This is just...I don't understand Gordon Freeman. Does anyone
understand Gordon Freeman? This guy lost to Duke Nukem last year and
now he's standing toe-to-toe with Scorpion. Early in the day or not,
this is WTF-worthy. Orange Box came out since then. The game that single-handedly brought Half-Life to console gamers (way more successful than the earlier ports). Gordon's strength is much mpore similar to his round 2 status. --- "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 |

| The past three times I've checked the poll,
Gordon's lead has been 11, 24, and 20. Sure is good to see Scorpion
making SUCH an effort to win this (and get me points hint hint Scorpion
get on it) --- A season of our stolen youth shall teach old hearts to break ~Primordial-The Coffin Ships |

Looks like Gordon is going to start taking off now that the night vote is coming into swing. Or Scorpion is going to take it all back next update because that's just how this match is. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

If only polls still started at 1am like they used to... I think
Balthier would be making this seem epic in the next few hours if he
wasn't behind by 1400 votes. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Ya know, Gamefaqs continues to baffle me. I can see Gordon placing top two, I can't see him beating Scorpion, but I can handle this. Yes, I had Scorpion>Balthier, but regardless. How the heck does Zidane advance and Balthier doesn't? I'd say, I'll refuse to vote for Balthier ever again, but that was what I said with Zidane, and naturally he accounts for one of my 3 (now 4) red stripes. Oh well, I had a good run, not losing a match since the Kefka>Niko disaster. --- Detroit Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup Champions! |

There are two possible reasons for Gordon doing so well right now: 1. Gordon has a good night vote. 2. Scorpion has a horrible night vote (even worse than Gordon's). If both of those were the case here, Gordon would have a much larger lead on Scorpion right now. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Gordon's night vote is pretty impressive. Scorpion's is decent too, though. Scorpion should maul him when the sun comes up though. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

I'm not analyzing this - or round 2 - til we get there, cause a lot needs to be seen (Fox and Sub in particular) --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

This match is really making me wish I didn't change Vincent > Falco
to Vincent > Scorp. Of course, Gordon could advance twice and screw
me over anyway with the way this contest is going. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Ironically, this is about where I would have Gordon pegged, though,
with relation to Balthier. Which makes me think even more that this is
all Scorpion... but why? That's so weird. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Heh all of a sudden my Vincent > Falco upset looks really good. But the real stuffer here is Balthier, how the hell is he still this close to Scorp? --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

Which would be quite funny for two reasons. A. He advances farther than Fox. B. Sprite round Falco will be epically bad. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Still thinking the Big Daddy sapping Scorpion's casual vote might be
the problem here. Totally the opposite of what we were thinking but who
knows. Think I'm with Tranny... gonna wanna see Sub-Zero before I throw
any real theories out there. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

In other news, Falco's strength is getting me pumped for Meta Knight putting an end to the L-Block! --- ExThaNemesis is the man. |

An another note, and we've probably done this, but who would win head to head between Sub-Zero and Scorpion? Subby I'm thinking. --- ExThaNemesis is the man. |

I considered Falco pretty hard myself, but I definitely wouldn't say
he's got it in the bag or anything. might stick with Scorpion there, no
idea what's happening right now. Gordon did get pretty close to Sub last year so who knows. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Sub-Zero. --- Kept you waiting, huh? |

Hopefully Meta will not fall too far from Kirby. If anyone is hiding
any unseen strength from last year, it's Meta-Knight who kept facing
Nintendo characters and Sephiroth. Combine that with possible Brawl
boost and maybe he can make it respectable with Ryu. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

I think Sub-Zero would kill him. Imagine this as a GameFAQs poll: Which color do you prefer? Blue Yellow There's Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion in a nutshell. Maybe give Scorpion a more respectable showing for yelling out cool stuff, but it still wouldn't be close. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Hasn't Sub-Zero always been the favourite over Scorpion? I can see
Scorpion being indirect stronger, but in a poll Subby would at least
double him. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

Nah yo, it'd come down to who has the better fatalities and the superior moves in MK... And even then it's 50/50 because GET OVER HERE and tugging off his mask and spitting fire is just as awesome as freezing them and the SPINE RIP. Closest match ever IMO --- ExThaNemesis is the man. |

Scorpion's not even indirect stronger, is he? Like, I can't figure out
why anyone is debating this right now... Sub-Zero would kill Scorpion. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

I don't even think Scorpion's stronger indirectly. Sub-Zero did better
against Auron 1 on 1 than Scorp did. Granted there was a two year gap
between those two matches, but I don't think much changes there. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |
