Speaking of Phoenix, his was the latest example of a match where someone came close to placing, but never actually led.

Phoenix > Bomberman the whole 24 hours!

Mewtwo would be winning handily here IMO.

I concur, which is why I thought Lucario would come first <_<

I continue to be baffled by Lucario's inability to put away Isaac.

So I guess everyone pretty much agrees now that Brawl hasn't really had much effect at all on character strength?

Not sure yet, but we certainly haven't seen any evidence to the contrary.

I didn't think Lucario would be quite on Mewtwo's level... or Pikachu's... (which one of those is higher, anyway?), but I figured he'd be enough to do away with Isaac...and Altair... especially after Niko being ugh.

Guys, you heavily underestimate the day vote. Lucario's got this in the bad, suckahs!

Gotta disagree on this. We really don't have enough info on this yet based on the past 4 matches. I wager that without Brawl, Guybrush would probably be nipping Lucario's heels here.

By the end of the day we need a Brawl screenshot where Isaac is Move-ing Lucario off the stage, with Marth standing out of the way, taunting.
transience | Posted 9/20/2008 11:55:08 PM | message detail
I'd never heard of Lucario before Brawl, and while I'm not exactly the norm, I imagine his main source of strength is indeed Brawl.

I disagree that Brawl has had no impact. We don't really know what Wario's strength was last year, and Lucario is new. Marth's performance indicates a Brawl boost, IMO.

Pikachu is definitely stronger than Mewtwo in the contests. It was Pikachu that managed to make it up to round 4 last year before losing.

15 votes left.

I know Isaac's not bad with the day, but how big a lead would Isaac need to keep Lucario's better day vote from taking 2nd back?

Getting further doesn't necessarily make you stronger. Mewtwo had to deal with Bowser and Ryu in the first round, and wasn't very far from Bowser's percentage...

Does it? I don't think Marth did poorly last year, and he was up against SFF and much tougher competition.

Lucario should outdo Issac in the day but it could be diluted because Altair is going to slaughter with the day vote. 42% is quite likely.

Now I can finally get my two points for correctly placing Isaac in my bracket. Assuming Isaac can stay ahead.

Hail Lucario.

No. I require Isaac to take second so I get my two points. For once, I actually get points on a pick that a huge majority of Board 8 didn't imagine would occur.

I say there's a possible chance of Lucario coming back with the morning and day vote, like what Marth did yesterday.
