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. Snake>Megaman is fine,but Smurf thinks even Sora can take down Megaman >_> (pre KHII Sora can't beat 2005 Ryu,stats wise.) --- laff |

Great match or GREATEST match? More like THE greatest match ever. Snake will jump with a 3000 vote lead then Sonic will come out of nowhere with the morning/day vote and take the lead then Snake will use the last two hours trying to catch up to Sonic making this a Peach/Jill except with characters we care about 100x more. --- "I was trying to escape.

This is like...the best I've ever seen Street Fighter in the morning
hours. Only dropping as low as .16% below his peak since the 6:35 mark.

I don't think this match tells us anything. 3 other characters of the
noble nine have faced Ryu and Bowser did better than all of them.
Snake's match against Squall tells us nothng either. But anyone who
considered Snake > Megaman a lock, needs to be reminded that Megaman
has already won over him, twice. Anything can happen. So lets focus about the great news that Ryu is back in the near elite tier. :D --- Supporter of Ryu. |

Mega Man beat Snake twice two years ago. When there were far less
votes. I said it before earlier, but the fact that these matches garner
almost twice as many votes as those matches years ago works in the
favor of Snake far more than it does Mega Man. Snake winning isn't a
lock anymore, but I'd go as far to say that at this point in time,
Snake is the favorite. --- CB5 Points: 45/48, Current Oracle placement: 27/165 Now playing: Okami |

Megaman isn't doing bad in the morning hours, when you consider that he
went from losing .10% every 10 minutes to, well, not losing any
>_> It's easier for someone to go up with the morning vote when the % has already stablized. But that % was far from stabilizing. Still, I could definitely have gone for more... --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

>_> It kinda is when he should be getting consistent 60+% in the morning and facing an SF related opponent. Unless people actually expected him to be weaker pre-contest? As for Zelda-Aeris, why isn't it a lock? Zelda should win that match with ease. --- Now playing: New SMB | Queue: Okami | Waiting for: SMT:Devil Summoner, FF12, Castlevania:POR |

My goodness, Ryu is holding up like a stud here. He could be
comfortably over 43% by the time the after school vote gets here, and
judging by the extremely stable morning vote, I'm not very confident in
Mega Man's ability to make strides with it. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Hoping for 60%+ updates in the morning when he was barely getting 50%
updates in the night is a little overambitious. I mean, a shift of 10%
with voting patterns would have to be some kind of record. Ryu sucks,
but I wouldn't expect that unless he was actually going up against
someone with a good morning vote. I think Megaman is generally pegged
as average --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Until Snake triples Yoshi, I'm not saying he's a lock over Mega Man. I
forgot who said this but you just don't base a prediction of a
character's performance on his opponent's weakness. Not that Snake
didn't impress against Soma and Squall. Still, I think Mega Man will
beat Snake but it will be close. --- still waiting, still wailing |

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). Heh, I didn't notice that Snake and Mega Man will face the other's Sweet Sixteen opponent from last year. Good find. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

And I'm not convinced Mega Man will make large strides with the after
school vote. He looked just as bad or worse as Ryu did with it against
Axel. Besides, Ryu's faulty point is the morning point, and...he just
won an update 45 minutes ago. ...Wow. As I mentioned before, I'm not sure whether I should be more impressed with Ryu or more disappointed in Mega Man. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

Ryu did considerably worse against Kratos after school than he did in
the morning. Ryu was getting about 64% in the night(though there was
one hour in the night where he only got about 60%. And it happened in
between his 64% hours. I have no idea what the hell happened there),
then he was only getting about 57-58% in the morning, and finally, he
only got about 52-53% after school let out. Interestingly, where most people see a short morning vote and then start reverting back to night-time matches, Kratos continues the 57-58% "morning vote" change all the way until school let out. It seems like that may happen here for Megaman against Ryu as well since Ryu hasn't started to make anymore progress and it's already past noon. I guess it's just something to do with Ryu. And he's lucky too, since going up to about 57% of the vote isn't that impressive to begin with. If he fell off again it would be bad news >_> --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Well, Kratos is expected to be more of an after school monster anyway. In general, the morning vote is where SF struggles. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

Mega Man is looking about as good to beat Snake right now as Crono was
to beat Mario after round 3 in 2k5. MM can certainly win, yes, but he's
not the favorite anymore. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Assume Snake and Mega Man get relatively the same percentage on Yoshi
and Sora, respectively (within a percent of each other). Who do you
favor, and by how much? --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

I forgot who said this but you just don't base a prediction of a character's performance on his opponent's weakness. You do, actually. 'Weakness' is only a relative term. Resident Evil may look weak when it is up against Final Fantasy, but when it is up against Shadow Hearts it will look strong. An opponent's strength, or weakness, is just as important as your own in deciding the outcome of any battle. Assume Snake and Mega Man get relatively the same percentage on Yoshi and Sora, respectively (within a percent of each other). Who do you favor, and by how much? Since I wouldn't expect anything fishy in either of those matches (unless it's sprite round), you're basically asking what Sora would get on Yoshi, no? MM wins 53%ish. --- CB: 50/54.

Good grief I'm sure this has been beaten into the ground (I'll go back
and read some) but I log on click on results and am like HOLY CRAP.
Yeah I went to bed early but it was still 61/39 then and although I
figured Ryu would bring it down what happened to the horrible SF
morning vote? And also I am GLAD Ryu has returned to form, that Bowser
match was very disappointing last year. Bowser really made for some
crazy results last year, I still don't know what this means for Kirby. --- Should I start running now? |

Assume Snake and Mega Man get relatively the same percentage on
Yoshi and Sora, respectively (within a percent of each other). Who do
you favor, and by how much? Snake. I'd take Yoshi with ~52% over Sora. Also, people assuming this match automatically means Ryu has "returned to form" are irritating. He's had reason to be overrated for the last four years. I doubt he'd suddenly become a beast in 2k6 for no reason at all. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot.

Hmm...last year, MM knocked .15% off of Crono

day. I'm starting to think that Ryu might be able to stay above 43%, or
at least 42%. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Well you can say Ryu is overrated all you want. But the fact is no one
has ever put up 60% on him and he hasn't faced the crap competition
that let Gordon stay in that category for so long. Sure Mega isn't
looking good but to say this doesn't mean anything good for Ryu is
ridiculous. And heck I guess it breathes at least a little life into

And heck I guess it breathes at least a little life into Yuna/Chun Li where I assumed Chun was all but dead. ...You must've forgot Yuna's two dominative performances and Chun-Li's, uh, 55/45 with Lara Croft. That doesn't breathe any sort of life into that match, not that I know why people thought that match ever had a shot at being something interesting. And while Ryu does look good here, I'm almost convinced this is far more of Mega Man disappointing than anything else. Not being able to get 70% on Axel and now only managing to lead by some 8000 votes against Ryu is far from impressive.
