lol not base-link

I suppose I'd peg Yuna at like 27%-28% on BL right now.


3 votes?!
out of so many thousands of votes it went this close?


Never really thought the Frog/MC record could get broken, I thought it was unbeatable.

Who would have expected the tiebreaker rule would come so close to actually being in play?

tiebreaker rule?

Also, it might interest some of you to know that I tolds several of my friends about this contest with about 10 minutes to go in the poll, at least 4 of them voted Liquid Snake.

Okay yeah, Mac's done. I thought maybe Amaterasu had some PW thing goin on, and I still think she might and he might stall her in the day, but he's not even slowing her down with the night vote.

Mac dropped under 16% for that hour. He's going to get eaten alive regardless. I thought he could at least make this a respectable loss :(

As expected, Mac and Ammy are not as good during the day. Dante may be the only one beside N9 to score 50% on his four pack in the first match.

I know his field is weak but still a impressive showing from Dante.

Good job Ammy, should've have stuck with ya! Ugh, for me this is just like Sephy > MK, had the right pick up until the last day and switched to someone else (Little Mac today). All I need now is for Akuma to beat out Aeris to make all of my last minute changes worthless! >_<

I guess nobody cares about old stuff like Mac anymore...

Are you so surprised? We saw a newbie in Axel go so far over Frog. We saw Kefka get squashed by a newbie like Marcus Fenix. Pac-Man get beat by Big Boss. KOS-MOS over Diablo.

Really, voting for vintage characters who haven't had games in a long while is a gamble in this contest now.

Heh, I usually hate when people "blame the board or stats topic" for picking the wrong character. But man, I'm starting to wonder why I didn't keep Ammy in second just because she was my favorite instead of changing to Mac because of the more logical reasons.

Oh well, don't really care about the points lost. Just glad my Ammy is overcoming the odds and moving on! Can't believe it's gotten so popular on the site.

If this was one of the other (read: white) Miis, who was listed as "... The Mii", and had a profile Mii pic rather than a boxing one, I think they'd be doing a lot better.

Don't forget male. He'd have to be white male, and I'm not even sure if he'd have to be white if he got the classification and a profile pic.

JaKyL25 | Posted 9/23/2007 8:24:11 AM | message detail
Off the top of my head I can't think of any stronger than CJ. Matt is the only black (in the human sense) character who made this contest.

There really aren't that many black characters in games, though, and if there are they're never more than sidekicks/sub-villains, and rarely is there more than one per game. I don't think game companies are racist (well, maybe Japanese ones), but I think they just fear that white gamers would shun a black protagonist.

Also I hope that Scorpion/Ness debate is over now. Scorpion is stronger than Liquid, I have almost no doubt.

Scorpion would have to beat Frog by a good margin next round for me to consider him over Ness.

Matt flopping gives me hope for Laharl>L-Block.

Okay, so Laharl is likely much weaker than Ammy and L-Block is probably stronger than Matt but I can dream.

Grant me a wish, my master
Take heed of me
I have been loyal servant
Heartfelt, humble

Gave up - what belongs to me
Gave up my greed
My self-examination
Made me see, to be me

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king

You say I am invincible
I cannot die,
I know, but anyway
The words, they maim me

Grant me a wish, my master
Compassion, please
I'd like to be a human
...maybe one day

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear of life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king

[Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

I tried to be like everyone
Open my soul
But what I had to give
Resulted loathing

Enchanted by the power
Licked by the grace
One beautiful black flower
The end of the human race

With pride now face my faith
King and Queen now lie in state
This fear of life I wear as a ring
I bask in your favor, I have killed the king

[Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

I had a nightmare
The Wolf eating The Raven

Entrails of life on my plate
And I ate 'em..

Interested in what I see
Try that Rorschach test on me
Have you seen the beauty of the
Enticing beast

2x [Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
I cannot sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

~*ST*~
