On a site like Gamespot, Captain Price will have some legit strength I'd imagine. He'll beat Launchpad

Agro is winning two rounds!

Luigi/Alyx is such a hard match. Amazing how Luigi would probably 75/25 that one on GameFAQs (at LEAST), but it's tough for me to pick on GameSpot.

I've got Agro losing to Dogmeat. Dogmeat did beat Epona in the vote ins, and is from one of the more popular games this gen (Fallout 3)

I think Launchpad could be the Darth Vader of this contest.

But maybe most of the voters on the Gamespot site are to young to have watched DuckTales. >_>

Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me

I have absolutely no idea how people on gamespot will vote, so I threw together a bracket extremely haphazardly on the extremely off chance I do well

--
boring and mundane signature
Now with more bold! Less Italics due to bold

Oh, Dogmeat is from Fallout? I figured it was an unknown from some unknown game. Yeah, might change that.

I made my bracket based upon my knowledge in Gamefaq contest...
So I have a Luigi VS Vivi finals
One less bracket to worry about I guess?

Einstein might get a legitmate power if 4chan will decide it's funny to let a real character win
Also Navi vs Servot is interesting match
And Lucca against Tails

Western characters are more popular. PC characters as well. The top tier in this contest are probably Luigi/Yoshi/Alyx Vance/Cube/Garrus. On GameFAQs, Luigi and Yoshi (and probably Zero) would murder everyone. GameSpot's contests are also much more susceptible to 4chan rallying/cheating. Trying to pick out a match where they may interfere can be a good gamble.

For example, they rallied for General RAAM (who would be the fodderest fodder ever on this site) over Sephiroth. HaRRicH predicted this in his bracket, IIRC, and it helped him bigtime.

what kind of strength would Wakka have on GS? >_<

Not enough to avoid the thrashing Tails would give him. I have no idea about Wakka/Lucca.

Even though I think Wakka will be quite weak on Gamespot, I can't see snes jrpg characters being strong at all there. I'd take Wakka just for being a less old.

Johnson can also be the 4chan pick. But for that, I'm going with Blob. Just look at it's pic!

You know, I just realized... FF7 doesn't have any characters, even though Chrono Trigger has 2.

They shoulda put Tifa or Vincent in, at least.

Choosing the winner of the top left part seems a lot tougher than the other 3.

Luigi > Garrus it is

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2514

I think you're giving Alyx Vance too much credit!

Just remember: Soul picked this upset!

Oh, and Einstein > Launchpad in the finals, I guess.

I've got Yoshi> Luigi in the final, but it'll probably end up being WCC/Einstein or something.

--
There will be blood, it might be yours so go kill someone
Signed: Bad Horse

Cube > Luigi.

However, I hope they rally Einstein because he is from Command and Conquer.

edit: I personally don't care how good I do, because Gamespot's contests suck and they refuse to acknowledge it. I'm just assuming they get a brain and, you know, stop vote stuffing this time.

Yeah I have no clue how this is going to go. The hardest match to call for me though is Garrus Versus HK47

Currently I have Luigi>Hk47 but I might change that. Otacon and Cortana are my other 2 final 4ers.

--
Chrono1219

Diddy Kong/Vivi is a tough match to pick. On GameFAQs, Vivi would badly trash Diddy Kong and would get about 56% on Donkey Kong. The only thing that's keeping me from picking Vivi > Diddy Kong is the fact that RPG characters are weaker on GameSpot than GameFAQs.

http://i51.tinypic.com/2zpi5w4.png <-- How I look as per Clogged_Artery (Thanks!)

Tails
Cortana
HK-47
Yoshi
Luigi
Alyx Vance
Cube
Vivi

Cortana
HK-47
Luigi
Cube

Cube over Cortana


I probably shouldn't take Cortana that far. Tails vs Cortana was the one I stared at for the longest trying to decide on. Ultimately I decided whoever it was had to beat Luigi in the semis because Luigi as a finalist just seems weak, and I figured the factors that would get Tails that far would SFF him out against Luigi. I certainly agree with whoever said the first quadrant is the hardest to predict. Luigi vs Vance for the upper-right is almost a given.

I've also got some picks that don't look very good in retrospect, but who knows? Like Doc Louis winning two rounds, Frog as well, Daxter over Toad, Dom over Chocobo...


BTW, how the hell did they assign the spots in their bracket? It makes no sense. The #2 and #3 vote-getters are in the same division. Upper-right has 3 of the top 8, while the upper-left has just Tails. All the round 1 matches should be an upper 32 vs a lower 32, but quite a few of them are not.

heh, I go looking at the contest rules to see what prize if any there is for the best bracket, and I see this:


Participants must enter their projected winners of all 32 match-ups of the Tournament, round by round.

Somebody fails. 64 participants. One loses each round. 63 matches to get down to one winner. There's 32 in round one, but that's not what it says. Hope that doesn't screw up any legalities in the techno-lawyer-babble.

Going with Zero/Luigi/Yoshi/WCC.

Yoshi > Luigi with 54.48% in the Finals.
