Honestly, it's possible Yuna gets last in tomorrow's poll.

I have a feeling it's going to be M Chief > L Snake tomorrow.

I want to reserve judgment on Yuna until tomorrow, where she goes up against two guys people actually care about.

Yeah. I'm thinking Master Chief > Yuna > Alucard > Liquid, with Chief having the biggest lead, and Alucard the smallest.

You're asking for a 2000 vote comeback in a SFF match (where the biggest comeback is, what, *maybe* a hundred or so votes?), with NO afterschool vote?

That's almost as stupendously unlikely as Squall advancing over Sub-Zero

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

I think Mudkip would be expected to get about 20% here going by his round 1 match, so if you assume his non-stuffed strength is 22%-23%, it seems like Ganon and Luigi are getting hurt by decent but not huge LFF. It's right in the range of giving Yuna a shot, yet still not looking great for her.

Yuna takes second easily. She is the 2nd most liked character from one of the most beloved Final Fantasies.

Cloud>Sephiroth>Vincent>Squall>Auron>Tifa>Yuna.

She is in a poll with a Castlevania character and a MGS character and Halo.

If they use a FFX-2 picture, L-Snake is completely boned.

Honestly, it's possible Yuna gets last in tomorrow's poll.

Given how close Luigi and Ganon are today, if she can't beat Ganon, there's a good chance she'd be below Luigi.

There's also a shot Yuna doesn't make it. Remember that the first round match could've been Yuna flopping in this format as well as or instead of MC benefiting.

What?

I'm seeing Sub-Zero advance there right now, but I don't get this. It's quite debatable.

I'd say Sub-Zero surviving his division is really likely. Squall and Aeris/Sora split the Square vote and allow Sub-Zero to sneak in. Subby's certinaly strong enough to take advantage of that.

And there's plenty of evidence to suggest Yuna sucks at multi-option polls. She's far from a lock for second.

Heh :-) should be interesting indeed.


3.Be honest, about a month ago, who really thought MC would be a lock over Ganondorf?

I picked MC to lose to Sonic/Snake with both my brackets. I have to say I was a little surprised at the lack of MC support pre-contest. Between this format diminishing anti-votes, Halo 3, the overall grown acceptance towards Xbox, and Ganondorf-Luigi SFFing it up, MC rocking that 4-pack was always had a good chance of happening.

I'm not saying that I disagree with you that there will not be a comeback, because I don't see any reason why there would be, but if I recall correctly the largest comeback of all time was in a SFF match.

...Oh, are you talking about DK/Duck Hunt? I don't really consider that a traditional SFF match, but at any rate I was mostly just talking about characters. In which case I think the biggest successful comeback is... Squall/Vincent, where Vincent overtook Squall after Squall got the lead in the morning?

I don't know man, you need to cut away a lot more votes to have a sizable Ganon-Luigi difference. No matter how you slice it, they're within 5% of one another. With how Yuna performed against Zelda last year, and her first round here being absolutely fine (if not great, depending on MC), I can really see her doing this. Ganon of course still has a good chance as well. Yuna with a slight edge for me, though tomorrow may change that.

And there's plenty of evidence to suggest Yuna sucks at multi-option polls. She's far from a lock for second.

Is there, though? Nearly matching Crono's percentage on Vercetti is fine, if you ask me.

Ugh, Im thinking now that it looks like Squall will make it to the finals instead of Ganon.

By final I hope you mean divisional final, and he'll have a strong opponent in Sub-Zero there.

Vercetti could also just be bad at this format. Look at how close he let freaking PaRappa the Rapper get to him. Also, look at how strong Master Chief looks if Vercetti doesn't suck at this format.

Well I like to think Yuna sapped quite a bit of Vercetti support there, but her being on the better end of SFF also bodes well for her -- she'll need it tomorrow. Lol controversial

This is overstating things. You can just as easily say that MC nearly matched Sephiroth's projection on Vercetti. It's not nearly as impressive as it implies.

Sub-Zero looked damn good against Sonic though. Aeris/Sora is going to give Squall a hard time there.

There's a good chance with how crappy Squalls performance looked in Round 1... at least to me. Aeris was no where to be found for years, she makes her return, and she looks like crap. Tack on Akuma getting that close to her, and with how strong Subby looked, there's a real chance of it happening.

This is Korea we're talking about. A Starcraft forum there would be the equivalent of... well, Gamefaqs here. They have competitive leagues that get thousands of viewers. Starcraft is to Korea like the NFL is to America.
