Summer Contest 2005 --- Score: 89/104 --- Rank: T-364

well, this is the hour that Snake stopped bleeding percentage vs. Sora and Zelda. if he's still getting whipped in an hour, we'll know we've got a real match on our hands.

Down to 883. Bowser still has fight.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time that a noble niner has been in any danger at all to lose to a non-noble niner this late into a match.

"It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine Assault: Nibelung Valesti!" ~ Lenneth Valkyrie

no one's said it in hours, so I'll dare.

if Snake had a normal picture, Snake would have __%.

I say 51.5, maybe 52. ie, it barely has any effect.

C'mon BOWZUHH baby, you can DO IT!

Economic Left/Right: 7.50

Can Bowser do the unthinkable and take the night vote from Snake? Knuckles managed to cut off percentages from Snake during the night in 2004, so Bowser has a small shot.

SC2K5 Guru Contest: Where _______ kicked my ass.

Wario: "It's going to be a photo finish! Will Snake or Bowser cross the finish line first? Our photographers are at trackside, with cameras at the ready!"

Little did the spectators and announcer know however...that a mustachioed rogue agent plumber, clandestine in a trench coat with vested interests in the race stood by to strike if need be. Raising his flash-bulb camera up to his face and red cap, the plumber with a purpose waited...shutter lens bulging off of the front of the machine, concealing a spring-propelled boxing glove to KO his nemesis at the critical juncture.

...TO BE CONTINUED...

"Being a Hunter has to be the best job in the world! Well, next to pimp..."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This is the sprite round, and that's snake's official sprite. Just because it isn't in pretty 3d doesn't mean he got a terrible picture. Hell his picture against zelda was much worse.
---

Atleast he was somewhat recognizable in his match against zelda.

After mario's last two rounds I can see him getting over 60% on snake, and definitely more then that on bwser (but that's a given).

At least he looked more human. Snake looks like a melting pile of **** with green clothes in today's pic.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb

For the record, at the beginning of the hour, Bowser needed roughly 13 votes per update to make a comeback.

The current lead is 865
The expected lead is 856

It's his official sprite. There's nothing that can be done to help him in the sprite round regardless. Aside from that everyone is really exxagerating how bad he looks.
---
"The idiots on gamefaqs are easy to find because they always quote themselves" - dragoontheguy

Actually there are better sprites of him, It's not his "official" sprite.

That won't change unless Snake's picture is the greatest thing known to man.

Hillary Clinton: We need to treat violent video games the way we treat tobacco or alcohol.
Lewis Black: Namely as valued contributors to our re-election fund.

Oh, be quiet, dragoon. Not only are there better sprites of Snake, but the fact that the sprite round is in the Elite 8 during his most crucial match rather than the Sweet Sixteen where it is traditionally held makes your remarks laughable.
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

Show me.

Ghost Babel. Again, be quiet.

I will agree about Bowser not lookin' good though; again, he looks like a blurry pissed bulldog.

Return of SF1: YOU DON'T HAVE A CASE!

When I was making second round pictures, I tried to use the Ghost Babel sprite. You can't. It's composed of approximately 10 pixels, and it looks absolutely horrible when enlarged.

Not until people stop complaining about snakes picture every single round.

So that's it then. Cjay is out to get snake. Well then, I guess that makes me a fool >_>.

Where are these superior sprites?

"The idiots on gamefaqs are easy to find because they always quote themselves" - dragoontheguy

Bowser swallowed Kirby and Kirby's trying to fly out

So do all of Snake's sprites. But it's the colors that help.

knowledge, not acts." See, they just sit around thinking, instead
of actually doing. Which doesn't make them too useful. Action is
what matters! I think.

Snake : Look, what I heard from Mei Ling was that --

Otacon : Snake, have you noticed that you bring her up a lot?

Otacon : Here we go again. What am I going to do with you? Like I was
saying -- You and your hyperactive libido. It's a good thing one
of us can keep all the details straight.
