PartOfYourWorld (#347) I can't help but think that Shadow may have been hindering Bowser in that match. Probably by not that much, but watching him get killed by Link this year (moreso than Link would usually kill someone) does support that theory. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest.

ZFS (#350) That's the point. If L-Block draws his standard 27-30%, Meta Knight needs to stay somewhat close to Ryu in order to survive the Block. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Falco got like 27% against Vincent, so Metaknight should totally be able to get even more than that against Ryu totally although L Block + Dog is almost definitely > GlaDOS + Wander, so I dunno how that all will play out but uh Metaknight's totally advancing there totally hopefully. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

Saying, Scorpion vs Sub-Zero is like Blue vs Yellow is like saying Mario vs Luigi is like Red vs Green... Furthermore: 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. Actually... in the MK storylines, Scorpion killed the original Sub-Zero.

I do believe the Dog is the perfect weapon to combat L-Block joke vote
wise. People say who hasn't played Tetris? Well who hasn't played Duck Hunt? Game was packaged with the NES/SMB, I daresay its playrate is at least somewhat comparable. Doesn't matter if he's strong, he's drawing from the exact same audience L-Block is. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Game was packaged with the NES/SMB, I daresay its playrate is at least somewhat comparable. Eh, although I agree the Dog will sap some votes, Tetris is way more played than Duck Hunt... Duck Hunt hasn't been available on anything other than the NES, whereas they keep releasing Tetris for anything that can play games. It opens the game up to every generation of gamers. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

I'd be curious as to the results of a poll asking "Have you played Duck Hunt?" I think you're underestimating the portion of the voterbase that has come in contact with an NES. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Then again who wants to vote for the Dog. Everyone who have played Duck
Hunt should hate him, and a lot of kids (aka those who weren't born
when the Nes was popular) haven't played Duck Hunt. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

The whole idea of Joke SFF is so ridiculous and dumb, but here's to hoping it actually happens ! --- Kept you waiting, huh? |

Think of the Dog like Sephiroth to L-Block's Cloud. He is no doubt the
villain of joke characters, but that doesn't mean he won't get jokes.
I'd take it to outdo WCC and Sandbag as a joke entrant, personally, but
I think I'm the only one. We'll never know because he's going to get SFFed by L-Block anyway, but. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

I still think a lot of people will keep voting L Block after last year.
I'm pretty sure that a lot of the Clinkeroth voters haven't even played
their game but just vote for them because they're so popular. And that
will give him the edge to get past round 1. --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue |

Bracket voting too but you really think when Link destroys someone
90-10 all 90% knows Link is the better character because they played
the games? Just to give an example :). --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue |

everyone knows who link is though even if they haven't played a zelda
game. and he looks cool and has a sword, which is all that is necessary
to get a vote from people who haven't played the games or don't know
the characters. --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/19, before Captain Crow Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

I'm pretty confident 90% of the voterbase has had contact with Link in some way, yeah. I see what you're saying though, but that kinda only matters when you're dealing with fodder that a character is easily gonna beat anyway, so I'd call it mostly irrelevant... maybe it lets some fodder overperform a bit, but other than that... --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude.

I'm skeptical Gordon gets enough of an X-Box day vote for it to matter.
Maybe he slows the bleeding but I doubt he makes any moves because
Orange Box is on the X-Box 360. Remember it's basically just part of
his boost that should get an X-Box day vote... he's still primarily a
PC character. So yeah... it's not much. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

You know... Balthier might be the one to
make a move with the day vote. FFXII had a pretty decent day vote last
contest, right? I'm just sayin. He stalled really well with the night
after the onslaught of the first two hours. Watch out...! --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Balthier is behind way too much to even have a prayer. I also don't think Gordon's going to be having too much of an Xbox day vote. We didn't exactly see Niko set the world on fire with the day vote, but then again he was also behind quite a bit. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest.

hmm. this looks like a Scorpion drop more than a Freeman boost. of course. underrate Gordon again! That will solve all your problems. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune I MISS MY QUICKPOST! ;_; |

I have to almost naturally think Scorpion will still win, but God...this just stays ridiculous. How did Gordon's trends look last year, again? Did they change much when Orange Box came out between R1 and R2? --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

I don't think Big Daddy's doing that badly. 17% isn't that bad. That's
right about where I expected him to be. And what in the world is
Balthier doing now? He's starting to take the DSV! He's preventing
Scorpion from taking the lead! I'm glad Balthier is doing well though. Just don't stop Scorpion from winning! Seriously though, this match is so confusing. Is Sub-Zero that much stronger than Scorpion? Or has Gordon gone up? And how in the world is Balthier doing comparably to Gordon and Scorpion to what he did on Ada and Ammy? And despite the confusion, this is pretty close to my Oracle prediction, except I had Scorpion winning by a decent bit! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |
