I honestly think I'm nuts, but I think Zelda could take Crono in a 1 on 1 match.

Yeah, Vincent's running away with this.

Vincent > Crono is one pick I wish I had taken now.

Ehhh, I think PoP/Chun-Li would be pretty close, so I give Kirby the edge over Yuna.

nah, Luigi > Yuna and I'd feel real confident about it.

Luigi has never been stronger than Knuckles, and this year makes it look like Rikku has a good chance of beating Knux. Yuna might stand a decent chance against Luigi, too.

I got the pick #1 wants. #2, if you would come in and also wish you had this pick, that'd be greatly appreciated. Also, find #3 for me.

The format is different. Knuckles would win more easily (though not soundly) one-on-one.

Today: Vincent > Zelda - Vote: Tails
Tomorrow: Crono > Raiden - Vote: Crono - Points: 42/52
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/15/2007 9:51:12 PM | message detail
Isn't the day vote a lot bigger than the night vote, though? (Considering Marcus > Kefka, anyway.)

If that's the case Tails still has a pretty good shot...


That's an example of two characters with COMPLETELY opposite trends, and Kefka was barely able to build and maintain a lead during his time... and thus got buried when the trends switch. Plus, Boss may be MGS... but that's nothing like FFVI. She WON the day vote over Celes.

...actually, didn't Boss beat Tifa with the day vote too? o.O

Without Vaan there to LFF her? Rikku probably does rather better in a one-on-one, though it could go either way.

Format be damned, she came that close with Vaan nipping at her heels. Knuckles 2k5 was a fluke.

I don't think Sonic and Mega Man or equal and I don't trust Luigi/Sonic.

however, I think his win over Kirby is good enough for me to consider him at least a step above Ryu.

Then shouldn't the female bracket have just gotten 0 votes during the day last year?

I agree with you about MGS being no FFVI, and I can buy the opposite trends argument. But didn't Kefka manage an 800 vote lead before the burial? Maybe I'm just not paying attention, but at this rate I don't see Boss's lead on Tails going much past that tonight.

Well, Solid Snake does have more name recognition.

A lot of people might see Raiden and think "oh the dude from Mortal Kombat lol"

Who knows, maybe that's a good thing >_>

Like I said before, I live and breathe MGS and if I hadn't seen the trailer there's NO WAY I would have identified that as Snake. The eyepatch is the only hint, and that's me making the connection to Big Boss.

Raiden looks fine for next round. If he disappoints, it's because he's weak.

Noone's saying he'll lose, just saying he'll probably disappoint.

Then again, we really have no idea where he lies, so he could do pretty much anything tomorrow.
