From MasterMoltar Oh, and I'm still feeling good with Samus taking the whole thing. As long as ZSS was a fluke, she should be fine. However, I wanting until her match with Zelda to finalize my thoughts. Well, yeah. When she loses to Zelda, those thoughts will have been finalized pretty well. ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

Then you're delusional. Knuckles has swung with the day insanely in
every match he's been in. He's turned 50/50's into easy victories
multiple times with it, and there's no way in hell Sonic swings 6-7% in
his match against Snake. You just don't comprehend voting trends, Turtle. He swung 6-7% on....2k4 Snake? Put 2k4 Sonic against 2k4 Snake, and I could see a swing equal to that, except it'd be harder for Sonic to swing when he probably would have been winning through the night back then. This year's Snake is a whole new beast, someone who's kept his massive night prowess without losing a step during the day. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest.

Heh, I hate Snake Crono and Sonic. The only thing I can hope for in
the next male match is Snake to beat Crono/Sonic by more than he beat
Mega Man by I suppose, and we all know that isn't going to happen. How could you hate Snake? I don't like the MGS games much at all, but I still absolutely adore Snake! Sonic and Crono are pretty bad though. Crono's the worst character in the bracket, and in the bottom half of the males, only Luigi and Crono are worse than Sonic. --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword. It won't hurt anyone 'friendly'.

ZSS + FF12 influx + small AC/KH2 boost = massive Tifa overperformance. That will be pretty damn apparant when the stats come out. I can see Samus still taking the finals, although it will probably be closer than we thought. Then again, we also thought Mega Man and Crono were locks for the final four.

He swung 6-7% on....2k4 Snake? Put 2k4 Sonic against 2k4 Snake, and I could see a swing equal to that You. Are. Delusional. Not as delusional as "Crono needs a 10,000 vote lead to be safe!" today, but delusional nonetheless. And as Samus v. Zelda goes, Sonic is projected to get 54.57% on Ganondorf. I still favor Ganondorf in strength against Zelda, so if Samus can't crack that it'll be very disappointing. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Now wouldn't it be a mind **** if Snake beats the winner of today by as
much as he beat Mega Man, and it turns out Mega Man didn't drop at all,

Then again, we also thought Mega Man and Crono were locks for the final four. I don't know what you mean by "we", I had Sonic beating Crono since day 1. And how could Crono ever be considered a lock? He was like 1.5% ahead of Sonic last year, and Sonic has had Rush and various other hype since then. I don't think anybody ever considered MM > Snake a lock, either. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 108/120 Today: Sonic |

Another thing about Snake/Knuckles 2k4 is that the poll times were
later, so there was no Nintendo power hour to dilute the night vote and
make these percentage shifts less radical. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Mega Man and Crono were only expected to win their Elite Eight matches by 52.35% and 51.72% respectively.
