Snake doing better on Sora than Mega Man did on Leon?

That's a major o_O right there, people.

Not all, but most. It's the only way to explain some of the obscene percentages--like Yoshi getting out of his fourpack, for instance.

Mario rSFFing Samus and then giving way to Snake to put him in the finals would be the sweetest thing ever...

I wouldn't mind seeing Snake going down to either of them, though. But Bowser doesn't deserve it.

Ahhh, sweet vindication. Like I've been saying since Snake vs. Zelda, and even more since MC vs. DK, Snake 2k3 > Snake 2k5. It would've been absolutely phenomenal to see Snake > Mega Man this year.

Well, it looks like Snake is starting to go up again. He's gotten over 70% on the last two updates. I don't think Samus will outdo him here.

To be quite frank, an overperformance by Snake here wouldn't be surprising in the least. I thought the possibility was very real, even if I never outright said it. Sora just doesn't have the casual support (which he pretty much has to rely heavily on, I feel) to hang with the likes of Solid Snake. He can beat characters who don't have a solid casual backing like Hayabusa or Alucard, but this should seal any doubt that Sora couldn't beat Squall, even if he were indirectly stronger.

0_o @ today's results. Does this mean vivi may not have been underrated, and zelda was stronger then usual? Snake is looking like he could potentially win the main bracket.

Well, DK looks to be stable from his 2003 number, so unless Vivi dropped, Zelda's performance was legit, and with the all-around Nintendo increase practically slapping us in the face at this point, it shouldn't be very surprising.

FTW? Did you see what he did to Master Chief?

Funny that I should've asked how Zelda was the only one seemingly unaffected by the boost yesterday. Looks like I have my answer.

So, Zelda or Ganondorf?

Let's see...

Master Chief - 26.15%
Donkey Kong - 25.34%

Hmmm....Less than one percent is not close at all, eh? And it projects a 51.15% win for Master Chief. Wow, about half a percent off what he actually got.

Wonder how the afterschool vote will go. Usually, with the "school" pattern, the one who gets the day vote makes a move in the early morning, then phails until the afterschool vote.

I would love to see Sonic over Crono. Then I wouldn't really care who won between Mario and Samus, as long as they made it to the ToC. I just don't want Crono to win this contest. He doesn't deserve it. He shouldnt even be nearly as popular as he is.

No I mean its ridiculous how popular Crono is and the other Chrono Trigger characters used to be. Chrono Trigger is old and did nothing for the industry to warrant such popularity like FF7 did. That combined with the overall Nintendo/modern popular character boost, and Crono shouldn't still be this popular.

Ouch. So when did Alucard become capable of hitting the Vyse line? Or is Snake just stronger than he has been in the past and we just weren't aware of how strong Zelda was till now?

From: The n00b Avenger | Posted: 9/7/2005 9:34:19 AM | Message Detail
Alucard definitely disappointed me coming off of his performance with Kratos, so I picked a 60+ pick for Snake this round.

I definitely didn't expect this high though. So Snake is also looking good. Bowser impresses with 60% on Ryu and Snake turns around with 67% on Sora.

Looks like the Noble Nine isn't going anywhere this year.

LOL he went up.

Man, looking at this, I would take Snake over Mega Man right now in a heartbeat (no, Alucard did not magically turn into fodder), and it would be SOOO sweet. As it looks now, Snake is going to be in contention for the main bracket right around when MM is struggling against Yoshi to preserve the Noble Nine.

...wow.

Snake is winning the day vote... that's just too good.

Man I wish I'd have put Solid winning the main bracket now. Even though the odds still aren't great I'd be hopping mad with this match.

And I don't think Snake has pic advantage, either, I'll say it again. If it were based on pic only I'd vote Sora. The (!) is freaking classic.

Well, neither did I (even I think he really has no chance in hell), but he'll go down respectably, and I can't see him not being the big favorite against Bowser at this point. I mean, how many people would take Bowser over Samus 2k4?

People are seriously thinking SNAKE can take the main bracket? Will people ever learn not to take matches against weaker characters at face value. He still has to PASS the likes of Mega Man, Crono, and the other top characters. I don't see that happening at all.
