as bad as Ryu's day vote is i doubt it's worse than L Block

Great stall by L-Block. Only had his lead cut by 1.

It seems like L-Block wanted to just get a big enough lead over MK and cruise the rest of the way.

Vote-stuffers.

Checking back at last year Ryu had peaked at this time and it was all downhill from here. And we're starting to see the shift as Ryu drops off and Meta Knight picks up. Of course L-Block could suck even worse with the day vote but his handling of Ryu right now is promising.

That was a weekend match. Ryu will drop for a couple of hours then increase with the school vote.

The ASV will be key though.

Gooper Blooper | Posted 10/1/2008 4:55:32 AM | message detail
By that logic, 47% are joke votes.

Well, a significant population of GameFAQs voted that they didn't give a crap about the contest, so maybe they're interested in messing it up again by voting for L-Block.

Fine by me. The contest is just entertainment anyway.

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/1/2008 5:38:43 AM | message detail
Well, this contest is over. Anyone thinking L-Block is suddenly going to drop off and lose to Ryu and Crono when it's going even with Ryu right now is crazy. L-Block WILL get its 30% or so, and Ryu and Crono being relatively close in strength will make the difference. Plus, Ammy being there hurts, too. I'm doubting Crono beats L-Block next round, honestly. Basically, if you want to oust L-Block, you'd need something like Link, Cloud, and Jade so that Link and Cloud could get 30-35% or so each. Even then, that'd be pushing it.

Just hoping WCC ousts DK instead of Tidus at this point.

H__RR____H | Posted 10/1/2008 6:01:47 AM | message detail
Sad but true. The only hopes left are that L-Block can rise or fall like any other character, The Dog isn't SFF'ing L-Block, another joke pulls through, or the internet in general doesn't rally to save L-Block in close matches this time...

...and I can't bet on any of those at this time.

Wow, Crono and Ryu are doomed. I'm not giving up on Link in the finals though- I have a feeling L-Block won't build back up to its end strength last contest.

Well.....damn.

I hate to say it, but with the L-hate by the board, Block is starting to have trends like a normal character!

This is what I've been saying all along, Allen's decisions prior to this battle will be what ends the contests here. Feeling sick now? Just wait until Cube and Sandbag are unleashed.

hailEC | Posted 10/1/2008 6:50:42 AM | message detail
So when's Meta Knight coming back guys? From the start of this contest I had no idea why anyone was taking MK for 2nd here... let alone being the favorite. I do have L going out next round though, and that's looking absolutely awful right now. I'd be pretty stunned if L isn't in the finals at this point.

I'm not pissed L's winning this, but I am pretty pissed that I didn't keep my bracket with L winning it. With the majority of B8's not taking him to win, even if I didn't think L was going to win, I should have taken him for the odds. If B8's brackets go down in flames from L, who's going to stop me from leaderboard victory? Would have been a good "risk" to take.

all hail ec your lord and savior
Link The Hylian | Posted 10/1/2008 6:55:21 AM | message detail
The problem with L Block is that he keeps drastically changing his strength every round. This wouldn't be anywhere near good enough to win the contest normally, even if you gave him all of the Dogs votes.

I'm just saying that if his strength is constant this year and this is the best he can do, hes finished. If it fluctuates all over the place like last year then he'll easily win this thing again and the contest will remain stupid.

You know we really only have one way to combat this... we fight fire with fire! I mean if we could propel Frog through the ridiculous shenanigans of last years Frog Axel mess why can't we start the rally for Crono and Ryu now on the most outrageous fan sites we can find. If we can combine the might of the Chrono Trigger Coalition with the SF/Fighting Game coalition we might have what it takes to take L-Block out by his own ridiculous game... or we are all just screwed to watch L terrorize the bracket for another whole contest... I say start the mass rallying now Internet Wide everywhere we can we rally support for Ryu and Crono! Crono for president Ryu for VP!
