Fun thought: this match definitely contributes to the theory that
Mario/Sonic SFF is real, along with SMW/Sonic 2, Yoshi/Knuckles, and
Mario/Shadow (and Sonic/Luigi?). But one thing we've learned is that
SFF also equals LFF...without Shadow here, Bowser might actually be
winning. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

The more characters you take out of the poll the better Bowser does. No way does Ryu beat him 1 v 1. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

NO. Bowser is too far behind to be winning even if he's being pulled
down by Shadow. Auron beats Bowser 1vs1 and in a format like this.
Auron is the stronger character. Also, Columbus Day... what a stupid holiday. In Vietnam we don't have pointless holidays. --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Failure swirldude has exposed me as a prediction fraud. |

You know, with Alucard and Sub-Zero both exceeding expectations, it's
possible Auron got hit by some SFF last year against Crono. I mean, he
has a stronger four-pack than Mega Man and he's doing almost as good...
without SFF. Auron is scary. It's a shame he ran into the absolute
worst character he could have gotten next round --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Failure swirldude has exposed me as a prediction fraud. |

I think it might be possible for Link to lose if Ganondorf makes it to the finals. Big if and, even then, I'd bet on Link. --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

You know, with Alucard and Sub-Zero both exceeding expectations Huh? Alucard was the most disappointing character in his match! He was expected to crush Liquid and Ness effortlessly. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Uh, I admit Alucard losing was disappointing, but no one expected him
to crush anything. It was the most debated fourpack of round 1 for a
reason. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Percentage-wise, he did about as expected, IMO. It was just Liquid that exceeded expectations. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

In terms of expectation, I think it was Liquid who overperformed
slightly (like other MGS characters) more than Alucard or Ness really
disappointing. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1365 Hey I know that poll. Best contest match ever ^^ Things change though. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2566 --- 116/152. Today : Auron > Bowser. Tomorrow : Sephiroth > Fox *One_Winged_Ange* |

The oracle consensus had Alucard with 29% and Liquid with 26.32%. So
you could say Alucard disappointed by about a percent and Liquid did
better by a percent. Really nothing too much worth noting. It went
pretty much as planned --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

It went pretty much as planned Yes, it was all part of the plan. Alucard's got a long-term strategy for winning the contest next year, and losing to Liquid was an important part of it...somehow. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

If there's Mario/Sonic SFF then why is it so inconsistent? Why would Shadow SFF Mario but Bowser SFF's Shadow? --- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism I eat wang |

alucard's plan can only be comprehended after the contest is over. still my favourite was him letting ganondorf win so that CATS would rank above him. --- Rufus shinra destroyed my bracket in the sc2k6 contest. |

It's funny, Auron is just staying in place while he let's Shadow do the
percentage ripping dirty work. But each tenth makes him look that much
better to survive Cloud's SFF buster. Damn I wish I had Auron in round
3 instead of Bowser, gahhhhhh. One other thing, though. Does anybody have any good reason why Mortal Kombat seems to be reasonably constant (Sonic couldn't budge Sub, and Chief didn't even do much) while Ryu turns to (and drops like) stone in the daytime? --- Should I start running now? |

There's been pretty good evidence Bowser just plain sucks at this
format (take a look at those favorite Mario character polls). It's not
necessarily Shadow SFFing him. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

It's funny, Auron is just staying in place while he let's Shadow do
the percentage ripping dirty work. But each tenth makes him look that
much better to survive Cloud's SFF buster. Damn I wish I had Auron in
round 3 instead of Bowser, gahhhhhh. I still don't see it happening. I'd love for Auron to advance, but Cloud vs. Auron is like pedophile vs. 12-year-old girl (*rubs eyes to scrub mental image). --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

Not necessarily, especially if Bowser somehow survives this match. He
held up pretty well against Sephiroth anyway and wasn't too far off
Bowser even when SFF'd back in 2003. Lots have changed since then. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Yeah Auron's not advancing to round 3. It'll be between Ryu and Bowser,
depending on today. If they can come this close to Auron, surely they
can overtake him with Cloud in the poll. --- 116/152. Today : Auron > Bowser. Tomorrow : Sephiroth > Fox *One_Winged_Ange* |

Well, I guess Auron is a 12-year-old girl with self-defense training, so maybe she could kick Cloud (you know, there) and run for it...but her chances of escape are still slim. This analogy has a mind of its own now. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

Bowser's problem here isn't really Ryu, or even Shadow...it's Auron
pulling so many votes with his core fanbase of awesomeness. Unless
Auron drops, I don't see Bowser getting anywhere. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |
| YoAriel33 | Posted 10/8/2007 11:06:06 AM | message detail |

I'm not so sure right now. If Ryu goes into cardiac arrest once school
lets out, Auron could stretch his lead to 10%+. That's far from chump
change when you're only dealing with ~63% of the total votes. If
Kingdom Hearts II has done anything in terms of making him more
SFF-resistant (nothing but speculation here), he'll win it. Plus, he has my vote, and isn't that what really counts? |

All this talk about Ryu and Auron and Bowser blah I say! Look at SHADOW increasing! He's a little away from 13%, which is just amazing. We all know Sonic gets its ass whipped in this format, but one on one with these guys and he should be able to at least get about 80% of their voters imho. Excellent performance today. I set the impossibly high bar of 14% on him, and he just a percent away. Amazing. Stunning.
