Match 2: Mega Man > KOS-MOS Points: 4/4

All Diablo needs to do is stall and hope the Arthas votes stop.

If 2k6 is any indication, this is certainly Mega Man's best time... for whatever that's worth.

Hopefully he can redeem himself from the terrible falls he took daily in 2k6. You don't let Snake take the day from you... you just don't.

Yeah, I'm not calling matches within the first hour or two because this board has a boner for certain characters and will undoubtedly have a small lead. When the afternoon hits and this crap is still going on, THEN I'll throw in the towel.

Although I have to admit, I didn't think Arthas would get as many votes as he is. Diablo's in trouble. Damnit, the one freakin' time I trust Blizzard.............jerk-offs.....

KOS-MOS should keep building this lead through the night, but yeah, she needs to get up there toward 1,000 before I start feeling good.

Haha... what the hell? Did anyone in this topic pick Samus > Axel? If so, could you look at your bracket?

Because my bracket is showing Samus > Kerrigan right now. I sure as hell didn't mean to pick that. I have records of sending my bracket to a few people via email just before I submitted it, and when copying it for the guru and all that, it clearly said Samus > Axel.

In every poll she's been in KOS-MOS' strongest times are the early and later hours of the match. She also collapses with the day vote almost every time.

The thing with day votes in these matches is that, unlike the easy split in 1 on 1 matches, there are now 3 other characters to split it on and that hinders the other characters.

Maybe so, but if Knuckles can swing 1700 votes his way with a Nintendo character in the poll, Diablo could probably make up 1000. Maybe.

Well Knux tore through that day vote without much trouble, granted he was initially winning in his match, and Rikku's lead only went as high as 500, but he also had Yoshi to deal with, who is no slouch with the day vote. In today's match, Diablo doesn't have to worry about MM's day vote, and we really don't know about Arthas.

Yeah, Knuckles was assured to take the day because of how beastly he is when the sun rises. Diablo isn't on that level... assuredly, he's facing off against characters with worse night votes, but the point stands.

Diablo's % on M. Bison before the sun rose: 51.53%
Final %: 52.88%

Diablo's % on Kefka before the sun rose: 51.41%
Final %: 54.09%

Also, he only allowed Ganon to gain 0.4% on him from sun-up to poll close, and he made up over 1% against Sonic during the day.

I repeat: it's very silly to count him out.

Well if KOS-MOS can keep pulling in updates like that, it very well may be over soon, but I'm not willing to say anything until she had a lead of 1,000, and even then it's not a lock depending on the circumstances.

uh, yeah, Arthas got more votes than Diablo that update.

...we could be seeing some serious **** from Arthas. I'm more scared of him getting second than Diablo right now, for whatever reason. I also demand we nominate him next contest.

I'm with the tranman on this one. Arthas for CB2K8, yo. I really hope he takes 3rd place here, that would make for epic lulz.

Anyway, I'm glad Steve lost his perfect bracket on day 1 for this contest, now I don't have to put up with all his crap.

I have Vergil > Thrall but after seeing this match, Thrall > Vergil is very possible.
HaRRicH | Posted 9/3/2007 9:44:30 PM | message detail
he made up over 1% against Sonic during the day.

It's worth noting that Diablo was linked about halfway through the match...that likely played a part in it, though I figure he and Sonic would have still duked it out over the day-vote.

Perhaps Thrall > Vergil IS possible...

Well, it was never impossible, just a standard upset pick. The clincher for me was hearing from my little brother and his WoW friends that every single player knew Thrall, and many would bother to vote for him. This, coupled with my sincerest doubt of Vergil possessing a dedicated fanbase, sealed the deal.

So, is 50% good or bad for Mega Man? Or is the answer to that question "who knows" at this point?
MMXcalibur | Posted 9/3/2007 9:45:56 PM | message detail
Now that I've seen it, I think Arthas there is Diablo's Achilles Heel. He's splitting the Blizzard vote and KOS-MOS is doing JUST ENOUGH to take advantage of it update by update. I'd like to be wrong, but granted Arthas doesn't stop magically losing support during the day and Diablo rules the roost, I think KOS-MOS is moving on...........thanks to Arthas.

02. 12050 Yoshi/Knuckles in Yoshi vs Knuckles vs Rikku vs Vaan (Round 1)
03. 27766 Rikku/Vaan in Yoshi vs Knuckles vs Rikku vs Vaan (Round 1)
