Also, I think BT is right about Starcraft and Korea. It's a huge
phenomenon. They have starcraft schools or something of the sort. Weird
stuff. --- 156/200. Today : Master Chief > Yuna. Tomorrow : Dante > Balthier *One_Winged_Ange* |

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Starcraft is their national game/sport. They also
have a number of Starcraft related deaths over there from people
playing nonstop for consecutive days. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

| What are the chances for Ganondorf>Yuna next round? For some reason I had MC>Yuna in round 1 and 2 but for mysterious reason I let Yuna take the higher ground in round three(I also have her and Ganon in the finals :P) |
| Gaddswell | Posted 10/14/2007 2:27:48 AM | message detail |
| After what we saw yesterday and today, pretty much
nil. The Ganon/Luigi split will keep Ganon from taking first and, as
we're seeing right now, Chief looks like a real threat to upset Sonic. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

My god I still can't get over how polar Chief's voting trends are. He
has like a 20% variance between the strongest point of the day and the
dead hours of night... it's awesome. I think his day vote will be even more disgusting today, because Alucard and Liquid are that much better with the night than Vercetti and Parappa... plus Vercetti is reasonably good with the day vote. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

nice show by the Chief here. I'm convinced. nice show by Liquid, too. Auron / Big Boss overlap? who knows, but at least there's more evidence to back up the claims. not that it's particularly strong, but whatever. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Vivi. "All I can do... is just sit with them." |

Just like his first round (also on a weekend), Liquid has a random
spike starting at around 5:30 updater time... must be from our
non-American voters who love their MGS! In that match, Liquid kept
gaining until later in the day where Alucard started catching up... too
bad Master Chief is going to take most of the day votes in this match. --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination. The cream of Chocobo fanboyism. |

Master Chief is Crono reversed Crono was also getting 40% consistently through the night then he actualy started to duke it out with Zero for updates in the day...going at around 35% Master chief is pretty much the opposite. of course,i'm not saying MC is on Crono's level just yet,as Zero is much stronger than Yuna.just comparing voting trends |

Stupid LS, why couldn't you suck LAST ROUND? That way, I'd have three
more points right now, and be ahead of the 100-people levels, instead
of at the edge. (At 143 points, will have 151 after update). --- It's difficult sometimes to distinguish between existentialism and a bad mood. |

Replace Parappa and Vercetti with Alucard and Liquid and Master Chief

there --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Unless he somehow matches his 1st round performance. Those 50% updates
are murderous. Ok so he definitely won't reach over 45% but damn he
might go a bit over 43. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Absolutely not. In no match this contest does Squall stand even the
slightest of chances of taking out Sonic. First there's Aeris/Sora
holding him back, then there's Solid Snake. Not happening. Squall got 43% on a Solid Snake that Sonic got 45% on. Given how badly Sonic looked last round, there's a good chance Squall can outdo him there. Assuming he can beat Sub-Zero while being SFF'd by Aeris/Sora. But if Auron beat subby 60-40, I'd expect Squall to at least match that 1-on-1, which means Sub-Zero has as much of a chance as Yuna does of advancing, except Squall won't be splitting evenly with Sora/Aeris. TuRtLe ~~~ 157/200 in the contest. Next pick: The Chief > The Summoner BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I want Squall to do well but there's no way he makes it ahead of Sonic
if only because of Snake's being there. Sonic in Brawl doesn't help,
either. I'm worried about Squall even making it that far; Sub-Zero has
a great chance to upset him due to Aeris/Sora being there. >_> --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

I still don't get how Snake affects Squall's chances. Last year, after
the first round we thought Snake SFF'd Squall again, but after Mega Man
and Sonic went up to bat, we realized Squall actually did really good,
coming out almost even with Vincent in the stats. TuRtLe ~~~ 157/200 in the contest. Next pick: The Chief > The Summoner BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Both Snake and Squall are two big Playstation characters, which means that there could be a big overlap between them. Also this is a different format, where Snake and Sonic are heavy casual favourit4es over Squall.... However we will never know if Squall could upset Sonic or not (LOL) casue Squall's chances to advance to round 4 is Sub, I mean below-zero (Haw haw what a lame joke) --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

If it's Kirby, I could see a wee bit overlap with Sonic and I suppose Squall might squeeze in. But I don't know, I have a feeling Squall will hold up a lot worse to Snake this year. I can't support that, though. In any case, everything would have to go right for Squall and even then it's rather unlikely. --- 156/200. Today : Master Chief > Yuna.

Ya know, MC's getting all sorts of retribution in various ways right now..... ~MC's worst loss to date was his first loss, which was in 2k3 to Aeris. Yuna practically equaled Aeris last year against a common opponent, and MC's now smashing Yuna for the second time in a row...and will again next round...and, if she advances again, a fourth time will be had as well. It must also be nice to have a Square punching bag after never beating anything Square-related before this contest (Aeris, Frog, Crono, and if Subby didn't upset him last year then Auron would have too). ~MC's most notable loss was his loss to Frog, which was insanely close and was Frog's second match which was very close that year...his first being against Liquid Snake. Many people said that, in a match already that close, they would trust Liquid Snake to overcome MC head-to-head, despite MC technically doing better against Frog than Liquid did. ~Halo was soundly beaten by CV in the Series Contest last year, and Alucard is the star of CV's biggest game. It was also assumed for afew years that MC/Alucard would be a great match not only because of how close it would be, but also because of the opposite trends that would come into play...and before last year, I think most people would have taken Alucard > MC. Now MC's just beating that ass for all the years of abuse he's had! If only he could have had a four-pack with Isaac, Frog, and Sub-Zero at some point..... --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.
