This isn't the morning vote anymore (note how Sonic dropped off that last hour), this is the during-school vote, which lasts until ~2:30.

....you people and your terms.


But still, the during-school vote says that L should have a strong second-night vote, and based on the morning vote, he won't die that much during the ASV, right?

So odds are that L-Block/Snake will be fighting each other for four rounds total. If L can hold today, the series will be tied 1-1.

Is this the first time L-Block is acting more or less like a legitimate character in terms of trends? If so, scary stuff.

This could very well come down to rallying. I thought Snake had a chance in that regard, but I'll be too busy watching Survivor to do the deed. Snake needs to put it away within the first few hours of the after school vote.

I'm confident in calling L-Block an absolute guarantee to make the finals. We need to stop thinking Master Chief is invulnerable and start looking at who L-Block is beating right now. Master Chief couldn't accomplish this if Halo 4-6 were released on the day of the match.

TheRye | Posted 11/1/2007 7:31:18 AM | message detail
but anyone else think the I-block would have been stronger?

I don't think so... The I-block is just a linear tetrad, and isn't nearly as recognizable as a distinctly shaped tetrad. Just take a look at the poll on the main page (the picture). The first thing that jumps out at you from the page is the L-Shaped Tetris Block, which is critical in garnering a casual vote. I don't think a simple line would have the same "jump out" factor

YoAriel33 | Posted 11/1/2007 7:33:32 AM | message detail
I agree that I-Block and Square Block would probably be the weakest. Between the other five, the strongest would have probably been the first one to simply make it into the bracket and win the hearts of the people. That's L-Block.

Pfft, a Tetris block is a Tetris block, the jump out factor doesn't change just because one of the square pieces moved to the side.

Master Moltar | Posted 11/1/2007 7:33:58 AM | message detail
Wow, L-Block.

Snake is going to have to consistently cut at L through the day in order to take first. Though for once, Snake didn't fall in the morning, so that's a good sign. If L plans on bleeding all the way through this match, then I wouldn't even count Sonic out at the point. (nah Sonic's screwed)

I'd feel pretty comfortable in taking Snake to win today. Still, L-Block put up one hell of a fight - he's going to hold the lead for more than half the match.

I want answers on why Tetris did so terribly against The Legend of Zelda in 2004. If that wasn't SFF, it shows that Tetris was pathetically weak, and that this L-Block run makes no sense. If it was SFF...L-Block would be in a world of hurt against Link.

Because Tetris doesn't have the joke appeal of L-Block. Remember, Tetris was the higher seed, so underdog votes went to Zelda.

Tetris is pathetically weak- or at least it isn't very strong. People don't like it as much as a game as other games. On the other hand, it appears a lot of people prefer L-Block as a character over characters like Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Also, L-Block is like Sonic. People love the characters, but the series as a whole is weak.

L-Block refuses to surrender, while Squall fights tooth and nail to get Sonic's lead under 100. A lot of great stories in this match.
PortugalTheMann | Posted 11/1/2007 8:48:39 AM | message detail
I still take Sonic > Squall and Sonic > Vincent straight up, even if Squall ends up winning by a significant margin, I know people were bringing this up last night, and I never responded to it. Sonic team has just looked awful in this format, though I guess you could make the argument that they just all got weaker just because of a change in voter demographic, but I'll go with the former.
