I can see Yoshi having decent support. Certainly not as bad as Chun-Li's Only 58% even had Yoshi getting to round 2. If the people who had Yoshi in round 2 are split, as I expect, I'd imagine Yoshi has 30% bracket support. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

rate. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

If Dante starts making any moves, it will be after 1 am. Nintendo characters have been dominant with the first hour all contest. It's the only time Ganny had the lead over Vincent.

Awesome! As we can see, this match proves the Nintendo boost! And since
Vincent was able to beat Ganon, despite the Nintendo boost, so
decisively... Sonic is so screwed. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Like I said, you don't even need to look at past trends to see that Yoshi will likely crush Sparda with the day vote. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Nintendo characters have been dominant with the first hour all contest. It's the only time Ganny had the lead over Vincent. If Yoshi keeps extending his lead throughout the hour in a pretty dominating fashion, it won't matter much afterward. This'll turn into Luigi/Zero if he makes pretty solid gains until the hour is up. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule.

Bowser/Leon seems to suggest that there is no real Nintendo boost. No
****ing way Leon gains that much from RE4 PS2. I don't care what anyone
says. This is just Dante choking against Nintendo because hes not
Square. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

err, Vincent? you know, the guy who did just fine against Ganondorf? They went about even with it before. Vincent wasn't exactly impressive with it last year either. It's a point that he may have benefited from DoC, but eh... Still, he's hardly great with the day vote and Ganon isn't great with it either. He did good with the morning vote, but that was about it. People were anticipating the morning vote saving Ganon more than anything since the Zelda series has a pretty damn dominative morning vote. But people should definitely expect Yoshi to take it. Nothing points to Dante getting at the very least. And Yoshi out to 272! --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

From Blade Of Evils Bane Posted 10/23/2006 12:15:45 AM Bowser/Leon seems to suggest that there is no real Nintendo boost. No ****ing way Leon gains that much from RE4 PS2. I don't care what anyone says. This is just Dante choking against Nintendo because hes not Square. Add in a touch of Bowser overratedness in both contests last year and Leon's boost makes perfect sense. Hell, if you want, adjust Leon up for Capcom SFF, making Phoenix Wright above the fodder line <_< TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest.

I wouldn't be so sure that this is a second Nintendo Boost yet. We really have no idea where Yoshi stood last year. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

The only Nintendo characters that have looked truly impressive are
Yoshi and Luigi. Zelda has beaten up fodder but even if all three of
those boosted, characters like Bowser and Peach haven't been that
impressive. It's likely that only a few Nintendo characters boosted and
Ganondorf might not be one of them. --- Demyx > Axel Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills! |
