeated (5) Kirby, 51462 [55.01%] - 42084 [44.99%] Midgar Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Cloud, 21240 [23.79%] - 68050 [76.21%] Extrapolated Strength --- 17th Place [29.58%] Summer 2005 Contest Devil Division - 2 Seed Devil Round 1 --- Defeated (7) Geno, 74412 [74.84%] - 25022 [25.16%] Devil Semifinal --- Defeated (6) Knuckles, 53310 [53.80%] - 45780 [46.20%] Devil Final --- Lost to (5) Vincent, 48297 [49.41%] - 49446 [50.59%] Extrapolated Strength --- 12th Place [32.22%] Summer 2006 Contest Patriot Division - 4 Seed Patriot Round 1 --- Defeated (5) Tidus, 82091 [72.02%] - 31893 [27.98%] Patriot Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Solid Snake, 57666 [42.41%] - 78314 [57.59%] Extrapolated Strength --- 10th Place [39.77%] Squall is a part of that noteworthy group just under the Noble Nine in strength (alongside Vincent and Ganondorf). He's a lock to get to the divisional finals here. Predictions: There were some rumblings of an Akuma upset due to Squall/Aeris SFF and Aeris turding it up last year, but I can't see it happening. First of all, Akuma wasn't in the only Street Fighter game to get widespread mainstream exposure, Street Fighter 2. Some are expecting him to be around Bison/Chun-Li's level, but I can't see him being anything but a low midcarder or even high fodder. I'd consider Geno/Akuma interesting if Geno wasn't guarenteed to get SFF'd to the ground. TuRtLe's Prediction: Squall 38%, Aeris 25%, Akuma 20%, Geno 17% TuRtLe's Bracket: Squall > Aeris TuRtLe's Vote: Geno |

I don't even want the official guest analysis for this match.... DpOblivion's Shouldn't-Be-Official Quick Analysis: Yeah, okay, so I vastly overestimated Geno. Sure, Squall should hurt Aeris pretty badly with SFF, but the Final Fantasy characters should still get plenty of the vote for both to advance. Hell, I even forgot that Geno is Square as well, not just Nintendo, so he's screwed. Oh well, I'm finally getting on the leaderboard (or at least my alt bracket, with the only difference there so farbeing Phoenix > Crash, and I always figured it would end up being Phoenix > Crash, just couldn't resist putting Crash through in that match on my main bracket, so I kinda see that as my bracket as much as my main, up to this point anyway), so now I can screw up in peace. Hell, Akuma probably has a better chance of making it than Geno. And least Akuma has a pretty different fanbase, and we've seen how good the Street Fighter vote has been with Ryu, though Akuma won't be at Ryu's level. But anyway, Squall should win relatively easy, though not a complete SFF blowout. Aeris has the advantage of being in the most popular game on the site, so that will get her plenty of votes, but Squall is the much more liked lead of the popular next game in the series, and also had a decent role in Kingdom Hearts. Maybe I can still hold out hope that the Nintendo vote will carry Geno. But it doesn't look good. AFAIK, Geno was only in one mid-Nintendo-tier game, and if you didn't play that game, you're not voting for Geno, plain and simple. He has no appeal to those who don't know him. Goodbye, 2 points. DpOblivion's bracket says: Squall > Geno Confidence Rating: 1% DpOblivion's prediction is: Squall > Aeris Confidence Rating: 60% Squall - 41% Geno - 19% Aeris - 23% Akuma - 17% (Fine, I'll take Guest, since I ended up not blindly following my bracket in my prediction after all.) --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard.

Damn it, I hate myself....when I checked the leaderboard yesterday, I
looked at my main bracket's score and added 4 instead of 2, so I
thought my alt bracket was 1 point off the leaderboard, but it was
really 3. So I'm not on the leaderboard yet, and I'm dropping back
again....why must this contest be so cruel to me.... --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko See Quote for Character Battle VI Printable Bracket 84/112 |

Division 8: Round 1 - Match 30 – Albert Wesker vs. Daxter vs. Lara vs. Sora Moltar’s Analysis Wesker Game/Series Known From: Resident Evil Seed in 2005: 7 Lost in 2005 to Lloyd in Round 1 Gotta love the shades Daxter Game/Series Known From: Jak and Daxter Hopes he does better than his partner. Lara Game/Series Known From: Tomb Raider Seed in 2002: 1 Seed in 2003: 7 Seed in 2004: 15 Seed in 2006: 2 Lost in 2002 to Crono in Round 3 Lost in 2003 to Max in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Samus in Round 1 Lost in 2006 to Chun-Li in Round 2 Aww yeah Sora Game/Series Known From: Kingdom Hearts Seed in 2003: 6 Seed in 2004: 6 Seed in 2005: 2 Seed in 2006: 1 Lost in 2003 to Aeris in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Samus in Round 3 Lost in 2005 to Solid Snake in Round 3 Lost in 2006 to Mega Man in Round 3 Didn’t you just have a match? A rare easy Round 1 match. I mean, you should be able to nab four points just thinking 2 seconds about the match. First, a couple words about the losers. First up there’s Wesker. His only win is against Luca, and he’s lost to Lloyd. Then there’s Daxter. Jak was in Lloyd’s fourpack and came behind Lloyd. Daxter is likely to be weaker than Jak as well. These two take 3rd and 4th respectably. Then there’s Sora and Lara. Sora’s been looking better and better over the years thanks to the KH franchise becoming bigger and bigger. Lara’s been looking weaker and weaker over the years thanks…wait what? Oh yeah, she actually didn’t do too badly in 2006. Still, Sora would stomp Chun-Li, and Chun-Li beat Lara. Even if you take the format into account, it doesn’t help Lara topple Sora, or even come close. Most boring Round 1 match behind DK/Kratos/blah confirmed. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Sora > Lara > Wesker > Daxter Moltar’s Prediction is: Sora: 45% - Lara: 28% - Wesker: 16% - Daxter: 11% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis I was 100% sure that this match would be Sora > Lara in a snooze, but after being a lot of these first round matches, the female half of the bracket should be thrown out of the stats entirely. It's too ****ed up and unreliable. On a related note, maybe they overrate Lara Croft to hell and back and will allow Wesker to sneak into second place. God damn would I love that; he's only the best character in RE4 Mercs with the best theme ever. Someone also needs to explain to me how Daxter made it into a bracket before Clank. You people are on some kinda crack, I tells ya. Sora > Lara is the safe pick for a reason, but Wesker deserves second place (first, technically) more than anyone else in this match. And I'm a *huge* Kingdom Hearts fan. Ulti:s Prediction: Sora [38.00%] Lara Croft [25.00%] Wesker [22.00%] Daxter [15.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis Sora – 44% Lara Croft – 25% Wesker – 17% Daxter – 14% I’m not even sure what to say about this match, other than that it sucks more than any other first round match in the division. There’s not much you can take away from this unless Sora just obliterates this pack with over 50% or something. Everyone here is either fodder or close to fodder. It’s just a very boring match with a pretty predictable outcome -- Sora in first, Lara in second. I could maybe see Wesker pulling something off here, but with the way non-RE4 RE characters have performed so far, it’s safe to say that Lara will be fine. Bracket: Sora > Lara Vote: Lara Croft |

Yoblazer’s Analysis This match ain't much to write home about, so I'm going to try to make it short. I've read some differing opinions, but I feel this match is about as rigged for Sora as you can get. His competition is such that if he doesn't dominate with no questions asked, there will be, uhh, questions asked. Win one for this sad panda of a Kingdom Hearts fan, Keyblade wielder! Sora's competitors are Albert Wesker, the beloved Resident Evil villain and manipulator-behind-the-scenes extraordinaire, Daxter from the Jak and Daxter series, and Tomb Raider's buxom beauty, Lara Croft. All three of these entrants are pretty darn weak, tbqh. Lara has an ugly track record and hit her prime about ten years ago, Daxter is the bottom-of-the-barrel platform sidekick fodder that nobody cares about, and Wesker, the only one with any semblance of a devoted fanbase, seems to have nothing but that tiny devoted fanbase, and that won't win you matches in a setting where 120,000+ votes are the norm. So, Sora takes first, and he'd better do it in impressive fashion or people will jump off the Squall > Sora > Aeris argument in droves. As for second, I think Lara is the clear favorite. She'll beat Daxter without a problem, and as kickass as it would be, I don't feel Wesker's very niche group of diehards will prove mighty enough to conquer Lara's mainstream appeal, recent resurgence, and appealing breasts. This could make for one boring wait before Freeman takes the spotlight. *sigh* Sora - 44% Lara Croft - 24% Albert Wesker - 20% Daxter - 12% Lopen’s Analysis What. What. How did both Playstation Platforming Character #25 and his sidekick Playstation Platforming Character #26 manage to get into this damn contest? Well whatever, man, that dingo shaped #26 is much weaker than #25, and that's saying something. He's goin down. Now Wesker... Wesker wears sunglasses. Even at night. That's going to account for something. This match pic is dark so he'll have maximum synergy here. The reason he did so poorly against against Kefka? His mortal enemy the sun was in full force. A Wesker that has a reason to wear his sunglasses is an unhappy Wesker. Then again, we've got Sora here to rant about lights that never go out and suddenly Wesker's unhappy again. Oh dear, there go his chances. Lara didn't look too bad in the female contest (DON'T TRUST IT), so even though it's dark around here, she should have enough in her to beat Wesker. I mean, I said don't trust them, but trust em a little, at least. Wesker's not a hard target to beat, especially when he's being lectured about lights that never go out. And... I think Tomb Raider: Some Other Game came out since the last contest, meaning she might get a boost of some sort. I really don't know, nor do I care much. Last but not least: Sora, your champion. I think Sora might be a little more spicy in this contest... since Tingle (AGH WHY DIDN'T SORA KILL HIM 100-0) supports he probably gets anti-voted often. Lopen's prediction: Sora - 48.03% Lara Croft - 27.45% Wesker - 16.55% Playstation Platforming Character #26 - 7.97% Karma Hunter’s Analysis Another weak threepack with a clear dominating presence. You'd think we'd HAVE to run out of these sooner or later... Albert Wesker Awesomely bad fan-favorite from the RE series with a contest track record that's just plain bad. When you've gone out to Kefka putting up 70% on you and Lloyd Irving getting 55% on you, you're in trouble. But is his fanbase enough to allow him a fighting chance against these scrubs? Daxter The fan-favorite, quippy little sidekick in the Jak series. I love the little guy, but... look at how Jak did. Now consider that it's Daxter. Uh oh... |

Lara Croft The once-icon returns again from her 2k6 showing, a contest where she... didn't... disappoint in? However, looking at the overrating from her quarter of hte bracket, she's not as impressive as she seems. A big favorite to come in second, though... she just has to hold on to those casual fans against the aforementioned pathetic competition and... Sora Fresh off a weird-as-hell KH2 run, Sora has to show us good things in this fourpack if we're to believe he can make the third round - 'specially after what Riku and Roxas pulled (and by that I mean being unable to beat Ryu Hayabusa combined). Sora has this pack well in hand, but how high (or low) can he go? Sora wins... and I'm calling for him to impress, something he usually doesn't do in Round 1 matches. I think this format will favor his type of voter, who while not as large in number seem to stick by him in a significant number even when he gets SFFed. Next round may be a different story, of course... As for second, I have Wesker here... but I'm not gonna stick with it. RE characters outside of 4 have done very little this contest (and as cool as he is in it, too many people are compeletely unaware Wesker was even *in* RE4). Wesker should have the most hardcore fanbase relative to his actual strength, but said strength is so low that his chances are minimal. He'll have to get by on Lara's weakness... and while it's easy to scoff at people voting for Lara Croft over multiple entrants, just look at the competition. I'll go with her here (and cheer like crazy if Wesker pulls the upset). Karma Hunter's Vote: Albert Wesker. Sure he's weaker than Lloyd Irving in a contest setting... but look at the power he's gained! Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Sora with 47%, Lara Croft with 24.5%, Albert Wesker with 19.5%, Daxter with 10% ...yeah, you'd *better* impress, Sora. Upset Probability: 20% I feel that the 'hardcore fanbase' theory has gotten a bad rap this contest... a lot of the time it's been 'disproven' has been on the back of untested characters, and there's a decent amount of results that support it enough. I'm not gonna bank on it here like I was pre-contest, but Wesker winning here shouldn't be an impossibility. ...well it shouldn't... Transience’s Analysis man, I didn't even know Daxter was in this thing. this match is really simple. Wesker's got that hardcore fanbase, but he seems like another Vyse to me - a weak character that will bomb just like always. on the other hand, characters like Lara have been doing great this year. and Daxter.. yeah. sorry, I don't even know what to say here. I guess Wesker has a shot, but not much of one. call it the tran curse if I'm wrong here. I was three votes away from becoming the next Slowflake! Daxter and Wesker? Round 1 is almost over less crap to sift through transience's prediction: Sora with 45.55%, Lara with 28.55%, Wesker with 17.55%, Daxter with 8.45% Crew Consensus: Only 3 posts? Sora > Lara yawn |

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis: Once again, I've got everyone against me. I'm actually still feeling pretty confident, though. Is Wesker really that weak? And is Lara really that strong? Lara pretty much embarasses herself against anything mainstream (17.61% on Samus? Yeah, she's tough....). Okay, so Wesker hasn't exactly proven his worth, either, being beaten by Lloyd Irving and blown out by Kefka. But one of these embarassments has to take 2nd as Sora cruises to victory, because Daxter sure isn't. So, who will it be? Well, I've already hinted that I'm taking Albert Wesker here. The Resident Evil fanbase should be able to rally behind Wesker to send him on through. The Resident Evil fanbase is certainly bigger than the Tomb Raider fanbase, although Lara is more mainstream, which could help. But Daxter and Sora are pretty mainstream themselves, and Resident Evil is plenty popular. I just don't see why Lara should get the votes to advance. Maybe her new game has helped, but, I'm gonna say it's not enough. DpOblivion's bracket says: Sora > Wesker DpOblivion's prediction is: Sora > Wesker Confidence Rating: 65% Sora - 37% Wesker - 27% Lara - 22% Daxter - 14% --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard.

I guess I'll do a very quick write-up not to feel too guilty And yes, this is GrapefruitKing After Riku/Roxas' collapse yesterday.. I'm not too sure what to expect from Sora. He got a great year in 2k6, especially his near 45% on Mega Man, but still I'm not very confident in this match, not too sure why. And It's mostly NOT because of yesterday's match. For some time I had the feeling he wouldn't even break 40%... Now I think he will, but I can't see him even getting close to 45% If Lara doesn't get 2nd here, .... ... well .. I can't say I'll be shocked because there have been way many more shocking results so far, but still, I think she's too far ahead of Wesker for anything to happen. Even if she was hurt by this format, Wesker has just proven to be way too weak. 30% on Kefka? 45% on Lloyd Whining? Sorry Albert, but you're not in the same league as Lara. As for Daxter, he's screwed. Has any N64/PS1/PS2 platformer characters impressed so far? Let's see: Banjo was far behind Falcon and Wario (in a somewhat fishy match but still). Jak got beaten by Lloyd. Ratchet looked ridiculous. Spyro was the Tanner of dragons. Rayman's performance was just... sad. Only Bandicoot did well, but he still finished 4th. Yep, Daxter is screwed. GrapefruitKing's Sour Prediction Sora 41.71% Lara Croft 25.01% Albert Wesker 19.47% Daxter 13.81% --- *warned grapefruitking* Oracle prediction: Big Shoes 41.71% - Big Boobs 25.01% - Big Sunglasses 19.47% - Dexter's Lab 13.81% |

Division 8: Round 1 - Match 31 – Duke Nukem vs. Ike vs. Gordon Freeman vs. Guybrush Threepwood Moltar’s Analysis Duke Game/Series Known From: Duke Nukem Seed in 2002: 3 Seed in 2003: 12 Seed in 2004: 16 Lost in 2002 to Alucard in Round 2 Lost in 2003 to Ryu in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Cloud in Round 1 Still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever! Ike Game/Series Known From: Fire Emblem BRAWLFEAR Gordon Game/Series Known From: Half-Life Seed in 2002: 3 Seed in 2003: 7 Seed in 2004: 10 Seed in 2005: 4 Seed in 2006: 5 Lost in 2002 to Tina in Round 1 Lost in 2003 to Max in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Sam in Round 1 Lost in 2005 to Leon in Round 1 Lost in 2006 to Sora in Round 2 The universe doesn’t exist anymore. Guybrush Game/Series Known From: Monkey Island Seed in 2002: 9 Seed in 2004: 10 Lost in 2002 to Ryo in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Bowser in Round 1 Rounds out this four-pack of disappointment. Seriously, does this fourpack make anyone else depressed just looking at it? This is, without a doubt, the weakest fourpack in this Contest. I mean, these guys weren’t worth anything in 2002, and that hasn’t changed 5 years later. “But Moltar!” You yell, “What about Gordon?” What about Gordon? Sure, he actually won a match last year, but he still isn’t worth a whole lot. Half-Life 2 made him into a midcarder, break out the damn streamers. Anyway, Guybrush takes fourth with ease. There is a bit of debate between Duke and Ike, and like always, Gordon doubting. Well, here’s what I think. Ike was just announced for Brawl at the perfect time, right around the start of nominations. Now, if Pit is any sign, he shouldn’t do too badly for himself. However, Ike was literally just announced a month ago, while Pit’s been known for over a year. Ike also didn’t even get SSBB art in his pic. Ike’s really only got a chance if the SSBB site gets pounded by GameFAQs voters (not farfetched). That’s right, we aren’t even bringing in FE9. No one plays those Fire Emblem games. The only reason they’re made these days is for some character to get lucky and get into a Smash Bros. game so the three people who bought the game can fangasm and then they become ALMIGHTY TOP TEAR and wait gotta get back on subject. Anyway, I believe the odds are against Ike here. Then there’s Milk, who got 20% against Cloud a couple years back for whatever its worth. He’s weak, but he’s known, and hopefully shouldn’t have too much trouble taking second in this miserable bunch of weaklings. So Gordon wins another match. The universe means nothing these days. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Gordon > Duke > Ike > Guybrush Moltar’s Prediction is: Gordon: 38% - Duke: 25% - Ike: 24% - Guyrbush: 13% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis The first round nears an end with one of the hardest matches in the entire bracket to call. The only thing I'm personally sure of is Guybrush coming in last place, but even that's not certain. And yes, my FE9/Ike fanboyism gets in the way. For those who haven't ever played an FE, you don't know what you've missed. And for those who have, stop complaining about how some characters become godlike. Ike is ridiculous in battle. It's as if he were designed as a safety blanket. As for the match, I have no theories outside of guesswork and fanboyism. My bracket says that Gordon Freeman will SFF Duke Nukem to a Gordon > Ike finish. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Ulti's Prediction: Gordon [27.00%] Ike [26.00%] Duke [25.00%] Guybrush [22.00%] |

Heroic Mario’s Analysis Guybrush – 100% Gordon Freeman – 0% Ike – 0% Duke Nukem – 0% We're a band of vicious pirates A-sailin' out to sea. When you hear our gentle singing... You'll be sure to turn and flee! (Oh, this is just ridiculous.) Come on, men! We've got to recover that map! That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap! We're a club of tuneful rovers! We can sing in every clef! We can even hit the high notes! It's just too bad we're tone deaf! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Let's go defeat that evil pirate! We know he's sure to lose, 'cause we know just where to fire at! We're thieving balladeers. A gang of cutthroat mugs. To fight us off ye don't need guns! Just jolly good ear-plugs. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! All right, crew, let's get to work! Our vocation's a thing we love A thing we'd never shirk! We'll fight you in the harbor. We'll battle you on land. But when you meet singing pirates... They'll be more than you can stand. Oh! That was a good one! No, it wasn't. No time for song! We've got to move! The battle will be long, But our courage we will prove! We're a pack of scurvy seadogs Have we pity? Not a dram We all eat roasted garlic Then sing from the diaphragm. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Less singing, more sailing. When we defeat our wicked foe, His ship he will be bailing! If ye try ta fight us You will get a nasty whackin'! If ya disrespect our singin' We will feed ya to a kraken! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming. We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a-priming. We're troublesome corsairs! And we've come to steal your treasures! We would shoot you on the downbeat But we have to rest five measures. A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Stop! Stop! Stop! The brass is what we'll polish And the deck is what we'll mop. You say you're nasty pirates... Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers? From what I've seen I tell you You're not pirates! You're just slackers! A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! Enough said. Bracket: Gordon Freeman > Ike Vote: GUYBRUSH Yoblazer’s Analysis My, my, my. We've come a long way, haven't we, Mr. Freeman? Once, you were the star of Board 8's most beloved fad. We kept you in our hopes. We kept you in our dreams. We kept you held close against our collective bosom, and you, in return, kept the universe whole. Alas, it seems you're now nothing more than another midcarder. Was it really so long ago? Was it all just a wonderful dream? If so, why did we have to wake up, Gordon? Why did we have to wake up... Yes, my friends, GFNW is dead and buried, but the gaming icon who spawned the fad is still here, and he's now very capable of actually winning matches. Thus, it seems all too fitting that he be put in a match with three weaklings. It's as if this new universe that spawned after Gordon's first win wants to show us that it's here to stay. Our supreme holiest's three competitors today are none other than Ike from Fire Emblem, Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island, and Duke Nukem from When It's Done. It still seems strange to say this, but I have a tough time picturing Gordon losing to any of these three. He should have first placed wrapped up without too much of a struggle (although I doubt it will be by more than a few percentage points), leaving the others to battle for second. Let's see who has the best shot of accompanying Gordon in the next round. |

| Guybrush Threepwood is one of the most pitifully
weak characters we've ever seen. Not only is he fodder, but he has the
dubious distinction of being fodder that was blown out by other fodder.
Yikes. Take a seat next to Mr. Driller, Guybrush; you may as well just
sit this one out. The main debate here, which is also one of the most
debated choices of the first round as a whole, is the one between Duke
Nukem and Ike. Duke Nukem certainly has an advantage when it comes to name recognition and industry status, but the man is the very definition of "dying icon." Only relevant for a few years in the mid-90's, Duke hasn't had a game in years, and his ill fated Duke Nukem Forever, gaming's most infamous example of internal mismanagement and delays, is an industry-wide joke. Ike, on the other hand, is an obscure RPG character. He's the star of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, a game in a series that has traditionally flown under the radar in the United States and even on GameFAQs. Much to his chagrin, cult characters in general have suffered through one poor contest performance after another this year, and there's really nothing that distinguishes Ike from the same fate. Or is there...? Enter: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Yes, Ike is in the game. Yes, he was announced as a playable character a couple months ago. No, I don't think this guarantees him second place. Don't get me wrong: if Smash was released last week, Ike would kill this fourpack. Unfortunately, the game is still two months away, and unlike fellow Smash newcomers Pit and Meta Knight (who both kicked some butt in their matches), Ike has never been a part of an Internet-wide hype trailer. The only way voters would even be aware of his inclusion in Brawl is if they regularly visit the Smash Bros. Dojo website. Granted, he could still beat out Duke, but I'd attribute that result more to Ike's being the only appealing non-FPS poll option rather than a Smash boost. As it stands, I have Gordon > Duke > Ike, and I guess I'll be sticking with it. Hail to the king, baby. When it's done, honey. Gordon Freeman - 33% Duke Nukem - 27% Ike - 27% Guybrush Threepwood - 13% Lopen’s Analysis Hail to the king, baby. The Duke is going to clean up this poll, boy. You know why? 1. The Duke is backed by milk, and much like Master Chief will get the vote of people who like to drink things. (That is, the living.) 2. The Duke is the only character here that most people on GameFAQs actually know. 3. The Duke gets votes from people who haven't even played his games. Lopen votes The Duke here. Why? Lopen likes hearing him talk about bubble gum and kicking ass and some other stuff. Now I think that's most of what Ike has going for him in this match. Why Ike has become the favorite to take second here? I don't know. What, the Duke is suddenly some sort of low fodder, boy? Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance? The Duke is amused thinking that this game will get this boy the win. It won't. Oh Smash Brothers Brawl? Boy, the Duke has been in some brawls, and the Duke knows that Smash fans would rather see him in the game. Seriously though... you put those two together... I think you've got a guy that's slightly stronger than Pit. And sorry, that's not gonna cut it here. Duke's weak, but not that weak. |

Now... I took Duke Nukem over not just Ike... but Gordon Freeman as
well. You're asking me... was I drunk? Drunk by ordering Duke approved
milk at the bar like ol' Buttpants Beoulve? Eh. It's possible. Phoenix
Wright might have validated Gordon's strength in a way, but I still
think this is a much stronger PW than last year. I mean, check it...
earlier this month, I went to some Gamestops... and found Phoenix Wright for sale at most of them.
I'd been looking for it for many months with no results! If that ain't
a testament to the power being on the rise, I dunno what is, since
sales were what was holding him back. PW beats Gordon this year, I'm
sure. Point of this is that I don't buy Gordon's strength. I still don't buy his strength. He inflates when he goes up against stronger opponents (and now more than ever I'm convinced Sora gets anti-voted... look at Tingle), and he's gonna lose. A mini Master Chief just won't cut it in this format. (You know, Duke Nukem probably doesn't even refer to himself as "The Duke," but he does in my world! *grins and nods*) Lopen's Prediction: Duke Nukem - 36.43% Gordon Freeman - 32.56% Ike - 25.00% I'm sick of seeing you you jobbing bastard - 6.01% Karma Hunter’s Analysis ...wild fourpack, right here. *sigh* Duke Nukem Part old school FPS protagonist, part running contest joke, Duke Nukem and his constantly soon-to-be-released sequel continue to entertain us all. While the Dukester has been around the fodder line in the past, he's been slipping ever since, turning into a full-fledged joke when Milk Nukem graced our presence in 2004 before Duke took a two year hiatus. He did pretty well, though! ...and hardly anyone thinks that's legit. Can he place today? Ike With Ike, we're seeing either 1.) the power of the pure FE representation or 2.) the power of the SSBB site alone, without the trailer Seeing as how Ike is graced with a Brawl pic here, most people counting on him to place are betting on the former. It's a risky thing, but not a bad bet. Of course, if people are wrong, he could very well be squabbling with Guybrush for the remaining peanuts left... Gordon Freeman Part old-school FPS protagonist, part running contest joke, Freeman fans finally got their vindication last year as Gordon triumphed in a match over Phoenix Wright. And in another horrid placement... Gordon is again tasked with a match so weak that he is the overwhelming favorite. The question is if Gordon can lose... and that seems VERY unlikely. Guybrush Threepwood Once a staple of returning fodder, Guybrush is pretty much an example of the weakest you can be and still muster up enough support to make the contest more than once. Pretty much the one lock not to place here. So... how does it go? A lot of ways, potentially. Gordon is as nonlinear as ever, but he's most likely the strongest and has that dedicated fanbase going for him. I say he takes first without too much trouble. Putting Guybrush aside, that leaves Ike and Duke. Duke is tested, and everyone knows Duke, but Ike has the appeal that GameFAQs goes for (see: Marth), and SSBB hype. If he were in the trailer like Meta Knight and Pit, he'd be the heavy favorite. As it is... can the Smash fanbase come through for him here? I'm hardly confident, but I'm gonna say yes. The man exudes Smash, and we have yet to see a rep from that disappoint completely. For Duke to win, Ike would need to do just that. It doesn't hurt that he's the one character independent from PC gaming here... </reaching> Karma Hunter's Vote: Guybrush Threepwood. How appropriate. You vote like a cow. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Gordon Freeman with 37%, Ike with 26%, Duke Nukem with 23%, Guybrush Threepwood with 14% Upset Probability: 85% |

Man, is this ever a crapshoot. If Ike bombs, Duke could easily place.
If Gordon's fanbase doesn't come through and Duke's recognizability
trumps more than people expect, he could theoretically upend Freeman.
Though I'd expect the rabidness of the Smash fanbase before that,
resulting in Ike > Freeman. Almost definitely won't see Ike >
Duke, but... ...yeah, a crapshoot. Transience’s Analysis god, this match rules. that picture is just killing me. who knew Guybrush could be outdone? but oh, he has -- check out the Duke. then again, Guybrush has won my vote with this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1-9my0tsutw -- HM and I demand that we nominate Midget With Huge Belt for 2k8. someone find me his name, because he's just amazing. anyway, uh, Gordon wins. he's definitely stronger than Duke, has a core audience that actually cares about him, and *might* be one of those non-linear guys who has a sizable dedicated fanbase like Master Chief. he always seems to underperform against weak competition (Phoenix) but overperform against strong guys (Leon, Sora). the only guy I'd consider taking over him is Ike, and that's just because he has such a huge range. second place comes down to Duke vs. Ike. Duke's got the name recognition, and you know he won't bomb. he's fodder, but not fodder of the worst kind. plus, that picture of his is just screaming "time to vote Duke and chew gum, *****es." if it wasn't for the above youtube video, I'd vote him. Ike.. who knows? for one, we have no idea how big that website is, which is simply the only reason he made the contest. if somebody else was announced before him, we have a new participant in this match. Ike is taking Pit to the next level when it comes to "how many people will blindly vote you over three other guys based on seeing your picture in a Nintendo game?" Ike's far more known than Pit though. Fire Emblem is a legit series on this website, and while FE9 is not the most popular one in the series, people at least know who he is. sprite picture or not (and Fire Emblem's was worse), it *did* get 35% against Metal Gear. that's better than Soul Calibur did. in a weird way, Ike feels like the safe pick to me. he might bomb, he might beat Gordon, or he might end up second. I like his chances for second place the best. pirate's life for me Guybrush is so god damn cool check out his sword skills transience's prediction: Gordon Freeman with 36.53%, Ike with 29.44%, Duke with 23.49%, Guybrush "God" Threepwood with 10.54% Guest’s Analysis - Biolizard28 (I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for stealing a number of gimmicks in the following write up) From the website that brought you "Square Falls Flat" and "Bidoof and Mudkip Advance", GameFAQs.com presents... FODDER FESTIVAL! Well, maybe I'm being a little rash, but look at this! We've got a guy whose only win was against pre-JFA Phoenix Wright, one of the biggest jokes in recent gaming history, a scrawny would-be pirate who gets stomped on come match time, and a character from a just recently stateside series whose ONLY reason for being here is a Brawl announcement two days before the nominations opened. A bunch of winners they are. But enough about that. Let's analyze. Let's make two things perfectly clear right now: Gordon's going to advance, Guybrush won't. There's no way in hell Gordon is weaker than both Ike and Duke, and Guybrush's microscopic fanbase will do nothing to help him. And now for the stars of the show, Ike and Duke "Done when it's Done" Nukem. |

| I have Ike advancing over Dukey boy, which seems
like a safe call, but Dukey may very well pull the upset thanks to his
"Kick ass and chew gum" image. But being badass only gets you so far
unless you have something, anything, to fall back on. Duke Nukem
Forever has become one giant internet joke, and unless a release date
is announced the DAY of the match, Ike and his potential Brawl/Radiant
Dawn hype boost, coupled with his own strength, will trample Duke.
Marth only had SSBM to work off, and he did just fine... though, that
speaks more of SSB's power rather than Fire Emblem's. As for order, I have Ike squeaking by Gordon. C'mon guys! PRE-JFA PHOENIX WRIGHT! Gordon Freeman almost wins Ike marches forward Duke's all out of gum Guybrush fights like a cow Bio's Prediction: Duke Nukem - 28.19% Ike - 31.11% Gordon Freeman - 30.67% Guybrush Threepwood - 10.03% Bio's Vote: Ike Crew Consensus: Some combination of Gordon, Duke and Ike, but Gordon > Ike is the most common. |

DpOblivion's Unofficial Quick Analysis: Okay, I guess I gave into peer pressure here. I refused to acknowledge Ike in my bracket-predicting for some reason, and now it will probably come back to cost me some points. Though I see some of the Crew didn't pick Ike either, so that makes me feel a bit better. But I think I vastly underestimated Fire Emblem here. Plus, Ike has Super Smash Bros. Brawl hype now (I don't remember, was that announced before or after the brackets closed?). And you could possibly argue that Gordon and Duke have some SFF going, with both being FPSs. Ike could shine here with the Nintendo vote. I still won't acknowledge him enough to get first, though it is certainly possible. But I'll at least go against my bracket and say he gets 2nd. Sigh, 3 straight days losing points.... DpOblivion's bracket says: Gordon > Duke Confidence Rating: 30% DpOblivion's prediction is: Gordon > Ike Confidence Rating: 50% Gordon Freeman - 32.50% Ike - 30.50% Duke Nuken - 24% Guybrush - 13% --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard.
