But its not a bad picture all the same! At a certain point, youre basically saying, if he doesnt look like a Solid Snake stand in, its sabotage, haha. I think this picture just ends up being indicative of how people feel about Big Boss!

Wouldn't giving Big Boss the Snake pic just mean we have two Solid Snakes in the brackets?

he's losing to a freakin 14 year old kid, probably one who just got woken up by his mom and told to take out the trash

Meanwhile Big Boss/Naked Snake solo kills 50 Russian KGB and saves the world from Nuclear War

I mean if anything this result just says to me that the pic isn't important and Crash is just legit, Big Boss looks normal. It's not 2006 any more, people know who Big Boss here. If anything Naked Snake would have been a misleading pic, should have split the difference and gone with PW/V Big Boss.

Edit: If you are wondering, 2010 Big Boss, who had no pic shenanigans, gets 46.7% on Sora. Right now Big Boss is looking like 49.4% on Sora. The picture does not matter.

this is also an extremely favorable number for Sora because it's derived through Charizard

it's also incorrect because Big Boss gets 52.26% based on that number

Fair point on the Charizard thing. The latter though, not according to the lol x-stats calculator. I'm assuming that is adjusted. In either case Big Boss does look about normal.

We say this, but something like 35-40% of voters in any poll on any forum openly admit that the match picture matters to them when voting.


Oh it matters a bit, but it's not like Big Boss's picture is terrible or unrecognisable. The thing is, in 2005-2007, Big Boss had only really appeared in MGS (I.e. not the MSX games) as "Naked Snake", never an old man or any other form. That is now no longer the case. In fact, the eyepatchless MGS3 version posted in this topic appears in half a game while Big Boss is in eight Metal Gear games. Not exactly a fair representation. Again I support using PW/MGSV pics as they are both recognisable as Big Boss and not an old man. it's not "Naked Snake" though.

Yeah, I actually think Big Boss getting this picture is the fair representation of Big Boss, and that using Naked Snake is the unfair option.

However, the fact we can't put in bracket predictions without knowing if we are getting Big Boss or a Solid Snake proxy in a particular match is one of those things that's never sat right with me. Sad thing is, that would have been rectified if we were actually told we were going to be using these pictures for the majority (sigh, possibly the entirety) of the contest.

Eh, the X-Stats calculator uses cn's adjustments, which I'm not crazy about. Either way, you're making a lot of assumptions by calling this performance "normal."

MGS has generally looked awful all contest, so if anything Big Boss is doing pretty well for himself here.

Then again Kingdom Hearts and Pokmon haven't exactly been lighting this contest on fire either, outside Pikachu at least.

Said this in the other topic so figured I'd say it here too

I think we could compromise and go with his Ground Zeroes appearance, which is recent, prominent, and different enough from Solid Snake that he shouldn't get votes just for looking like him.

My issue is less with the picture and more with the fact that we weren't told beforehand that he was going to be stuck with this picture (and everyone else with theirs) for multiple rounds.

Although my point, especially if you listen to the show, is that it's peak lazy to have less than good pictures for any match in this contest when there's a team of people on the board who will DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU.

This is why I'm confused by the lack of match pics. Presumably the picsmiths here are willing if not eager to do that job for him. If he's worried about backlash like what happened with Vincent he can consult the board for that too

The fact remains that in the series it is Solid Snake that is a Big Boss stand-in.
