This is truly epic. Wow L-block. I was totally wrong in thinking he
wouldn't hold up so well today. Very real chance of him advancing with
Snake now, because Kratos sure as hell isn't advancing there. I'd still
give it to Ryu though, if only barely. A decent L-block pic for a
change and he's definitely second for me. --- 168/216. Today : Leon > Tidus. Tomorrow : Kratos > Kirby *One_Winged_Ange* |

The RAWK BLAWK is looking to have a ~4,500 lead over Kirby by the start
of the ASV. How close do you think the gap narrows by the end of the
match, if any? --- ~FFDragon. (at Work !!) The Cream of Resident Evil Fanboyism. |

Judging by the morning vote, it might stay pretty even. Either way, it's amazing. I mean, just think about it... A Tetris block beat Kirby. |

it probably goes about 50/50.. maybe he (it) gets the lead below 4000. check out the 6-8am vote. --- xyzzy |

anyway, I was asking these questions to HM last night: PERCENTAGES: Snake/Sonic/Sub-Zero/Block Cloud/Link/Master Chief/Block they're impossible to answer. --- xyzzy |
| YoAriel33 | Posted 10/17/2007 9:18:34 AM | message detail |
| I think Cloud/Link/anyone/anyone would just be seen as Cloud vs. Link with two distractions, so both Block and Chief might get really undervalued. |
| transience | Posted 10/17/2007 9:19:41 AM | message detail |
|
I disagree - a vote for the Block is a vote for people who are tired of seeing Cloud and Link! --- xyzzy |

Harrich L-Block could shock next round, is all. Shock is not the right word at all. L-Block will very likely be favored over Kratos next round. Hayabusa will probably be the guy he has to actually worry about. Unless L-Block gets bad pic, Kratos might well be an afterthought in that match. KamikazePotato It isn't quite as amazing when you see how well joke characters did this contest, but still...yeah, wow. L-Block is NOT a joke character, outside the board vote (which accounts for a small proportion of total votes) virtually none of his strength is joke strength. It's just recognizability and Tetris Power. Yoariel I think Cloud/Link/anyone/anyone would just be seen as Cloud vs. Link with two distractions, so both Block and Chief might get really undervalued. I just checked Cloud/Link/Snake with Morgoth's x-stats, and interestingly the formula was bad there - Snake underperformed heavily, at 27%. Cloud was about 43%-44%. If Snake can't hold up well there, probably nobody can. Also LoZ may have SFFed Tetris back in the day. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

My only consolation here, is that Kirby was the board favourite to come
first today, and second next round. At least Kratos has a chance of taking second next round. TuRtLe ~~~ 177/224 in the contest. Next pick: Kratos > Kirby BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Getting beat down by Kratos should be expected; having nearly a 4000 vote lead on Kirby? Not so much! --- "No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale." |

And L-block is a joke character in every sense of the word. I mean,
it's a Tetris block. The beauty about L is that it is a joke that
anybody would get as soon as they look at the poll, as opposed to CATS
whose fad died down years ago, or the random Pokemon which people might
consider actual characters. TuRtLe ~~~ 177/224 in the contest. Next pick: Kratos > Kirby BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Why is L-Block getting praise for holding up well when it was winning but is now being mercilessly beaten down by Kratos? No one expected L-Block to get first. Few expected him to scrape by at second. No one expected him to have a 4,000 vote lead over third place heading into the 13th hour. >_> --- ~FFDragon. (at Work !!)

Random Pokemon can have character too you know. Not so much in-game,
but in the anime, Pokemon have their own unique characters. L-Block, as
far as I can tell, isn't alive, it's just a little building block. Woo. --- Jesus never had co-op adventure mode. Brawl is a little bit better. ~McMoogle Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

A little weird to see Kratos doing so good now while L-block just
continues to increase the lead over Kirby. Since it's a Wednesday, the
ASV is pretty much right now, right? --- 172/224. Today : Kratos > Kirby. Tomorrow : Snake > Riku *One_Winged_Ange* |

Paraphrasing a friend of mine who kinda keeps up with the contest... Him : I'm not surprised he's getting 30% Me : After getting killed by Kirby last round? Him : Obviously you've never played Tetris. The later it is in the game, the faster L-Block is going. And the stronger he gets! 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 ? --- Kaxon is a figurehead.

I think Kirby will do better in the after school than the morning,
solely because for whatever reason DK massively sucks in the ASV. But
he ain't gonna be cutting 4k+ votes. And Kratos might even get more
beastly. --- Should I start running now? |
