We want to shut Steve up too, right?

Then the perfect scenario would be a perfect tie and nobody advances.

If anyone calls this match, it shall be me, SF's most vocal supporter. And no matter what happens, I was right on one thing, SF is shocking the board to the core and proving RE is like Metroid: Overrated overrated!

But you were wrong on two!

Too bad Ryu sucks with the day vote, too.

And as much as I would love for Street Fighter to win, I'm not liking its chances. Based on its day vote history, seeing Resident Evil get 55%+ in the end wouldn't surprise me.

But I'm not giving up yet!

For the 135 millionth time Halo cut into the percent and therefore won the day vote, it wasn't what everyone expected.

Neither did I. RE was the first non-elite contestant to break 85%, EVER. I figured it had some sort of strength... guess not.

Jill? Yeah, I liked what she had, but how easy those are to find are a factor.

I would take Jay Solano over Shadow Hearts at this point.

Go figure it's #1 in the Top 10 list on the day it's shown to be the weakest competitor in the contest.

I bet half of the series in this contest could've broken 85% on Shadow Hearts. It's just the nature of this contest... worse beatings happen than you expect. I'm thinking it's because series are bigger than games or characters and so "SFF" is more able to happen. I still stand by that X-Stats will be all but worthless in this thing.

No one listens to you because you are wrong on a consistant basis. RE's win is siginificant for being the only non noble niner to break 85%.

FF will embarrass it with over 80%. Who will defend it then?

It'll do better than Mega Man, and I will defend it.

Want to be even more wrong stevie? Please continue.
