Hell no can you take Lucario > Marth next round after seeing this. If a single person was taking that I'd be floored.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Altair > Duke goes down... with little faith in any combination other than Lucario finishing dead last.

Altair > Marth is not terribly unlikely next round. I'm thinkin Altair > Duke, but it could happen.

At this point, I'd say its a given Altair makes round 3. He'll easily get through the nintendo SFF imo over Duke.
transience | Posted 9/20/2008 9:42:41 PM | message detail
I'd say Altair, Duke and Marth are all in the argument for placing. Altair seems like a lock with Duke and Marth fighting for second, with Marth having a better chance if Isaac places instead of Lucario.

but uh who knows I hate division 1

Altair > Marth is what I'm thinking right now. Looking at the way Altair is going here, I think he will take Duke's casual support.

I think Altair's four-pack is slightly stronger... but you have to remember the possibility of Zack getting hurt and Isaac/Lucario splitting.

Issac/Lucario/Guybrush or Cecil/Jade/Wario.

Who's tougher? If you say the later I can't really see Altair > Zack, if it's the former, Altair could still be hindered by Duke's presence enough that Zack still wins should he be there. If Marth makes it though... oh yes.

I'm just gonna root for Altair > Marth next round for epic Zack/Altair battle.

Damnit

Why is no one even CONSIDERING Zidane

No one did it during the bracket period but they had good reason

Now he impressed and beat Shadow and still everyone thinks Zack>Zidane is a foregone conclusion

I mean really Zack has a small advantage but come on guys

Can't really say who's is stronger, but Zack's win is the more impressive of the two. Another Square character in the poll, Wario being unique against a split Nintendo vote and Altair being unique -- and Lucario not getting anywhere near his expectations -- should favor Zack a good bit.

Easy way to look at is to stick Zack in this poll. He's probably rocking this harder than Altair.

ugh

I saw Marth / Niko (heh) / Lucario / Altair coming, and I thought "No way both Ninty chars make it through"

...then I thought "But I just can't see Altair taking first"

I liked this better last year when I was too late to make a bracket

I can't see Marth advancing with Lucario holding him back.

I really thought he'd be a cut above all the other guys when I took him to the division finals.

well Zidane still wouldnt do anything like that when he was behind Ness

can you imagine Zidane getting 44% in anything?

It's very hard to picture Zidane scoring nearly 45% in that poll. Sure, Wario may look even now than he did three days ago, but Zack still sapped Cecil like maple syrup. Could Zidane have managed that? And now think about where the SFF between Zack and Zidane will go...

Zidane doesn't have to get 44% in that match. He just needs to have a more dedicated fanbase (which he has shown) while Link gobbles up the %.

Uh, obviously Altair will be advancing to Round 3. That much should have been obvious from the get-go. The real question lies in the Altair/Zack battle. Zack is probably slightly stronger and would win one-on-one. Altair has strength comparable to Kratos. This is a fact. I've said it before. No more denying facts I have presented to you. Characters like Kratos, Marcus, Ryu H., MC and Altair thrive in this format. This will allow Altair to make it through Round 3. Zack will be humbled next round. Zack would get around 65% on Wario. But remember that Wario is fodder. Shadow got that on Wario and Shadow is also fodder. I'm not saying that Zack is fodder but he's got strength around Rikku's level.

I recently played Golden Sun and didn't think Isaac was all that great, and I even voted for Lucario at the start..

And I'm -still- rooting for the man with the hand.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/20/2008 9:53:39 PM | message detail
Beating Wario by 11% > barely beating a weak Shadow that was being SFFd into the ground by Link.

Then again, I'm wary to call anything a foregone conclusion any more, but if Zidane gets out of this division, I'm closing my account and leaving this dump forever.
ZFS | Posted 9/20/2008 9:53:42 PM | message detail
All Zack did was beat up on a Wario who we know now barely increased at all. Impressive, but not as great as we thought.

Can't see Zidane gettin' close to what Zack did. Not even a matter of whether or not there was a Brawl boost. And when it comes to SFF, it's FFVII vs. FFIX, regardless of the significance of the roles. Just can't see Zidane hanging against Zack. I'm not expecting anything close there.

and that is the possibility i find extremely low. to think Zack will suffer like Shadow; no, GREATER than what Shadow suffered while not sharing much in common with Link than Shadow did is kind of grabbing for straws here.

Zidane needs to gobble up some of the blind final fantasy support Zack got, and Link needs to gobble up some of the apathetic votes Zack got for Zidane to win that match. Zack should be the clear favorite, no doubt. I'd put Zidane's chances around 20%.

If we're arguin' dedicated fanbases, it doesn't get much more dedicated than FFVII.
