It's okay Ulti, I feel your pain. Today at least. I was smart enough to not count on a non-arucard CV character. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

So predictions on tranny's star/turd? I'll say Bidoof and Raiden TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Kudos to HK-47 - outside that initial run by Lloyd he's done quite well
for himself here. Pity he doesn't have much of a chance against Raiden
in the battle for bragging rights. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

oh and Jak's hardly a turd here.. nobody was calling for him to have
more than 22%ish, and he's got 19. if anyone's anything in this match,
I'd call Zero a turd. certainly not the turd of the division though. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! "war uh ya what is it good for absulite nothing" -ertyu |

Just got home...do my eyes decieve me, or did absolutely nothing happen
during the afterschool vote? o_0 I was expecting either Lloyd to be
close to getting the lead or HK to be totally running away. --- Current Points: 50 Maximum Possible Points: 758/768 |

Like I said at the beginning of the match, I expected HK and Lloyd to stay the same. It's Jak that disappointed there. I fully expected him to make a move to at least halve the lead between him and Lloyd. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I don't have as much faith in Mudkip as others here seem to. Has anyone considered that Bidoof might be as strong as Mudkip? From what I gathered from the Bidoof match, he shows up everywhere in his game.

That 2:30-3:00 portion of the vote was just ridiculous. Seriously, WTF
happened there? After the morning vote, that seemed to confirm that
Lloyd was going to get the ASV as well...and then he just disappeared. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

It's a stretch to say anyone starred or disappointed in this match. You
can say HK starred maybe, but pretty much everyone is close to
expectations here. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Mudkip is a starter. It's also a far bigger fad on the Internet. Bidoof has nothing going for him. ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. Embok. |

Notice how all the people doubting Mudkip are people that are also asking what 4chan is? Ignorance is bliss I suppose. I know I for one wish I'd never been linked to that steaming pile of vomit. The only redeeming quality of 4chan is the occasional hilarious shoop, and of course Long Cat TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

It's not unusual for 2:30-3:00 to be different from the ASV. Megaman
made some of his fastest gains of the day on Sonic here, and Jill
picked up 93 votes on Peach from 2:30 to 3:05 before collapsing. Votals
increase during this period, but the direction of the ASV is not
determined until 3. As for the morning vote, Lloyd only gained 100
votes, which he gave right back, not a clear win. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 47/60 -- T-245 (78 way) Bracket: Zero > HK-47 -- Vote: Zero |

I think it would be hilarious if Luigi Pit and Tingle all got shoop da woop'd TuRtLe ~~~ 50/64 in the contest. Next pick: Luigi > mudkipz BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

No, it was in September. SC2k5 began in mid-July, so the final 25% or so of it happened after the start of the school year. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 47/60 -- T-245 (78 way) Bracket: Zero > HK-47 -- Vote: Zero |

Rikku almost beat Knuckles with Vaan sucking her strength. Rikku didn't exactly own the fan favorite polls, did she? Kinda hard to do well in a FFX Favorite poll with Auron there. And I'm glad that I haven't been here. Not because Jak's losing (I was kinda afraid he would the last few days), but so I didn't have to be here first hand for all of this BT and fedor stuff. And why are Jak and Lloyd making cuts NOW when it's too late?! As for tomorrow, I have to believe in TTF (The Thong Factor) for Tingle to win tomorrow and hope 4chan sees him and realizes he's a pathetic joke that'd be funny to vote for instead of Mudkip... --- "I'm no hero...Never was.

And I was right about the potential for the three other guys to have a
relatively close battle for second place, but too bad it didn't really
provide any excitement. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

Hmmm...does it seem people are overrating the SSBB factor again? I
mean, Pit has a tough road ahead. Sure, Meta Knight surprised me, but
he has the benefit of being from a more popular still active series.
What was Pit's last game? Overall, I think SSB has already done most of the damage it can do. Like with Zelda, its popularity is at such a high point that even a new release like TP won't cause such ridiculous boosts since most of the site is Zelda friendly in the first place so the amount of people voting were likely to remain about the same. With SSBB, I see that game being as huge a favorite as SSBM has been here, but its mainly with the same people. I feel the factor won't be much. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

Also, I feel confident in Raiden's ability to get 3rd place in the next
round, perhaps moreso if he gets a MGS2 picture. 20% on Crono > 20%
on Zero Err...I mean, Raiden for 2nd! 20% on Crono > 40% on this crap! --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I just noticed that this contest is quickly approaching the Game's
contests record of matches decided by 1000 votes or less. The Games
contest had six (bonus points if you can name them), this has five
already (all under 400 votes) and we're only halfway through the first
round! (Two of this contest's were for 3rd place and didn't count for points, but we'll ignore that.) --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

if SSB is being overrated, so is 4chan. I find it hard to believe the
only people voting for Mudkip tomorrow will be 4channers. that thing
has a lot of appeal, and that fad has spread far beyond 4chan. if Mudkip wins, it's not necessarily 4chan's fault. --- THE ORDER MATTERS?!?!?!?!?! "war uh ya what is it good for absulite nothing" -ertyu |
