Believe is from the Halo 3 commercial.


I do not know others peoples intentions for using it, but I use it because everyone laughed at people like me, HM, and the others who had Master Chief going to the Finals due to Sub Zero squashing him. Then he goes off in the first round and would have been MVP if not for L-Block.

Since whenever Lopen haxxored it!


When I changed the updater to account for 4 characters I made the &num thing option, because all other contests are only 2 characters. This is like a side effect.

It seems to be more frustrating than ever this year to predict a match to be an upset, only for the standard pick to make on bracket voting or merely a slim margin...

But that might just be me.

Finals? That's still laugh worthy, I have to admit. No way he can beat Snake, and almost impossible for him to beat Sonic too. (though I fully expect Sonic to disappoint in his upcoming match, because I think expectations are too high for him - that won't mean MC has a shot on him)

Then he goes off in the first round and would have been MVP if not for L-Block.

This makes me smile :) Go go L-Block.

Oh wait, you meant Final Four/final poll...in which he just needs to beat Sonic.

I still think that's way out there.

Is there a way to change it so that it can show any two characters, not just the two top options? It would be nice to see what happened in some of the other matches.

No there isn't, it's just coincidental based on character order.

It's a horrible thought that Ada actually won in her fourpack and might get to round 3, while Wesker, the dude that makes the series so great, won't get past freaking Lara Boobs.

CURSE YOU TJF!

Too bad. Oh well, at least we get to still see matches like Arthas/Diablo and Frog/Axel. Frog had 5 consecutive 65% updates during his comeback.

It was about now that Peach had her highest lead before Jill came back, let's hope the RE trends continues and that Sora steals the dayvote from Lara >_>

Go go Wesker! STall Lara!!!!!

Pff the only character who cheated in that poll was Axel. It's not like it's the first time that Frog makes a comeback in the final hour.

Oh and obviously there's someone who votestuffs for Lara, since there's no way that Albert would lose updates to the likes of her.

It' shard to believe that Sora sometimes only gain about 14 votes on Wesker and Lara. I wonder if he actually will be able to get in 2nd place over Aeris...

that match is not about strength... I don't know if we can really compare them in this format. it's all about who the fanbase favours. Sora could get 80% here and still lose to Aeris easily, or he could get 30% and beat her.

that said, I can't believe he stabilized so low. I thought he'd rise up to 40% before stopping - at this rate it looks like he may fall under 39%.

Pff the only character who cheated in that poll was Axel. It's not like it's the first time that Frog makes a comeback in the final hour.

It wasn't the first time Frog's been aided by cheating either. And don't compare today's trends to 2k4's.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Pff there was NO cheating in Masterchief VS Frog. But if you want to call "mysterious comebacks" cheating, then MGS and Solid Snake are the biggest cheaters in this contest :P
