I like how the board vote went to the obvious favourite for once because he was announced in Brawl.

Obviously the people who bought Orange Box for Portal are pity voting Gordon because his games are on the same awesome disk as Portal.

Obviously.

Anybody who can't recognize classic Metroid or LoZ sprites doesn't deserve to vote.

If this was directed at me, I've played all the Metroid games and some earlier LoZ games. I was just stating that Samus looks like crap, that's all. I mean, the first game appearance thing is kind of a silly theme to me. They could have used a good Fusion sprite or something.

For my crazy bracket's sake... (which has Sonic > Snake in the semis)... Sonic MUST win with 45+% of the vote!

Samus' Metroid picture is probably more recognizable than her Fusion sprite >_>

So the Finals are looking to be 2 boosted Brawl characters with their own individual fanbase. The Brawl related powerhouse of these contests. ...And the strongest Square character on this site...


Yeah...the Finals are looking interesting...

creativename | Posted 10/19/2007 9:38:08 PM | message detail
Haven't read most of the topic yet, so this ground will probably already be covered, but here's my thought...

Looks like Sonic's upside on the Brawl boost has fully materialized.

Also, the suspicions about Sub-Zero being hurt by a Shredder pic seem to be in the direction of being confirmed.

Quite possible the he underachieved against Auron, thus making Master Chief's boost not quite so ridiculous, and also making Sonic's 1st round performance more acceptable.

This is basically the Brawl+Orange Box match (though Gordon should go down in the day of course; he's got much more day vote competition here than in his last match).

Also I can smell the acrid smoky odor of the Master Chief>Sonic bandwagon going up in flames.

If this is Orange Box though, he might prove himself in the day. Most Orange Box buyers were 360 owners who most likely were being introduced to HL2 for the first time. So he might actually hold up if he gets some semblance of the Xbox vote.

Demyx is better than Axel.
charmander6000 | Posted 10/19/2007 9:44:57 PM | message detail
So how much does percent does Sonic lose during the night?

I'll go ahead and say he'll lose about 1% - 1.5% from where he's at now.

Match 48: Sonic > Sub-Zero Points: 173/248
creativename | Posted 10/19/2007 9:46:31 PM | message detail
Just saw the pics. My thoughts (again, haven't really read other people's, so shouldn't be anything new).

That pic definitely brings up some concerns for Samus. It's not like she's out of Mega Man's league, and with the new format already adding some variance... Not like Samus is the underdog now, and she win still win easily, but people have to wonder a bit.

I'd be very, very surprised now if Ryu ended up beating out Auron. As we've seen, SFF seems to be less important in this format due to the character already largely being reduced to his core fanbase. I already figured Auron would hold up well against Cloud. And with that awful sprite pic, as well as the tendency of 3rd/4th place characters to collapse, I could see Ryu sucking it up badly next round anyway.

Also, perhaps the most important thing...I wonder if we will see Pig Ganon? That could actually make Luigi a big favorite in that match.
