Nobody mentioning that we have a new #1 for vote totals? Vincent/Ganondorf netted nearly 2,000 more than Tifa/Ivy! How is that remarkable at all? This match was nothing but a disappointment in terms of vote totals. Everyone was expecting it to be the best vote draw of the round, and only outdoing Tifa vs. Ivy by 2000 is pathetic for a Nintendo vs. Square match with two near elites that was the second closest match we've seen yet. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I know now not to underestimate the power of boobs. If Ganondorf and
Vincent had Tifa and Ivy's jugs superimposed over them, that match
would've had 200,000+ votes. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Hmm. The Prince does seem to be around Kratos' level here. Good performance by Kirby, though this really doesn't say anything. As for yesterday's match, those were some awesome prediction percentages. 3/4th of the perfects lost? Enough to propel me to a #39 leaderboard position! Weird they use the universal name. I did not know this. Now only Zero needs to win, or my fame will be short-lived :d --- CB: 26/26. Today: Kirby vs. The Prince. Tomorrow: Luigi vs. Zero. |

Kirby is weaksauce. The prince is bottom tier fodder, and Kirby is struggling with him? Luigi may very well be stronger than him now. >_< --- Smurf. The Cream of Knuckles Fanboyism. |

I always assumed the reason why we didn't have the sprite round in the
Sweet Sixteen last year was because of Master Chief. With him having an
approximately 0% chance of making the third round this year, I'd assume
it would return to normal this year. Or maybe I'm just having my dark soul FILLED WITH DENIAL. Yeah! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Also, I'm loving how The Prince is still increasing his percentage
throughout the day in the face of the puffball. It definitely seems
reminiscent of Kratos, so that can't be a bad sign. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I guess I underestimated the power of the Prince's new games. Taking
the day vote from a Melee character no less. Or maybe a bad ass pic can
simply work wonders. Or maybe Kirby is a fraud. Nobody knoooows. --- Should I start running now? |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 10/8/2006 11:41:45 AM | message detail |

Even if you want to attribute this to the picture, that's going to be
part of The Prince's inherent strength. He simply doesn't have any bad
pictures. <_< --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Did you see the beatdown that the KING OF SFF dealt out to Axel? I
mean, c'mon, we all know Axel's stronger than Sora and yet MM made him
look worse than Snake made Sora look. Excellent performance on the Blue
Bomber's part. Meanwhile, it doesn't look like Samus is exactly a beast with SFF looking at the -dorf, EH? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

The x-stats almost predicted it perfectly. Maybe Ganondorf was underrated proportional to Vincent's boost LOL --- Kirby vs. Prince of Persia / Bracket: Kirby / Vote: Kirby(25/26) Tomorrow / Bracket: Zero / Vote: .. Still thinking |

Well, hey, he did have Dirge of Cerberus; that literally must have
accounted for something. As staunch a Ganon supporter as I was (still
am a Bowser supporter over Vincent), I just thought it wouldn't be
enough. To deny it had any effect though is silly; it was a new game
after all. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Maybe Ganondorf was underrated proportional to Vincent's boost LOL It wouldn't be surprising to see Ganon stronger than Vincent in 2005, but Vincent boost above him by a bit in 2006 to get that result. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

Ya know, I just thought of another reason why Luigi needs to win tomorrow... ...if he wins and the sprite round is in the Sweet Sixteen, that guarantees either a Kirby or Luigi sprite to be used.

I don't think the sprite round will be used in round 3 because of characters like Rikku, Tifa, Aeris, Yuna and Auron. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |
