Wow, Meta Knight is impressing here. Board vote would go to Peach and CATS, so where the hell is he getting all his votes from?

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.

This is the Nintendo power hour. Remember at this time Bowser was essentially even with Ryu. He then proceeded to get slaughtered. Peach is going to fall faster than a Thai hooker

I knew we were underestimating Meta Knight too much. Kirby series bombing does not = him bombing.

And people thought CATS would beat Peach. It's not gonna be long before he loses to Meta Knight.

Uh, at least wait until Sephiroth isn't at 41%.

Sephiroth is doing AWFUL, but that's expected.

I considered Meta-Knight, but it was only retrospectively, sadly. I realized how closely I would place them in the stats, and I wondered why no one else had brought it up. Still, MK > Peach seems difficult to trust.

Almost at the freeze and Sephy still under 45%

freezin':

Meta Knight 18.98% 340
Princess Peach 20.55% 368
Sephiroth 43.22% 774

not very bold prediction: if Peach wasn't the overwhelming bracket favourite, Meta-Knight would be winning.

Lead of 28 at the first freeze. Hopefully this isn't just the board loving the guy.

Meta-Knight is the very definition of a fan-favorite, but I didn't trust him with another Ninty character there... guess SSBB shows me once again.

Though I do feel marginally better about Pit vs 4chan

Commit it to memory.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/10/2007 9:07:07 PM | message detail
Man, this is bad

The board would vote for either CATS because he's CATS, or Peach because of brackets. So where the hell did Meta get all those votes...?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Meta-Knight's doing well and everything, but look at the field -- if he gets second, he's no "beast."

I actually had Meta Knight in second for this match and next rounds match but then I changed it at the last minute. I should have kept it, damn.

I also considered Meta Knight due to the format at one point, but figured that he was the least likely of the three to advance. Now's probably his best time.

Over Peach before he even gets into Smash?

I'd take him to be near Mewtwo after Brawl comes out

I'm surprised virtually no one took Meta Knight. I seriously would've put my chips with him instead of Peach had I not been so tempted to have CATS in round 2 in a serious bracket. I always thought Peach and him would be close in this format. MK fans seem less likely to fold in this situation.

Over Peach before he even gets into Smash?

Ignoring that we're only 5 minutes into the match, where Sephiroth only has 43% of the vote, you have to consider this format isn't exactly fine tuned to fit someone like Peach, whereas this is ideal for Meta-Knight.
