Zidane extends his lead nicely, but Link is slowing down much too soon- how did Luke gain in percentage?

Oh, and since we have a boring match on our hands, is anybody up for a sig bet on Midna/Axel Steel?
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/18/2008 9:19:58 PM | message detail
This isn't even Link being a black hole.

There's plenty of percentage to go around, at least at this point.

Shadow could still win, but just like Wario nobody can ever nominate his black ass again

...

it's okay I can say that

And as much as I hate to agree with hochi, Nintendo hasn't looked impressive at all. I'm glad I kinda bet against a lot of Nintendo horses in close matches.
HaRRicH | Posted 9/18/2008 9:20:50 PM | message detail
Guys, don't forget that Shadow may benefit from the ASV. I think he's been weaker with it than other Sonic characters, but he's still okay and I've pretty certain Zidane has been bad with it against Crono and his match last year (going by memory on all that, correct me if I'm wrong).

If Shadow loses though, man, there goes pretty much my entire division barring the next eight characters...and those aren't outcomes I want to bet on.

this is kind of a tossup. Shadow has a hell of an afterschool vote. Zidane drops hard.

but Zidane's got a sweet night vote ahead of him, and... yeah. my bracket is beyond shot here, I love it.

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 9/18/2008 9:21:41 PM | message detail
This match is still up in the air. Zidane isn't going to be staying around the same percentage that he got against Alucard/Liquid/Ness with Link in the poll. Just depends on whether Shadow plummets as well.
Team Rocket Elite | Posted 9/18/2008 9:22:16 PM | message detail
So who else do we have that looked great in 2003 that's due for a major ass kicking exposure?

Well if you go by the top characters in the 2k3 Extrapolated Standings, you've got the Noble Nine at the top and they have pretty much proven their worth. Next is Magus (who was technically 9th in the standings) who got Knuckles'd. Then Ganondorf (who is technically quite strong but got obliterated by Link in 2k4). Then Shadow who is currently losing to Zidane. Next is is Tidus who got Pikachu'd and probably other things. Which means Zero is up next. =D

Shadow's day vote will be stunted, though. Link SFF anyone?

Zidane is slowing on his gains. Shadow is still in this without a doubt, but he better hope Zidane is slow with these gains.

Link is underperfoming by about 8%. I told you Brawl hurt him.

What kind of expectations did you have for him? I think most rational people expected between 60 and 63, and he'll get that with the day vote.

I have Axel

And all the ASV in the world won't help Shadow once the Square night vote kicks in. IIRC, Zidane was above 20% last year until the day vote came, and that's saying a lot considering he was against an MGS character and Alucard.

Zidane's gains are only going to get stronger as the night goes on. This is still prime bracket-voting time, and will until 1 EST or so. I think.

Then Shadow who is currently losing to Zidane. Next is is Tidus who got Pikachu'd and probably other things. Which means Zero is up next. =D

Personally, I think Ganondorf lost his credibility as an NN breaker when he completely jobbed to Vincent and crapped out last year. Zero already blew it when he lost to Luigi, so who's after that?

And Tidus lost all credibility when he got creamed by Kirby. In hindsight, him getting pimp slapped by Pikachu last year shouldn't have been that surprising.
Master Moltar | Posted 9/18/2008 9:25:31 PM | message detail
alright guys seriously shadow is going to come back just calm down he'll end up above zidane and with 30%

If Zidane can increase on Shadow for the first hour, he should be able to keep it up until the morning hits. It wasn't until 4 AM that Rikku was able to pass Knuckles last year, and she managed a 500 vote lead before mid morning struck and she fell behind. Zidane could have a fairly hefty lead to protect.

Mustache...and green...
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/18/2008 9:27:33 PM | message detail
Once again, all the Sega morning vote in the world won't help you if you're down 3000 votes.

Then again, Rikku was leading Knuckles last year. Shadow certainly isn't out of it yet, but I think Zack leaving this division is now a foregone conclusion.

I hate you so much Shadow

so much

this is worse than when I got 100% completion in Shadow the Hedgehog

this is worse than when I drove a car through a solid wall and fell into a random abyss of glitch in Sonic 360

it's even worse than the time Shadow failed me in that contest match I bet him on - WAIT RRRAGGHH
