Can you guess how excited I was yesterday? :P Pretty goddamn excited! How's life? Give a troll what he wants and he'll stop trolling? Yeah, you don't know too much about it then. Trolls want attention. Smurf wanted to make a stats topic during his favorite character's best moment. There's a difference between shunning a troll and being an asshat. --- New York Mets: 97-65: At least we had a better run than the Yankees! # 1 Fan of the best video game character, Squall Leonhart <3 |

Speaking of the sun, it's going down. When's Crono gonna turn into a werewolf? Never I hope.... during the last 5 hours on Crono VS Auron, Crono gained a whole 800 votes on Auron. I don't see Sonic stopping gaining updates already (Give him two more hours). And to win now Crono has to gain about 17 votes per update. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

I've always liked the idea of the character who won replacing the character who lost. So...say Ganondorf beats Mega Man. He replaces Mega Man, right? ...But then we'd have to include Vincent and Magus because they beat him, too! In other words, there's a reason why it collapses when one loses. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future.

1200 votes-ish. Let's rate Sonic's chances on a scale of 1-10 NOW! 9.6. Crono can still do it if he ROCKS the (tiny) second night vote and stalls Sonic with the remaining day, but I doubt it. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 108/120 Today: Sonic |

Tifa's a virtual lock to finish ahead of Mega Man unless something
really screwy happens. There will likely be others ahead of MM as well. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO Z1mZum FOR ROCKING THE GURU WORLD |

If the NN ever falls then the term will be dropped. As of Sonic
beating Crono every member has beaten someone that has beaten a
different person from the Noble 9. I think MM is extremely vulnerable next year, if he draws the right(or wrong) opponent. Hell, same goes for Samus pending what happens tomorrow. As for Crono, I think he'll follow Magus and simply drop out of the pack one of these years, hopefully no cakewalk path for him next contest. |

9.2 .4 for a cheating announcement, and .4 for Crono doing to Sonic what Mario did to him in 2003. --- "........!" ~Magus |

| Vincent is a virtual lock to finish ahead of Mega
Man, too. Sonic would have to get less than 46.64% on Snake for Mega
Man > Vincent. If Sonic wins by 50.69% or more, you get Ganon >

*shrug* I just don't like when people say "OMG DROP TEH CONCEPT IF THEY LOSE". Just call it an Elite 8 (I will be, for what it's worth), if you don't think the 'substitute' idea is viable. There'll still be 8 characters never to have lost to anybody outside themselves. I just don't think such a long-standing and strong idea should be lost because a genuinely stronger character finally beat them. I mean, come on, let's be honest...in a sprite round last year, Vincent or Ganon would probably have beaten Bowser. There's many other instances where the NN WOULD have fallen, but got lucky with bracket placement. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 108/120 Today: Sonic |

We really should have a non game character contest at one point. And
then after that have the strongest half of that bracket take on the
strongest half of the game character bracket. It would be better than having another game character contest with the noble nine removed anyway. : / --- Can't think of a good sig. |
