As much as I love Kratos (and I do, even though DK > him), I'm hoping L-Block advances with Snake next round, just because my bracket actually has a shot at something.

L-Block looks like even more of a favorite now. Kratos is going to get the Nightmare treatment, albeit on a substantially less extreme scale.

Good god Snake. Wow.

Imagine him after Brawl has a high playrate at this site. I don't think I'd take Mario over him then. Nintendo SFF might be the only reason I don't take him over Mario already.

The day vote in this match probably won't do much, all these guys are good day vote guys. Snake might be the only guy that drops, and that shouldn't be by much.


MegatokyoEd
I KNEW Riku would somehow come out and beat Ryu H this round. This contest is wacky like that.

Though Hayabusa is still very likely to win this, I know what you mean as I had the same feeling. I think multiple others suspected a close one here.

I didn't think Riku would do it, but I thought he'd be close, and I wouldn't have been shocked if he won. I certainly disagreed with the people who thought Hayabusa was a lock here, though he did deserve to be a hefty favorite.

I figured Riku'd get 80%-90% of Roxas' votes (no way at all that there overlap was less than Cloud/Sephiroth's), and also more of Haseo's than Hayabusa. Also Ryu could get BadasSFFed here. That gave Riku a shot here.

Riku's main problem here is that he might collapse with the overnight vote. The overnight vote I think has usually been the pivotal vote this contest, because that's when the %age swings the most. And Kingdom Hearts is probably bad at that. I see Riku finishing lower than where's he's at now, while Ryu might finish higher.

When he was making his bracket I told him not to take L-block, that it was a stupid call and he would get screwed over. Boy is my face red.

Really. The KH day vote is beastly but I actually take the X-Box day vote if I have to choose. Riku better hang tough now if he wants a good chance.

He is hanging fairly tough, though.

Hmmm, Ryu seems to be having trouble taking off. No matter who wins between the two, I can't complain. Riku wins, there's 4 points for my bracket. Ryu wins, that means the badass ninja beat out the little loser from that lame turd of a game.

I figured Riku would drop overnight, but it looks like Hayabusa might too. If so this match could be great.

Riku should still go real good with the ASV, but Snake's presence might alter Ryu's trends a bit maybe. Shouldn't be by too much, as Ryu should still do good with the ASV, but Snake might be hurting Ryu's overnight vote.

I'm not liking how close Hayabusa and Riku are right now. I've got Hayabusa and I know he beat Riku+Roxas combined while remembering Solid/Sora two years ago...but this isn't awe-inspiring. Hopefully he pulls through for me!

I'm expecting Riku's ASV to be better than Ryu H. I don't think we can expect any massive comebacks, as his ASV obviously won't be bad, but I'd be willing to go as high as a 1,000 vote lead still being in the realm of possibility. I know I'm gonna get a ton of hate for that.

Well, in the last match, the peak difference between the two was at 4:00 AM. Riku gained about .7% from that point and Ryu lost about .4%...so it's not as if the day vote will change things all that much, but Ryu still doesn't have long to build his lead.

These are late, I know, but I'm responding to them anyway.

And it looks like Nightmare is a dud after all.

This format can make anyone look like a dud. You could call Samus a dud based on her score in the battle royal last year. True, she got SFFed, but we don't know for sure what fanbases (if any) Nightmare shares with these folks. If he falls under 10%, then we can talk about duds.

L-Block needs massive PS2 SFF to advance another round.... go Riku auuugh

Looks like Snake is hurting Ryu more than Riku, so far.
And in general, the better Snake does, the better it looks for L-Block advancing.

...the worse it looks for the L-Block > Snake upset, though.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/17/2007 9:56:11 PM | message detail
Snake wouldn't really alter Ryu's trends with relation to Riku. Snake's night vote would hurt Riku just as much as it hurts Ryu.

The fact that Nightmare's percentage has dropped so much compared to Snake this round proves that Nightmare is merely underperforming this round.... nothing with him suddenly being a dud.
