I made the mistake of putting my predicted "4th" place in 1st place,
and my predicted "3rd" place in 2nd place on my zero bracket... meaning
every match I miss is most likely going to be worth two points. I was
only thinking about getting zero points at the time, but now I wish I
went for the low score. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I just checked 4chan and they doesn't seem to care much about this
match a lot. Guess they gave up after the Bidoof fiasco. There's hardly
any posts in the rally topics I saw there. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

| Mudkip has gone up a good bit in the last hour. I think having those topics may certainly be helping. Updates were in the lower 20s for a while, and now they're regularly over 30. |

yeah, I've seen a few myself, and with low vote totals it's a lot easier to impact updates. it's amazing how well he's doing here.. he's looking to outdo Mewtwo's percentage. the competition isn't even that awful, either -- Bowser's about equal to Luigi, Pit's about equal to Toad.. the only real difference is Ryu. that's a big difference obviously, but still - Mudkip is either a beast in this format (likely) or way stronger than anyone gave it credit for. watch out, round 3. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

to be honest, it might not even matter. I don't think these Mudkippers
are going to be swayed by Ganondorf. if one "SFFs" the other, they're
in trouble. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

This match does make Fox look impressive in a way. Both Luigi and Fox
were in similar SFF dominating situations and both are looking to pull
around the same %. It's just a matter of which of the two had the
stronger pack: Pit/Mudkip/Tingle vs Captain Falcon/Wario/Banjo. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

I'd take Luigi over Fox one-on-one. --- Today: Luigi > Mudkip - Vote: Luigi Tomorrow: Ganondorf > Vergil - Vote: Ganondorf - Points: 54/64 |
| Tarrot | Posted 9/19/2007 2:51:40 AM | message detail |
|
Just throwing this out there: Gannondorf is one of the stronger non-Noble 9 characters, stronger than Luigi I'm fairly sure. Mudkip has 4-chan rallying for him, which is a strength in these contests. Thrall (picking him due to thinking his competition is poor, plus the split vote between Arthas and Diablo) will have the power of WoW rallying for him. What are the chances Luigi finishes 4th in Round 2? |
| Haste_2 | Posted 9/19/2007 2:53:08 AM | message detail |
| I said that because I really doubt Luigi and
Ganondorf will SFF each other enough for Mudkip to win in Round 2. If,
say, Yoshi or someone was in place of Thrall, however... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
| Haste_2 | Posted 9/19/2007 2:56:01 AM | message detail |

Luigi no doubt beats Fox. Luigi's only matching Fox's percentage
because Mudkip isn't a normal Nintendo character... a joke-vote machine
which can't be SFFed... I get the feeling Mudkip and Bidoof will be the only two joke characters to impress. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

What about L-Block? I mean, if there is a more fodderific fourpack than
the one we see today, it's the Trio of Suck known as
Laharl/L-Block/Nathan Hale. L-Block almost wins by default, unless the
Disgaea fanbase is devoted enough. --- 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. |

Nearly 20% of the vote in an all-Nintendo poll. This really does
speak volumes for Brawl. It might be the third strongest game on the
site the day it launches. What's the second, OoT? I'd take Brawl over it right now. I'd take Brawl over anything but FFVII and SSBM (due to SFF) actually. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

After Bidoof and Nidoran F, I have to admit that Mudkip doing well is
not that amusing... unless he actually got close to Luigi. Come on,

If Bidoof was in Mudkip's place, do you think s/he'd be beating Pit? I would still take Bidoof over Pit because Pit's strength is really only from that SSBB trailer. When SSBB comes out and Pit is one of the better fighters, then I will reconsider that and probably take Pit in that case. Remember, Pokemon has become pretty well accepted nowadays to most people (I hope that last point is not really correct because I have Tidus > Serge...>_>), and these Jokemon are not 100% fad characters like CATS is. --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination.

Harrich, that's because Mudkip is resisting SFF. If Mudkip was being
SFFed like a normal Nintendo character, we'd be seeing at least an
extra 5% given to Luigi. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
