The LOL X-Stats Villian's Contest Bowser was 2% stronger than Megman's LOL X-Stats UnAdjusted Value.

And how Sonic blew out Diablo makes Sonic >>> Bowser.

And if Mega Man is = Sonic, then Mega Man > Bowser too.

Stop sticking to last year's stats.

Under 700.

Hmm, interesting match.

Hope MM wins -- he needs the Final Four placement.

Sonic needs it more than Mega Man, he's never been there.

Eh, Mega Man's made the Final Four twice now, and got blown out both times. Sonic, at the least, deserves to get this monkey off his back and beat a Noble Niner to make the Final Four.

For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

All Sonic needs is to lose gracefully here.

Yeah Megaman has been in the final four twice, and Sonic is doing better than anyone esle who have ever lost to the blue bomber. And if Sonic wins this match, then Mario VS Sonic is starting to look like a lock.

Sonic I agree needs a Final Four appearance, but if Mega Man wins by this close of a margin I won't mind.

Today's subliminal thought is:

Sonic deserves this match more than anyone. He has never been to the F4 thanks to horrible bracket placement every year. This is his best chance ever!

Who has MegaMan beaten to get to the final 4?

Sonic may have his only chance here in a while to actually beat a Noble Nine character... him and Snake are the only ones in the top group that haven't.

I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

Yes. A Mega Man win by exactly 34 votes would probably be the greatest thing ever.

Sonic is slowing down here. he can still take the lead at this rate, but he was going at a pace that scared the hell out of me.

In 2k3 he was blown apart in a 63-37 match by a Sephiroth on KHF 'roids. In 2k4 he was embarrassed by an SFFing debacle from a Link on 'roids.

A sonic slow down is not what he wants if he expects to keep coming back.

Dranze, I could use the same logic you used with Diablo-Sonic-Megaman with Bowser-Ryu-Sonic...

Using Diablo would technically be using "last year's stats" since you are basing his VC Level on how strong he is..

I'm using Diablo from THIS YEAR, you know, months ago? Sonic blew out Diablo more than Bowser could ever have.

And how can Bowser beat those two if he can't even beat Snake?

He probably won't keep the pace that he was going at, but the momentum should last him well into the evening as he continues to chop votes. It'll be not the evening, but the late night that decides this.

You have no way to prove this uear's Snake is weaker than Megaman/Sonic until youu get to the final match....

I dunno, if you're counting on the "after-school vote", all that's left is the West Coast. either that or the cooler kids (ie, those who like Mega Man more) are coming home from school now.

.

Is his fast gains already over? And the winner won't have above 51%, which could make this the best match ever or at least the closest in this contest.

The 'after-school vote' is just a delayed day vote, really. It's not like they all rush on and vote at the same time.

yep.

Its a sonic slow down alright.

Back to nickle and diming.

And Sonic is slowly, but surely, making his push. Hopefully we finally get one that will go down to the wire...

If Sonic comes back and wins this... This will be the best match ever in my mind.

CJay should do a Sonic/Samus 2k5 for fun after the contest.

Maybe we could submit some dream matches Ceej could do. That would be awesome.

My Top 5 Dream Matches Would Be

Ganon vs Bowser
Sonic vs Samus
Snake vs Sonic
Zelda vs Tifa
Vincent vs Zero

Dunno about best, unless it ends up as a 4 vote win or something ridiculous like that. But definitely up there.

And I was using Bowser's Villian's Contest Level from THIS Year, you know, months ago?

Okay.

Bowser blew out Ryu more than Sonic could ever have.

I can pretty much say that Sonic shows signs of increasing, and I'd bank on Sonic being stronger than Snake just by through Bowser.

You are trusting Ryu's 2004 value too much, that's your only problem, that's last year I used this year's proof.

You have no way to prove this year's Snake is weaker than Megaman/Sonic until youu get to the final match....

I may not have 100% proof, but I was more logical, at least, and I was using this year. You use last year's stats too much and now you're suddenly going against it.

And a 21 vote gain, this thing is still on.

In the last hour, Sonic received 51.97% of the vote (compared to 51.05% in the previous hour), and averaged 66.25 votes/15 minutes (compared to 34). If that continues, he would be expected to take the lead around 16:30, about 1:30 before the night vote sets in.

The fact of the matter is that you cannot see who is stronger out of

Bowser/Snake/Crono/Megaman/Sonic until you see how well
Snake and C/M/S perform against Mario. Nothing can be proven until the contest is over.
---

I doubt ceej will do that. Not because I think he's against extending the tournament but because it's fairly apparent that he does hear what we say and he does know that a lot of people get bored with a cotnest if it gets too predictable. He wants as many mysteries as possible for next year.
---
I once made a sig bet with TRE that Ganon wasn't actually over 31 on BL. The jury's still out on the pigman, but props to TRE 'cause I'm a believer again.

Unless Crono goes and absolutely bombs next round (a very real possibility) or if Snake's sprite really hurt him that much, he's likely still the weakest member of the Noble Nine (though outside of Crono, they ALL look to have increased).

Besides, we may not be able to evaluate the two halves of the bracket in direct comparisons. If Mega Man does something stupid and actually gets to Mario, he's liable to get SFF'd into the floor by him and screw up the statistics.

C'mon Sonic...save the X-Stats. (don't you say a word Ulti)

Man, come on Sonic, you can make it to the final four at least. Mario Vs. Sonic would be the greatest thing ever.

Mega Man just took his first 5 minute update in an hour, and is currently just 3 votes behind taking a 15 minute update, which would be his first since Sonic's comeback started 2 hours ago.
