I've said it before and I say it again. Every match should end after
15:00, because the ASV always favors the less good character in
undecided matches. Except when Sonic is in the poll of course.... >_> --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

have different types of tastes. oesnt mean their opinions dont matter. --- Contest Point Total: 38 Rank: 92%tile, Tied for 3346 This Pick: L-Block > Ryu |

So basically... the L-Block now no longer had the one thing that was
cool about it going for it anymore: HUGE percentage drops. I think I
hate it this year even more. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Meta Knight actually is looking very good if we gauge him through Mr.
Consistency. By the end of the night, he should be somewhere in the low
40s on Ryu, which is right around what Kratos managed in 2006. I'd call
that damn good, but the people who expected the world of Meta Knight
might not realize this. Cracking 40 on Ryu is nothing to scoff at. |

Eh, Meta-Knight is actually about exactly where I pegged him at on Ryu.
My projection had him getting about 43% on Ryu directly. I just
expected more damage from The Dog SFF and/or a slight L-Block drop from
loss of shock factor. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Wow, L-Block winning the day vote now? And I agree he isn't exactly
static- you'd expect similar trends in each match if he were. He had
wildly varying trends last year, getting a better early vote every
match, and this is another variation- in the other direction. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 46/52 --- T-18 (96 way) Bracket: Ryu > L-Block --- Vote: Meta-Knight |

| I have a feeling L-Block is going to go berserk next round. I haven't heard a single compelling explanation as to why Joke SFF wouldn't exist and why The Dog wouldn't be impeding L-Block here. |

Jesus, Meta is keeping up pretty well with the block. I've lost all hope for a comeback, but it'd be the best thing ever if he manages. --- Biolizard28: The cream of Fire Emblem fanboyism. http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7315/ocelotpartycd1.gif |

| I'd easily take Ryu over L Block 1v1, since L
Block has a static fanbase, which is great for 4ways... but not enough
for him to advance against strong characters like Ryu in 1v1. --- Bacon, please just give me purgatory already. MyWorldisCrono has already been suspended for 7 days, the length of purg. |

Yeah, I've got L getting first next round right now. Forget second. Well, actually, it'll probably be kinda close. The Dog is hurting it, but it's realistically probably only two or three percent. And it just might be hurting Ryu too being all old school like that. So yeah thinkin L gets around 34% next round with the Dog gone assuming no momentum increase. It's enough to put Ryu out of contention... dunno about Crono. Probably him too though I think Ryu can make it closer than Crono needs to break 34%. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

L.Block in 1 VS 1 would be tough as hell to predict. But I think it
could beat anything without a solid fanbase. Alucard VS L-Block would
be interesting. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

red sox 777 (#417) Would anyone here take L-Block over Ryu 1v1 if the match were held tomorrow? Next round? No. L-Block's a Hate-Mobile given power by the format.

Even if L-Block gets 100% conversion from The Dog that's only 45%. I'm sure most of Meta's votes go to Ryu. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

1v1 I'd take L to lose to most things. I'd put it around the fodder
line. 28-34% of the site voting for you just doesn't cut it in a 1v1
match. Basically it'd have to count on its opponent not having a
fanbase of its own. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Impossible for L-Block to make the types of gains he needs with Meta
ruling the ASV like this. I won't rule out the possibility of a total
comeback, but Ryu is looking safer now. Maybe we should start talking about tomorrow match, or do too many people not care now? |

That still doesn't mean people are voting for it because they love Tetris. It works because of Tetris that doesn't mean it's a vote from "the Tetris fanbase." --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

I will say that if L doesn't take a good lead before the second night vote Ryu probably wins. SF's second night vote is beastly. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

| Zylo the wolf | Posted 10/1/2008 1:10:15 PM | message detail |

Really? I thought a character like the L-Block would be the perfect
thing to get a nice rally in a close battle. Ryu has have at least a
700 lead in the last hour before I think he's safe. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

| I disagree there. L-Block is a casual joke; it doesn't have a diehard fanbase. I can't really imagine anyone putting forth the effort of managing a last hour rally for it. But hell, who knows. It's done everything else - it may as well pack some Frog power, too. |

Given that we're seeing an L Block who starts at only the low 30s, but doesn't even fall much during the day, would ANYTHING from L Block come as a surprise anymore? This thing could come in first every remaining round from here on, or flop and let Ryu and Crono waltz by it next round and it would seem perfectly sensible either way to me. --- A season of our stolen youth shall teach old hearts to break ~Primordial-The Coffin Ships |

I could imagine them rallying and stuffing for Block if it mattered.
But its round 1, and he's advancing either way. They'd prolly do it in
later rounds if he might not advance. --- Bacon, please just give me purgatory already. MyWorldisCrono has already been suspended for 7 days, the length of purg. |
