Yeah, he was seen in one of those IGN videos last week, so we knew at
that point if you followed closely. But now everyone knows! Not that he
could have topped Ammy or anything, but I think Brawl hype could have
kept him closer. --- The 2007 Guru Rankings! thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats |

He doesn't have to be bad with it to lose 4-5% to two day vote beasts.
And it's not like he looked so great with it last round... he gave up
over half a % to Nightmare. Not saying that's bad but it's not something to hang on your refrigerator either. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Hayabusa's far from a day vote beast. Who did he actually win it against? Jill Valentine? --- Currently Playing: Fire Emblem Path of Raidance (replay), Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Last year, if you peg Samus at 40% on Link, CATS works out to 13%. This year, using Morgoth's formula and pegging Sephiroth at 43.5% on Link, CATS works out to 13.13%. So no. Although CATS did avoid FFF, which has affected so many other people this year (including Nightmare today). --- red blue green |

Hayabusa's far from a day vote beast. Who did he actually win it against? Jill Valentine? Riku on the other hand, won it over Frog, clearly he's a dayvote beast :P I don't think anything will happen today. Hayabusa will just continue to slowly increase the lead. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Kyle Bowen: Ignore me then and dont be an ass when I post. It solves everything. |

gave up over half a % to Nightmare. Not saying that's bad but it's not something to hang on your refrigerator either. I would agree with you if he hadn't finished with 57% of the votes.

He gained 1% against Dante and Zero with it too. Dante maybe isn't that impressive. Zero is nothing to scoff at though. Okay maybe that's not beastly, but it's better than anything Snake has shown to do with it. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

HaRRicH Posted 10/17/2007 11:11:25 PM message detail I missed some MC discussion...and, this is redundant by now, but I'm more scared of him than anything else in my bracket. I've already got him in first place for every match up to when he faces Solid and Sonic (alongside Ganon!), but not any further...and MC's as capable as anybody to take a Noble Niner down in this bracket. Solid and Sonic are going to split SSBB-hype (and if Ganon or even Luigi makes it there, that hhurts their Nintendo support a bit more), MC's fanbase has been long speculated to be the most independent and hardcore, he's got the most recent huge game, and his match this round impressed me much more than what Sonic did last year...and I'm reserving judgment on how it compares to Solid's match today until later in the match. There's a sliver of a chance MC gets first that match. Not a chance I want to take, but I really wish I had him advancing to the championship..... You say that like Brawl hype is the only reason Sonic and Snake are popular. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Kratos made similar cuts at this time yesterday, stopping a the end of this hour. He cut 272 votes, and Riku seems to be going a tad faster. So...he might keep Ryu at under 100 going into the school vote, which is really going to help him. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

| transience | Posted 10/18/2007 5:09:58 AM | message detail |
|
okay... this match *should* be Riku's. I have utterly no idea why,
but hey, whatever. Hayabusa's got that during-school vote to try and
pad his lead, but I don't think he's going to make it big enough. Riku
cut 300 votes in the before-school period. the day vote probably gives
him another 1500 or so. my first thought is that Kratos has a better chance in round 3 because Kratos and Ryu will have a closer fanbase split. Riku may be on the PS2, but that doesn't mean he's similar to Kratos. Ryu, Dante and Kratos are all from the same type of game. it's like Mario and Sonic in a match together. --- xyzzy |

actually, now that I think about it, xbox tends to have an average
morning and a good day. Ryu probably does better during the daytime. he
probably builds this to ~800 votes or so, too. we'll see what happens
here. --- xyzzy |

Mac Arrowny | Posted 10/17/2007 10:55:58 PM | message detail 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. aww yeah trends going the same as last time. ...but last time, Riku ended up worse than what he has now, and Ryu ended up better.

You say that like Brawl hype is the only reason Sonic and Snake are popular.

Mac, Riku's last match was on a weekend. Therefore, since the weekend
morning is similar in trend to the weekday day, Ryu's going to get
killed. TWF confirmed? --- Ask Heroic Mario about your bracket. I am a ToS fanboy and I love Kratos/Lloyd yaoi |
