Vote 8. Bad start for Zero, he'll be winning by the 10 minute mark at the latest though.

NSMB probably exposed more people to Luigi than MMXC sold.

Okay, exaggerated, but still...don't think that much of MMXC here.

Guys, though Luigi's looking good, do keep in mind that I believe Zero won a five-minute-update or two on Mario last year and won some updates on Mega Man with the afternoon vote...so nothing's a done deal yet by any means.

In all fairness, Luigi probably is the bracket favorite overall on the site.

Dante led Vincent despite Vincent being the Board 8 bracket favorite.

Great performace today by the perfects and -1s. Both groups managed to break 90. 0s went perfect so there are still 5 of them.

Two people fell off the Top 50 today. Sir_Lemsip and psich had The Prince of Persia taking out Kirby.

What happened in Luigi vs Squall, exactly?


Luigi jumped out to an immediate 57-43% lead. and by the 15 minute update, Squall had taken a narrow lead en route to a 60/40 victory.

From what I gathered, Luigi tends to do well with the day vote. Nothing monstrous, mind you, but he's got the typical Nintendo backing in the day time!!

Not to say Luigi will lose or anything (since he won't!!), but don't get too cocky.

Yeah, I doubt Zero will shoot back. A 200 lead in five minutes it quite a bit nicer than what Ganon had.

This match is extremely weird for me.

1. It's the only upset in my speed bracket that seems to be working.
2. If I had entered a serious bracket, this would have ended my perfect.
3. I fully expected Zero to clobber Luigi.
4. Luigi>>>>>>>Zero.

I stood by my Luigi pick and now do you see where it got me!

This makes up for Ganon/Vincent. That match was split, but most of this board was like "Oh Luigi doesn't have a chance."

I'm feeling a lot better about my Kirby pick now though. I can't see him scoring much less on Luigi than he did on Bowser, if at all. Bowser being overrated doesn't even factor into the equation...

Still hate losing this point. Maybe the MM series really has lost a step...? =(
