Great show by Kirby... it's too late, though :(.

By the way, isn't a new Gamecube Kirby game coming out soon? (or maybe revolution, I don't know when exactly it comes out anyway) All I can say is, with a new non Gameboy game, I'd take Kirby over Bowser next year.

Also keep in mind that Mario 128 will be out next year.

With that said, I think a (true) Kirby game's been due for years; I dunno when it's supposed to come out.

Meh I think a real Kirby game would boost Kirby more than Mario 128 would boost Bowser.

.50% left until Kirby breaks 48%

It'll be very hard for him.

Depends on how prominent Bowser is in it. If it's something stupid like Mario Sunshine, then perhaps.

Well it's more that a real Kirby game is so long overdue. He hasn't had a non gimmick console game since... Kirby's Super Star? Is that right!?

I've totally gots to get me some Canvas Curse... well uh... first there's the matter of the DS. Forgot about Kirby 64, though... right. Probably because Kirby Superstar >> Kirby 64. I don't dig the abilities that are good for one thing, and one thing only. Even if there are 50ish combos.

Bring back the flexible abilities of Kirby Super Star, I say! (Kirby and the Amazing Mirror seemed to have at least some that were in the league of the Super Star abilites)

Go go Kirby tangent!

Yeah, it does, but most of them were dumbed down. Take the beam for instance. In Kirby Superstar you could do the running jump spiral thing with it, the dash attack, the charged shot, the grab, and the basic firing of the beam.

In Kirby and the Amazing Mirror you can... fire the beam. That's it.

Beam Kirby owns. That was my favorite ability in Super Star. I didn't even mention cutter, bomb, plasma, fire, ice... etc. Heh.

Still like Kirby and the Amazing Mirror... but it could have been truly Amazing if all of the abilities were used to full potential.

Kirby needs to take MC's power to take over the votes from here on out...or Master Hand...or CJayC.

More like Starcraft, unless you want Kirby to die with the second night vote >_>

How 'bout Zero then? He won an update or two off of Mario when he was down 63-37. That'd be nice right about now.

Matches where SFF may play a role (even if it doesn't) usually have lower vote totals don't they?
From: Sir Crono | Posted: 9/8/2005 6:15:06 PM | Message Detail
Yeah, but usually not THIS bad.

Yeah, same company/same franchise matches usually have lower votals than usual. Still, even for that they're pretty low.

Well, have we had lower vote totals since most schools have started? I really havn't been keeping track but this seems to be a recent thing.
From: charmander6000 | Posted: 9/8/2005 6:18:06 PM | Message Detail
Let me rephrase that

Here's a question would Kirby have done better against Bowser during the summer, since at that time the day vote came a lot earlier, but now it doesn't come until 12pm Pacific?

They've been lower for the most part, but this is still by far the worst match of the third round in terms of votals.

I think the difference would be negligible at best. Essentially, the same people are voting, just at different times.

For the record, Kirby's performance brings Cecil up to 16.44% on Link, between Conker and Sam Fisher. That's a lot more respectable than it seemed before.

I'm not even going to try to adjust them this year.

Harrich must have been playing Chrono Cross. He's obviously been to an alternate timeline where Dante beat Vincent. <_<

I'm thinking something similar to the Final Four pictures of the spring contest. Or he may go to something different like the Bowser/Ocelot Elite 8 picture.
