I don't know.. Soma is Nintendo in a way. I expect Snake to dip a small bit with the day vote.

Why would Soma not get the morning/day vote? His games are on the GBA and DS.

I really wouldn't be expecting Snake to take the day vote here, personally.

Close but not quite again. We're still losing perfects and we lost a zero today as well.

Two people fell off the Top 50 today. OmniscientOne and Edouble24 had Lara losing.

Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2? Forgive me, XIII.
Haste_2 | Posted 9/27/2006 9:10:02 PM | message detail
I made this prediction a long time ago, but I'll say it again: there be at least one bracket that'll be perfect all the way until Sora/Tingle...and then will pick Tingle. >.>

Soma is on par with 2K3/2K4 CATS in the x-stats right now. It's an underperfomance (aka SFF) by Soma, I'm sure.

So, first Mario wins it all when Crono/Samus is supposed to do it...then Snake wins it all when Crono/Samus is supposed to do it (again)? Is mainstream rigging these contests or what?!

Okay, no, I don't really expect Snake to win it. (I figured it was possible for any NN member to do it)

Obviously Snake wouldn't be winning if it was Nathan Graves facing him instead of Soma. >_>

dragoontheguy | Posted 9/27/2006 10:13:21 PM | message detail
...And Soma's looking really weak right now. I thought he'd possibly be around 18% or so on bl.

Who do you guys think gains percentage in the day? CV and solid snake are both pretty notorious for having crappy day votes. I'll just guess Soma since his games are on nintendo systems.

Well, if SOTN didn't have a good day vote, SOMETHING must have allowed Castlevania the win over Halo.

But in all seriousness, I think we can all agree that rallying to get angry sun and majoras moon into 2k7 is an exceptional idea!

Especially if the seeding somehow allowed for them to face off.

You know, HM, supporting LoZ doesn't mean you have to support everything from LoZ. Instead of Tingle, why not give props to LoZ awesomeness like the Hyrule Symphony and OoT's Re-Arranged OST? There's nothing quite like Lon Lon Ranch the way it was meant to be heard (with vocals)!

Well, Nidoran would probably win.

I'm confident in Soma's ability to not suck in the morning as much as Snake, though.

I refuse to believe that Soma's down there with Laharl and Manny and all them, so I'm gonna attribute this to Snake. he's definitely stronger than ever before. (excluding 2k2, which I just pretend never happened) 82% on a well-liked Castlevania mini-series is pretty god damn good.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Ryu overperform on Dante now, followed by people losing faith in Dante against Yoshi, and then Dante winning.

The Prince might overperform slightly by virtue of getting anti-cute votes :)

When I saw the it I was like, "Who's 'Eon'?" before realizing it was Leon.

Not a good pic for Ryu. And Axel looks terrible and fruity, but I'm guessing that's probably just how he looks.

Ceej did a good job on these pics. Nothing much to complain about really.

Regarding this suitless Samus discussion. What if we get suitless Samus in the bracket finals?

The finals are tough to call anyway, but Samus deserves to be the favorite. However I'd probably switch my pick over to the male winner if I knew she was going to be suitless. It's already a close call.

Many will end up below the awesome Tingle!

Agreed.

I think a lot of people are going to say that people are overrating the ZeldaFAQs factor and expecting too much out of Tingle who will be crap...but I think those people are horribly wrong. I think people in general are substantially underrating the ZeldaFAQs thing when it comes to Tingle. I expect him to be able to thrash quite a bit of characters in this bracket.
