lol 800 barrier --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

Jill is doing a sort of alright job making this not too bad right now.
If she takes the day vote, this could get close potentially. I'm not banking on it or anything, but this isn't quite over yet. --- sig |

Not over yet.....but I definitely feel comfort going to bed with Ocelot having an 800 vote lead. --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko See Quote for Character Battle VI Printable Bracket 17/20 : ( |

So what all have I missed? Any good action? It's looking like this is straight forward with an Ocelot MGS4 hype boost advantage. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

| There was MGS4 hype??? I must have missed something... |

mgs fanboys like to think people outside of their little group still give a damn about mgs4. >_> Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but hype which started over a year ago and barely exists at all anymore probably won't affect anything. --- sig |

Tifa/samus overrated her, maybe by an even larger extent then we realized initially. --- sig |

Jill is jobbing because, like I mentioned before, Cloud/Jill/Ocelot all
share a fanbase, so whoever gets SFF'd less by Cloud will survive. I
thought Ocelot had a more dedicated fanbase than Jill so I picked him. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

| This takes the cake. Ryu Hayabusa is at least the main character of his popular franchize. Peach is... well Nintendo. But to lose to Adam is a disgrace, I give up on RE characters :( This right after Kerrigan getting trashed is unbearable! |

I guess your right This contest's first round really hasn't been too kind to me. Eh, oh well, no biggie. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Jill is looking pretty pathetic... and I don't think it has anything to do with some sort of ocelot boost. --- sig |

Jill will come back during the day, then keep it close all day.... Then Lose by 27 votes. --- Hi |

This contest's first round really hasn't been too kind to me. Eh, oh well, no biggie. Some people don't like to admit it, but getting close or iffy matches right is generally just pure luck anyways. --- sig |

At least she's doing some nice stalling. The lead for the last 15 minutes were 824, 826, 825. --- Finally a damn bracket! |

Then Lose by 27 votes. That would be so hilariously awesome to see happen a third time to her... --- sig |

The worst thing is that the 2nd place of this match is pretty much guaranteed to take Kefka/Fenix... You say that as if kefka stands any chance at second. Even if cloud wasn't in round two, he still wouldn't. --- sig |

| Okay I've been away from the contest for a few years but I still know Kefka is pretty much locked into the 4th place in round 2... :) |

Just out of pure curiosity, does anyone know how well the gba version of ffvi that came out earlier this year sold? It could have given kefka a minor boost or something... maybe. --- sig |

| Kefka? Boost? Unthinkable! |
| Osfan | Posted 9/8/2007 12:41:02 AM | message detail |
| However this was Ocelots best time against Pac Man
for what its worth. Jill seems to get spikes at this time but also had
another at bout the midway point of the poll 12:00. Don't know what
that could mean for a weekend battle but nonetheless Jill does stand a
chance of making cuts during the day. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

Kefka? Boost? Unthinkable! Well it's the first time in like seven or so years that ffvi got ported to a system, isn't it? I could see it doing something, however minimal. --- sig |

So, a Kefka boost that resulted in him sucking more than usual? --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

So, a Kefka boost that resulted in him sucking more than usual? We literally have no clue where marcus stands outside of that one match, so I don't see how we could know he sucked more then usual. I guess on board 8, mgs4 hype is reason to call for an ocelot boost, but an actual tangible reason for one for another character isn't valid. >_> --- sig |

GBA my friend, not the DS. I never said the ds... and the ds plays gba games, so it's not like a gba release will just die unnoticed or something. --- sig |

I'll feel confident in Ocelot taking this for good when he breaches the 1,000 vote barrier. Jill is just rolling over here. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

I didn't realize until a few minutes ago - this is the first time we've
seen Cloud or Link beating up on midcarders and fodder since 2004. I've
always liked the aspect of watching what they can do in the early
rounds... and this format makes it even better, because we can have
debatable match for second going on while the big guys are smashing faces. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

18 people on the top 50 got the match half right and manage to stay
on the Top 50. Babus_Swain, TheS3hasYou, beefcake71090,

VillageScorp, THEVinceYoung, Vinny187, cloud2345, LeonhartFour,
JohnnytheSkin2, TheRunner_PD, inupendi, Kronos174, potatow and One_winged_ange also did not have Marcus > Kefka but were lucky. Heh =p Too bad I will definitely lose that spot today, unless that Jill cut meant anything, which it didn't. So how is Cloud perfoming today? I love the percentage gains. Now which characters would you consider stronger : Frog/Axel or Jill/Ocelot? As a side note, Sephiroth does rock ^^ --- 'At least your sword is to the point.' *One_Winged_Ange* |
