It'll be amusing to see the prediction percentage for Vincent today, followed by Sonic's prediction percentage next round. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

How does someone star in an insanely popular game, grab a 1 seed, and
then bomb? I think MM vs Sora could be interesting. Sora is definitely
a nice contest character, as his performances are so erratic. --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

Well MC is that same erratic type. He has a whole of weird factors
working on him. Halo anti vote, Xbox anti vote, Live vote, MC day vote.
I like the unpredictable characters. They make the contest more fun. I
believe I am with the majority on that account. --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

**** you then, pal. Not my fault you jumped ship :p Not my fault my
favorite character is better than your insane (and you knew it was
insane frome the start) pick. Not my fault people people believe Ganon
actually had a, lol, day vote. My favorite character, who has proven he isn't the punk people were calling him after his powerful showing last year, is winning. I will celebrate that fact... and I think I'll hold off on the dying until sometime significantly later in my life. 40-50 years, hopefully, and all of them filled with me telling people Ganon doesn't have the day vote advantage over FF7 characters (at the least). ...

were calling for him to not just win it but to run away with the match

I'm saying Ganon going all the way through Crono was impossible. That's just nuts. The pick actually takes Ganon throughout the entire male half of the bracket.

Since this match is basically over except for deciding the final percentages, let's talk about the next match: People who have Kirby taking the four-pack: How high can The Prince go before you start worrying about Kirby's chances of beating Luigi/Zero?

Yeah, but I don't really buy the idea that TP gives Ganon that sort of
boost. Mario got an insane boost from Sunshine, yeah... but he was the
star of the game and his match was the day of its release and he was
pitted against a Cloud that wasn't really the force he is now. All
these things lead to Ganon not boosting nearly as much against a foe
that has a slightly larger gap in strength. I might have considered him
against Sonic, but even then I'd be sketchy. No way would I ever take
him over Crono. --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

mumei unsigned, without a signature according to japanese text who knows. Anyway i wouldnt let them get to u HM lets face it the lashings are abound on the board right now. But i'll face them head on! I was with HM all the way and had faith that Ganon would pull though. Nintendo delays have foiled the plot but the end result will still remain Chrono > Samus LOL ;-) this time ill go for the long shot that will take ages to unfold. Anyway yeah this match is quite odd Ganon usually being strong now weekend probably has something to do with it. Still cant see Vince over Sonic we've seen Sonic thrash 7 before at least Dorf woulda given us some interest. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" Tellah-Final Fantasy 4 |

"People who have Luigi/Zero taking the four-pack: How high can Kirby go
before you start worrying about their chances of beating him?" 85%. I have no respect for the prince, really. I could see him actually avoiding the doubling (though only slightly) but I can also see him bombing ridiculously. *shrugs* --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message.

Kirby vs. Ryu Hayabusa - 66.04% Kirby vs. Kratos Aurion - 70.08% Of course, if Kirby were to get that much on Hayabusa, I'd say Zero has no chance because that 3% better than what he got head-to-head. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 2: W, 52-14 vs. Etna |

| Kirby had Canvas Curse last year. He doesnt have

with the awesometude of Model Zx in MMZX! I think I would worry if Kirby grabs 70% + on the Prince though. --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

I see that The n00b Avenger's analysis of Ganon's day vote was spot-on. Good job by him there. Vincent will finish above 52%, nice to see. He should put up a strong showing against Sonic. Hard to say. Prince can be all over the map. Agreed...I don't think that match will tell us anything, The Prince's range is too wide. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
