Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't even work on this computer anymore. Thanks, Firefox 2.0!!!

I've yet to hear a good thing about 2.0. I'm holding off.

I'm one of the few that thinks CT could win a rematch. I don't think games would follow the same boost logic as characters or series.

Firefox 2.0 takes up approximately 20% as much RAM as 1.5.0.7 did. I'm loving it so far.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Games are much, much different from characters.

Not like we didn't know that already!

numbers!

if Ganon and Auron are constant, Sub-Zero is projected to be at about 27% right now. now, Auron has probably gained at least a little bit thanks to KH2, so I'd put that as his floor. Sub could very well be at 28-29% when this contest is over, which is pretty awesome if only to spite Heroic Mario.

haw haw?

Next year Spring contest should be a rematch contest and not a tournament.
User can vote on the rematch they want to witness again.

The rematch i want to see
CT vs Lttp
Kh serie vs Castlevania Serie
FF serie vs Zelda Serie
Knuckle vs Magus
Ryu vs Bowser

SSBM.

Blame it on Armageddon if you wish! It's not like he won't have another new Mortal Kombat game helping him out in a year or so anyway!

It won't matter if he's up against Link, and then fails to break 25%!

You hear that, CJayC? Make it happen next year. If there must be a reason -- FOR GREAT JUSTICE !!

transience | Posted 10/28/2006 11:39:05 PM | message detail
heh, no one wants to give Sub credit, even when he beats a heavy favourite and is holding a near-elite under 60%. I believe Armageddon helps, but it's not pushing him up 5% or anything. Sub-Zero is legit and it's nice to see a newcomer with actual strength instead of hoping they'll breach the fodder line.

I like watching newcomers that are unexpectedly strong. Yeah, we all pushed for Leon and Tifa last year, but we all knew they'd be strong. Barely anyone expected much out of Sub-Zero.

I must do it with the anti-Aitch Emm sentiment in this topic right now! I must do something to counteract what I'm seeing in the polls...and for a longer period of time than usual! =(

YoAriel33 | Posted 10/28/2006 11:42:55 PM | message detail
I think the two premier fighting characters (Ryu and Sub-Zero) draw more of a "nostalgia vote" than any other entrants. Even though I wouldn't consider him one of my favorite characters, I find it very difficult to vote against Ryu (I think I've only done so once). The memories of Street Fighter II with friends and family are just too damn warm and fuzzy.

I didn't think a whole lot of Kennedy either. I always thought he overperformed on Mega Man until he did even better on Bowser.

I've never voted against Ryu, but I openly claim him in my top 10 favorite characters.

I wouldn't have a problem using the SF2 nostalgia vote on, say, Ken Masters...but I was never a big Ryu person.

I actually pegged Leon to be at around 2004 Tidus level pre-contest. After seeing what he did against Gordon Freeman, I thought I was way off. Needless to say, I was happy to see his performance against Mega Man.
