go Manning!! whooo!!! as of the 30 minute mark in his match against Bowser, Crono was near 60% and climbing. against Auron here, he's at 59.58%. i'm thinking that KH2 is gonna give Auron as much of a day vote boost as Bowser did, so i'm predicting that Auron will indeed finish with a little better than Bowser. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.

Out of the top 25 votals ever, I only spot three matches that came
outside of 2006... I knew this year had the best overall vote total
we've ever seen, but I didn't know it had claimed so many spots in the
top votals... wow. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

Gordon Freeman wins a match? Someone gets above 60% on Freeman? Vincent
> Megaman? Sonic is in one of the most popular polls of all time?
Crono is almost under 60% during the night vote? What the hell is going on!? Will the universe implode? --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

hmm.. I thought Auron doing as well as 2k5 Vincent was a possibility
and it looks like he'll end up around there. Auron doesn't have a
beastly day vote, but any
day vote should do all right against Crono. it looks like Auron >
Bowser will be confirmed, though not by a significant amount. Sub-Zero
is going to look kickass when the numbers come, I love it. and we'll
have a great read on Master Chief as well. --- xyzzy |

From transience Auron doesn't have a beastly day vote, but any day vote should do all right against Crono. Ah, but this is Kingdom Hearts 2 Auron we're talking about. Did you miss Kairi and Sora's matches or something? ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

Right, but considering his main fanbase is most constant or
night-oriented, his KH2-pull will only help a lil' more for his
day-time vote. You don't see Squall with a killer day-vote or anything,
and he has been in every KH game... ...but this is Crono, so Auron should still look pretty good with it, even if it is a same-fanbase match. --- Diddy did it. Diddy did it. DAMMIT! What didn't Diddy do?! |

I don't think Auron will outright destroy Crono in the day, but I could
see him going 50/50 during the afterschool vote no problem. FFX has
always had a sweet overnight vote though so this is just Auron doing
well during his best time - even better than Crono's best time. if Crono beats Sonic, it'll be strange to see him at or above Ganondorf. --- xyzzy |

Despite me vastly preferring Snake to MM, I hope MM smacks Snake down.
I don't think MM has lost a step, after Riku/Yoshi, no one should have
been expecting MM to come close to hitting 60% on Sora. I do however,
think Snake is slightly stronger than last year, that, or the DD is
overrated. It's 50/50 to me, but I could also see MM winning easier
than Snake. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

...but this is Crono, so Auron should still look pretty good with it, even if it is a same-fanbase match. oh, now come on. this match has as much SFF as Tifa vs. Vyse. even if their genre and company are the same, Crono and Auron come from completely different series and generations. i seriously doubt there is much, if any, significant SFF today. give Auron credit where credit is due! --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.

if their genre and company are the same, Crono and Auron come from
completely different series and generations. i seriously doubt there is
much, if any, significant SFF today. give Auron credit where credit is
due! The same could be said for Aeris and Sora. Both Aeris anbd Sora came from different series and generations yet Aeris was able to SFF him several years ago. Auron might rSFF Crono considering he just made a cameo in Kh2 not long ago. However i will not discredit Auron here. Kh2 has given Auron another type of fanbase(target more toward children) just like how SSBB would give Nintendo and younger kids fanbase to Snake. Auron is definitely much stronger than last year and i won't be surprise if he actually breaks 44% on Crono. --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

The same could be said for Aeris and Sora.

Tell me this year isn't the best year. Jill lost by 27 votes for two year. Gordon Freeman finally wins a match. Yuna and Tifa making it into the Elite Eight. Someone broke 60% on Gordon Freeman. Ganondorf and Zero can't make it into the second round. The closest percentage a NNN has ever scored on NN.Vincent scored 48% on Sonic.(Snake/Bowser won't count if you believed Bowser overperformed in that match) Samus finally changed her costume and revealed her face.(I may be wrong though) Snake and Sonic(The two underdog) could possibly take on NN(their lifelong nemesis) with the new boost they gathered. Etc......................... --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

Crono 57.81% 54,496 Ganondorf 42.19% 39,767 TOTAL VOTES 94,263 Auron > Ganondorf is possible. Of course that would require that Crono beats Sonic, which seems more and more like it's going to be a close match with no clear favourite. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |
| nobleIII | Posted 11/6/2006 6:45:56 AM | message detail |
| Auron won't stop now, he'll be gaining % for a while. That'd be putting him just that much more above Ganondorf. |

Looks like the strongest newcomer is Sub-Zero and the strongest female newcomer will probably be Peach.

Crono beats Sonic, which seems more and more like it's going to be a
close match with no clear favourite. It would also require Ganon 2k6 to = Ganon 2k5, and for Ganon 2k5 to not be underrated, which is unlikely at this point given Yuna and Auron's success. --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword.
