Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 509

I'm not sure I'd take him over Kirby, but that'd certainly be a good upset. I'd imagine it'd be close either way, though. But barely getting by Master Chief doesn't strike me as being able to topple Kirby.

Kirby > ...uhh... Zero.

It's a tough one, and even if Zero has noticeably dropped over the years, he really kicked the **** out of Scorpion in 2003. Certainly wouldn't put any money on that match, but I'm pretty confident with Kirby winning the fourpack.

I see I was correct on my bold prediction of Sub-Zero doubling Prince of Persia! We'll see how the day vote goes, though...

It seems that almost everyone has a good day (afterchool) vote. Who loses it the most? Viewtiful Joe? Sonic's obvious great with it, PoP gained on Kirby (though it's hard to accurately judge), and Scorpion was the best out of everyone with the afterschool vote, including Midna.

Oh, yeah, and... Squall is so screwed.

On top of all that, VJ lost it to Tails if memory serves me right and his games seem the most niche. I'd go with him losing the day-vote.

Wow this is weak for Sonic, then again since when was Sonic good at the start of a poll? At the start of his match against Solid Snake, he looked like he would do worse than Yoshi. Give him some time and he will be above 43% when this poll is over...

Yeah MC's next match will be interesting. Not only will it be cool to see how MC will do after HALO 3, but any of the rest of the characters can advance with him.

I'm also looking forward to tomorrow, since no matter what happens two awesome characters will advance.

Maybe it is just me, i think Scorpion will have no problem annihilating Frog after today performance. MK character just do well in this format and Frog is the same person that struggled against a KH character. That KH character isn't even Sora or Riku, it is freaking Axel.

Just imagine everyone's reaction if we didn't see any MK action since '04, and if we didn't see Scorpion's match yet.

If Frog can keep close to Scorpion, then Frog's going to win -- I can't see him not rallying enough to beat a MK character if he keeps him within striking distance at the end of the match. That said, I'm interested to see how Scorpion does in his match...Samus handily beats Sonic and Sub-Zero handily beats Scorpion (directly, at least, and probably indirectly). Frog will also put up more of a fight than PoP or VJ. It could be a fun little battle.

Geez, no one is looking towards Sub/Gordon/Duke next round at all? It's probably the one I'm looking forward to the second most. It'll probably end up being nothing, but the match give me the oddest feeling...

Haste_2 | Posted 10/4/2007 12:14:12 AM | message detail
Since I'm bored...I'll comment on every match next round as far as how it makes me feel.

16. Sub/Sonic/Duke/Gordon
The most interesting part of this is who gets third between Duke and Gordon...

15. Sephiroth/Meta Knight/Fox/Wario
Nothing interesting here, aside from seeing if MK might be able to resist SFF better than Wario (probably not).

14. Crono/Zero/Raiden/HK
Raiden/HK-47 has potential to be close, I guess.

13. Samus/Frog/Scorpion/Midna
Frog/Midna will probably be the barnburner here, heh.

12. Cloud/Marcus/Ocelot/Kefka
It will be interesting to see Marcus in action, as well as to see how Kefka deals with SFF.

11. Dante/Amaterasu/Ada/Balthier
All three have a decent shot for second, especially if Dante SFFs Ada Wong or something.

10. Master Chief/Yuna/Alucard/Liquid Snake
I'd place this one higher. Alucard's plan will cause something interesting here (i.e. get close to Yuna)! If not, Alucard/LS 2 should be interesting.

9. Snake/Riku/Ryu Hayabusa/Nightmare
All three have a chance for second, especially since both Riku and Hayabusa have a risk of an SFF disadvantage.

8. Mega Man/Yoshi/Knuckles/KOS
MM/Yoshi SFF? I'm starting to lead towards it, honestly.

7. Link/Vincent/Zelda/augh
augh should outdo Zelda. That's quite interesting.

6. Kirby/Kratos/DK/L
SBAllen needs to give a flat/sprite version of L-Block, and we'll have awesome potential.

5. Luigi/Ganondorf/Mudkip/Vergil
Don't see why you ranked this one so high... perhaps Mudkip has a .1% of upsetting Luigi. Luigi beating Ganondorf would be awesome, but it's not happening, sadly.

4. Mario/Phoenix/Magus/Big Boss
There's a bit of doubt here. I always love polls involving Phoenix Wright, too.

3. Squall/Aeris/Sora/Lara
Aeris or Sora? AHHHHHHH! I'll side with Aeris, I suppose.

2. Leon/Vivi/Tidus/Pikachu
Pikachu will be fun to watch. Who does better out of Vivi and Tidus could be interesting.

1. Auron/Shadow/Ryu/Bowser
The most deserving for the top, of course.

transience | Posted 10/4/2007 12:16:34 AM | message detail
Luigi/Ganon is ranked high for two reasons: Mudkip potential, but also because of how important the Luigi/Ganon split is. that's a huge match as far as seeing if Ganon has the stuff necessary to advance deep.

MC's match should probably be higher, but there's a clear favourite and a clear second place favourite.

if Lopen's crusade is "morning vote != day vote", mine is "decreasing with the night vote != increasing with the day vote". the early vote is totally different from the day vote. I wouldn't expect Sub to increase with it just because he's decreasing here. possible, but not linked at the hip.

From 4:30 AM to the match's end...

---Sora gained ~2.5% with his main opponents being Lara and Wesker.
---Fenix gained ~3% with his main opponents being Kefka and Nook.
---MC gained ~4% with his main opponents being Yuna and Vercetti.

...Sonic's got a good day-vote, yes, but I don't think he beats MC's and Sora or maybe even Fenix could fight with him to keep the day-vote competitive. I'd also think the pair of Sub-Zero and PoP are better at day-time than the other pairs...plus I would take VJ over Daxter, Zelos, and PaRappa.


Just saying that Sonic's not going past 43.5% without something amazing on his side, and I wouldn't be surprised if he finished around 41.5%.
