Magus' name might be Mud come daybreak.

I don't think it's happened yet, but has Knuckles won any updates thus far (even a five-minute one)?

Does he need to? I think if he can just hold him to a 100- vote lead until the morning Kunx might win...

To think that Crono vs. Magus may end up being more accurate than Link vs. Magus is mindboggling.

Apparently, Magus was able to get pointy-eared rSFF on Link.

Knuckles just got hammered upon that time. Yeesh...hopefully a fluke.

This is the power of Knuckles having never lost a match in the first round. It is inevitable.

Please, it's only a sample of Knuckles' power, without Snake Knuckles has this entire contest in the bag, it's like trying to stop Superman without cyrptonite.

Looks like Lucid was right about the unadjusted stats being more viable than the adjusted, after all.

Huh? This match makes Snake and Mega Man look a whole lot better, not worse.

That one update was clearly suspect, as Knuckles looks like he might already be starting to gain votes on the next update, or very soon.

Knuckles isn't stuffing Magus (not obviously anyway, according to sc2k5). Magus just isn't pulling anything in worth a damn.
From: Applekidjosh | Posted: 8/10/2005 1:13:56 AM | Message Detail
Whoa. Missed the first hour of the poll (including my grand exit from the leaderboard -_-;;) and this is amazing. Knuckles can actually swing a win on Magus? Wow...

No longer on the Leaderboard... but it was fun being on top of the world.
From: Kaxon | Posted: 8/10/2005 1:13:58 AM | Message Detail
If Knuckles did pull this one out, it would be the biggest upset ever. In the Oracle Challenge, no one predicted Knuckles to win.

I believe I would actually win the challenge with my pick of Magus with 53.xx%, or come in the top 5 at least, if Knuckles were to win. Now that's absurd.

Man I kinda wish I more actively kept up with the Oracle Challenge now. If I had jacked up Dante to what I was calling him before the match, jacked Kerrigan up because of what Dante did and her picture, I'd actually be much closer to not being jobber fordder now.

Magus/Knux was what I always thought would happen, so I still win that one.

I'd think about 35% has Knuckles beating Magus.

If Knuckles did pull this one out, it would be the biggest upset ever. In the Oracle Challenge, no one predicted Knuckles to win.


Indeed, I never once heard a single person even remotely question this match's outcome. Multiple people said they lacked faith in Magus overall, but I never read anyone express doubt about the actual outcome.

Even Squall vs. Luigi had some vocal people in favor of Squall. This match had nothing.

knuckles has never lost the day vote, square is typically bad in day. If that pattern continues, knuckles already won.

I know, it's crazy. Every match that was supposed to be close hasn't. And no one saw Ness or Zelda winning with as much as they did.
