Snake > Mega Man is a lock at this stage. It's so freaking obvious, that match isn't even going to be close.

*Looks at Poll Updater*

YES, freakin' awesome! Ryu climbs to 43% & actually wins a few updates. And it looks like he's trying to resist the morning vote (though it may not kick in for another hour or two?) And scanning the past matches, Mega Man doesn't appear to be all that great with the day vote, so I doubt he'll be pulling a Kratos, so he may actually finish this abpve 40% AWESOME!

Oh, & I'm tottaly convinced now that Chun will get to enjoy a small lead over Yuna in the early hours, even if it's just for one update! :P

I am loving this match right now. Seeing Ryu actually outright win updates against Mega Man was awesome, and he's actually...not collapsing with the morning vote. Then seeing what Mega Man did against Axel last round, I feel confident that Ryu can stay above 40%.

The streak lives on! And Ryu baffles everyone by having his worst loss against a non-Noble Niner!

Welcome back, Mr. Consistency! We missed you!

Note that 2004 Ryu gets 41.45% on 2005 Mega Man, so I think he can at least hold that much.

Oh, and while this match doesn't look good for Bowser, I always believed that Bowser overperformed on Ryu, but Bowser overperforming on Bowser cancelled it out. So in my mind it's not as pathetic as it looks. Still, not looking good at all.

Even though Ryu is redeeming himself from his 2005 performance, I said that I wouldn't discount Mega Man if he couldn't outdo Bowser. I felt it was an overperformance from the beginning.

Starion | Posted 10/25/2006 6:30:18 AM | message detail
That would be great for my bracket but I probably won't leapfrog over a lot of people (Snake is popular with the casuals). The Battle Royale would probably be a bigger factor since a mistake there guarantees at least a 16 pt loss.

Maybe that will change but Mega's gains are a bit inconsistent. Very rare 60% updates for the blue bomber though so Ryu will probably end this match above 40%. Disappointing for Mega.

Too bad MM's stuck with Sora before Snake.

I hope next year he's against Bowser or Vincent or the Dorf because he might actually lose to one of them.

I still can't believe MM's the new Snake. Well, I guess I am since I'm calling it before Snake/Mega Man happens, but it's still surprising how laughable MM is compared to the MM that twice beat Snake and at his greatest point held close to Sephiroth (lol 2002).

Am I missing something, or are some people overlooking the SFF in this match. I would imagine that Ryu is stealing votes from MM for this very reason, making this match a poor comparison of MM's strength. Feel free to let me know if I'm missing something here.

Hahaha, Ryu is making Mega Man look like a chump. If he can somehow make this a 55-44 match, I'll be a happy man. Even better if Sonic actually decimates Vincent.

Let's be fair
If Snake underperformed on Bowser because it was sprite round,so does Megaman.
Sure,Snake picture was worse than Megaman's,but let's be fair

Why?

So Snake doesn't get burdened with Solid **** when he's up against Mega Man. He may have lost before, but after the first two rounds, there's no way anyone can think he doesn't have a shot at the match. The last thing he needs is his most awful picture.

HaRRicH | Posted 10/25/2006 7:40:50 AM | message detail
Right now not only is Mega Man very noticably behind Bowser's performance on Ryu last year (who Solid beat soon after), but Mega Man is currently also behind what Solid himself got on Ryu in 2k3 (and Solid's grown in strength since then). Though Axel is KH, I would still think 81% on Soma is better than 70% on Axel -- 58% on Squall is also much better than (probably) 59% on Ryu, to boot. Solid will also look more like gold when Sora does much better against Mega Man than he did against Solid last year, over-performance or not (and it'll be interesting to see how Solid does against Yoshi, too). Solid has major bracket-support in the male half of the bracket if the pre-contest poll means anything, more than any other one-seed OR anybody that's a two-seed or lower (which includes Mega Man). This is also the first time since 2k3 that Mega Man has been a two-seed, and we'll throw in that Zero failed both seeding and statistical expections while Roll bombed (as expected). Even if the Elite Eight is the sprite-round, despite Mega Man beating Solid Snake twice, I no longer feel good or safe with Mega Man. Solid's got a very very real chance to pull the board upset...and if he can do that much, then he's got a good chance at taking the male half completely.

I hate when I agree with Smurf because it always makes me feel extreme, ignorant, and annoying...no matter how smart and reasonable I try to be, just the fact he is the way he is makes it hard to argue anymore.

YoAriel33 | Posted 10/25/2006 7:49:10 AM | message detail
58% on Squall is also much better than (probably) 59% on Ryu

At this point, I'd say that even that is a bit ambitious for the Blue Bomber. The morning vote usually gives us a taste of what the after school vote will bring, and Mega Man only managed to bring Ryu down about a tenth of a percent with it. I'd say 58% is much more likely at this point, and that's only a fraction of a percent better than what Snake did against Squall. This will have the board buzzing for sure.
