I just can't wrap my head around the idea of L-Block beating Link. Link
would be doing at least 10% better now. He would be doing almost the
entire day (besides the first night) doing at or close to what L-Block
did in the first hour. The amount he'd need to boost in one day is just... I can't see it. --- "I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived" - Sensei |

| I'm torn. On one hand, it would be AWESOME if
L-Block won and beat Link. On the other, him winning means that hoch
would win the Guru contest on a mere technicality, which just isn't
justice. Help me decide who I must vote for tomorrow. --- Support 2-HOURS-LATE-MAN!!!! (darn sig bets) http://danielyoon10.deviantart.com/ |

I don't know if this is something typical of these contest but here it is anyway: solid snake: round 1 : 73,706 round 2: 60,407 div finls: 46,201 quat fnl: 44,489 semi fn: 30,672(might end up getting 8k more by the end) prediction for final: ~35,000 seems to me he has been losing steam this entire contest, but I guess that could be explain by stronger competition. --- If you read this signature, then you have wasted your time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEsZMvrq-I |

At this rate it could even be funnier to see Link win. The board
actually expects a L-block victory now, and would probably start a riot
or something if Link still won. --- Moo Wii Code: 6251 7149 4961 5489 |

Well, I made a topic mocking L-block supporters and now I feel better about myself. I'm quite torn on who to vote for tomorrow, though. On one hand it would be pretty great if L-block won, but it would make the contest a sham at the same time.... I'll probably vote for Solid Snake. --- If you fail at life you try suicide.

L-Block is our saviour from Link or Cloud winning this ridiculous contest YET AGAIN! Mario or Pac-Man are the only 2 characters worthy of winning a contest like this, and if it's L-Block that needs to fix the sham that is CLOUD, freaking CLOUD, the most useless, emotionless, bland, and blocky (yes, more blocky than friggen L-BLOCK!) character ever. Or Link, who I love, but definitely is NOT the best character ever, from winning this contest... then go L-Block! |

On the other, him winning means that hoch would win the Guru contest on a mere technicality, which just isn't justice. Help me decide who I must vote for tomorrow. EC wins the guru if we get any result but Cloud > Link. and even *if* we get that result, no guru is going to get behind some joke alt.

Yeah, that would be pretty great. After all their "omg link wins
every contest" whining, Link winning again would be the ultimate slap
in the face. But doesn't that prove their point? After all, I'm sure the majority of L-Block supporters just want to see another winner besides Link (or Cloud, if you look at them both). At least, that's how I feel. It'd be nice to not see another boring outcome for a change. >_< --- Pokemon Diamond FC: 0215-7322-4653 SHAPED LIKE A BOOT TO KICK YOUR ASS! VOTE L-BLOCK! |

has ever seen. VOTE L-Block! |

Also, as impressive as L-Block is today, both Cloud and Link would be close to 45% here, not 35% I dunno about 45%, but even if it were true, those traditional comparisons don't work with L-Block. Losing to Kirby -> Killing Kirby Losing to Kratos -> Killing Kratos Losing to Snake -> Barely beating Snake -> Killing Snake He's getting stronger with each match, and tomorrow is the grand finale, and everyone knows it.
