the thing is would CjayC have ever accepted the L-block?

*shakes fist at his own bracket*
Tarrot | Posted 11/4/2007 1:22:30 AM | message detail
CJay wouldn't have. He specifically addressed L in one of his posts on "joke nominations", saying we got Cats already. Bacon eased up on the rule when he took over, thus, L got in, in what has to be the perfect time for him. I mean, everything this contest has been set up for L to succeed. First round, he benefited from his competition being Laharl and Nathan, and owned both of them. Second round, he benefited from Kirby/DK SFF/LFF and was able to advance. By this time his innate strength picked up, and the bandwagon really got rolling. With this support, he beat Kratos and Riku, and this is when people I think first seriously thought L had a chance to get to the finals, especially with his consistency and how well he held up against Snake. The rest has been history, as that early cushion allowed him to ride into the finals with relative ease, and might just make him the man who redefines Cinderella. Add onto all of this that this is his first contest, that he managed to get into the contest where he would have his best chance of advancing, (and for the record, I doubt he gets 40%, much less beats any of the NN or upper tiers in a 1v1 match) and that he's got the entire internet rallying for him to pull off this upset, right now it is L's time to shine.

Also, on a personal note, I find it interest just how close L, Cloud, and Link are. While L's been steadily increasing his lead, it seems like Cloud and Link are stuck in a quagmire about the 2000 vote barrier between them. L probably can get up to 7000 or 7500 before Link starts to take over, and then its a matter of can Cloud and Snake weight Link enough so that he fails to catch L today.

I'm assuming that this will be the first and last contest for characters such as L-Block. It was fun, but I really don't want to see three or four Tetris blocks (you just know at least one more will have enough nominations to make it in) in a 64 character tournament.

I'd love a Link comeback, even though I stand firmly on L's side. a 6000 vote comeback would trump any rooting I could possibly do, and would be a wild end to a contest.

but yeah, no chance in hell.

GameFAQs Character Battle 2007: Vote for L-Block!
Where there's smoke, they pinch back.
YoAriel33 | Posted 11/4/2007 1:56:01 AM | message detail
L-Block has nearly the exact same percentage he had yesterday, and Link has nearly the exact same percentage Snake had. Link obviously has the better morning/day vote, but for the love of Betsy, Snake lost by over 13,000 votes. As long as Link finishes closer than we where he is now, I'll consider it a success.

As for L, I can't see him finishing at nearly 35% again. He might be getting an ever-increasing push, but there's just something about Link and Cloud (who both have great day votes) working together that's a bit scary. It almost makes him/it seem like the villain.

They've reached a stalemate in Link's bad hours. >__>

From the looks of things Link's going to be spending the whole day cutting him and would you put 6000 votes beyond him if he's cutting for that long?

this is actually L's worst time by far. he's fairly decent in the day, and will probably increase on Link easier come daytime.

Well, I still think L-Block's a bit too enigmatic to pin him down with traditional trends, especially when he's up against our two strongest guys. Heh, it feels weird just calling them that when looking at the percentages. Heck, we may get our 1v1 match tomorrow, and I wouldn't bat an eyelash if L-Block won again. At the very least, I'd envision him/it giving Link a much tougher fight than most of the Noble Nine.

it's enigmatic, yeah. but no one will ever deny its first hour, and it's tough to deny that this is when Snake ripped him (it) a new one.

Speaking of which, let's just throw this out there:

Assume we get our L-Block/Link 1v1 match, and L-Block actually wins it. Where do you then stand on the block's future? Should he be thrown in the next bracket (assuming he has the nominations, which we're all sure he will), isolate him to the post-bracket "bonus matches" like we've done with Link and Cloud, or keep him out all together?

The most sensible option is to keep L-Block out. It retires as a champion and will be recognised all round GameFAQs. A legacy that will be passed down. It would be horrible when the next contest rolls around, L-Block doesn't make it to the quarters. =/
transience | Posted 11/4/2007 2:24:44 AM | message detail
I posted about this earlier. if we don't get a 1v1 match, keeping out L of a 1v1 contest would be a terrible mistake because it'd be the most debatable character ever. if it goes and loses to Link, same deal. who knows how much of that voting block is static.

if it beats Link? well, I think you could still put it in. you're not going to recreate what is currently happening. that's why I think Starcraft will be a lot weaker should we see it again - you just can't duplicate 2004.

I understand the argument of retiring it for our sanity, but it's not going to be able to do this again. this is a unique situation, I think. I mean, it lost to Kirby once upon a time.

I don't know what I want out of this. Link to make a match of this would be great but if the block doesn't win that might be excuse enough to include it next year. >_>

PokemonPatriarch | Posted 11/4/2007 2:53:36 AM | message detail
This is the EXACT same thing that's playing out as the Snake/Block match from last round: Block gains a ridiculously large early lead, Block begins to fail as the morning goes. Block finally then bleeds heavy percentage, but still wins due to its sizable early gains.

*sigh*
