Holy crap, I just saw a picture of Jade on LL, and his belt buckle is Pac-Man. I would have voted for him had I known that.

Yay for L-Block. Yeah... can't say it's surprising, either, given I expected pictures to cause its strength to vary greatly. I don't think L-Blocks votes are hardcore or anything, though. I wouldn't L-Block a joke character, but rather a CASUAL joke character. =P I'm pretty sure Kratos is stronger than Kirby, given Kirby's SFF should cancel out a lot of the Nintendo split that's hurting Kirby.

That's just the thing though. If it's a joke everyone is in on... is it really a joke anymore?

Just because people vote for L-Block with a smile on their face doesn't mean he's a joke ;)

It's actually a complete joke to even try and call L-Block a joke character at this point.

Again - joke nomination. Not joke character.

Outside of the creepy yet awesome logic...isn't this the first time we have serious candidate to be the proverbial character-that-everyone-could-get-behind-and-push-much-farther-than-expected-just-because-it's-already-messed-up ?

I think pictures matter a helluva lot more for L-Block.

I'm pretty sure they have Wednesdays off. Saturday school is optional I think, it's ethics and religion. More like parenting. Btw, Germans always get off at around 2PM :d They have school on Saturday for sure though.

How many hours do you have per week in high school? Hours being 50 minutes, right?

I know Hayabusa is clearly stronger than Riku... but, I still have a feeling Riku places tomorrow.

hochiminh155 | Posted 10/17/2007 10:20:59 AM | message detail
Riku would get 90% of Roxas votes and 65% of Haseo's votes. That is a fact. Plus I think Riku has a more hardcore fnbase. Snake SFFed Sora and will probably do the same to Riku but expect Ryu to get hit with SFF too. Then we see Lara place second on the match after. I hate Lara as much as everyone here but it's quite clear she'll take advantage of the siuation she is in.

given I expected pictures to cause its strength to vary greatly

Pretty much everyone expected L-block to be very pic sensitive, and we all thought it was screwed by that awful round 1 pic. But then I guess when it got 30%, much higher than expected, people thought maybe the pic didn't hurt it too much. I still thought this round's somewhat better pic would help him, but nowhere near this much of course. It indeed seems very likely that the brick pic did kill L-block's strength after all.

I'm pretty sure Kratos is stronger than Kirby, given Kirby's SFF should cancel out a lot of the Nintendo split that's hurting Kirby.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here, but I think that Kirby would almost certainly do better 1-on-1 against Kratos than this match implies. DK, and maybe L, are hurting him more than Kratos, even though he is SFFing DK heavily.

I know Hayabusa is clearly stronger than Riku... but, I still have a feeling Riku places tomorrow.

That's the thing about this contest. It can always surprise. And that would be just about the most WTF thing we've seen.

Though, I do expect Riku to get 80% of Roxas' strength, and probably more of Haseo than Hayabusa does too. Which brings Riku moderately close enough to Hayabusa, perhaps in contention level.

I expect Lara to do poorly actually. I think she'd do worse than last round relative to Sora if it wasn't for the massive LFF going on. As is, she'll do a lot better relative to Sora (and if it's Sora who bears the brunt of the SFF, she might finish above him, though only an outside shot of that). But I don't she'll compete for 2nd at all.

Oh, and I don't think the pic matters with the L-block. HE'S. A. FRIGGIN. BLOCK.

I mean, that's like messing up the Master Hand...

At the rate that L-Block is decreasing, is it possible for Kirby to come back or not? I hope not. L-Block needs to get as far as possible.

Also, could you make a case for the Division 7 Finals of what's likely going to be Kratos/L-Block/Snake/Ryu H that all three of those characters will have some crazy Action Character LFF going on allowing L-Block to advance once again?! Or is that just going too far?

Kratos may be yes, but you were talking about Kirby. Besides a random 4 vote Kirby cut two updates ago, the Rawk Blawk has been piling on the lead. +41 last update.

Today's match is awesome, for all the wrong reasons.

This L-Block picture factor talk is making me want to hurt somebody.

Why? We've already seen the power of a good match pic once this round. Hell, if next round is the sprite round...I could almost see L-Block taking first.

I'd even make it a bold prediction if it weren't an if/then statement.

I do know most of the Analysis Crew did, though....

no one is voting l-block over someone else because he has a cool picture. he's a ****ing l-shaped block, he's a different color now, oh my god yellow > red, pikachu > charizard book it.

if he gets blue next round snake better watch out!

Only ones to pick L-Block were transience and Heroic Mario.
Though a couple of others had their doubts.

And L-Block beating Snake all depends on how loyal this fanbase is. Its percentage has barely dropped since last round, and it's the first character (...that feels wrong somehow...) to lose to a character in round one, then beat that character in round two. L-Block > Snake is pretty unlikely, but I really do think it's possible.

Sorry if that makes me too much of a n00b, but that's just how I see it.
