Ick, if Crono is pushing 56% during the dreaded board vote (when last I checked), this could get ugly for Bowser...

Bowser looked good there...for about 30 seconds. Crono is making this look ugly at a time when Nintendo is supposed to be awesome.

If Bowser is still getting the board vote, that would mean crono will push well over 60%.

I don't see it happening...

Well...

Looks like Bowser did overperform on Snake...who would have thought!

And it doesn't get much better from here either. Bowser will edge out the morning vote, but Crono should increase nicely over night. It will be sick if Crono pushes 60%.

Jeez. Bowser went from winning the board vote to being on the ass end of 60-40.

I missed yesterday's match and am still in the top 250? That's absurd.

MegatokyoEd | Posted 10/27/2006 9:05:54 PM | message detail
This is really making the Dream Division completely fall into place. If Zero did drop, then Luigi could be near his 2k5 value and still beat Kirby. It seems Bowser most likely did overperform on Solid's sprite by the insane amount everyone else seems to do.

This also means that Luigi is going to get crushed by Sonic. It also makes Tidus look even worse.

Wow, Crono with 58.45% at the freeze is incredible. I didn't think Bowser would be overrated by THAT much...Well, so much for the inevitable drop in strength for Crono. If he can keep this up, I see him as a legitimate threat to Samus, overrated Bowser or not.

Wow, you guys really are taking the first five minutes really damned seriously. Let's wait for the percentage to at least stabalize before we start looking too deeply at this.

Bowser would be right around Luigi 2k5 if Crono ends up around 60%. You give Leon about a 1% boost or so, and it predicts Bowser/Leon perfectly.

Hot damn was Bowser overrated bad.

All things considered, Crono couldn't have asked for a better start, and I won't be surprised if he goes up in percentage again here.

personally, i think Bowser will pull this back a little in the next hour. i don't see Crono finishing over 60%. he's not gonna do as well as Sephiroth did.

We take it seriously because Nintendo has seriously owned the piss out of it every single time we've seen it. If anything I expect Crono to JUMP in the next update (a la Mario/Crono IV).

But I guess we'll see by the time I post this!

A 60.25% update for Crono that time.

WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO RYU?! That's the ONLY thing about the Dream Division being overrated that didn't make sense last year, and it doesn't line up this year. Going by this, Bowser and Ryu should be relative equals.

mario went from losing by 3-4% to winning by that much

perhaps crono reversed the situation again this year
