The bracket vote would favor Chun-Li over Lara. << Overall I would think Lara has more bracket support. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

I think it'll be safe to say Lara will end up above her 2k4 value though, which is nice. ...we still need to never see her again. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

The bracket vote would favor Chun-Li over Lara. << ...On the board, maybe. Overall, I'd expect Lara to be the favorite. Only 73.87% had Chun-Li beating Kasumi, for goodness sake. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. October 22 - Internal war rages between the Squallid and the Snake |

The bracket vote would favor Chun-Li over Lara. << Lara's the bracket favorite for sure. Hell, Chun didn't even get 75% of the brackets against Kasumi, and Lara's like, 10 times more mainstream! --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

Only 60%? Chunners, you disappoint me Coming from somebody who hailed this as a potential Magus/Knuckles, you need to shut up. You called Jill "disappointing" for going even with Peach even though you had Peach with 53-54% there. In other words, just shut up. --- Some stories can't be told by words.

Emphasis on potential. Chun-Li getting only 60% at the first freeze tells me this is going to end well under 60. Or have you forgotten Board 8's burning hatred for mainstream stuff?

Emphasis on potential. And Chun-Li is ruining all potential of that, so just shut up about saying this is disappointing.

Yeah, that Link always does horribly with the board vote! Not much of a percentage change.

Brackets? The board ALWAYS bracket votes. In that sense, since 99% of people here have Chun-Li and the fact that Chun-Li actually went up after the board vote is a bit telling. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Not much of a percentage change. And given how small my faith in
Lara's day vote is given how little she gained against Alyx Vance in
the day, I'm not holding my breath for any massive percentage shifts. Well, Gordon had a pretty good shift against Phoenix, so it's not as though HL2 is horrible with the day vote. Still, Chun Li should do some very nice gaining with the night vote, and almost certainly end above where she's at now. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot.

Unless Lara has a monster day vote, Chun will likely grab like 2%
during the night, lose it in the morning, and then cruise to about
where she is now. Would've liked to see her dominate, but this is good
enough I suppose... --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: Currently giving Croft a Kikoken to the face! *Currently playing Tales of the Abyss* |

Yeah, I don't expect Lara to do much with the day. I do
expect Street Fighter to fold a bit in the morning, so this probably
won't end up above 60%, but I wouldn't count on it being closer to 55%. GOD I HATE THIS MATCH --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Yoshi/Dante has been a pain for me ever since this bracket was
released. It was the only match I made a change on, and if Dante
doesn't win I'm eliminated from the Guru contest. But I've never even played DMC3, and Yoshi is one of my favorite characters.

I have Yoshi in my bracket, but honestly I hope Dante beats the
ever-loving piss out of him. Yoshi doesn't deserve to win crap here. He
didn't deserve to beat Riku, much less Luigi. And I'd be shocked if Dante didn't win at this point. Yoshi will need a second Nintendo boost in my mind to win there. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Meh, why does it matter what causes SF to have a bad day vote? All that matters is that it does. Chun-Li gained percentage against Bowser until around...7:20 A.M. EST, and dropped until 2:40 P.M. EST, where she proceeded to gain until the end of the match. Chun-Li slowly dropped after the board vote against Kasumi until pretty much the end of the match except for a brief surge in the 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. EST range. --- Some stories can't be told by words.
