A very real possibility, but once again, that begs the question "why
did Frank do surprisingly well against her yesterday?" I guess one
could argue that Frank was taking advantage of an Xbox fanbase split
with Kaim, but eh, I'll have a hard time buying that. If he was splitting with Kaim, he would have looked weaker in comparison to Amastasdrawerareru. The only explanation there is Ammy and Corno dropped or Frank boosted from his Wii game more than Ammy did. |

I'm almost always down on Crono, but his day vote was surprisingly not awful this time. I think he's stronger. That's because he was against an obscure current gen JRPG character, an obscure last-gen... wolf thing, and a zombie killer. |

More like his night vote was surprisingly weaker. Always a possibility, but why would his night vote have fallen to the abysmal levels of his day vote? The night crowd is basically the last bastion of a "base" that Crono's had the last few years. Or to put it another way, Crono's in serious trouble of losing to Ryu next round if that's the case. I don't think that's likely. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I don't think Dead Rising's ported to the Wii yet, actually...can somebody confirm this? Not yet, couple more months. Anyway, KH, you bring up some good points, but Crono was against a trio that just smacked of weaksauce. I really was expecting 50% out of him, especially when I saw Kaim lay a fart out of the gate, but he just couldn't muster it. Anyway, it's a moot point like Turtle says. L-Block and Samus will clearly be the ones emerging from that match. Crono and Vincent may once again give us a show, but it doesn't seem as big when they'll be fighting to keep their asses out of last place. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

| If you put Crono against Kefka, he doesn't suddenly have a great day vote, he was just up against someone with a worse one.... how do you people not understand this? Mega Man has a great day vote, but in 2005 because he was against Yoshi and Sonic, it looked terrible. Now for some reason he has a reputation as a night character. |

back here, although Lloyd proved to us that the morning vote is not

I'd be pretty surprised if L came back actually... (actually I wouldn't
because VOTE STUFFERS), but uh, yeah the morning has always been by
leaps and bounds Ryu's worst time, and L couldn't do much with it. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

The other thing is that we just haven't seen many large relative shifts
with the ASV this year, at least considering some of the landslide
trends we had last year. Then again, with a lead of only 600 it doesn't
really need to be a landslide. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

You guys are forgetting how bad the block's day vote is...it lost 1500
votes to Snake during the day in round 4, and I'm pretty sure it also
lost the day vote to Solid **** in round 3. Ryu would need an epic day
vote tanking to lose this match. --- "Men that are trapped by chains of 'maybe' can never reach their dreams!" Explicit Content > me in the Guru |

This is a different Block, though. In its R3 match with Snake, it lost
around 5.7% or so from the first hour 'till the end of the match. Right
now it's lost less than 1.5% of what it had in the first hour. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

this is a new Block this year. can't wait to see if it can get 40% next match. that would be pretty amazing. Ryu's after-school vote isn't awful though, it's the morning vote that is. his after-school vote is just mediocre. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Guess L-Block wins the contest. I suppose the possibility is there that
it's not static anymore since it seems to have normal voting trends.
*shrug* I'd imagine the first opportunity for it to go out because of that
is in the quarterfinals with Crono/Vincent/Samus there, though. Though
hell, Ryu is beating it barely, if it's not static anymore I guess it can lose next round. I'm not betting on it, though. Of course there's always the possibility that it gains momentum and/or the Dog is hurting it, in which case you can forget it losing ever. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude.

It wouldn't surprise me if the only reason L-block is doing as well as
it is today is due to bracket votes. :/ (Much like how Bowser/Ganon did
after the villains contest). I disagree with the premise that it is a static entity (assuming I'm understanding what that means correctly). If that were the case, its percentage would vary wildly as the vote totals change (there were a lot more votes than normal in the final match last year), but instead the number of votes that it received was what changed drastically, not percentage. Most of its final strength last year was external and I would be surprised to see it again. But maybe that's me just being blinded by hope! --- SlayerS_`BoxeR`: that is many tank?
