And Mega is leading again..
RPGGamer0 | Posted 10/21/2007 2:07:02 AM | message detail
And yes, Mega Man does suck because Samus didn't randomly gain a bunch of votes in the last few updates--she's actually been quite consistent--it's Mega Man that's absolutely ****ing up. Going from steady ~110 to ~85 to 64!? Jeez, Mega Man... what're you doing? Making my bracket look good, that's what!

RPGGamer0 | Posted 10/21/2007 2:08:02 AM | message detail
Okay, I guess as soon as I say that, Mega Man decides to randomly gain 40 votes per update. Sure, Mega Man, sure... >_>

I think Samus is in a very good position right now. Mega Man hasn't been able to do much of anything, and losing the lead he built up before isn't going to help him later today. Samus isn't going to dominate the day vote or anything, but it should favor her enough to put some good distance between her and Mega Man enough for a solid win.

Anyway, for some reason, I have a bad feeling that Mega Man's gonna take the day vote. Bleh for my bracket if that happens.

The signs are pointing to Mega Man taking the day vote. He's gradually doing worse as it gets later and later in the night, and he took the first couple of hours which are most similar to the day vote, despite Samus's big time bracket vote aid.

That being said, even though I think it makes him look better to take the day vote, it's certainly not good that he's gradually doing worse. This dead hour could be nasty if this keeps up.

Weird that Yoshi's winning the dead hours. I'd think Scorpion would be, if only because he's not Nintendo.

(Never as epic as Sonic/Crono though!)

Sonic/Crono was boring.

Mega Man/Sonic actually had lead changes, Samus/Sonic was way closer and Mario/Crono 1 and 2 were epic.

With Mega Man's tendency to crush a match's opening hours and bleed the rest of the day, this one seems to be over. I'm damn thrilled that Samus can do this despite what many feel are two handicaps, but I realize this topic has a ton of MM fans, so I won't rub it in or anything.

Actually, I'm now a bit annoyed that we have to sit through two (relatively) uninteresting matches before we get to more good stuff.

Samus being crippled by yoshi/pic and still beating MM makes me wonder just how bad he'd be losing if they weren't in effect.

And taking a quick browse back a couple pages, why did anybody think Megaman would take the day vote? I mean, he let Ryu from Street Fighter win a couple updates from him during his infamously bad Morning Vote!

What's that? King of SFF? No. That title always has and always will belong/ed to Link. Mega Man has only ever SFF'd a Nintendo character ONCE, and even then it was dubious.

My winners and losers of round two:

(Bold indicates big winner/loser.)

Winners:

Yoshi.
Samus.
Fenix.(Started out dead last, and turned it around, easily taking second.)
Kefka.(Last or no, he did A LOT better this round, and that's WITH Cloud there. SFF resistance, I think.)
Ryu SF.
Big Boss.
Link.
Bidoof.
Zero.
Mudkipz.
Master Chief.
Alucard.
Amaterasu.
Pikachu.
L-Block.
Riku.
Sora.
Sonic.

Losers:

Knuckles.
Bowser.(I mean come on. Last round was acceptable, but this is just stupid. I knew that Ryu and Shadow would hurt, but THIS MUCH? No. You lose.)
Wario.
Magus.(Oh my. To think we once thought he could break the Noble Nine. Now he looks weaker than Gordon Freeman.)
Zelda.
Crono.
Raiden.
HK-47.
Yuna.
Liquid Snake.
Balthier.
Tidus.
Kirby.
Ryu Hayabusa.
Aeris.
Duke Nukem.

Lightning Strikes | Posted 10/21/2007 8:51:05 AM | message detail
Mainly because of how much he flip-flopped after round one. He goes from being almost as strong as the other three COMBINED to losing handily to Riku. Also, yes it was expected AFTER THE BRACKET WAS PUBLISHED but not after round one.

therealmnm | Posted 10/21/2007 9:00:12 AM | message detail
But it wasn't exactly an automatic win for Ryu given that throwing a heavy hitter like Snake into the fray would definitely eat away a good chunk of those votes. With a relatively smaller amount of votes to work with, you shouldn't have expected the Ryu - Riku/Roxas percentage relation to hold up exactly to round 1. Especially with KH's core following on this site.

That's the exact same reason why I took Vincent > Crono. Link's gonna hog so many of the votes that everything under him is fair game. Hell, if Zero has an ultra-hardcore fanbase, he has a slight chance even if Link SFFs away a good chunk of his overall strength.
