Board 8 > My picks in the debated matches: convince me about my single best change.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or maybe one change per round.

I filled out the bracket quickly and haven't changed anything since then....

Round 1
Ike/Black Knight > Conker/Mighty Poo
Kirby/MK > Jill/Nemesis
Bartz/Gilgamesh > Guybrush/LeChuck
DK/K Rool > Enzio/Rodrigo
Sub/Scorp > Leon/Ada
Fox/Wolf > Yuna/Seymour
Bosses > Tidus/Jecht
Gordon/Breen > Phoenix/Edgeworth
Alucard/Dracula > Shepherd/Saren
Chell/Glados > Ness/Gigyas
Pac/Blinky > Crash/Neo Cortex
Sora/Riku > BJ/Adolf

Round 2
Sonic/Robotnik > Kirby/Metaknight
Red/Blue > Luigi/Waluigi
Ryu/Ken > Fox/Wolf
Bosses > Chris/Wesker
Alucard/Dracula > Gordon/Breen
Frog/Magus > Chell/GlaDOS
Sora/Riku > Dante/Vergil

Round 3
X/Zero vs. Zero/Scorpion
Ryu/Ken > Red/Blue
Samus/Ridley > Bosses
Alucard/Dracula > Frog/Magus
Squall/Seifer > Sora/Riku

Round 4
Samus/Ridley >. Ryu/Ken

I'll refrain from mentioning final round picks, since those are, of course, extremely debatable, and I don't want those discussed here.

Currently my greatest R1 worries are Phoenix/Edgeworth and Enzio/Rodrigo. For R2, my biggest concern is whether Big Boss/The Boss can make it. From there, there's nothing I really consider a toss-up until the semis.

Picks look pretty good to me.

Fox/Wolf > Yuna/Seymour

Change this around.

Ezio may have the worst rival pairing in the contest, and I don't think Ezio is much stronger than DK to begin with.

Donkey Kong/King K. Rool? Mo' like Chokey Kong and King K. Choke. They won't make it out of the first round.

Ezio does have a big new game coming out shortly after the contest starts though, so that'll help him a bit over the slightly less relevant DK.

The game doesn't come out until after the match, however.

And DK had his first new good game in...probably the first time since these contests began, when DKCR released last year, so who knows.

DK is a lock.

If it wasn't for Brawl, I would have picked Yuna/Seymour.

It's good to know that Ezio isn't paired with a very appropriate rival. That makes me feel a little better.

Oh, and excuse me, I meant Ezio, not Enzio. Just like I almost called Gordon's rival "Dr. Bean" instead of "Dr. Breen". =P

Well, it's not that Rodrigo isn't an "appropriate" rival.

He's just...not a very good character. And you don't even know his name until literally the last part of the game.

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

I only have two different picks so far:

Lawyers > Gordon
Frog/Magus > Alucard/Drac

That division is a crapshoot, though. I'm sure I'll be changing stuff there.

Oh I know you are not saying Jungle Beat is a bad game.

In terms of general audience reception?

Yeah.
