I never once questioned Hand over Kuja, had it since the first day, what I have changed, multiple times is Robotnik > Hand, Hand > Robotnik.

I have Robotnik over Hand locked in, but I'm wishing I had Hand now, if only for the underdog excitement.

...and I realize this match is far from over, Sin gaining 900 on Robotnik in the last few hours last night, I won't be satisfied until I see a 1,000+ lead from Hand, and I don't think that's happening.

My "MyWorldIsSNES" alt has the exact same bracket as my main, except four this four-pack. There, it has Master Hand over Robotnik. I still have a good shot at a perfect if MH wins, but no money. =\

Thinking about it, I'd be willing to bet that MH has the brackets behind him, and by a lot.

I'll believe it when I see it; I think MH might have 40%...might.

I think the most interesting stat of the day is that 577 people out of 280 perfects say they're tied for first place in the side-poll next to the main one.

I weep for humanity.

Damn, Kuja's pace wasn't exactly inspiring early on... and with what Hamburger Helper Dude did this last hour, this doesn't look good. Master Hand has it in the bag. Damn, they'll vote for ANYTHING. As long as it's not named Ridley, it seems.

---

Well yeah, I think the 8 (EIGHT!!!) BOP entries that had MH winning this match must be laughing their asses off. The 300:1 underdog taking out the 12:1 favorite... I think we were all collectively owned.
---

I think MH only had, what, eight on his side in the BOP? I know there was only a select few; more had him in the Gurus than BOP, I think.

That's surprising. I expected more along the lines of 40% going for MH. Must be why all of you seem so shocked by MH performance.

As a side-note, MH's close to 600.

PS3 will be first place. Domination. Xbox 360 will be 2nd in sales...but still, huge losses for M$. Revolution will be 3rd. Still; big profits for Nintendo.

MH gained 340 votes in the last half hour. Is there a smashbros.nintendo.org that I don't know about?

game, set, match.

Now the question is, robo or MH?

I believe robo and MH share a more similar fanbase than MH/kuja and robo/sin, so robo and MHs performance against these FF characters are hard to compare.

*most* people say kuja > robo, so MH>robo, but I think some SFF may come into play. Either way, my pick is MH for another match.

*slaps forhead for listening to board and changing pick*

Master Hand's lead increased by 340 votes in a half hour, 170 votes per 15 minutes....

Omg.

Uh, it's my first post in these topics, please don't shoot me if I say something stupid. >.>

Damn, they'll vote for ANYTHING. As long as it's not named Ridley, it seems.

Nah, not really. I think it's more about Kuja's weakness than Master Hand's strength: It's a popularity contest after all, and Kuja is not that well-known. FFIX is not that popular (even on GameFAQs), and people who haven't played it will vote for the character they know. Everyone knows Master Hand. Ridley vs. Diablo is a completely different story, with the non-Nintendo character being more well-known than the Nintendo one.

What puzzles me now is DK vs. Vivi. Not only Donkey Kong is playable in both SSB and SSBM, but he also had his own series and at least one game for each Nintendo console ever made. I can't see how he's less popular than Master Hand, really.

If Nintendo fans really voted for anything, I don't see how they would support Donkey Kong less than Master Hand. Either the Black Mage factor really had a lot of influence in that poll or FFIX fans don't care about Kuja all that much, I guess. =P

It'll be 1000 by 4pm EST at this rate. It's all one way traffic. Well, there's another three points gone, maximum of 70 for me now. And I've got Ocelot over Wily.

Hmm. I've just noticed that my zero bracket has Master Hand winning the four-pack. That could be an odd jump from 2 to 4.

Of course, I had CATS winning the division.

Wasn't FF9 the one with Beatrix?
If so, there's your problem. Kuja doesn't get the full Square vote, he loses the "I only finished disk 1" vote.

Whereas Vivi is known from moment 1, AND he's cute.

Blame Square for not revealing who the true villian is until the end. It's what kills Kefka too.


DK, being an ape, suffers from the "George Bush Ceiling". He'll never get over 50% again. </sarcasm>
