Bomberman is ripping into Phoenix now. I'll say it again: X-Box live Bomberman = X-Box day vote influence. Bow down to the bomber!

Kratos/Riku heads-up, who do you take?

Kratos, easily.

Discussion time...

Kratos/Riku heads-up, who do you take?


Assuming you're talking about the Kratos that doesn't suck, I'd take Kratos comfortably. If Phoenix's game selling more copies and getting a sequel can help him this much, imagine what Kratos' sequel and original game going GH will do for him.

Good thing I took him to his divisional finals

Sorry, but Objection, the other site, 4chan, and every where else on the internet have exhausted their resources. I knew there was only so long they could keep Phoenix afloat. Still an absolutely amazing effort, though.

PW is not going to have much votes by the time the day vote starts and even if he did a little bit better during the first two hours against GF he fell back down again.

This doesn't count as an epic collapse.

Just a regular one.

Bomberman looks like he has this unless the after-school vote does something wacky. Can't complain, though. Phoenix was doing great the first half of the match - which was more than a lot of people could have hoped for.

This match is very surprising. Either Bomberman Crash and Phoenix all boosted to hell since we last saw them, or Magus is now a midcarder.

It's a pretty big collapse though. Usually when characters are ahead by 600 in the first 45 minutes, it's pretty safe to call the match....

He wasn't a midcarder after jobbing HARD to Knuckles?

__Smurf__ | Posted 9/14/2007 10:00:37 AM | message detail
Knuckles is an upper midcarder and he still held up well against him compared to today. I'd be hesitant even calling Magus a midcarder after this showing. Phoenix, Crash and Bomberman are borderline fodder, not even lower midcarders.

all Knuckles

lol no. It was Magus' overration that was the main factor, though Knuckles did admittedly make a considerable boost.

Nah, Bomberman was always a low midcarder, Phoenix seems to have boosted to low-midcarder status since last year (or Gordon was really strong last year and Sora is knocking on the Noble Nine's door)

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/14/2007 10:03:30 AM | message detail
I dunno. I don't think Magus was overrated so much that he dropped hard between 2k4 and 2k5. You can see that in Crono and Frog too. I would take Magus to win the Devil Division if 2k5's votals were as low as 2k4's

Phoenix's trends are not normal by any stretch. he just slowly runs out of gas as the match goes on. I don't think he's going to do a whole lot worse from here on, but if Bomberman picks up...

Weren't they fairly even with the morning vote?

Say Bomberman gets a slight advantage...if Phoenix has a 500 lead going in to the ASV, it could actually go right to the wire.

At the rate Bomberman is going right now, he's still got a good 4 hours before he makes this match even.

It'll probably be a bit shorter than that with the after-school vote, but who knows.
