The worst part is that Shadow had a great power hour in both matches last contest. I can only imagine what Zidane's going to do to him with the night vote.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/18/2008 9:37:13 PM | message detail
If Zidane can consistently get 30 vote updates from now till morn, Shadow has no chance of coming back. Not with Link in the poll.

...And then he has an update like that. Bah! Be consistent in your asskicking, Zidane!

On the plus side, at least I get to see him lay the Zackdown on the winner next round.
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/18/2008 9:37:56 PM | message detail
woo two match determinations

(also if we presume Shadow's Nintendo that means he has a perfectly good reason for getting destroyed)

Still, I stand by my Nintendo falling argument, even if I think Link is going to shoot a pretty-large Master Sword-sized hole in it come morning.

I think I speak for lots of us here when I say that we also hate Shadow.

We just thought, in this instance, he was our best bet.

Now we hate him even more.

I thought he was the best bet. The only reason I'm not going to become BT-lite for a day or two is because I know my pick had little to do with logic.

The only reason I gloated last year was because of all the flack people were giving me about Pikachu.

And yo, so sig bet is on for Axel/Midna?

I feel really good about that one, because I always get one match every year that I say is painfully obvious one way that goes completely against Board 8 reason. Ness/CJ, Ocelot/Pac, Warcraft/GTA and Fenix/Kefka. This just feels like that match for this year.

Luke's fanbase doesn't hate him, but Jade is definitely more liked. This was supposed to be another Auron/Tidus or Kratos Aurion/Lloyd thing!

HaRRicH | Posted 9/18/2008 9:45:02 PM | message detail
Though I think Shadow's still going to win, I do think Zidane's now a better choice to take down Zack than Shadow. It's looking pretty clear that Link is hurting him some way or Shadow has dropped...either of which sucks for him to beat Zack. Meanwhile, Zack may be able to compete with Zack over FF-loyalty; Zidane was the lead of FF9, Zack was the lead of CC:FF7 and had a tiny cameo in FF7...

...I mean, Zack's gotta be the favorite either way, but unless Shadow goes nuts from here on out I would think Zidane has a better chance to shut Zack down.

Dude, Zack almost beat Wario by 10%. Zidane needed LinkSFF to beat Shadow. Whichever of these 2 losers gets to the second round, they're going to get smoked. Either Zack is going to SFF Zidane to oblivion, or Link is going to dod the same to Shadow. The only one that can stop him is if Niko ends up being a powerhouse.

Wow Zidane.

Well, I dunno... honestly I'm liking Zidane on the square totem pole against Zack, but if Shadow pulls it out against Zidane I've gotta go with Zack right now based on this.

smitelf | Posted 9/18/2008 9:49:31 PM | message detail
I don't see any reason for Zidane to have gained strength in the past year, and no reason for Shadow to have declined this much. Link is SFFing the crap out of him somehow. Despite Biolizard claiming this to be obvious, I admit to being surprised; some SFF could have been expected, but Link and Shadow aren't even in the same genre. If Mario were in Link's place, I'd be much less surprised by Shadow being so crippled. I suppose Sega = Nintendo now in terms of what to expect SFF-wise.

Zidane gains 45 and Link finally hits 60%. Zidane will probably have around a 2000 vote lead by morning- I'm optimistic about his chances of placing.

I would call Zidane the favorite if he had a 1300 vote lead. Shadow is *not* this weak; there's SFF going on here, and SFFd character have a hell of a time coming back.
