There is no MGS4 boost. This is a Nintendo de-boost thanks to Brawl flopping. Who cares about MGS4 besides die-hard MGS fans? --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=55 |

Zelda is the biggest fraud after Ganondorf. Sonic characters may be
basically fodder now, but no way does he lose to a huge fraud like
Zelda. I will sig-bet somebody over Zelda/Knuckles. If you'll recall, I am a man of my word. I always go through with my bets --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=55 |

Huh. So, checking my bracket to see if I had Luigi > Bowser next round, I get good news and bad news. The good news: I have Liquid! The bad news: ...in second. ...under Bowser. Any hope of that...? |

But Luigi is one of the cool Nintendo characters. =( So do what I do and consider Luigi to be greater or equal to his past self, and for Liquid to have just boosted from MGS4 here. ... look do you want Snake > Cloud or not yo --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I think most people had Luigi in the high 30s. Relative to our
expectations, Liquid has sapped 100% of his impressive excess from
Roxas's bony ass (ew what). --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Yes, I am a Luigi fan, and this isn't a disappointment. You're all
acting like Liquid isn't going to curl up and die when the day rolls
around. He'll make it look better during the night, but the day will
erase that and more. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Well, maybe not overperforming, but he's certainly not disappointing. He's bleeding percentage during the power hour and will probably lose his lead overnight. How is that not disappointing? --- *lurks* |

Though one thing for sure, Liquid advancing next round is looking pretty good. I was thinking about taking it, but figured he'd be too weak. Damn you MGS4 |

Liquid collpased in Round 2 last year. He does not have a hardcore fanbase. He could very well collapse again next round. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=55 |

PartOfYourWorld (#369) This. Most oracle folks have Luigi pinned between 36% and 41%. Roxas was predicted to be in the low 20's. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

He's bleeding percentage during the power hour It's not really a "power hour" anymore... it's much better for Ninty than the true night, of course, but it's no longer the microcosm of the day that it used to be. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Like I said, who cares? Luigi/Bowser were always going to LFF each
other in round 2 with Luigi coming off worse. Unless Luigi is dominant
enough to prove to me otherwise or crap enough to show me that Bowser
is going to ream him utterly, I don't care. Though I'd love it if Liquid wins because he is a phenomenon. --- How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? "You're...the ****!" - Otacon to Snake, MGS4 |

Although the Power Hour being weaker and weaker for Nintendo characters
is probably empirical evidence of them fading at least a little. Heck
last year they even had a Brawl update mini-surge every night to
complement it. :P --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

What? Are you guys serious? BOWSER wins LFF against Luigi? Bowser will get hurt more by LFF. Luigi beat out Ganonfraud (Although I guess anybody could to that). Bowser lost to Ryu in Round 2 because Bowser has no hardcore fanbase. Nobody likes Bowser. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=55 |

Okay, I want to make this clear before I say something someone disagrees with. Again. Isn't Luigi the heavy favorite to do better than Bowser next round? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that Bowser is going to be on the top end of the SFF chain in that one. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |
