Ugh. *kills GameFAQs' voters...again*

OK, Chunners has this, but Lara will be shaving off percentage a lot. I expect her to break 42.5%.

*yawn*

so much for sleeping.... btw guys - Lara Croft is totally coming back now. well, she's at least stalling Chun Li. Lara's shaved off 20 votes in the past 10 minutes. honestly, though, who seriously didn't expect Chun Li to give up the day vote? it is Street Fighter 2 after all. the only question is whether Lara will actualy make this match interesting or just stall Chun Li for the rest of the day.

She is. Chun Li's vote lead has never been as big as it is right now, and Chun Li's lead is too big already anyway.

Looks like this might end up within 55-45 after all. X-Stats win again!

Reading through this topic, it's nice to see Lara getting some credit. And Lara is actually on the verge of hitting 42.5% here, yay. I always said that was her floor - she'll probably far exceed that, even possibly hitting 45%.

So where are all the people that care about Legends now? Did the 7 fans realize that Lara is still weak?

a) It's "Legend". At least get it right if you're going to brag.

b) Could you not act like an ass? As far as I can see, Lara is far exceeding your crew pick right now.

But still, people were calling for an upset here.

...WHY?


Things could have come together to give Lara a win. It was definitely feasible. Chun being overrated, Legend, pic advantage, some sort of random fluctuation, seeding and bracket advantage... Lara had a lot going for her. I always said that if Lara would ever win this match, it would all have to come together perfectly.


People were saying "Legend will do very little for Lara".

...right. A potential 45% disagrees with you.

Hopefully Lara will end at around 45%...in which case she would have a decent shot at beating (Lettuce?) Kefka. That would be nice.

Lara's iconic, even today. And she's certainly no more over the hill than the likes of Mario. She deserves better than being a lower midcarder.

Only at GameFAQs. Only at GameFAQs, my friends.

In the rest of the world, Lara is the most popular female VG character whether you like it or not. If her next game (There better be one, with the cliffhanger ending of Legend.) is as good, or even better (Better replay value kthxbai) than Legend she could very well gain a couple more percentages of strength.

Ha, I'd forgotten exactly how pathetic SF was in the morning. I'd expect Lara to be good with it, but she's shaved off over 4% and is still going.

Random statistic - it took Chun-Li six hours and twenty minutes to increase her lead from 5600 to 6600.

Heh...I have no idea when the latest pics came up, but Mega Man looks hilarious.

I didn't say anything yesterday...wow. I figure Yuna would've matched Mario's score if the match was done the -previous- year. It makes me wonder if Mario still gets a good amount of anti-votes. For today...I guess not a real surprise. It's hard to make any judgments about Chun Li's strength (i.e. was Bowser over-rated?). Bowser/Crono will be the best one to get a better idea on that, though it's too bad it happens so late in the round. (I won't trust Mega Man/Ryu, unless Mega Man easily exceeds the SC2K5 x-stat projections)

Snake/Squall is awesome. Snake's old pic may hurt some though, but I doubt it'll make the difference here.

I actually like Dante's pic, and would certainly vote him over Yoshi if I had to base my vote on the pic.
