I'm back, and goddamn do you suck Midna. I fully expect Frog to eek out
a lead overnight, but he should fall apart when the sun comes up. At least there's no ASV today, so he doesn't completely blow the match over the course of one hour. TuRtLe ~~~ 101/128 in the contest. Next pick: Mega Man > Knuckles BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I'm more interested in Ocelot's picture than the match itself. If he
gets a real time 3D image, might we see... could we possibly see...
Naked Snake? Of course, judging by today's crappy picture, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

So, I get to within 10 brackets of the leaderboard and I immediately
lose 2 matches. So I guess this means Cloud > Marcus and Auron >
Bowser are confirmed, so I can get close to the leaderboard again
before getting killed by Zelda advancing or something. TuRtLe ~~~ 101/128 in the contest. Next pick: Mega Man > Knuckles BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

...did you see the Crew predictions? No, but they're not usually particularly good are they? The Oracle seems to have her between 43%-44%, so this is a very mild overperformance right now. Probably mostly at Midna's expense, as Midna seemed pegged between 14%-15%. Also Midna clearly getting SFFed here. Using King Morgoth's calculator last round her % on Link was about 19-20% (pegging Scorpion at 26%-27%), this round it's looking to be 15%-16%. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

And damn is Samus disappointing me here. SFF or not, Yoshi > Scorpion by a lot, Knux > Frog by a lot and KOS-MOS and Midna seem like they'd have a good match. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Was her % on BL based on Kratos? Because if it was, I think Kratos has dropped since his last appearance. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I think there will be a BIG L sitting
there just to the bottom right of Kirby in the match pic... L-block
will only get its classic appearance in sprite round, which is usually
in Round 3, so L-block will win this round and maybe even the next one,
you'll see! --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination. The cream of Chocobo fanboyism. |

The numbers I used worked out to 19%-20% for Midna and about 17% for
Kratos Aurion. So a drop for Kratos. But obviously the inputs are
debatable. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Yoshi beat Dante and got 42% on Solid Snake. That's way better then whatever Subby was projected on Sonic. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| YoAriel33 | Posted 10/5/2007 9:27:42 PM | message detail |

Yoshi is stronger than Scorpion (no way does Scorpion go even with
Dante, even before SFF); there's no rule that states Scorpion and
Sub-Zero are joined at the hip. However, it's not that significant because the Round 3 match will deal with SFF in addition to innate strength. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I don' t know about Yoshi being that much stronger than Scorpion, at
least in this format. Stronger yes, but by a lot? I wouldn't think so. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
| Keno316 | Posted 10/5/2007 9:29:05 PM | message detail |

That's my point. This format is very different. I wouldn't be surprised to see Scorpion finish ahead of Yoshi. SFF or not. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Yoshi managed almost 30% with Mega Man and Knuckles in the poll. That
says a lot to me about Yoshi's strength in this format. And I'd take
Yoshi outside of this format to at least 55-45 Scorpion. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Yeah, Yoshi is much stronger than Scorpion in this type of poll or in 1 on 1. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I figured Frog wouldn't be able to match his %age from last round,
because the competition is tougher here. I hope he can stay above 17.5%
though. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Well, he still has all night to increase before he starts falling like a rock, I think 18-19% would seem about right to me. And here's more proof of SFF hurting both characters and leaving uninvolved characters alone. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

The Yankees could've used some insect-eating frogs at the Jake today...poor Joba. Anyway, if Square ever got around to that Chrono Trigger remake, Frog would be having no trouble with Scorpion here!

I'm starting to worry Frog might not get the lead at some point tonight. Diasppointing =( TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I figured Frog wouldn't be able to match his %age from last round,
because the competition is tougher here. I hope he can stay above 17.5%
though. I really, really doubt it. Not only is the competition certainly tougher (Scorpion >> Axel and Midna > Kerrigan), but Frog won't benefit from an inflated percentage due to a neck-and-neck match and incredible last hour rally. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Not necessarily. Yoshi is still stronger than Scorpion, and he's bound to take away more from Samus than Mega. That said, I know I'm not on it. |
| transience | Posted 10/5/2007 10:09:00 PM | message detail |
|
hmm.. no surprises here today. Samus doing pretty good. MM still has a
chance - who knows how the fanbase splits in that match - but Samus has
to be the favourite just based on strength alone. I.. uh.. I got nothing else. oh! Frog is a 3 hour kind of guy, so I expect Scorpion to just start dominating him in a couple of hours. and when the day comes? ouch. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

Frog isn't a 3 hour guy, he's a night guy. He was building his lead on Axel until the sun came up. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/5/2007 10:16:24 PM | message detail |

Mega Man beating Samus next round is doubtful IMO, but if he makes it
close enough, I can see Bowser hurting Samus more than Yoshi will. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| transience | Posted 10/5/2007 10:16:52 PM | message detail |

so, what's the consensus? a.) Samus is much stronger than Sonic; b.) Sub-Zero is much stronger than Scorpion. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

Anyway, if Square ever got around to that Chrono Trigger remake,
Frog would be having no trouble with Scorpion here! (hell, even a
freakin' lousy cheap ass DS remake would be a fair boost) That's probably be the best thing to happen to Chrono characters. Even a direct port would probably do wonders. --- let's mosey |
| Xcarvengerx | Posted 10/5/2007 10:20:08 PM | message detail |

a.) Samus is much stronger than Sonic; Sub-Zero is only a bit stronger than Scorpion. --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination. The cream of Chocobo fanboyism. |

Both Scorpion got destroyed by Zero and (I think) Auron. Sub-Zero did much better on a KH2 boosted Auron. TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

but zero is also > sub-zero so if sub-zero was in this match instead of scorpion, what would he get? 28-30%? --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination. The cream of Chocobo fanboyism. |

I could see Subby in the high 20's here. 28% or so. Aside from 2-D fighters impressing across the bracket here, Subby's performances last year may have been legit. He's a high midcarder, probably around the area of Kratos and Ryu H TuRtLe ~~~ 105/132 in the contest. Next pick: Samus > Frog BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Yeah, poor Frog is going to get destroyed during the day. He doesn't
have Kerrigan to absorb some of the percentage lost, either. If he's
only getting 19-20% now, during his best time, he could conceivably
lose updates, even whole hours, to Midna. Probably in the morning. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |
