UltimaterializerX (#149) I wish these cheaters would do a better job cheating. Why only every so many updates? Why not just stream a constant wave of cheat votes, or at least every other update to make it a ping-pong match? These guys aren't cheating in an entertaining enough way. --- SNES Reviews - http://mega64.20ehost.com/ "[Wylvane]'s the type of guy we probably need more of around here to keep the place interesting." ~Smurf |

but Crono/Ryu are looking good as ever if you're one of those people who doesn't believe in The Dog SFF. Only if L-Block acts like a normal character and gets weaker as stronger characters enter the poll. The question remains whether these L-Block voters will remain loyal to him throughout the contest, and/or whether or not Ammy affects Crono and Ryu enough to stop one or both of them from surpassing L-Block's standard percentage block. --- Currently playing: GTAIV, SSBB, MP3, Apollo Justice, FFIVDS, Dracula X |

stronger characters enter the poll. The question remains whether these
L-Block voters will remain loyal to him throughout the contest, and/or
whether or not Ammy affects Crono and Ryu enough to stop one or both of
them from surpassing L-Block's standard percentage block. Yes but the point is his floor is looking to be lower this year. Assuming no dog SFF (probably wrong), Ryu and Crono should both manage 27% easily enough, which I think is all they'll need. Unless it obtains momentum. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

| That was pretty weird. L-Block maintains the same percentage for a full hour (which never happened last year), and now it gets a huge plummet. |

Not like this. Ryu makes a huge gain, then L-block cuts by like 20, then ryu makes another huge cut. This is ridiculous. o_O --- Character Contest VII Current Score: 46/50 Today's Match: Ryu > Meta Knight (God help me) |

Don't worry, be happy. Ryu cut the Blocks lead again. Hmm looks like the L-Block might get out of the division after all, but I doubt it has any chance to win this contest. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

YOUR MY BOY BLOCK --- The Straight Up G WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |
| PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/1/2008 12:01:42 AM | message detail |
| In addition to examining percentages, I think it's
also helpful to examine the amount of time L-Block actually held the
lead in matches that he didn't win (these are, coincidentally, his
first three matches and the final joke match). Listed below are the
approximate times L-Block held the opening lead before his opponent
overtook him for good: Kirby: 0:20 Kratos: 10:40 Snake: 4:05 ? Block: 3:10 I think the fact that L-Block will probably surpass the lead duration he had against Snake is impressive. Everyone knew he wouldn't be starting at Link/Cloud crushing strength in Round 1, and the fact that he can maintain a lead that long against Ryu (one of our night vote kings) despite Joke SFF shows he's really poised to go far again. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Holy crap, back to 400 we go. At this rate, a part of me expects L to
outright win this match. It's what my bracket says, so as long as he
has a lead, I'll hold out some hope. Best plan to stop him is Sandbag in the finals, though. Come on guys what do you say --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Hmm... never thought of that. Being just a casual joke, I doubt people
would care enough to rally for it, but the damn thing killed Link and
Cloud last year; who are we to speculate? --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Yeah, forget it, it's not dropping off nearly as fast as it was last
year despite it looking worse off to start. The only hope of L-Block
not winning the contest now is that it doesn't gain momentum this time
and that The Dog isn't SFFing it here. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

It kinda makes sense to think so. We're all acknowledging that The Dog
is a joke character. Doesn't that mean he's getting joke support? Isn't
L-Block also getting joke support? There's your fanbase split... --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
| Zylo the wolf | Posted 10/1/2008 12:45:05 AM | message detail |

By that logic, 47% are joke votes. Well I guess that makes sense why the L-Block would win. But against Link, Cloud and Snake the L-Block got 33.51%. I doubt it will get that much in this round and I think the Dog can hurt Ryu as well. A lot of people for the Dog are those who enjoyed Duck Hunt and many of those also loved Street Fighter II when it was popular. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

I just looked over my bracket and realized how ridiculous my Sandbag pick is. It's not impossible, but he's got just about the toughest road imaginable.

Personally, I think L-Block's going to get weaker as the contest goes
on. I'm fairly certain the only people voting for him now are the same
people who helped him become champion last year. Who's to say that
wasn't his peak of strength, and he isn't going to slowly decline from
here on out? --- http://img.imgcake.com//christ2.gif http://img.imgcake.com//dannynoriegaanimated.gif Mer NOICE! |

Heh, another L-Block stall. Ryu only has about two hours of night left,
but I believe they're the deadest two (ie. best suited for him). Two
hours for 309 votes. Wonder if he can manage this before sunrise! --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I bet at least 70% got L-Block first in their bracket. If you didn't
spend your life to discuss this contest like us on board 8, picking a
Street Fighter character over the dude who beat both Cloud, Link and
Snake just seems stupid. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

I don't think it really makes sense for his strength to reset each year
back to Donkey Kong level and then climb back up to being stronger than
Link at the end of each contest >_> --- http://img.imgcake.com//christ2.gif http://img.imgcake.com//dannynoriegaanimated.gif Mer NOICE! |

I may be fooling myself here, but in the face of such startling consistency, I can't help but think that L-Block might
be able to do well with the day vote. I didn't notice until just now,
but the damn thing has lost less than 0.5% since its vaunted first hour
(and hell, less than 2.5% since the first update). Too damn ordinary for L-Block. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I think the difference is that its early vote is not as frightening as before, leading to less of a percentage slide. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Normally I would say no, but it can't do that bad with the dayvote
since his threat is Ryu. I don't think any of them will run away and
get an above 2000 lead. Maybe both will collapse when the dayvote comes. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

Ryu's rolling now. He should have the lead a half hour or so before the
