| This is making me sweat a bit for Snake against
Dante. If Dante has a decent sprite, he could get dangerously close to
Snake. Of course, I wouldn't think Dante could win, but you never know,
with Frog and now Bowser falling on their faces. But now the few sould
who argued that Snake's sprite had no effect have no argument. Would anyone still take Bowser > Ganon? I sure as hell wouldn't. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

WOW @ Leon. He actually took some updates during the night as well?
Heh, here I was thinking Ceej should've thrown Leon to Tidus to give us
another good match, but it looks like that one would've been a laugher! I'm more willing to call a Leon increase here. (Just how overrated could Bowser really be? Not much more than 1% I'd think, right?) Hmm, I guess Ada won't completely get her teeth kicked in by Samus, and I wonder how much Jill will benefit from association. --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Lara (October 21st) One down, two to go! *Tales of the Abyss on the shelf* |

With neither Yoshi nor Bowser impressing (though not necessarily doing
bad, mind you), I'll go back to what I mentioned about Luigi/Zero for a
minute... ...does anybody think that what happened between Mario/Zero and Luigi/Zero is a small-scale version of what happened between Cloud/Vyse and Tifa/Vyse? Yoshi and Bowser might have boosted since last year, but if they didn't at all then it would be really weird to see Luigi boost like he did this year...and Luigi and Yoshi are two of the most boostable characters in the past year if you're looking at the DS rise (its three biggest games are NSMB, MKDS, and SM64DS, plus Yoshi has one or two games of his own on it). If Yoshi didn't gain any (not set in stone right now, of course) and Bowser doesn't do any better against Leon (ditto), it's rather unreasonable to expect something so big from Luigi. Either this is just one of those weird boosts for only Luigi, Yoshi/Bowser gained some and can't show it yet, or Mario/Luigi/Zero worked like Cloud/Tifa/Vyse in a smaller way. If that last one is the case, Kirby is looking a lot better against Luigi, though it's certainly no lock one way or another. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

Overall Im not too overwhelmingly shocked by this for those who thought
i would jump the Bowser Bandwagon like the other cowards! On to Crono.
But i must admit that this does scare me for Peach. LOL. She could be
in serious trouble if Jill is anywhere near Leon. Peach may very well
lose in a blowout! ;-) But yeah today Leon was expected to do better
then xstats with RE4 on the PS2 now. Plus that pic is kinda awkward
compared to the usual Bowser pics where he has the supreme advantage.
Next round i think he will return with a huge advantage pic wise. I
mean a bowser face shot on crono lol. Whether that and the
SFF/Nintendofaqs boost will be enough for him to get 50.96 still
remains to be seen. I expected better but Bowser always has a way of
overperforming in the matches hes supposed to lose and underperforming
the matches he should win. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" Tellah-Final Fantasy 4 |

If Dante has a decent sprite, he could get dangerously close to Snake. All he has is Viewtiful Dante, which... Ugh. Probably better than Solid ****, but it's still pretty ****ing horrible. Anyway, I hope the Sprite Round is 3 (or even 2) so that we don't get stuck with it in Snake/Mega Man, which... Yawn. --- Hispanics 2 | Whites 5 Asians 5 | Blacks 4 |

Cloud Bowser was a long time ago when Mario would've been blown out by
Cloud, and well Bowser Ryu well... thats just unexplainable SFF or SF
having weak aging ability or a huge Bowser boost which cant really
explain the Series Contest or manhandling of Kratos this year. I just
can't explain that match. 8-) Dont know why but look at his stats on
chun neither of those should've happened so I say SFF ftw! --- "I'll do it with my magic!" Tellah-Final Fantasy 4 |

I believe that, given MM-Yoshi and Link-MM, there's definitely the
possibility of such an overperformance. as far as Luigi-Kirby goes,
this doesn't make Kirby look good at all (what's this, four characters
from the Dream Division that have underperformed?), but it also doesn't
make some crazy NSMB boost seem likely either. so I think this match
doesn't really tell us anything about how Kirby/Luigi is going to go.
it just tells us that Leon really is a character with legit strength.
he's looking like Dante here. --- xyzzy |

I should play the Paper Mario games sometime--he sounds like he's also awesome in them. Oh, he is. Paper Mario 1 kicks off with Bowser's finest hour - he absolutely kicks the **** out of Mario. Thousand-Year Door kinda downgrades him to comedy relief, but you fight him twice, and the second battle is actually pretty tough considering the circumstances around it... --- face it cjay i have the high ground i have powend you - ertyu |
