Thanks for the offer Kaxon, but it's not necessary :) I'll see if the problem continues the next couple matches and if so, I guess I'll have to mess with things. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I would agree that Luigi has a better chance on Sonic than Yoshi does on Snake. Oh yeah? Well, you're wrong! How bout that? hah. But seriously, by dint of beating Luigi, and very arguably still being stronger than him, and by Snake < Sonic (probably), I'd say Yoshi as as much chance as Luigi does. Then again, since there is that (not going to happen but we can still mention it) chance he gets the Mario proxy thing, I suppose we can say Luigi has a better chance, even though Yoshi will, once again, rank higher than Luigi in the stats! --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

This will probably be mostly back and forth during the night, slightly
favouring Luigi, by virtue of both characters sucking (in Kirby's case
literally lol) with the night vote. Then Luigi will whip Kirby with the
morning. After school is anybody's guess, but Luigi will hopefully
build up a big enough lead such that it doesn't matter. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Beautiful update for Luigi. I'm expecting the match to go somewhat the
same the rest of the way, so I can feel somewhat confident in declaring
Luigi the winner, and I can't wait to see what the leaderboard looks
like after this match. Especially since I'll still be on it. --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko NEW YORK METS: 2006 NL EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPS |

Bowser wasn't overrated at all! Luigi > Sonic and all that! Really, though I'm hoping Bowser does well because it'll make Luigi and Leon look very good. And why does Crono always have to go against my favourites? I like the guy, but after matches with Mario, Bowser, Mega Man, Kefka, Magus, etc, I feel like I never actually vote for him. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

While Haste's and Leon's number-comparisons make me feel like Kirby's
still got an excellent shot, that poll-change will still put a damper
in how strong Kirby is for the rest of the day (not to mention PoP tore
ass with it against Kirby)...so, I don't know yet. Both are still more than capable of winning, but Luigi's got the edge right now. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Luigi should have a lead of 800-1200 by the time the morning hits...and
he should be able to double it during that, his absolute best, time.
The character that takes the night generally wins the sort of "during
school" vote, too, so Luigi is looking at ten and a half straight hours
to increase his lead before Kirby even has a shot to retaliate. Given
the Nintendo hour favoured Luigi it's not impossible for him to take
the after school vote, either, though I'd guess Kirby gets based on the
usual "he who wins the night loses the day" mantra. Still, by that time
it might not even matter. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

And Luigi is actually doing better now, percentage wise, then he was
earlier, though vote totals have dropped off so he's not actually
gaining as much. Interestingly, his last three 15 minute updates have
been wins of 55, 57, and 55, so at least he's consistent. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Whoa. I hadn't checked the poll in a while, but it seems like Luigi is
doing a really good job right now (lead of 558). Kirby has tried to
slow him down, but he hasn't lost an update in some time. He just needs
to keep that up! --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

And he seems to have boosted yet again. So what's the consensus if Luigi holds on to win? Kirby overperformed in 2005? Kirby dropped? Luigi = Bowser = Yoshi indirectly (which personally makes very little sense in my eyes, all things considered)? Seriously, as much as I love seeing Luigi win and FINALLY make the Sweet Sixteen, this match causes more questions than answers if he does win. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

I'm not sure we can draw too much from this match. I think we'll have a
better idea after tomorrow and then be crystal clear when Sonic goes up
against Luigi. As it is now, I'm not going to try to make much of this. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Ya know, I hear people saying how much the Nintendo boost did for
Luigi, and it did do quite a bit, but he was also underrated in the two
years previous to it. It's not all the boost, it's also in part due to
the fact that we never had a good read on him from the start. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

I've got no idea what to make of pre-2k5 Luigi. just pretend it never
happened, I guess. no way does Squall still beat him with 60%. I'd say that Luigi = Yoshi and that he's at Dante's level.. and that probably projects a 55-45 match with Sonic, which seems reasonable. --- xyzzy |

I can hardly speak for a "consensus" on Luigi, but there's been a
definite trend since 2004 towards the Mario series above all else. I
think that's just that trend continuing, and Luigi, being as low as he
was on the totem pole, had the biggest opportunity for advancement. I
wouldn't hesitate to pick him over Yoshi even after Yoshi's impressive
victory over Dante, and it doesn't look like he's all too far from
Bowser either. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

And...back. ;_; Kirby. I really don't see Luigi winning the afterschool vote. He lost it to Tifa, KOS-MOS, Zero...I don't see Kirby doing the same against said characters. Sure you can point to Kirby's match against PoP, but he was going up against a character I'd expect to be a Kratos during the day. Still, I don't see Kirby winning at this rate. I suppose my flaw was not realizing that Yoshi and Luigi were probably equal indirectly this year, and recognizing that Dante and Kirby must always be projected to have a very close match...hence, Luigi winning with about as much as Yoshi beat Dante should have been expected. =( Incidentally, if Luigi is constant from 2k5 and finishes with 51%, Kirby maintaining his proportion with Bowser means that the Koopa King was overrated by about 3.8% or so, putting him at Dante 2k5's level. That's before any Kirby rSFF on Bowser or Luigi boosting from his 2k5 level, etc. Going by that, we should expect about 59% for Crono tomorrow. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |
