Dr. Wily worries me too. I think he's gonna barely win, but if I had the choice to switch, I wouldn't. I'd feel like such an idiot if I switched and Revolver won.

My hand's fine. I got a hump on my left buttock though. Nothing serious.

Drawing of the Web. You know that base in the southwest of the map, with a bridge going in from the starting point and another leading to the last two beacons? With a ton of Dark Archons and Dark Templars? Well, the Archons mind control my Overlord, and then NINJAS, THOUSANDS OF THEM!!! massacre my guys since I can't see them anymore. I got 7000+ minerals and 11000+ gas sitting in the bank, and there's only one expansion (the one before the bridge) that still has resources. And I can't find a way to get in, kill everyone and take the base for myself because of the ninjas.

Given the opportunity, I would decline to switch. When I first looked at the bracket, I immediately thought "Ocelot in Round 3" with no hesitation. However, I did not think 80% of the board would share my feelings.

The southwest base, you mean. Easy.

First off, you need to send about four or five Overlords to avoid what happened there, and secondly, you need a massive swarm of Zerlings, Hydralisks, and maybe even Ultralisks as an anchor if you feel like it.

As for a quick rundown of the beacons, they're easier than you might think. I imagine you've figured out the south and southeast beacons with ease already, right? Good.

*minor spoilers*







After wiping out the southeast beacon, you have a walk to the one at the northeast position. Bring Duran and about 8 Zerglings up there, then burrow the Zerglings at the bottom of the ramp. That beacon is guarded by Reavers, but there should only be around 3-4 in that mini base. Cloak Duran, Lockdown two Reavers, quickly use Consume on a bunch of Zerlings until his mana is maxed, run back in, Lockdown the other 1-2 Reavers, hit up the beacon, and run the hell out of there.

Two beacons left, and you're the Zerg. Just build a gigantic crack team of Hydralisks and Ultralisks, then assault that west beacon with everything you have. Sneak Duran and a few Hydralisks to the beacon, then run them all north.

The last beacon is guarded by scouts and a couple of cannons. Take 12 Hydralisks, attack-move them into the base to distract everything, then slip Duran to the beacon. Mission over.








*end spoilers*

You mean Maelstrom. Send in a bunch of Zerglings and Overlords first, let them all get slaughtered, then send in the real team to wipe the base out.

You've got me all tempted to do that mission now >_>

Well, Luca is now fighting to get back to 40%. Wesker's looking more and more pathetic.

Sounds fun. I just hope I got enough resources... and yes, I already did the other three beacons.

To stay on-topic, Wesker looks to have stabilized at just above 60%.

Wow, this match isn't even on pace for 60,000 votes. We may have our first non-SC2K2 entrant into the top 25 lowest vote totals.

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

I wonder which Bison we'll be seeing tomorrow: Classic SFII Bison or Fat SFA Bison. For what it's worth, Ceej has used Ryu's Alpha picture in his first match every year, and then a SFIII picture in the 2nd round after that.

Well, with Luca being one of the competitors I'm not surprised. He is a vote drain, and Wesker is fodder. Terrible, terrible match.

Wesker/Nemesis lack of strength, almost makes me want to scale back how well I think Leon will do in the next character contest. Almost.

If he gets an Alpha picture, it'll probably be that one.

I would expect Leon Kennedy to be the strongest RE representative, especially after RE4.

Yeah I do too. But I was expecting him to be quite a bit stronger than Jill.

I think Leon will be noticeably stronger than Jill, probably around the level of Vercetti.
---

Well in my mind I was looking through the characters and I thought he could give Kirby a run for his money, but probably be in between Kirby and Dante. Now Im starting to think Knuckles could be a better level.

I know the general feeling is that Albedo would likely beat Luca...but what'd be your spread in an Albedo/Luca match?

Albedo/Luca? 52-48.
---

Maybe I'm pushing it a bit, but I think Albedo could manage around Crash Bandicoot's level, which would give him a 65/35 win over Luca.

No way Albedo is that close to Vyse.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Well, that puts Albedo at about 37% on KOS-MOS, which I don't think is that big of a stretch. Maybe a little lower than that, but not much.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^

Well using comparisions between Vyse/Ramirez and Kos-Mos/Albedo, the Stats agree with you. Still dont think Albedo would be that high, because first, I think Luca a little underrated and second, I think Albedo is not as strong percentage wise to Kos-Mos as Ramirez is to Vyse. But I dont have anything really to stand on except it looks funky, so you might be right.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

I'm thinking Albedo may be a complete chump. Not on the level of the two we're seeing today - well, maybe somewhat close to Wesker - , but still way behind Bison. I'll be surprised if Bison breaks 60% though.

As for the pics, I like my pic of Bison a lot better:

http://www.freewebs.com/slowflake/bisondiablo.jpg

Thanks for the tip Ulti, it worked. Nothing resists 36 Zerglings to unclog the toilet, then when they think it's over, here come 48 Hydralisks to pwn whatever's left. Funny thing is that all my bases got attacked while I was attacking, so I thought "Why the **** not", pulled Duran out of there, and went straight for the beacons with the 30 or so Hydralisks I had left. I parked them near the first one to kill the Photon Cannons, sent Duran to the beacon, then straight to the last one (300 HP made that affordable) while the Hydralisks covered his escape. Cool stuff.

I understand that KOS-MOS isn't the main character of her games (though she is the poster girl, it seems)...if this is the case, would it be possible that Albedo could be closer to her than Ramirez is to Vyse?

Jigglypuff and Pichu can kick Giga Bowser's ass, let alone regular Bowser..

Does that mean Bowser's gonna bomb, or does it mean Jigglypuff could kick Ocelot's ass?

It means Jigglypuff is Noble Nine material!

I doubt it. Kos-Mos is the most popular character and Im pretty sure would beat Shion. Also, Albedo is just one of many villians, I wouldnt even say he is the main one of the series.

Spring Contest 2005 - Points: 09/09 - Matches: 09/09 - Rank: 00001/24748 - Today: Wesker - Tomorrow: Bison

I automatically assume (many times mistakenly) that anyone I don't know is weak. Since I don't know who Albedo is, I just assumed that Bison would demolish him.

The more I think about it though, I don't think Bison is very strong on his own, and while I think he will beat Albedo, I'm not expecting him to very strong in the grand scheme of things. I just can't see him beating Diablo (or Ridley if that's the case).
---
"Stop it! Don't open that door!" - Wesker

Well, Ulti expects the both of them to be so weak Bison could get past them... but I wouldn't count on it. If Ridley or Diablo blow one another out, Bison's toast, and it doesn't look good for Kefka.
---
Spring Contest 2005 - Points: 09/09 - Matches: 09/09 - Rank: 00001/24748 - Today: Wesker - Tomorrow: Bison

First off, Villians vary compared to heroes. Gannondorf would lose to Link 68-32 without SFF, but Bowser only 59-41 to Mario without SFF. Thus its hard to say where any villians fall. Personally, I think Ramirez would be closer to Vyse than Kuja to Vivi/Zidane or Albedo to Kos-Mos.
---

I just can't see him beating Diablo (or Ridley if that's the case).

Anyone who picked a fighting character to take on Ridley or Diablo is nuts. Unless Diablo is just pure trash, he would easily bash up Bison.

Best case scenario for me. M.Bison/Albedo has a Wesker/Luca like vote total with Bison winning around 55-45. Diablo barely beats Ridley somewhere between 52-48 and 50.5-49.5. Kefka beats Wesker around 59-41. Diablo beats Bison around 55-45. Then Kefka wins =).
