We're not even two hours in yet? Feels like three days. Freaking Frog I swear...

I made the Wander pic, and while I have no excuses for the horrible background, there really are no pics of the guy.

I realize that. I didn't mean any offense to you, just saying it's a bad picture.

Frog/Ganondorf/KOS-MOS/Neku - Bracket: Ganondorf > Frog - Vote: Ganondorf (26/36)

Look how far we've come from GFNW to Gordon being favored over a Final Fantasy character, and the icon of one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the past couple years.

Balthier got blown out by Ada Wong. Being favored over him isn't exactly a big deal.

Demyx is better than Axel.
Gaddswell | Posted 9/26/2008 10:50:25 PM | message detail
Yeah, feels like the match has been going on for more than 2 hours. That first hour was great!

I didn't take offense Moltar, I was just pointing out how pic-screwed Wander gets.

And really, why a brown background? What was I thinking? Ugh.

Neku is mounting a total awesome comeback

Dude. He totally is. At least the pic was worth something in this match!

I liked this match better when there was no picture and Ganondorf wasn't falling like a pig down a flight of stairs.

How the hell did Xenosaga sell a million units? It was $20 here three months after release!

...wait, did I just answer my own question?
MegatokyoEd | Posted 9/26/2008 10:57:17 PM | message detail
Neku is absolutely owning it up now. If he follows Sho's trends he could actually cut KOS-MOS a bit during the day.

Well, with a name like "Neku Sakuraba", as satai said earlier, in this case it's about recognizability rather than the image like it is with KOS-MOS or Altair.

Neku's still fodder, no doubt about that, but I'll give credit where credit's due. He's doing a fair bit better here than I'd anticipated.

Huh, I figured KOS-MOS had more Board 8 bracket support (at least judging by all that yelling we did earlier). Only ~8.45% of the Gurus have her advancing.

Sure, he's fodder, but let me have my moment dammit. :P

If he ends up hitting 15%, I'll be well satisfied.

Neku's going to beat KOS-MOS


totally

he'll just keep gaining all day

end up somewhere around 27% or something

I guess he'd beat Frog then too

15% is totally possible if Neku goes up from the daytime like Sho did... he's already pulling 14%s regularly.

Eh if KOS-MOS could actually string cuts together long enough to make up ground I'd throw this match into question again. If Frog has < 3 digit lead come morning I like KOS-MOS's chances but other than that forget it

greatone10 | Posted 9/27/2008 1:49:13 AM | message detail
Frog has a 1900 vote lead. Not happening. KOS-MOS is not a day vote beast, so I doubt she's gonna be making 2000 vote swings at any time.

So when does CTDS come out again?
there appears to be zero hype for it and nothing to boost Frog from the looks of this match.
FFIV DS did strictly nothing for cecil so are DS games just crap when it comes to boosting?

Alright, looks like Frog did well during the dead zone- didn't lose any hours to KOS-MOS, and he's still gaining here now that we're into the weekend morning vote. I think we're looking at Frog's largest win ever. I'm pleasantly surprised that no pictures appears to have helped Ganondorf more than anyone.

Why would that be surprising that the one with the most name recognizability would benefit most from the lack of pictures?
