I really like how people who took Mario act like they KNEW that
Samus was going to get SFF'd to the ground when not even Link himself
appeared to do so before. Most Mario supporters were just using the
"IT'S FREAKIN' MARIO" argument. I assure you I never used that argument. I just knew that in the Nintendo hierarchy, Samus was always a little overrated. Case closed. --- Proud Member of The Bonne Pirate Family and Creator of the Servbots! WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Jill needs to gain about 8 and a half votes per update from here on in
to win. I'm stating the obvious but this'll probably be one of the
closest votes there's ever been... --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony! "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." - Richard Nixon |

Jill is starting to do what she needs to in order to make this match
wire-to -wire and finish in her favour. I have a feeling that we may
not know the victor of this match until the very last update. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

if Jill ripped like 40 votes off this lead in one update, the board
would go nuts. we haven't seen a down-to-the-wire match in... two years? --- xyzzy |

This is nowhere near Mario/Samus, and for you to replace it with this
would diminish what Mario/Samus truly was. Samus was the overwhelming
favorite on the board. Peach is the overwhelming favorite here. Mario/Samus wasn't even close. This match is going down to the wire. There's no comparison, and this is coming from someone who had Mario and thought Peach would take this match with ease. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

What the HELL is going on? Every time I leave my PC things take a turn
for the worse for Peach... that's it goddamit, I'm staying until the
end of the match. This seriously has the potential to beat MC/Frog, not
that I realistically think it's gonna happen, but it has a shot. If
Peach doesn't get her ass to stall some more, or make small increases,
I fear Jill will only be getting stronger as time progresses. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

would go nuts. we haven't seen a down-to-the-wire match in... two years? Jill doesn't have to do anything drastic like that if she keeps winning updates by more then 8 votes.

Woah, how is this match "HAW HAW STATS TOPIX LOL U"? Most of the people here took Peach to win this. And yeah, many also said that Peach wouldn't end up at DK level. Some said fodder, but I'm pretty sure the consensus was low 20's on BL, which is right where she is looking to land. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

Yeah, Mario supporters talk a confident game now. I saw nobody calling for a Mario blowout before the match. So true. There were literally no Mario supporters that were fully confident in him beating Samus as far as my memory goes back. There may have been, but you certainly weren't as vocal as you just started being in the last 15 minutes. Mario/Samus wasn't obvious, just stop. This match is nowhere in the LEAGUE of that match. Peach was the favorite and if she loses it's going to be by minimal amounts. Just stop, seriously. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

Yeah, Mario supporters talk a confident game now. I saw nobody calling for a Mario blowout before the match. Indeed. Ulti's prediction was, what, 53% for Mario? I will say that while filling out my bracket however, I spent more time deliberating on Samus/Ganondorf than Mario/Samus. Sure, that has to do with my constant G-dorf overestimation. But I never gave that match a second thought. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Well, not a blowout of the extent that actually happened, but I
couldn't honestly see Samus managing 45% before the match. Still, it's
nitpicking I guess. --- Jon Thomson - Z1mZum pwned me good and proper. |

Jill's liable to gain more and more the closer this match gets to the

it really is a tossup here. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
