Frog/Axel was a series of boring topics where every post was "OMG AXEL CUT 20!" "OH NO FROG DROP!" Not necessarily a bad thing... A lot of us get excited by a good comeback and there was a lot of excitement to be had. I thought that was an awesome day. --- Eff Dee |

Vincent and Zelda match is one of my both favourite and hated match
first round. I like the fact that 2 of my favourite characters are in
the same package, but I hate that they are together even at the very
first round, and that they are the 2 single strongest NN9, so, they'd
deserve to reach further, cause they will also have to fight the
almighty Link AT ROUND 2. For me, I think that Zelda > Vincent. Zelda did very well vs. Samus last year. Vincent lost by the similar percentage vs. Sonic, and we all know that Samus > Sonic. And yeah, Zelda has TP, Brawl and PH. Vincent just has...Cerberus. Although the game is very hated, casuals surely enjoyed it. --- Onimimi's films rules! |

So if Bowser should be strong in the dayvote, then why is Ryu increasing his lead with about 50 votes per update right now? And one tradition lives on, every year Ryu has a poll where he kicks serious butt.... --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

Cerberus is old news though. I took Zelda there based simple on Vincent
not having anything to help him this year. Although I do think
Zelda/Samus makes Zelda a wee bit overrated due to Samus' inability to
SFF worth a damn TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

hmm. if Mewtwo's afterschool vote is anything like his morning vote
(and it should be), he's going to look plenty good. I think we might
see him push 25% by the end of the day. if you don't think Mewtwo is slowing Bowser down here, I don't know what to tell ya. Ryu/Bowser in round 2 is still an unpredictable tossup, just like I thought it was prior to this match. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

Yeah. The four combatants in that round are from distinct enough
fanbases that I can't see Bowser being hurt much by SFF (unlike this
match). As an aside, it's too bad Snake needs that Solid label to distinguish him from Liquid. It would have been nice to see a four-pack of Snake vs Frog vs Toad vs Scorpion. --- 100% Frog Log Quest: Current Progress- 400 of 627 Completed: Jaster, Kisala, Deego |

I still think it's a strange day for Bowser. SFF or not, n00btwo
shouldn't have done this much damage to him, and at this hours Ryu
still get +50 updates on him. What ever happenes the next round, Auron
won't get less votes than Bowser... --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Proud supporter of Knuckles and Magus in Character Battle VI |

Well since the west coast start school in about 30 min I'm not surprised that Ryu is making big jumps. How much of a cut do you think Bowser will do to Ryu during the after school vote? I'm guessing a few hundred votes. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 8: Ryu > Bowser Points: 24/28 |

Like we've been saying all year, the "during school" vote is basically
a weaker extension of the night vote. The only exemption is
Kefka/Fenix, but that's because Fenix is much more appealing to older,
casual gamers that would be voting at this time as opposed to 3am like
the hardcores. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

He might pull even with Ryu (which would really affect percentages),
but I don't think he's going to cut much. All he's got so far are cuts
of 34, 11, and 1. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

And Ryu's only gone up since that odd hour. Bowser isn't normally a
strong afterschool vote drawer. He lost votes, not just percentage, to
Kirby then. I checked the trends for Pokemon in the Series Contest, and
both times, it went about dead even, but it was actually losing a small
bit of percentage in the afterschool vote hours, though that's not a
perfect translation since it was during summer. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Frog/Axel was a series of boring topics where every post was "OMG AXEL CUT 20!" I find those topics to be awesome. Exciting. Fun. Don't be a nob. Let the good times roll. etc. === Also, VERY impressed by Mewtwo today. He's not that far off from Bowser...though it's almost certain that the vast majority of Toad's votes would go Bowser's way, Mewtwo is still exhibiting enough strength here to be allowed back in a 'normal' contest. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

If you turned Bowser/Mewtwo into a two-character match right now, Bowser would be beating Mewtwo with 56.06%.
Mewtwo perhaps beating Leon Kennedy? Man, that would be great. I think
Toad is holding Bowser back some, while Mewtwo is resisting being SFFed
by Bowser (though of course they are SFFing each other... but I'm
thinking equally). --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Toad holding back Bowser SOME? More than either of the other two
easily. This would not be close head-to-head. I'm thinking Mewtwo could
probably resist SFF now, but he wouldn't be any threat of winning, nor
would he beat Leon Kennedy. Couldn't see that. And since someone brought up Vincent/Zelda/Tails/Boss, I'm skeptical on Zelda's chances in this format. Sure, she gets plenty of support just from being the titular character of the series, but I honestly think this format hurts her. Like Bowser, I think she has a lot of people who like her, but how many think of her as a high favorite? Maybe it's just me (though I admit I'm not exactly in tune with the LoZ fanbase), but I just don't see her getting widespread support, and we already know that Vincent's easily the fan favorite of FFVII after Cloud and Sephy. --- "I'm no hero...Never was.

I disagree. Zelda doing so good on Samus is indicitive of a solid
fanbase. SFF in matches like that depends on how liked a character is
more than anything else. Which is why Zero did so good on Mega Man.
Most people see Mega Man and vote for his games, but throw Zero against
him and suddenly you have someone that is well-liked and a badass.
Another example would be Auron resisting SFF against Crono last year. Really, I can't see Zelda/Vincent being anything but a slobberknocker between 2 incredibly strong character that both have legitimate arguments supporting them.

Yeah. The way Mewtwo's performing here makes me think that's definitely what's holding back Bowser here. Round 2 could go either way, but I'm really liking Bowser's chances once Mewtwo (and Toad, too) isn't in the picture. I'd put TP even with, or maybe just above Wind Waker. Let's not get crazy here. TP isn't the FFVII killer and Zelda to dethrone OoT, but it would destroy The Wind Waker. It'd be one of the strongest games here, probably in the top 10, or if not that then a little outside of it. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

Does anyone think Bowser and Toad have a fanbase that isn't shared? I'm
thinking if Toad would go away as good as all of his votes would go to
Bowser, which gives Bowser the winning edge for the next round. And
some of Mewtwo's votes. --- I got owned by Rufus Shinra, the 2k6 CB Guru Champion! The Cream of Smurf FODDER |
