Sadly, we've been down similar roads before and SBAllen would never let Ghost Dad in.

5'8". Current BMI is 22.8, losing 20 pounds would bring me down to 19.8, which is still within normal range (would fall into underweight at 121). Not very muscular so I figure being on the low end of normal without being borderline underweight is preferred. Was down to 145 for a bit last year and felt there was still room for improvement, but then I started slacking off.

I was right around 150 pounds this morning. Planning to lose at least 10 more, maybe 20. Wanna see if I can get at least a fourpack.

you know what else allen deprived us of

Message From KamikazePotato on 09/23/2011

Just letting you know that it is not a joke/invalid nomination. We're using the established game of Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, where Charles Barkley is the main character and Michael Jordan is a recurring antagonist. The game and the characters in it fit all the rules of the contest, as well as the spirit.

Message From GameFAQs on 09/26/2011

Wouldn't really call them "historical characters"

Message From KamikazePotato on 09/26/2011

I think might be confused about what kind of game Shut Up and Jam Gaiden is? It's not a normal game. Charles Barkley has magic basketball powers and is traveling a post-apocalyptic world that was destroyed by a chaos dunk. Michael Jordan is the agent of an oppressive government, working to stop Barkley at every turn. They aren't just the Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan lifted from a random sports games - they're basically entirely different characters, like how games like Castlevania and Dynasty Warriors take generous liberties with Dracula and Lu Bu.

I won't press the issue again after this if it still gets shot down, but they really do fit all the rules of the contest. In a weird sort of way, but yeah.

Message From GameFAQs on 09/26/2011

I know the game - but entries like that lead to two possibilities: 1) It gets almost no votes, and goes out in the first round despite all the nominations, while keeping a better entry off the bracket, or 2) it becomes a /b/ rally point, winning and knocking out more popular entries, but alienating the majority of voters and leading to less people being interested in the contest (See: the latest GameSpot contest).

That and the 3DS port of his game probably help but Smash appearances just aren't gonna matter as much as they used to. I'd expect Altair to have declined a good deal in the last 5 years too. Rerun that poll and I'd guess the order stays the same but all three of them finish much closer together.

That was most definitely not your original write-up. You originally didn't even tell people what they were signing up to nominate, only providing vague hints and no doubt hoping that your success with the Epona nomination rally would be good enough to attract interest and that by the time you revealed the character, loyalty and inertia would get most people to go along with it despite it clearly being a go-nowhere idea.

...Seems to have worked great so good job there!

We saw Nemesis in the villains contest. He looked like high fodder and given his lack of presence in the series since then I wouldn't expect him to have gotten any stronger.

Characters who missed the 2013 bracket and are therefore eligible for the returners' bracket who might not be COMPLETELY pathetic (Looking for high fodder-ish or above):

Liquid Snake
Chris Redfield
Jecht
Kain Highwind
Cid Highwind
Axel (Both the Kingdom Hearts and Guitar Hero Axels would be eligible to return! Was thinking the KH one, though)
Vault Boy
Darth Revan
HK-47
Akuma
Ken
Arthas
Prince of Persia
Diablo
Lucario
Mudkip (Probably almost nobody even cares about the meme anymore but being a starting pokemon might keep it from completely falling off the map)
Diddy Kong
Sandbag (Edit: Not Eligible)
Ada Wong
Vergil
Maybe Dedede or Serge? Neither looked good in their one match but they probably didn't get a fair shot.

These guys looked kind of okay in the villains contest and never returned but it's tough to say how much that means:
M. Bison
Nemesis
Dr. Wily
Sin (Seriously, don't actually do this.)
There's also BOTH Master Hand and Kuja, who looked bad at the time but each have reason to be stronger now!

Then there's various GTA and Call of Duty characters and good ole Marcus Fenix, but those guys are pretty much just done on this site.

Yuri Lowell looked like pretty good fodder, too.

A 7 seed in 2010 and a 4 seed in 2013 suggests we'll probably be seeing him again.

Shame that the Vesperia remaster won't arrive in time for the contest.

5 years later and any strength the GTAV cast might have had is probably gone, right? Haven't seen anyone bring them up yet.

I suspect Mewtwo was actually the most independent character in that match and that Bowser pretty much cut Sonic's legs out from under him. Mewtwo wins regardless, Sonic just might have made it respectable if Bowser hadn't been there. Think we saw a similar thing with Red's strong performance against Samus and Mega Man in one of the semifinals, although the pokemon bandwagon was going strong by then too.

And we did get to see post-reboot Lara in 2013. She looked probably the strongest she had ever been.

I don't think Yoshi's a real contender. His only big feats over the years as far as I can tell:

1. Barely beating Dante in 2006. While this was actually a slight upset at the time, it still doesn't sound very impressive at this point.
2. Overperforming on Steroid Snake in 2006 due to the sprite round.
3. Doing pretty well on Missingno. Rallied joke characters aren't consistent, so whatever.

On Pokemon vs Mega Man, there's also this:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5265-character-battle-ix-bonus-battle-3-runners-up-battle

Who knows what ends up happening with rallying, year-to-year variation, or whatever else, but that doesn't look promising for Pokemon.

So both BKSheikah from 2017 and DpObliVion from 2015 get a guru nom for this one, right?

Anyone know what they said they'd pick for a character battle?

I think I remember one of them saying he was considering Aqua from Kingdom Hearts.

Given the precedent from last character battle, I'm guessing the 8 characters in the image probably end up being the 1 seeds for an 8-division bracket.

Given the ridiculous amount of stuff ripped right from D&D that ended up in FF1, I'm guessing "Misaira" is derived from D&D's Magic Missile.
