Sonic beating Crono with more than Snake is getting on Mega Man right now would be pretty hilarious. Come on guys, you know it would be. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

Sonic will definitely take the NPH vote from Crono. It's safe to say he will win the morning and the day vote as well. It depends how long Sonic can keep his lead going into the night, and how much of a lead Crono can build before the day hits. --- - Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2?

Sonic got a pretty solid night vote aganist Vincent, who one would assume would be pretty good with it. Now Crono is the master of the night vote, but as we've seen from Magus v Knuckles, Crono could storm to a 700 vote lead and lose by a few thousand. What I'm expecting tomorrow is Crono to peak at a 200 vote lead and for Sonic to very quickly demolish it and to win by about 3000. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

Crono is better with the day and night than Magus and Knux is better

likely assuming Sonic is as powerful as he has seemed... --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

Vincent's horrible in the Nintendo Hour at least. He is from FFVII
after all. And Crono's actually pretty good at the Nintendo Power Hour.
He was above 60% by its end against Bowser, and finished with 57%. It
was around 5 AM when he began to fall rapidly against Bowser. --- "........!" ~Magus |

In the first 2 hours, Sonic built a lead of 1000 on a stronger Vincent than Crono got only 700 on. The days of Sonic being a weak turd during the night are gone. He's really improved his night vote at the expense of his day vote in the last 2 years. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
| Sir Crono | Posted 11/9/2006 12:21:34 PM | message detail |

Either way, Vincent has a tendency to go up during the day, meaning he's better then than at night. --- As you wish. |

And yet Sonic finished with 3% less than what Crono finished with? .....Must be because of Sonic now sucks with the day vote!

Well, I at least hope this puts to rest the whole "X won last time,
I can't see Y swinging that %" argument I've seen time and time again. Seriously, this is like a 14% swing in Snake's favor over the course of two years. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I agree, and I was using that argument a lot. This match is a great thing for this contest, because it firmly does away with the (pretty common, I think, at least by the way people talk about it) notion that the contest can't change/it's very predictable. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Sonic humiliating Samus is going to be great. --- Feel my truth. |

I think the best thing about this match (and Samus vs Tifa) is that it
provides some hope for the future of the contests. If Snake can turn a
43/57 loss into a 56/44 win in two years, what's to say he (or someone
else) couldn't beat Link in two or three more years? If this contest is
going to stay interesting, what we really need to see are shakeups at
the top (and to stop removing characters from the bracket), and today
we're getting one. Here's to putting Clinkeroth back in the main bracket. Snake > Sephiroth in 2007! --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

I'd love to see Sonic v Cloud rematched. I'd fully expect Sonic to improve at least 10% from his 2003 showing. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

Twilight Princess has been one of the most anticipated games around for
over 2 years and it's coming out this month... in Summer 2008, it's not
going to be nearly as big a deal as it is right now. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

what's to say he (or someone else) couldn't beat Link in two or three more years? Because Link isn't going to stop increasing. He is getting his biggest game ever in about a week, which is certainly going to help him out a ton. Zelda games come out every few years too, so he has almost nothing to worry about when it comes to dropping off. And there's no way I expect someone to catch him after that. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Honestly, I doubt it's going to change his strength all that much once
the hype has worn off (unless it really does turn out to be the best
game ever which is pretty unlikely statistically). Link is already
ridiculously popular and ridiculously well known, plus he's been the
center of huge hype for the last two years. Once the game has been out
for a while and the hype has died down, I think we're pretty much going
to be seeing the same old Link. Which is still pretty impressive, of
course. But someone like Snake still has a lot more room to grow than
Link does. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

There are plenty of characters who are ridiculously well-known and
ridiculously popular that still manage to increase; Link is going to be
no different. He's going to increase a good deal from TP and he'll stay
there throughout the rest of these contests. People aren't suddenly
going to forget Twilight Princess later on. Besides that, this match isn't Snake all increasing. It's pretty evident that Mega Man took a nice sized fall from the last time these two faced off, combined with some Snake increase. Someone like Snake is relying on, what, SSBB? Yeah, you're getting into Link's fanbase there and are now able to be SFFed. I don't think we're ever going to see anyone outside of Cloud ever being able to compete with Link post-Twilight Princess, and even then Cloud won't provide any real competition unless that FFVII remake comes out sometime. The contests are still unpredictable, just now as far as the winner goes. Link's lost all of once -- and that was over three years ago -- and he's not going down any time soon. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Zelda games come out every few years too, so he has almost nothing
to worry about when it comes to dropping off. And there's no way I
expect someone to catch him after that. Mega Man games come out more often than that, and you see what's happening to him. People in this topic tend to assume nothing ever changes (even when faced we have evidence to the contrary staring us in the face). I'm not claiming Link is expected to lose or anything, but it's just dumb to assume Link is invincible forever. He's not. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

the face). I'm not claiming Link is expected to lose or anything, but
it's just dumb to assume Link is invincible forever. He's not. ...That's sort of Mega Man's problem. He just have a game come out every few years. He has multiple games come out every year. He never has that big game that people can look forward to anymore. Link gets a game every few years that gets highly anticipated and is always huge. He's in the last long running series that doesn't get whored out with numerous spin-offs and games that are just made to cash in on the Zelda brand. Someone like Cloud may be able to beat Link after a FFVII remake -- I still very much doubt it, but it's certainly debatable -- but Snake? That's just really out there, especially when the game that is supposed to take him to this level is one that is big among the Nintendo fanbase. It's very, very unlikely that Link will lose now and that gets more unlikely after Twilight Princess comes out. We have seen Link lose once, so he's not entirely invincible, but he's about as close to it as you can get. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Heh. Snake's going to end up winning by more votes than Mega Man won by
in 2004, although that's primarily due to the increased vote totals. ...Wow. I never realized how bad the vote totals were in 2004. Snake/Mega Man only had 87,000 total votes? --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

An hour after 3:00 EST, MM has shaved off a total of .09% off Snake's percentage. ...you ****ing suck, Mega. .....Is there any chance Sub might end up at or above Ryu's level?

Well, the key difference between MM and Link's fanbases when it comes
to games is that Mega Man has not had a single "great" title since the
SNES days, whereas most Zelda games find some way to push the envelope
with sheer quality. Both will have games constantly released, but MM's days are numbered if Capcom doesn't get off its ass. --- Proud fanboy of the Ogre Battle saga!!! ~~~Allah Approves~~~ |
