I know this is a long time ago but Ryu almost got 43% on Solid Snake,

That was 2003, where he got 54% on Dante. In 2005 he got 55% on Rikku...I'm inclined to say those were different Ryus.

where both had horrible pictures (yes it is possible to make Ryu look bad)

You are not going to tell me Ryu's sprite is even in the same GALAXY as Snake's when it comes to fugliness.

And so that makes a 15 minute update that Ryu has taken against Mega Man...and one that he not only took, but took commandingly. He didn't get one against Bowser.

I know this won't happen, but Ryu only needs to gain 18 votes per update to win over Megaman :D

If Ryu actually was a beast with the day vote, he could have taken this.
Unfortunately he's the opposite. :(

It's not my fault that the character I want to win tends to get sudden boosts whenever I go online. -_-

What do you think after this match. Does Snake actually stands a chance against Megaman. I am praying that Megaman won't slaughter Snake in the sprite round.
---
After his match with Dante, Yoshi will do respectable against Snake
MyworldisSmurf | Posted 10/25/2006 1:40:46 AM | message detail
Snake with 55% over Mega Man.

Either that or he doubles Sora again.

Does Snake have a chance? Sure. I'm not sure there are many out there who don't think he has a chance.

(well, except for the sprite round, but people are scared of it...and it's hard to blame them)

Snake's weakness with sprites is overrated. sure there's something there, but it's not going to make him underperform by 10%.

CjayC would be stupid to make the round 4 a Sprite round. In fact, He better make it Sprites next round.

If anything, this is making Snake/Bowser seem more legit. Imagine that, something out of the Dream Division actually looking good!

I really hope the next round will be the sprite round. That's the only hope I have right now for Aeris to win over Zelda >_>

If Kirby/Bowser was the problem, Luigi better start shaking in his boots that much more.

I was waiting for this match to do my analysis crew writeup.. and now I'm even more confused. argh, that match makes no sense.

I'm just gonna write a few walls of text about why it makes no sense and predict one of them to win with 80%.

Zelda's ALttP sprite is actually very awesome. And he could use Zelda's OoT in-game "sprite" against Aeris. I wouldn't say there's any extra hope for Aeris by having sprites be in the next round.

And speaking about looking great, Ryu won another update!

Nice to see that he's back in the place he used to be before Bowser VS Ryu

And Ryu wins another update...barring an utter collapse in the day (very possible) or Mega Man totally bombing later on (not betting on it), Ryu has definitely atoned for 2005.

I'm fairly certain Zelda gets her votes from OOT and beyond. Zelda from 1 and LTTP is nothing more than Peach. if people are voting based on pictures, Aeris wins that hands down. I don't know how you could argue that a Zelda sprite from the old games could compete with an Aeris sprite.
---
xyzzy
MyWorldIsZelda | Posted 10/25/2006 1:54:59 AM | message detail
Yeah. I wouldn't really trust CJayC to bother searching out for Zelda's polygonal model from Ocarina of Time. It seems like it would be much better suited with the picture though. Use Aeris's battle model and some post-N64 model of Zelda to make the picture mesh together better. Using SSBM would be awesome.


And for whatever it's worth, there's supposed to be a huge blowout of new TP information right before that match takes place (impressions of the final version of the game, new screenshots, video, etc.) !!

Mega Man has a strength of 42.91 against Base Link.
Ryu has a strength of 29.98 against Base Link.

Mega Man 65.07% 58,020
Ryu 34.93% 31,150
TOTAL VOTES 89,170

Mega Man wins with 65.07% of the vote!


Megaman's strongest year Against Ryu's weakest,still not a blowout

Zelda is nothing more than Peach, ultimately. She just has the luxury of being named Zelda.

If the series isn't called LoZ, she's a midcarder at best.

MyWorldIsZelda | Posted 10/25/2006 1:56:56 AM | message detail
I know Zelda gets my votes from OoT and on...but that doesn't mean that her ALttP sprite is bad looking. The only way I would say that Zelda gets vastly out done in the picture is if CJayC did something stupid like using 8-bit Zelda. ALttP Zelda, while not the reason that people vote for Zelda, is a nice representation of her.

LttP Zelda is fine. People don't care about her, but they'll recognize her -- that's more I can say for Snake's sprite.

Zelda and Peach have taken up two pretty different roles in their games. She hasn't been limited to solely a damsel-in-distress role, especially in the most popular Zelda game. It helps that she's named after the series, but she's done a lot more to be liked over Peach. Peach is well-known and not really dislikable. I like to think Zelda is both well-known and pretty likable in some of the Zelda games, OoT in particular.

Peach has reason to be liked in SMB2, SMRPG, even her own game SPP...sure, it's not much, but neither is Zelda, really.

I think Ryu will most probably win the kiddy votes.

Buddy, you have no idea how wrong you are.

And oh my goodness, Ryu is just going crazy here. He's won more updates than he did against Bowser by plenty now, and by much more.

eh, Zelda at least has a role in later Zelda games. she has a personality, at least in the speed run I saw of OOT and in Wind Waker. Peach is nothing more than a goal in the big Mario games.

If by 'kiddies' you mean the demographic that tends to vote in the morning and afterschool voting blocs, Ryu and Street Fighter perform horribly there, particularly in the former.

Ryu has won a total of eight updates and had one 50/50 update with MM earlier. Damn impressive.

2:00 -- 59.70%
3:00 -- 58.81%
4:00 -- 57.95%
5:00 -- 57.28%

...Yeah.

(Make that nine total updates and one 50/50. <<)
