So all we draw from today are Zelda going back to her 2k5 value and getting nothing from TP?

We can clearly draw from this match that should Sonic be in the finals, he will be such a detriment to Link that Cloud will win with over 7%! Clearly.

And looking at it... has Zelda been able to do ANYTHING with the day vote? Even a handful of updates?

Not to encourage fedor-lite, but this is making me feel downright sheepish for choosing Zelda here.

I don't get why Zelda was the big favourite on this board. Sure maybe she's more casual than Vincent in this format, but if Vincent were closer to Sonic than Ganondorf last year, why would Zelda give him any trouble? Or maybe I just got lucky when I thought that Vincent was the most likely winner...

Hopefully Ganondorf can pull off first place in Ganon/Dante/Leon/MC

Zelda did absolutely nothing with the morning vote, much less with the day where Vincent was more prone to dominate than the morning.


LOL Conclusions!

LOL Zeldaphear!!!

You don't have to encourage fedor at all. Just bow down before NUMBER ONE ON THE LEADERBOARD!

But seriously though, I expected Vinny to win easily, but not THIS easily. He's really impressing me. If Crono doesn't get 45%+ tomorrow, I'll feel really bad about not taking Vincent. Crono needs over 50% to reassure me, really.

MarioSuperstar | Posted 9/16/2007 1:03:50 PM | message detail
And Magus losing to Knuckles and Frog getting his ass beat in by Samus after disappointing against Riku are reason enough for me to believe Crono was hurting in 2k5, at least a little bit.

Magus was overrated.

Frog hardly changed that year. he was overrated as well.

thok | Posted 9/16/2007 1:20:50 PM | message detail
Is there any reason that Raiden should be significantly stronger than Big Boss/Boss/Revolver Ocelot? Because at that level Sam Fisher is a reasonable threat to take second (well, at least according to lolX-stats) and I could see Raiden being at the lower end of that level. I'm expecting something like Crono-50, Raiden-18, Sam F.-18, Simon-14. Maybe a little less from Crono and a little more to Raiden/Sam F/Simon.

Or am I the only person who remembers how much people disliked Raiden as a character?
NominateSerge | Posted 9/16/2007 1:23:46 PM | message detail
Raiden is the main character of a Metal Gear Solid game, and he's a cyborg ninja now. Plus, he did nearly as well on Snake in a SFF beatdown as Sam Fisher did on Samus. Besides, Splinter Cell will NEVER beat Metal Gear. That's right: Johnny Sasaki would beat Sam Fisher.

Karma Hunter | Posted 9/16/2007 1:24:38 PM | message detail
Raiden was the main playable character of Metal Gear Solid 2. None of the other people you mentioned have anything REMOTELY resembling that.

As for being "hated", you can say that about any number of strong characters. Look at Squall, for chrissakes.

Even if he were equal to the Fisher level, he'd have the advantage due to the MGS hardcore vote that has been displayed here. For him to lose... well, he'd have a good chance of being the weakest MGS character we've ever seen with that.

Echoing what's been said, Raiden's role as the main playable character of MGS2 is hard to ignore. I think he'll be cleanly ahead of every MGS character with the exception of Snake.

I remember people we're calling for him to get 0 votes against Solid Snake. Raiden hate doesn't seem to be quite as bad now.

Sam Fisher shouldn't do as bad as some expect in this format. There's a hardcore - if small - group of nominators that continue to push him into these contests, and he'll probably look better than if he had to face any of these characters one-on-one. Sure, he'll probably still come in last, but I'd take everyone in his pack over him head to head.

I remember people we're calling for him to get 0 votes against Solid Snake. Raiden hate doesn't seem to be quite as bad now.

And all things considered, 17.12% on Solid Snake head-to-head less than 2 years after MGS2 ain't bad at all. That's 1 in 6 fans preferring Raiden to Snake back when his hate was at its peak level.

Oh, and I think Belmont is going to get last place there, not Fisher.

Checking in. Too bad about Zelda...and too good about The Boss.
Once again, and hopefully for the final time, Go Boss Go.

As for tomorrow's match, I don't know if people forgetting about Raiden is really such a good thing for him. Is it true, though, that he's in MGS4? That may help him a bit...

...and hurt MGS4's sales....
NominateSerge | Posted 9/16/2007 2:07:54 PM | message detail
Being PS3 exclusive will do enough damage to MGS4's sales, but still, it's gonna be the best game ever that Twilight Princess was supposed to be!
