Honestly...I take Ness > Liquid and now Liquid might take first?

At least, if Liquid takes first, Alucard ends up in 2nd and I end up with 2 points. Better alternative to Alucard > Liquid! --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Yeah I'm liking this stall for Alucard's chances. This was Liquid's
best time against Frog too, by the way, the dead hours. He took the
lead towards the end of em. Might've been his best time in his Villain Contest matches but I don't care enough to look. --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

*Wakes up* Well Liquid did make his biggest gains on Frog in the morning and at the end, but if he was to win I'd rather have Ness come in second 2 points > 1 point. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 20: Alucard > Ness Points: 58/76 |

Hmmm after adjusting the time it looks like Frog was slowly making his way back to 100. Let's go Aluness. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 20: Alucard > Ness Points: 58/76 |

Eh, he's stalling alright, really. Compared to the hours before now, anyway. Give him a few hours to regain his bearings. ... why am I still awake? --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

going up is no good! --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

Dammit, Alucard, kill Liquid hard enough for Ness to pass him! Alucard > Ness FTW! ...>_> --- He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising. |

Damn power went out at 1am last night so I missed all the excitement. Wow @ how hard Ness dropped off after the NPH and wtf @ random swing at 5 am? Well, hopefully Ness closes the distance on Alucard, because I think Liquid is a lock for first here. That makes 4 fodder MGS characters that performed like midcarders, and one potential midcarder MGS character that performed like fodder. Nightmare > Snake confirmed! TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest.

I don't get this. Ness falling apart with the night vote I understand,
Alucard losing the second half of the night vote to Liquid I can
somewhat understand, but Liquid and Alucard staying alive with the day
vote while Ness struggles? This makes absolutely no sense to me TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest. Next pick: The Plan > Ness BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

....What? Do you have any idea how voting trends work? There's still a day vote on the weekends, it's just not all lumped together at one particular time. TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest. Next pick: The Plan > Ness BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I think this just proves how far down the Nintotem Pole Ness really is. This is how far his EB support and diehard SSBM support gets him. He holds up well when it's Nintendo vs. Not Nintendo, but like others, falls apart when options are given. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

...he's really not that far behind Alucard and LS, I wouldn't call this falling apart like Mr. Monkey. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

Falling apart? Do you think anyone would've taken him over Alucard or Liquid 1 on 1? --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |
| JaKyL25 | Posted 9/22/2007 7:04:20 AM | message detail |

If they wouldn't, then why would they pick him to advance in a
multi-option poll over either of them, when both would naturally have a
much more unwavering fanbases than someone most voters only know as a
character in SSBM? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

No one knew MGS would be so dedicated. And you can't underestimate the Nintendo vote when it's a vital part to Link's power. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

And just as I wake up, Ness pulls one of his best updates yet. It this point, I'm hoping for Liquid > Ness. Seems to be the least popular pick, and I still get 2 points from it! Actually, it seems the most likely at this point. --- Moltar Status: The Analysis Crew...believe Alucard/Liquid/Ness/Zidane - Bracket: Alucard > Ness - Vote: Liquid (68/76) |
| swirIdude | Posted 9/22/2007 7:07:18 AM | message detail |

LS > Ness would be...acceptable, seeing as only 4 Gurus took it, and
since we are most of the top brackets, I could still make a run later. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

Seems as though Alucard's age is finally catching up with him. Either that or Ness/Liquid are both solid midcarders now. TuRtLe ~~~ 60/76 in the contest. Next pick: The Plan > Ness BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I doubt LS beats Yuna. I think. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |
