Ganondorf did NOT pass expectations. Just because he was the only Zelda
character to not disappoint, doesn't mean he impressed. His opponents
was a Kerrigan clone, some stupid PS character that ranked under 10% in
the 2004 X-Stats, and some fodder-line DMC villain. I'm surprised he
failed to get 50%, to be quite honest --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Failure swirldude has exposed me as a prediction fraud. |

Zelda jobbed, most expected Ness to at least keep it respectable. He didn't job badly, but he didn't meet expectations either. TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest. Next pick: Auron > King Koopa BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Isaac didn't fail. He met reasonable expectations by beating out
Sergefodder. The only one who expected him to do anything was hochi. As for impressive Nintendo performances: Yoshi Samus Link Bidoof Mudkip L-block Fox Meta-Knight Mewtwo Pikachu TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest. Next pick: Auron > King Koopa BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I do have to agree with Zelda failing, though. People really were
picking her for first, as I recall, back when we still thought the
female bracket results were worth a damn. Even without them, she
should've at least gotten closer than she did. She made second, at least, but that's about it. |

Did you see the mad percent Cloud put up yesterday? I made the best prediction in the Oracle challenge for that match, and as I said before, the reason for Cloud's high level of performance was Kefka. When such a dominating character is put beside middling Kefka-level opponents, and then is given Kefka to draw votes from (and I've explained why this doesn't work the same as usual LFF that detracts from both characters, Kefka's just that damn weak), he should get 56%.

Last I checked, Tetris is a Nintendo franchise Zelda failed bigtime. She'll probably lose to Bidoof to cement this as one of the most disappointing contests for a potential Top 15 character ever.

I think L-Block is pretty far inside the nintendo camp...selling 30 million plus units on the gameboy will do that --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |

Bowser doesn't need to "win" the ASV to gain on Ryu. As soon as morning hits, it's all downhill for Ryu. Also, expect a diluted day vote tomorrow due to Canadian Thanksgiving TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest. Next pick: Auron > King Koopa BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Bowser only overrated year was 2k5, which was ironically Ryu's only bad year. Last years stats have Bowser and Ryu almost equal. Which is why I'm so disappointed in his performance against Ryu in both this match and their Round 1 encounter.

He's not dominating Bowser. And we've seen all the fighting game
characters impressing this year. This format seems to help the genre. Anyways, my bracket is screwed. I was counting on Bowser advancing to round 4 with Cloud to SFF Samus and let Mega Man eek out the win. That's not looking to likely. TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest.

Ugh, don't mention Magus. It...it still hurts.

the time Bowser has a chance to make a move. Hopefully Ryu sputters out
or something. TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest. Next pick: Auron > King Koopa BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

...actually, Kefka kind of held up well, didn't he? At the end of
both matches, Fenix was leading him by about the same relative amount. Kefka was (more mildly) SFFed in the last match too, so that's not surprising. Also, it's not like Kefka's whole voting bloc is the same as Cloud's - but the part that is the same can be expected to have voted very, very strongly in Cloud's favor. It gave him the extra couple of percentage points he needed to push above 55%. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

It helps that many verisons of Tetris on Nintendo platforms are million
sellers...only two verisons of Tetris for the PS have sold a million
otherwise However L-Block inst a Nintendo character in the traditional sense...he isnt owned by Nintendo, he just derives a large portional of his non joke vote strength from Nintendo --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

Well, this one's over. The next interesting match we would be Magus/Big Boss/Phoenix, if only because it's a Phoenix match. I wonder how long we can keep Phoenix in 2nd. --- Who the hell do you think you are getting off being so egotistical like that? - hochiminh155 to Takfloyd_mkII__ |

The next interesting match we would be Magus/Big Boss/Phoenix, if
only because it's a Phoenix match. I wonder how long we can keep
Phoenix in 2nd. The fact that Big Boss might actually get a Naked Snake picture throws an even bigger wrench into things. I know the chances are slim, but keep hope alive!

I can't wait for Mario's match. I want to see how well Big Boss holds
up when he already got 23% with Pac and Wander alongside Mario. I want
to see how well Magus does after he let Phoenix lead him for several
updates and couldn't double Crash. I want to see how well Phoenix's
hardcore fanbase holds up to Mario in comparison to how Miles held up
to Link. I want to see what numbers Mario can plant on these three so
we have a better idea of what'll happen against Sephiroth... ...just saying, I'm really interested in it.

And I want to see what would happen if Big Boss gets a Snake picture. At this point, that's probably my second most anticipated match of the round, but it's still light years behind Luigi/Ganondorf.

Given the Pac/Mario "SFF", I think BB's number is a wee bit inflated
there, and the 3 way race for second couldn't have helped Magus in his
match. TuRtLe ~~~ 115/152 in the contest. Next pick: Auron > King Koopa BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
