Robotnik vs. Wily: Who wins?

That's the championship match in my favorites bracket.

I would vote Wily, but Robotnik would win a match between the two.

It's strange how the 2 seeds bombed this time instead of the 3 seeds. We'd only had one 2 ever lose to a 7, and this contest, it happened twice. Liquid Snake's the only two left, and he disappointed greatly against Lavos.

Can't keep a good man down, baby!

Here's a question. Has anyone in this contest ever gotten 65% or more of the board vote and went on to lose?

2-seeds started disappointing when Mario lost to Crono.

CATS...ahem. I don't think he stayed up at 65% long though. Street Fighter 2, maybe? I didn't stay up for that one.

Not sure.

I'm not sure, but I see no evidence to suggest a Master Hand comeback. Robotnik's lead has reached nearly 600 in just half an hour. It looks like I lose my perfect, and my main is back in the hunt.

Nobody has ever come back from this large of a percentage gap. Donkey Kong never broke 57% on Duck Hunt and Duck Hunt never made a successful comeback. This is over twice that gap. Master Hand maybe the master of the day vote, but he still needs a miracle to pull off the comeback.

After yesterday's match, we have to wonder how many people have Revolver over Bowser and the Ruin winner over Ganon.

It appears that this is how it will end up.

Poor Kuja. No one likes you.

This match does look pretty much over. Master Hand should be able to bring this below 60%, but victory would take a mini miracle.

And the strange thing is how big the gap between Sin and Kuja will be at this rate.

I could still win this >_>

Are any of the perfects in the guru challenge?

So... Kefka versus Diablo. The Ruin finale. Who do you have?

I've got Diablo. As impressive as sprite Kefka was against Wesker, Diablo beat Bison, and I'd take Bison over Kefka.

Not that strange, since Final Fantasy X is much more popular than IX. And Sin dominates discussion in X.

It's the SSBON Factor! Master Hand overperformed against Kuja because a new online SSB game was announced only one day before his match. Maybe not.

Well, it's strange in the sense that...well...It's Sin. Then again, after what Lavos did, I shouldn't be all that surprised.

Can't keep a good man down, baby!

If I had picked ****in' Diablo to win Ruin instead of Ridley, I would be little more than a coin-flip away from a perfect bracket right now. Jesus...this is assuming Robo wins now. I still wouldn't count out the hand yet though; it jumped from about a 350-lead half-way through the match to finishing about 5,500 votes ahead.

Yeah, in a match that was virtually 50/50 at this point. Robotnik is clearly on a different level than Kuja.

My bracket's out of the running at this point, but I still think Kefka/Diablo is an absolute toss-up right now.

Clearly, yes, but I don't know how much higher of a level he's on. I'm gonna go to sleep, and I'll judge alot better come morning time.

It's pretty easy to see that Robotnik is a good cut above at this point. Master Hand is doing nothing to stall him right now.

Can't keep a good man down, baby!

If this doesnt start to look better soon, I'm gonna be confident that Kuja's loss was due to the trance-vestite vs. LASER HAND picture. I still have problems with Sin>Kuja, let alone by this much.

And, um, where the heck was the support that got Kuja a 2 seed?

Yeah. Sin > Kuja doesn't surprise me anymore. But Sin being projected to win by more than 65% in a match barring SFF is just a little... bleh

I think it'll be interesting at this point to see how closely Sin ranks to Kefka at the end.

Can't keep a good man down, baby!

A little more than an hour in, and Robotnik's lead is over 1000. He's still maintaining a solid 65% as well. This one's pretty much over. Kinda anti-climactic.

Kefka/Diablo is really our last chance for a good wire-to-wire close match now.
---
Can't keep a good man down, baby!

2363-vote lead. In Kuja vs. Master Hand, Kuja would reach his peak a few minutes from now.

Dr. Robotnik's lead would keep growing steadily until about 2 PM contest time against Sin.

Current Match Prediction -- Dr. Robotnik vs. Kuja
Spring 2005 Contest -- 29/30 points

Wow...this is like...so...wrong. Sin > Kuja...but not enough to beat Robotnik.. I mean, what the ****?! You have got to be kidding me. CONSPIRACY'D

At least I was correct about one thing: People DO care about Sin...even more than Kuja....nomination stats don't lie to you. X_x'

(I wonder if any big SSBM sites has this battle linked...and I'm going to be on a field trip all day and might not be back until 7:00 PM EST...or later..so don't even say I'll do something.)

None of the group got this perfect. Not even the perfects. One of the perfects had Ansem beating Ganondorf. One of the perfects had Ansem beating Ganondorf. One of... *sigh* moving on...

I had to laugh at this. XD

wow, talk about anticlimactic. I suppose MH could catch up if it gets that insane day vote again, but it's not looking likely. if Diablo / Kefka doesn't give us a close match, this is officially the most boring contest ever.

I can't believe Kuja is so weak. how did nobody play ff9? I never hear people say they dislike ff9, and everyone seems to like Kuja, so I just assume nobody's played it. anybody have ff9 sales numbers compared to, say, ff8?
