Why would Lavos need character development? That would be ridiculous. Yes, Lavos was a lovable-yet-weakminded parasite that watched as his rival fell from the sky and impaled his girlfriend. Lavos then swears revenge.

...Right.

I never said he needed it. I was simply stating that he didn't have it, and that's probably what he meant when he called Lavos "generic."
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Character =/= Character Development. And Lavos is far from generic. He's actually about as anti-generic as it gets. A giantic time-devouring parasite that feeds off of planets. He doesn't do it for twisted ideals or insanity, but simply because he is a parasite and he is following his instincts. When Crono and his crew attacked, Lavos was merely defending himself, and fighting for his life.

Give it a little while. Ocelot was around this percentage at the beginning of his match, too.

65.11% got Ocelot/Nemesis right, that's pretty much what was expected. No surprise there, another 4000 perfect brackets gone.

Today's subliminal thought is:
Contest Stats: 3/3 Next Winner: Dr. Wily

Well, so much for Ultros grabbing the board vote lead... hopefully he won't pull a reverse Kefka and beat Wily all day. 65% right now is pretty darn impressive, but what are the odds he keeps this for 24 hours? We shall see...

I think if Ultros doesn't do much here during the night, he's gonna get owned in the day-time. A hunch, but methinks Dr. Wily's got it if Ultros doesn't somehow get a good rally going during the night, and he's not looking to do that right now...

...but this is starting like Sigma/Andross and Revolver/Nemesis, too, so I don't need to say anything like that right now.

Roughly the same prediction percentage for all three groups(assuming 0s are trying to stay 0). The perfect will probably start pulling away after 2-3 more matches.

Only 3 people fell off the Top 50 today. Fantasticdan_0, Sashanan and ksakura did not have Ocelot winning the match. But that's still a 94% success which is outstanding in comparason to every other group.

Well, while we're on the subject:

Nemesis vs. Ultros: Who wins?
---
Can't keep a good man down, baby!

Wily definitely got the board vote. I'm wondering why some people claim/were claiming that Ultros would get it at all. Dr. Wily is way too old school; he'd win the board vote over most villains.

Because he has such a devoted following. I was fully expecting to see him winning the early going, and was quite surprised to see Wily winning early.

Ultros is like Ramirez and Giygas. Those characters have very vocal fanbases, but smaller fanbases compared to the likes of Dr. Wily.

Hmmm....Ultros had Wily under 61% for a little bit, but now the mad scientist is trying to pull away a little.
---
Can't keep a good man down, baby!

If Ultros doesn't straighten up quick, Wily could make a push for a doubling during daylight hours.

I wouldn't go that far. Ocelot wasn't this low in percentage against Nemesis until about an hour in.
---

I don't see Ultros gettin' the day-vote though, especially with whatever site it was linking here for Wily. Plus, just saying he'd make a push for it; I don't think he'd end up reaching it.

Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily in 2k5
Meanwhile, let's pray I pass my finals.....

Wily may very well end up with a higher % on Ultros than Ocelot finished with on Nemesis, but I do not anticipate Wily vs. Ocelot to be closer than an 8% difference unless Wily makes a push and gets at least 65% on Ultros by the end of this match.

Ocelot > Wily > Nemesis > Ultros

and i think Wily vs. Nemesis would be a much closer match than people think it would be, especially after seeing how Nemesis performed against Ocelot.

Wily dissapoints me, as Ocelot did. Ultros may be Final Fantasy, but I still expected more, considering how strong both Megaman and Zero have been. Well, it's looking good for me thus far.

Now if Diablo nails Ridley and Bison, Kefka takes the Ruin Division, Robotnik beats Sin and jobs to Kuja, I'll be all set.

An early update on the issue of Wily/Ultros as compared to Ocelot/Nemesis in terms of lead and perhaps just as telling -- vote totals.

2005-05-06 03:45:00
Wily: 4839 61.14%
Ultros: 3076 38.86%
Lead: 1763 22.28%
Total Votes: 7915

Ocelot vs. Nemesis
2005-05-05 03:45:00
Ocelot: 4784 59.09%
Nemesis: 3312 40.91%
Lead: 1472 18.18%
Total Votes: 8096

Similar in almost all regards, with Wily with a 2% adv.
Obviously, we still got at least 9X or so more votes to see, but speculate away!

yeah i know slowflake your opinion is quite clear >_>

and by strong i don't mean, omg it's snoic! strong, but i mean like, putting up decent numbers against a respectable character kind of strong. nemesis is just way too mainstream to get crushed by any character that doesn't spawn from ff7.

Because he has such a devoted following. I was fully expecting to see him winning the early going, and was quite surprised to see Wily winning early.

Bracket voting, I'll bet...notice how Sigma, Ocelot, and now Wily have started out strong, but quickly dropped a few percentages points in a little while. (Obviously Wily's increasing's his percentage again as of late)

I'm disappointed in Ultros, though I was kinda not expecting it to be so close, anyway...keep the percentage down, Ulty!
