Snake/Mega Man is obvious. We should be talking about Sora/Mega Man! Maybe even Ryu/Mega Man!

I can still see Zero making a comeback. Luigi winning right now looks to me like heavy bracket voting due to Zero's ridiculously low seed.

Whats all this Snake > MM talk... its asinine. We all know there no way Snake can beat Mega Man... because Squall is going to beat him.

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?

Is your sarcasm detector broken?

Also, I cant see Kirby winning the SFF battle with Luigi though he might be indirectly stronger.



Why not? He almost did it against Bowser.

If Dante beats Yoshi rather comfortably, I'll be damn sure that MM has fallen to the bottom of the NN. Snake and Sonic have already proven to be stronger then last year (No way do I believe that the star of the two greatest CV games this generation is fodder).

Go Sonic! Win this damn half-bracket!

Actually, Luigi gained .04% less that last update than the one before.

Uh oh.

I can still see Zero making a comeback. Luigi winning right now looks to me like heavy bracket voting due to Zero's ridiculously low seed.

I really doubt this is the product of bracket voting at 15 minutes into the match. He's got a lead of 447 and looks to be stabilizing right around 55 - 56%. Luigi also gets some typical Nintendo favoring during the day whereas he's not as hot during the night. I think this one is about over unless Zero starts cutting sometime here soon...

Or we could be rational and talk about MM vs. Crono/Sonic (or LUIGI!!!!1!). Okay, maybe that last thing isn't so rational.

I can't see a lead of 450 after fifteen minutes being the product of bracket voting. I expected this to be what was happening for Zero by the fifteen minute mark.

This will get closer percentage-wise, but that's rather irrelevant when Luigi is increasing his lead without much of a problem. Zero also isn't some kind of day vote beast, either. He's good with it, no doubt, but Luigi is also good with it. Zero should be doing better now more than anything.

AGAIN, Zero won updates against Mario and Mega Man before in the afternoon hours I believe, so him winning more against Luigi isn't as ridiculous as people like to make it sound. Luigi may have a good day-vote, but so does the much stronger Mario.

No way do I believe that the star of the two greatest CV games this generation is fodder).

Even if Snake *is* on MM's level, that's more or less something you're going to have to accept...

And to me this speaks of either Zero dropping or a Luigi boost. Even if Mario didn't SFF Zero (and, y'know, that's all but a fact now) Luigi was still lower. I mean, where does this put Luigi based on a constant Zero from last year? Above Squall 2k5?

...yeah, I'm thinking a Zero drop, even if Luigi boosted as well.

Which still won't help him much, considering at this rate Luigi will have a lead of thousands of votes by then.

Yeah, Luigi's doing very good right now, better than I expected. Luigi being good with it isn't so much an issue though because Mario is too and Zero did some killer slicing last year. As long as Luigi keeps increasing though, hey, that's no problem at all.

This puts Luigi at about 35.8% on BL, which is above Vincent in 2005. Of course, this match should end with a smaller percentage for Luigi. So this won't end up being as crazy as it looks now, but Luigi boosting is very likely. NSMB shouldn't be ignored here, after all.

Even so, that puts Luigi a bit too high for my liking. I'm also going to go with a small Zero drop and small Luigi boost. Or it could be a random Luigi overperformance, like he did against KOS-MOS, expect much less severe.

Either way, this is still all weird.
