Today's Match: Yoshi Vs. Dante

It's really weird how the first 45 minutes or so of every match seems to have a consistently more "hardcore gamer" vote demographic going for it. Or at least a very different one.

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!

Yeah. I wouldn't really call it "hardcore," but it's definitely a different demograph.

Yeah, I'm not feeling a contest classic out of this one. Yoshi is still doing reasonably well here, and he'll only do better during the day. Dante should do very well and make this reasonably close...but that's probably about it.

Although I guess there's always Jill to think about...

Jill has become arguably the biggest contest legend ever. Two 27 vote losses, in two matches that basically went the exact same way.

This match picture probably crossed that fine line in terms of giving one character a clear advantage...but eh, I didn't think Yoshi would even be close and I doubt it'll end up close enough to make anyone suspect it.

No I mean like Yoshis all happy with his fist in the air and Dante looks extremely pissed off and moody and in desperate need of a cutting session.

This result is very surprising to me, though it proves that Yoshi was indeed buried behind SFF in the stats every year.

Character Battle V Score - 45/50 points
Current Prediction - Yoshi vs. Dante
Kyle Bowen | Posted 10/22/2006 10:34:25 PM | message detail
Then again, vincent and dante both performed impressively last round, and squall sff'd the hell out of tidus to the point where we had no read on him.

As horrible as this seems for Squall... He did turn around 16% points in a rematch with an opponent from 4 years ago.

Squall has gotten stronger over the years, yes it was obvious but as a fan I have to find something to stay positive about.

He also destroyed Tidus... given most of it was SFF... he still did it... which gives him strength within his companies characters... which is more than say... Samus has.

Squall is a character on the cusp... every year... doing a little more than we expect... but not enough to impress on a grand scale... coming so close to Vincent and getting one update win on Snake are not morale victories to hang your hat on... they piss you off even more... tempting you and teasing you with the possibility... Blame the bracket, blame PS SFF, blame not enough nominations... but it sucks as a fan to see him so close to doing something really impressive... and failing.

This result puts a damper on the tournament for me, I expected more.

I dont want to speculate about SFF with Snake... good luck finding the right spot for him in the rankings at the end guys...

Based on his two numbers... he is as strong as Link in one match and as a weak as Knuckles in the other... Your work is cut out for you... and wherever he ends up... you are going to be criticized... so make your chance. ^_~

My heart is out of this tournament...

This is pretty much over. Dante's failing to do much now and Yoshi's going to explode when the after school vote hits.

Fix'd

There won't be much difference between whatever Dante gets at 3 am, and what Dante will be getting during school hours. Aside from the morning vote spike for Yoshi.

Even if Yoshi was behind SFF every year, going by Laharl/Pac-Man/Conker puts him under Dante last year, and Dante's directly done better on Ryo before than Yoshi too. Dante last year beats any value you give Yoshi unless you base him off of Luigi or maybe Bowser.

This is either Yoshi gaining and Riku surging or Dante dropping...and Dante dropping would simply be the damdedest thing unless the Devil Division was over-rated afterall.

Karma Hunter | Posted 10/22/2006 10:38:02 PM | message detail
Hmm...using Dante 2k5, Luigi 2k5, and adjusting Yoshi based on his match with Luigi in 2004, Yoshi is projected to win this match with 52.43% of the vote.

The thing is...that projects him to beat Zelda, and I'm not quite ready to accept a result like that. Of course, he will have a common opponent next round...

Obviously dante will keep doing this until the end of the match, resulting in a tie !!!

Just to make sure, but Dante IS better with the day-vote than Jill, right? I know we can't say whether or not Yoshi's day-vote is better than Peach's officially, but as long as Dante has shwon he has at least a better day-vote than that, I'll be content for now.

I need this win to both survive in the Guru contest and to have a chance to make the Top Fifty. Claire/Kairi kept me from making it early, MC/Sub chopped me down when I was gettin' so close, and now I do NOT need this **** to knock me down as well, especially with Kirby/Luigi lingering too.

we all expected POP to roll over to Kirby's beastly day vote and it didn't happen. some people expected Bowser to take it to Leon during the day and that didn't happen either. Dante's probably not a beast, but neither is Yoshi. now that the early vote is over, Dante is looking to do better and better as the night goes on. when it hits daytime, it's anyone's game - probably Yoshi, but I wouldn't say it's a sure thing since he's never dominated anybody of note in the daytime.
