| Last year can be explained by Fox being there, but what about 2006. Crono completely decimated Falcon, making him look as weak as Tingle |

So after two predictable divisions, we're back to some wacky ****. Nice, despite Diddy costing my bracket another two points. --- But the scars of memory never fade away. I can't stop loving you. Stop my tears. Stop my loving. Kill my memories. |

this has to be the most surprising result thus far. I'm fine with Diddy bombing, that was always a possibility. but Falcon doing this despite Diddy is pretty wild. --- xyzzy http://users.tpg.com.au/112358//85454546braidav.gif |

Eh, this result isn't TOO out there. Diddy bombing = ok, Kratos underperforming = fine Falcon...looking this good is a stretch, especially after his big loss to Crono, but Fox SFFing him into the ground last year may have something to do with this. Still, it's something I wouldn't have expected prior to this match. The Crono loss and last year seemed to line up just fine. --- Moltar Status: augh Alucard/C.

If Falcon is only down 600, Alucard is screwed. Seeing what MK did with the ASV points to Falcon owning it. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

trannyscience (#416) I don't see how that would be anything special. Percentage should be screwy enough for L-Block to get first, and Crono's a lock with the SFF. Only alternative I see is Crono > L-Block, but I don't think the percentage would be that skewed. --- 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 |

SSB has a great day vote, and Falcon can make up much more than 600
votes with the ASV, but he's going to fall very far overnight and
Alucard will go way up. I suppose he has a chance. I'd take Crono > L-Block in Crono/L/Falcon/Pikachu. Neither Falcon nor Pikachu are all that strong, and they're both Nintendo, so Crono should be able to take first. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 48/54 --- T-48 (98 way) Bracket: Alucard > Captain Falcon --- Vote: Captain Falcon |

I still don't understand this. Captain bombed like fodder twice in a
row. You don't even see him in his own games. How is he beating Diddy
Kong so badly? How can Diddy be so weak compared to DK? How are Kratos and Alucard doing so badly despite the SFF? I'm lost. |

I don't get how Diddy is doing so badly while Falco did so well. I also
don't see how CF > Diddy happens in the Nintendo base, even after
considering his previous matches' possible theories. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

well, Falcon is also a joke of sorts, which is why I ask. wonder if he can slow down L. probably not. either way, Falcon's gonna get killed by Alucard overnight. --- xyzzy http://users.tpg.com.au/112358//85454546braidav.gif |

And maybe Falcon's success has something to do with coming right out of
L-Block's match? Falcon does have a solid meme backing him. --- 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 |

Man, Falcon is handling this power hour like a true Nintendo character.
Diddy is pathetic. I'd give anything to go back and switch to Alucard
> Kratos Aurion right now. Forget the points, just get Diddy the
hell outta my bracket. Hate that punk. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

first place. No way does Pikachu exploit this Captain Falcon! Sure he does. I still want to hear explanations on how this affects the next match at all. I think this proves that Melee is more liked on here then Brawl. The Nintendo characters that have flopped all first appeared in Brawl (Wario, Meta Knight, Lucario, most likely Diddy), while the other Nintendo characters from Melee (Falco, Bowser, Zelda, Luigi, Falcon) have all exceeded expectations. Pikachu >> Ike. Arthas will slip in there. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

I don't get how Diddy is doing so badly while Falco did so well. I really think its the classic Smash Bros. Characters versus new. The new just are all flopping or underperforming, and the classic ones are doing great. Even Meta Knight will likely finish lower on Xstats this year then he did last year, before Brawl. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Fox SFFing him into the ground last year may have something to do with this. See, that's the thing. I don't think I would've expected Fox to do this well, much less Falcon. Maybe Falcon'll still collapse, though... |

Well, this match has been a learning experience so far. Alucard has gotten even weaker. Captain Falcon has been supressing his true power all along, SOMEHOW. Diddy sucks. Kratos is for all intents and purposes a Nintendo character. *tears up bracket* and I was just starting to climb the ranks in the guru contest. Unless Ike saves my ass, I'm done for now. --- The below statement is the most false thing in the world. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet.jpg?t=1221767288 |

The Nintendo characters that have flopped all first appeared in Brawl (Wario, Meta Knight, Lucario, most likely Diddy) The only character on that list that was supposed to get a good Brawl boost was MK, and...he flopped? He performed far better than he did last year, just because he couldn't beat L-Block (which even Ryu failed to do) doesn't mean flop. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |
