Well, seeing as how Lara apparently beat Solid Snake and Soma Cruz
combined last round, I'd say Chun-Li's victory here is pretty
surprising! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I'm not even going to bother responding to Ulti...I don't know where
his hate for Lara came from, but it sure is annoying. Lina and I are
probably Lara's most vocal supporters on the board, and even we
admitted that Lara would have to pull everything off perfectly to win. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 44/46 Today: Chun (euw) |

Seeing as you've been hounding me all day for saying Lara had an
outside chance of upsetting Chun-Li, it would only be right to make fun
of someone who's said "Squall is winning it". TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

And let me be the first to say that should Snake beat Squall decisively, I will be the first to point at Leon and laugh. ...Why? Just because he wants Squall to win and thinks there's a very good possibility that he will doesn't mean you should laugh at him. I'm pretty sure he not only has Snake in his bracket, but also would consider him a definite favorite in the match. He's just been arguing with people who aren't giving Squall any chance. He certainly has one, but we'll have to see if he takes advantage of it. --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

I hounded you for all of 5 minutes last night before you brought it back up just a little while ago. And I say Squall will win because he's my favorite character.

Grrr, every new game I play, I don't even like the little girls
anymore! I'm playing Tales of the Abyss (the best game ever) right now,
and the little girl is like, my 5th favorite playable charcter out of 6. But old men? They're so lame! At least little girls don't need to use walking sticks while they fight! --- caps |

Squall does have a chance. It'd be foolish to say he has none. I just don't think it's a very good one. --- Character Battle V Score - 41/46 points Current Prediction - Chun-Li vs. Lara Croft |

As long as Snake doesn't pull some weird overperformance (something
I've always said is possible), Squall's chances are better than "not
very good." --- 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 |

that if Snake wins easily, I will do to Leon what he did to me, when
he's saying that his upset is a certain thing. I don't think he's EVER said that. And really Turtle, you live in a glass house that has been halfway shattered by now. Are we so quick to forget Boss/Celes, Luigi/Zero, MC/Sub-Zero, etc...? Me? I expect to get laughed at by tons of people if Squall wins (or even gets within 49%, honestly). Or not...I don't know if I'm overt enough with my fanboyism to make me as synonmous with MGS as futuresuperstar.

How does everyone think Snake/Dante will go? I'd expect those two to
have a fairly large overlap (bigger than Snake/Squall or Snake/Sora),
and there should be a bigger gap between Snake and Dante than between
Snake and Squall. I could certainly see some sort of bad SFF in that
match. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |
