So it looks like MM and co. have finally lost their "elite" standings here.

Good prediction Smurf! That's two for you now throughout all these contests. Can't wait to see Sonic kick the crap out of MM come their rematch later on.

Damn, do I ever wish I had Kairi > Claire right now, lol. Ah well...Luigi's making me feel good, but again, Zero WILL look good for awhile tomorrow. He won updates against Mario and Mega Man, so he's not out of this yet...but it's not looking good.

Guys, come on now, all of megaman has lost its elite standing? It was an untested popular Kingdom Hearts character and Luigi (in a match ten minutes in). Let's keep this in perspective.

Yoshi>Dante
Luigi>Kirby
Luigi scaring Sonic and Bowser scaring Crono and Yoshi scaring Snake more than Squall FTW!

Though I still say this has no effect on Mega Man, considering I have him winning the main bracket yet still picked Luigi to win his fourpack and Axel to perform well on him. But I'll leave you all to your Snake/Squall>MM hype.

Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum!
NewLib | Posted 10/8/2006 9:14:15 PM | message detail
I believe I said before the contest that Mega Man would maybe not be the first of the Noble Nine to lose, but the first to start falling drastically. Mega Man is just fading in relevance.

Next: Crono

It actually makes plenty of sense. Zero wasn't underrated (SHOCK), Luigi was fine and perhaps increased from NSMB.

Why does everyone think Zero gets bracket votes? There are definitely less than 250 Board 8 brackets, and Luigi is the 2 seed.

Just like I said I would, Snake > Mega Man is going to be spread like wildfire by me now. Snake boost + MM drop + MASSIVE BRACKET SUPPORT (I don't care if he always has it!)...

I hope Snake does it during the sprite round just to stick it to 'im!

Let's get ahead of ourselves a bit (because that's always fun).

Now, assuming Luigi wins this with 55% (which is possible), and assuming that Yoshi is approximately equal to Luigi (which is certainly possible), that says some damn good things about Riku.

You do realize that he pulled in the same percentage of votes at all the updates, and the lead slowing down is a result of less votes per update, right?

and assuming that Yoshi is approximately equal to Luigi (which is certainly possible)

But also unlikely. Yoshi does not need to be adjusted up to Luigi's level under no circumstances. You can get the results for Yoshi/Riku by not touching Yoshi's value and giving Riku a nice boost from KH2.
