The same can be said for Kirby though, keep in mind.

I don't remember Kirby's matches being remembered for vote-drawing power like Luigi's are...and Kirby/Luigi will probably be a relatively lackluster affair, looking at Kirby/Bowser.

Should I start running now?

Nah, I meant Kirby hasn't faced elite competition yet either (barring Bowser, but I assumed we were meaning THE Noble Nine here).

Bold hypothesis If Zero/Luigi was held on any other day, the match would've been at least a heck of alot closer

Not a chance. Luigi proved he would have won decisively no matter what day this match was held on. I have to give the man at least that much respect.

Now it's just a question of whether he can follow this up and truly break his curse. Round 2, baby...

Does nobody else find it completely odd that this match of all matches is going for the highest votals?

Holiday day results in more traffic, resulting in more Nintendo votes

and in the past 5 hours, Luigi has only gained 200 votes..... *sigh*

poor Zero. -_-

on a side note - it's too bad we didn't get Captain Falcon vs. Sub-Zero as a 4/5 match. THAT would have sparked some good discussion and been a potentially close match. ah, well.

Also Zero doesn't have the complete badass look going for him this time around. I mean...even if you had never heard of him...you're tempted to vote for him just based on how damn badass he usually looks.

Fisher/Magus only had higher vote totals than Gordon/Max in 2k3, and Fisher/Magus was on the 4th of July.

And the 4th of July occurs in the summer last I checked, a time when kids aren't usually in school.

Heh, I was confused that Zero finally had a picture that didn't make him look like he was completely and utterly dominating his opponent in terms of attitude...but he really was due.

this match says zilch about Bowser vs. Crono. Crono would need to bomb in the most incredible way for me to consider Bowser over him.

conversely, Bowser would have to get near Mega Man's percentage on Kennedy to consider him a threat to Crono.

Let's see if the Random Integer magic works again! The prediction percentage for Luigi/Zero is... RandInt (40,75) = 52%...that's definitely too low.

conversely, Bowser would have to get near Mega Man's percentage on Kennedy to consider him a threat to Crono.

I checked up on this last night! Bowser needs to get 65% on Leon Kennedy (assuming Leon 2k5 = Leon 2k6) in order to match Crono 2k5's expected percentage.

Falcon getting 35% here and Bowser getting around 63 - 64% would be optimal!
