Yeah at this point Ike being within 2% of Arthas despite Pikachu being here and Arthas rallying is good enough for me.

I think Ike supporters can at least take pride in that Ike will probably have the best showing of any Brawl-exclusive Smash character. Poor Diddy :(

Anyone got the rate that Ike needs to be cutting to win? Not that that's good enough, since Arthas will just rally, but I'm curious.

About 30 votes each update wouöd be good.

And the only character that could lose this big lead in a fourway is Donkey Kong, the ultimate choker that will not advance tomorrow.

Cube > Tidus baby.

Considering a Warcraft character is one of the few that has a ginormous rallying base, yes.

Which means it was above the L-Block match by 5000 votes, which means that yes, there was a good bit of rallying. Arthas probably still wins without it, but it would be a lot closer.

What?

I said that Arthas isn't benefitting from any rallying here, and then you said that only makes Ike look better. That's completely ridiculous and flat-out wrong. If Arthas WAS benefitting from rallying, it would indicate that Ike is clearly stronger than Arthas, without it not so much.

Because then Arthas would be the biggest choker of all time, and I doubt a Blizzard character would lose in a close match like this. Sorry dude but no matter how close Ike makes this, he won't move on to round 2.

And Ike has already slowed down a little.

What the hell are you talking about? It's more like 5,000 votes behind L's match.

Why do you people even post in the stats topics with your incredible amount of not logic.

I'd say I've gotten maybe 400-500 votes total from rallies for Arthas. I'm not sure if I'm the one one whos rallying or not, but if I'm the only one, thats not really very significant.

You really think Albion is accountable for getting 2,000 votes? I don't care if he posted about this match on an outside forum, I'm saying the effect of it is negligible. If I go post a link saying to vote for Ike on a Fire Emblem site, that doesn't mean that there's suddenly rallying going on that we should account for. Someone attempting to get a lot of votes for a character doesn't mean they're successful at it.

im done talking about the rallying (or clearly not with this post, hah!), if people want to delude themselves into thinking that's what's causing Ike to lose go for it. it doesn't really matter whether there is or not though, because that's just going to be a part of WoW characters strengths and should be taken into account if you actually think it causes anything significant.

ok done.

Neither am I, but that isn't because of his pic, is it? DK looks better than Tidus. Anyway, pic thoughts:

17 - Cube doesn't look cubey enough dangit. Should still do just fine.
18 - Smelling a big Nero overperformance; his picture dominates.
19 - Great pics all around, but Hayabusa's is just too slick.

Did I ever say I thought the rallying was causing Ike to lose?

Arthas probably still wins without it,

Oh, look, I even said the opposite. What is it about today that makes everyone (myself included) act so stupid?



I didn't think it was possible for Tidus to look more effeminate that he did before, but...

Yeah, it is because of the pic. Not because of DK's though, the block's. Not to say it's some extraordinary pic, it's just that when I actually see it lined up with the other characters it starts reminding me how similar it is to Block. Except instead of saying "Block" it says "Cube."

I'm totally off the Sandbag train (well other than > Magus), and on the WCC one. If we're gonna see another joke prosper it's gonna be him and not the 'bag, at least that's what I'm thinking now. DK > Tidus can still happen tomorrow, and I'm still considering it the favorite (or Tidus > DK, whatever), but not feeling too good about it.

Liking Nero's pic there- it's straight up Dante. Normally I root for characters to get their box art pictures, but I don't know, Nero looks so goofy on the DMC4 cover that this is one case where I changed my mind.

As for DK, eh, that looks pretty good, and getting official Brawl artwork is generally a good thing, but I was hoping SB would mix things up and use that Mario Super Strikers artwork someone sent in for him.
