Yeah, Bowser is ass in this format and has been looking worse and worse
every year. Luigi is great in this format (Bowser would never have come
close to beating Ganondorf) and seems to increase (or at least kick it
up a notch) every year since 2k5. Bowser>Luigi can happen, but Luigi
has the definite advantage there. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

| For all of the Bowser > Yoshi > Luigi
proponents, remember that those two matches were from 2003 and 2004.
Things have changed since then. It's not ENTIRELY impossible for one of
those things to shift. Besides, Luigi's beaten Bowser in multiway polls
in the past, and Bowser looked like crap in this format last year while
Luigi didn't. Either way, I've gone ahead and thrown away at least two points for the next round because I have Luigi > Bowser. I have a hard time believing Liquid doesn't advance now, and he might even get first place depending on how bad the split is. Of course, Liquid has this tendency to put on a performance that makes absolutely no sense right after he gives a great performance (See: Villains Contest, last year), so I don't guess I'd put Liquid in the third round QUITE yet. Still, he's lookin' good. Kinda hoping Roxas would make a match out of it, but MGS4 is bigger than I thought. And yes, I do attribute a large portion of this to MGS4, not just random overperformance. For being on the site's least owned system, MGS4 held its own in that Pre-GOTY poll not long ago. It's legit, I think. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Currently, Luigi is getting 53.18% on Liquid, 68.61% on Roxas, and 82.40% on Sho. Liquid is getting 65.81% on Roxas and 80.48% on Sho (Sho = Tenpenny, aw yeah). Roxas is getting 68.17% on Sho. Yeah, anyone expecting Sho to get over 10% was kidding themselves. Seriously, Sho is the equivalent of Ultros in TWEWY. He's the guy who's more of the comic relief villain (though he IS a legit threat, unlike Ultros), but he's not the major villain. Neku is going to do much better than he is. At least I hope so. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I trust MGS4 helped Liquid in some fashion but I don't think like this
yet. I want the match's ASV to hit before I really predict
Liquid...though no matter what, he's going to look pretty solid. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Thing is, if this is MGS4 we have to note that while *SLIGHT/NOT SO SLIGHT MGS4 SPOILERS* Liquid's name is prevalent, he's not actually in the game. Big Boss is barely better off either (though depending on the pic he may serve as a Snake proxy which would nullify that). The big "logical" recipients of a boost should be - in order - Snake, Raiden, and Ocelot. Unfortunately, their paths are largely set in stone... --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

that those two matches were from 2003 and 2004. Things have changed
since then. It's not ENTIRELY impossible for one of those things to
shift. Besides, Luigi's beaten Bowser in multiway polls in the past,
and Bowser looked like crap in this format last year while Luigi didn't. Fair enough about how old the matches are, though I think it's hard to find reason to change in the SFF. I know their strengths have varied since then, but within the fanbase it doesn't feel like it's changed much nor is there much reasoning to change in favor of Luigi > Bowser. Also, getting 28.62% against Mewtwo and Toad with Ryu in the poll isn't far from 28.11% against Mudkip and Ganondorf with Vergil in the poll, especially since Toad's probably hurting Bowser much more than Mudkip's hurting Luigi and we've often called into question the loyalty of Ganon's fanbase. I'll remind you as well that the Mario-polls have had Yoshi clearly in first place both times (2001 and 2006), but that didn't stop Bowser from smashing him in 2003. The match is gonna be ugly though. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

A few things about Luigi/Bowser and their fight for second next round <_<: Luigi beat Ganondorf, yes... but I'm pretty certain that he would not have done so if he wasn't saddled with Bacondorf. Bowser is weaker, which helps Luigi, but he won't be saddled with any detriment like that. The SFF doesn't have to shift dramatically for Luigi to have the win there. I'm starting to think the totem pole on the (hardcore) intra-Nintendo fanbase goes Yoshi > Luigi > Bowser, while the (casual) extra-Nintendo fanbase goes Bowser > Yoshi > Luigi. With the site shift since 2k3/2k4, Bowser's positioning could have definitely been compromised. ...but if the site's demographics have changed yet AGAIN to reflect a more extra-Nintendo fanbase, that should only help Bowser... except that fanbase is much more likely to defect to another non-Ninty character. Fortunately, Liquid and Phoenix/Deckard aren't that alluring. If Shadow is Nintendo, suddenly Bowser's performance in the last contest is looking a WHOLE lot better. I have Luigi there, but I'm slightly favoring Bowser right now. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Since this one is done, what does everyone think about tomorrow's match? How well with Bowser have to do to look good for Round 2? What are you expecting from the others, Deckard especially? I think 45%+ for Bowser would be a good enough showing, but I'm not sure what I expect from Deckard. I originally had him real low, but I see other people putting him in like the mid-high teens and low 20's, so now I'm re-thinking that. Geno shouldn't do too badly, a bit worse than he did last year probably. Phoenix will be interesting to see. He did well in Round 1, but completely died in Round 2 with real competition. This is like...half-competition. --- Moltar Status: augh Liquid/Luigi/Roxas/Sho - Bracket: Luigi > Liquid - Vote: Liquid (8/16) |

Eh, there's bound to be some overlap between SMRPG stars Bowser and Geno, so I wouldnt hand 50% to Bowser on a silver platter. That said, he might still get there because I don't see Deckard Cain finishing at 15%. Phoenix might be a bit lower than 20% as well. --- SSBB FC: 4425-1156-3590 NOMINATE KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA! |

Unfortunately, their paths are largely set in stone... Ocelot > Tifa > Kratos Believe. Luigi beat Ganondorf, yes... but I'm pretty certain that he would not have done so if he wasn't saddled with Bacondorf. He still got pretty close to Ganondorf in the second round without the pic disadvantage for the Bacondorf. He might have been able to pull it off anyway. I'd wager if Mudkip hindered anyone, he hindered Luigi more. That's pretty much baseless speculation, but that's the best kind! Also, strange to see that Roxas is doing about the same here as he did last year with Hayabusa/Riku/Haseo. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

He's one of the main characters of the series. That frequently seems logical, but I can't think of a time when that's ever true. Despite being from the same series and having the same fanbase and stuff, Deckard and Diablo are going to look pretty different strength-wise because Diablo is... Diablo and Deckard is an old dude from Diablo.
