Kirby basically stalled L at 4500. To actually come back, Meta needs that to be at least cut in half, probably significantly more. He has the nice advantage of being the only day character here (Kirby was stuck with Kratos), but it doesn't look like that's going to do him any good.

Block's up to 400 now.

Things are looking better and better. If only I didn't have Link > L-Block in the semis! Hopefully Mudkip will get that far and do a better job hurting L-Block than The Dog!

Meta Knight for all intents and purposes should be a day vote God. Against L-Block, I'd give him a chance at up to 4000.

Demyx is better than Axel.

I'm not taking 4000.

2500 is the most I'm going to humor.

4000 would be the most amazing thing ever, though.

Also am I late in noticing that Ryu is actually designated as "Ryu (Street Fighter)" in the poll?

Is this significant for any other characters?

KamikazePotato (#450)
Guys, guys.

If L-Block is legitimate now...no more static fanbase?

(prays)


Doesn't look like it, though I don't think he'll have lost his floor either.

L-Block is pretty much invincible at this point.

Why is everyone overrating Meta-Knight so much?

I don't understand this.....
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 9/30/2008 9:28:52 PM | message detail
L-Block will fall after the first hour, sure, but so will Meta Knight (probably to the high teens, and we know Block won't spiral that badly). He'll be falling further behind for the next five or six hours.

Wow you guys are overestimate Meta Knight here. Any more than 2000 is already pushing it 2500 is the absolute max. This isn't one on one.

Eh, the Street Fighter being there probably won't mean much for Ryu. For all intents and purpose, Ryu is Street Fighter. It's pretty redundant, actually. There might be other characters that it could aid though.

So far L-Block is looking like match 2 from last year.

5m in to 30m in:
-1.28%
30m in to end of the match:
-7.42%

This year
5m in to 30m in:
-1.28%
30m in to end of the match:
???

If trends hold, it would end at 26.51%
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/30/2008 9:34:51 PM | message detail
Kratos will get his full name

Good Kratos will probably get (God of War) beside him.

I think it was probably for differentiating between the OTHER Ryu and Bacon was just too lazy to change it for the actual poll.

Clearly what this means is we need to get in Raiden from Mortal Kombat next year

And guys... I dunno. The board vote REALLY was overrated for L last year by this topic.

Last year L started 5 minutes at 38.29%.
After 30 minutes he was at 38.42%.

He didn't even start falling percentagewise until AFTER the first hour.

Vs Kratos started 5 minutes at 37.03%
after 30 minutes he was 35.75%

He's over 2% lower than both NOW.

Don't count MK out.

Lo, Meta Knight is down 1100 with at least five more hours of trailing to go. He's done. The biggest issue now is seeing how closely L-Block finishes to Ryu.

To be fair, who actually knows who Wander is? His picture is bad (Thought I blame the actual game on that) and nobody is going to know him by just his name.

I guess I can take a small victory in that if Ryu catches up, I called this match correctly. Now I need Ryu to beat the joke into oblivion to keep up hopes for next round.
RPGuy96 | Posted 9/30/2008 9:39:21 PM | message detail
Yeah, Meta-Knight can't do anything until 6 AM, and by then it'll be too late. The other 1000 votes L needs to put this away will accrue more slowly than this first thousand, but they'll definitely be there.

The reason MK isn't out. Let's look at this from a percentage standpoint.

L is lower than he was during Kirby vs Kratos at this point.

I doubt his "stalwart 28%" are going to be holding out. His floor probably falls to 25-26%. Look at where MK lies right now. Looking at this in terms of lead is silly unless the lead gets to an utterly unmanageable number.
