Also, even if Snake is this strong indirectly, he still could end up being screwed against the upper half of the noble nine, and in the battle royale. We've already established that there's at least some FF-MGS SFF. And if this new strength is from SSBB loyalty, then Snake will be suseptible to Nintendo SFF. In short, he could be the most SFF-able character in this contest.

If Snake did not SFF Squall, i can't see how Cloud or Sephiroth can SFF Snake.

So? It's not like FFXII and SSBB hurt him at all. He just gets less of a boost. Still enough to beat Samus and potentially Mario with ease.

Yoshi's 2006 value will be awesome, don't deny it.

And lol @ Sonic desperately trying to end above MM. Let's see if he'll make it.

Usually it lasts until the early afternoon, then it slows down, and later, the "night vote character" makes small gains. (I like using Chun/Lara to determine how the weekday vote goes, and Crono/Bowser followed the pattern too)

Bullcrud. Snake has his own goddamn independent fanbase, and though SSBB has provided a boost, so have MGS3 and MGS4 hype. Snake can still hold his own against just about any character in this contest. In fact, Snake has held his own against every character thrown against him in this contest. And any FF-MGS SFF in existence wouldn't always -- in fact, it probably wouldn't even often -- help the FF character against a character like Solid Mother****ing Snake.

Snake would still beat Crono if Crono had beaten Sonic. Snake would still beat any FF character in this bracket, including Tifa or Vincent, without breaking too hard a sweat. He'd still beat any Nintendo character in this contest, espesically in a non-sprite round; you're kidding yourself if you think Ganondorf or Bowser would have gotten close.

This year, Sonic really has reclaimed the title "King of the Day vote". He's being truly awesome with it.

The other side of that coin though is him sucking it up at night. >_<

tranny, I demand to see your pre-contest stats. plz >_>

I didn't make any.. if I had it would have looked something like this though:

Samus - 50.00
Crono - 48.99%
Sonic - 48.55%
Mega Man - 47.67%
Snake - 45.66%

just on a guess.

You guys think Snake will be retired if he keeps this up?

I mean, it's possible no one finishes above 45% on him. Crono did better than that last year on Mario...

Luigi is a much bigger vote drawer than Snake, and his Sonic match was also on a Sunday. Yet there is a huge difference in votals. It just seems strange, coupled with the strange result.

I'm sure some of Snakes current strength is down to him being favorite to win. Just like Mario last year, he will have gotten a boost from that. Combine that with SSBB and MGS4 hype. And well, we get this.

I am utterly shocked at how the male bracket was won. Who could have predicted that Snake is this strong? Forget Mario, bring on Link!
Big Bob | Posted 11/12/2006 9:43:31 AM | message detail
I'm gonna go ahead and be the first to say it: PATRIOT DIVISION NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED DOWN.

The second SSBB Trailer was released in between Snake/Yoshi and Snake/Mega Man, and it predominantly featured Snake, and could explain why the Patriot Division seems so high compared to the others.

It's going to be interesting to see the prediction percentage for Snake winning the entire contest. (Which I'm sure he is going to do.)

I'm guessing it's going be around 30-25%.

From Karma Hunter
I don't think Mega Man is perfectly constant, but I maintained from the beginning that was a very viable possibility, and there's a reason why I had him as the favorite against Snake right up until that match. Mega Man dropping isn't out of the question. Mega Man dropping to the extent it appeared is certainly out now, as Snake is brutally proving.

You never maintained from the beginning nothing. Every time I said MM was constant you jumped down my throat with "lol turtle-stats"

From Karma Hunter
No way Sonic gains as much as Knuckles in the day, let alone on this Snake. He'll be doing very, VERY good to outdo MM's performance.

Why do you continue to believe that Knuckles has a stronger day vote than Sonic? Why do you keep ignoring the fact that Knuckles has ALWAYS faced vampiric characters like past-Snake, Kefka and Yuna while Sonic almost always goes up against people decent with the day vote?

No. Snake boosted from the first trailer shown at E3. He had by FAR the best and most hyped appearance, and is the only character in the trailer that SSB fans may not have heard of.

I'm a pretty big SSB fan, but I've never heard of Zero Suit Samus, and I'm sure that plenty don't know Pit, or even Meta-Knight.
