It was up against KIRBY, for chrissakes. And, uh...144 zeroes left. WTF mate |

The better Metal Gear does, the better I feel about Castlevania winning its four pack. It'd screw my bracket over, but that'd be awesome. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

So, can anyone else join me in laughing at people who had the winner of KH/Halo beating Metal Gear? TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Yeah. Even though I have Halo winning, I would gladly sacrifice a point to see Castlevania win that match. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

Still safely above 70% after the update. Awesome. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I'll think up a sig later, til then. ^_~ Maybe you should have waited until after the five minute update... snake is always strong with the board vote.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY KONAMI BEING A POWERHOUSE LOL CASTLEVANIA'S GONNA WIN ...when will you people realize that Soul Calibur never had any real strength to it, and that Kingdom Hearts was just a chump??? |
YoFedor33 | Posted 7/5/2006 9:06:35 PM | message detail |
The better Metal Gear does, the better I feel about Castlevania winning its four pack. Why is that? Realistically, Metal Gear is a fairly new series with three games from which to draw strength. Castlevania is on the opposite end of the spectrum. --- still #1 on the leaderboard right here |
therealmnm | Posted 7/5/2006 9:06:38 PM | message detail |
Well, the good thing about this is at least something other than a
Nintendo series is showing off strength. If Soul Calibur gave Metal
Gear a fight, I would have began to question exactly how much of an
influence Nintendo had in this contest. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Listen people. If I'm arguing against Metal Gear having powerhouse strength, so should you dammit. |
Anal Storage | Posted 7/5/2006 9:07:46 PM | message detail |
...I seriously hate the stats topics booking after 5 minutes of a match, for it's path during the rest of the goddamn contest.
Seriously though, this is the last time I let you bastards affect my
oracle pick. First I lower my Metroid from 69% for 65.9%, and now I
lower my MG from 70.18 to 66.67. Sure there's still plenty of time to
swing, but damn you anyway! --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

Could you put a link to the spreadsheet file for the BOP in the first
post in the future? I guess the topic purged, but I'm still interested
in the final numbers on that and I don't know where to find it. --- Support Captain Falcon! |

Why is that? Realistically, Metal Gear is a fairly new series with
three games from which to draw strength. Castlevania is on the opposite
end of the spectrum. There's five games of note behind StarCraft. Three of them are Halo, Kingdom Hearts, and Soul Calibur. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

I'm still not worried about Halo/Castlevania, but Halo beating KH is
looking more and more likely. Hurray for putting the upset in! TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Soul Calibur should be able to get this under 70% with the day vote here. Still...no way this gets under a doubling without a complete MG flop (and I know it happens, whatever). |
therealmnm | Posted 7/5/2006 9:12:10 PM | message detail |
Truthfully, I didn't think much of Kingdom Hearts back in 2k4. I actually took Soul Calibur over it because I felt that Square fans didn't give a damn about it back then. But since then, it has actually become popular among that fanbase instead of just being a game with a bunch of cameos. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I was so, so tempted to take Soul Calibur over Kingdom Hearts back in 2k4...completely out of bias, mind you. But c'mon, people. Can KH2 be enough to make up A TWENTY PERCENT GAP? |
SonicRaptor | Posted 7/5/2006 9:13:48 PM | message detail |
I just remember Master Chief only doing a little over a doubling of CATS, that was the reason I picked Castlevania. I still don't know what to think of that. Every contest I make a risky pick like this and every time I pray it'll pay off. --- "Never argue with a fool, people may not tell the difference" - Murphy's Law |
Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 7/5/2006 9:13:57 PM | message detail |
Hopefully Metal Gear keeps this above 70%. It'd be orgasmic to see it keep increasing tonight and into tomorrow and triple Soul Calibur. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

MC has the inability to ever blow anything out. MC also has the ability to never be blown out.

Well, unless Halo does something ridiculous (like doubles Castlevania),
this wonderful performance puts Metal Gear as the Zelda/Mario/Final
Fantasy-esque favorite of its division until at least the second round. --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

MG might make the tripling overnight, at least. It's almost about to break 73%. |

Well, unless Halo does something ridiculous (like doubles
Castlevania), this wonderful performance puts Metal Gear as the
Zelda/Mario/Final Fantasy-esque favorite of its division until at least
the second round. I couldn't disagree more. I fully expect Castlevania to hold Halo to under 60%, actually right around 59%, and I expect it to then go on to beat KH, and give Metal Gear a run for it's money. I don't actually think Halo is going to take out Metal Gear, but failing to double CV is by no means a guaranteed victory for MG. Halo does not double anything with a semblance of strength. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

You do realize it's only 2% away from a tripling right now, yes? I'm fully aware, for once. I wouldn't call it impossible if Snake wasn't so nutorious for his crappy day vote. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |
