True or False: Mega Man would SFF L-block into the ground (considering both as sort of Nintendo characters). Does the answer change if Mega Man is replaced by Samus, Mario, or Link? |

Chief won't have his massive after school vote tomorrow given that its
a Saturday. However, that means it will come a lot earlier... just not
as massively. As long as Snake can get the lead to about 3000 by the
time 8-9 rolls around, this one's over. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88. Link > Sephiroth Proud supporter of trash like France and Arsenal. |

Is it just me,or L Block is getting stronger with each round? From losing to Kirby to beating Snake and now getting a 5000 lead over him (last round it was only 1500 or so) |

| Looks like my theory of L-Block slowing down this round is way off. I am still pissed about this. Not when he(it) is succeeding at the expense of Dante and Snake. Enough is enough, Link needs to put the hammer down tomorrow. L-Block just may be the biggest challenge he has ever faced >_> |
| Mumei | Posted 11/3/2007 12:28:45 AM | message detail |
| For some reason, I just can't comprehend the idea
of a character, such that it is, that has never gotten into a contest
managing to beat Link - format or no format. I'm assuming that ~39% on Cloud / Sephiroth / Samus is more impressive than 41.27% and plummeting on Snake / Dante / Master Chief, but it just seems to get stronger for... some reason. --- "I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived" - Sensei |

L hasn't dipped below 40% yet...and his gains are still in the mid to high 30s...

| L-Block won this match in 5 minutes. Ain't no character going to come back from 5000+ votes down even on L-Block except Link and Cloud IMO. |

| Oh, its clear his winning, but its just that the
morning vote is always the time he takes his biggest dips. If he
manages to continue strong in the morning and still win out, we will
have created a monster capable of challenging the Elf. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

People are so crazy over L-Block that they aren't realizing that Master Chief is gonna come back with the day vote. HEARD HERE FIRST. That way, Cloud has absolutely NO ONE leeching off of him, and Link has a potentially HUGE leech in the L-Block --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88.

... what the hell. Uh... if anyone can pull this off, it's Master Chief...!! 40% updates with the day will finish this block off nicely! Seriously though, Snake is not looking good at all to finish second in my opinion. Having this absurd frontloaded block is going to make Master Chief's day vote balloon much worse than usual. Come on, Chief, epic 9000 vote comeback. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Hmm, no one mentioned that Snake made his first cut 30 minutes ago and that he's finally started cutting consistently. --- Who the hell do you think you are getting off being so egotistical like that? - hochiminh155 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/unown_pnoi/brawlhypeclubheader.jpg |

Like I said earlier, Lopen, Chief's day vote won't get to balloon too
much because it's a weekend. The perk is that it's going to start a lot
earlier, though. So it won't have to. You have about 3 more hours of
Snake increasing to deal with though, which at the current rate, will
put him ahead by 3,000 at let's say.... 8:30 est? 15.5 hours then for Chief to cut 3,000 votes. I think Chief can do it, but things are so ****ed up with L-Block here that I don't even know. --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88.

I cannot believe no one has mentioned vote stuffing yet. I mean, okay,
I could see some votes from rallying... but for chrissakes this match
is 5000 votes ahead of yesterday's. Yesterday's which featured Link and Cloud, two huge vote draws.

What are the odds for the final match on victory? I'd say Link - 65% Cloud - 25% L-Block - 9.99999% 4th guy - 0.11111% --- "ExTha, bandwagon sports fan since '88. Link > Sephiroth Proud supporter of trash like France and Arsenal. |

Because subscribers clearly check every day. And turnout would easily be so high. I'd be surprised if that advertising even got 500 votes, to be quite honest. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Did you honestly think that Chief was going to win here, Lopen. Especially after seeing L-Block and Snake last round?
