It's just too bad you underestimated Dirge of Cerberus (rather ironic because you likely would have overshot it had you still been a Vincent supporter!!) and the power of the Blue Blur!

Watch out, Samus! After the release of new Sonic the Hedgehog, you're next!

Week 6: Han Solo - W, 28-26

If Sonic gets Super Sonic against Crono, you may as well give him the bracket right there.

Well, Snake may put a dent in that...

Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128.

How odd that it may be those generally regarded as the weak links in the Noble Nine who may be fighting it out for the male bracket!

Sonic and Snake can both get their first wins over fellow Noble Niners, and Sonic can finally reach his first Final Four!

On the contrary, all is right with the world because they're the two best members.

I wouldn't mind if Sonic actually went and won the entire bracket!

...But just beating Crono will be pleasing enough too!

I like the way you think HM. You also see how overrated Crono is.

Samus > Snake > Sonic

But they are the Top 3 of the NN nonetheless!

I actually don't want Crono to be overrated and Sonic to still win with about 52%!

Sonic doing well helps out old Ganon!

Heh, that's always been questionable for me...Snake is no doubt the greatest member of the Noble Nine (and this entire bracket), but I always struggle between MM and Sonic, mainly because MMX is incredible while MM (outside of MM7's ending) is incredibly lame.

It's too bad that a certain princess has a thing or two to say about that!

Yeah, Princess Elise anti-voting might be what brings Sonic down.

This is assuming Auron with 45% here. Sub-Zero...above Zero? How delightful! Seeing Kratos as a legitimate threat to Zero seems very weird, too. Alucard doesn't end up looking that bad if these stats are accurate.

Hmmm...Sub-Zero vs. Zero: Who wins?

Yeah, all those are enough for me to believe that Mega Man and Crono are going down. Although at this point Alucard > Kratos looks improbable no matter what happens.

considering last year Zero got 37 on mario, and Luigi beat him with 3+%, Luigi this year would be expected to get 40%+ on mario W/O SFF, mario would of course win by more due to that. That's assuming Zero hasnt dropped. That for Luigi is a tad under 2k5 BOWSER, which is stronger then this years. It might be right, or he may be above bowser, considering he beat kirby by more.

How sad. In that case, Sonic's whole division is brought down, and since Zelda = Ganon, she obviously stands no chance at Samus, or perhaps even Yuna.

Last year Auron is projected to get 38.5 or so on Crono. You guys think Auron boosted 7%? which will most likely be the case at end.

Of course it's a beastly KH2 boost. And if Auron got such a huge KH2 boost, then Sora must've gotten an even bigger one, making him stronger than Ganondorf. That settles it, MM over the male bracket baby, no question!

Also... I haven't seen it been brought up yet, but FFXII has sold 1.5 million copies since the 31st, and I'd say that game definitely has it's closest ties with FFX. Anyone buy an influx of people coming for FAQs? I think it could be helping him out slightly, RPGs are often FAQ heavy games, and it's been just a few days since it's been released.

I like this thinking. 1.5 million you say? That's 5 times what Mario had for SMS during its first week.

Moar like a drop of 2% due to the fact that MC lost to a non-elite character, and didn't have his value completely overrated due to it.

This year's MC might be the truest MC we'll be seeing.

At least until Halo 3 comes out next year....
