Also, remember - DK is the guy that beat Marth.

Altair is a damn lock to R3 I'd say.


He's a lock, but not because of DK/Marth, but because Lucario (as crap-assy as he is) being in that poll kills any chance he has of coming first.

I figured mid-carder Marth would be alone in that half-division of fodder, then Duke and Altair wind up not being fodder, and Marth winds up not being a mid-carder.

Yeah, this one's over. DK isn't advancing.

Tidus still has a chance at first, maybe.

The biggest suprise of the match for me so far is DK. I mean, yeah, DK choking isn't surprising, but he's closer to Tails than he is to Tidus. I suppose I should have seen this coming after Diddy...

I wouldn't be surprised to see WCC have trends like L. The board is less likely to give him support than the general voters, tons of people here are against any joke characters winning.

The board vote was L's best time...

At this rate, DK might end up looking worse than Diddy after all.

The Cube might be nearly as strong as L-Block if his lead keeps increasing for the next few updates.

Well, at least we won't have to worry about the Cube being a further threat if he advances. He's struggling with Tidus here.

Tidus

Eh, we'll see how Cube's trends are- I'm guessing they'll be like L-Block of last year, but even that is probably enough to beat DK now.

Cube could go up from here and could gain momentum next round.

And once again, Tails never ceases to amaze me with how weak he is. I just don't understand it. He kicks complete ass and is way better to play as than Sonic.

He's got 6% 15 minutes in, against Tidus. All the jokes are frontloaded to all hell. Just look at how much L was leading Ryu by, and Ryu has a decent board vote.

yep. this Cube is coming out of this division.

I'm actually excited about this. Cube makes boring matches interesting, and this division is very boring.

Coming out of this division? If he doesn't take first here, how will he beat Tidus next round.

I don't think this is "hey, joke character" so much as it's Board 8 saying "hey, niche game om nom nom nom nom gimme dat indie cred"
RockMFR 5 | Posted 10/3/2008 9:18:41 PM | message detail
Cube's definitely making it to round 3. Mega Man's gonna suck up a ton of percentage in the next round. Cube will behave like L-Block and get a near constant percentage. Tidus will be fighting to break 20%.

On a slightly related note, is anyone excited to watch Mega Man put up the best Noble Nine performance so far tomorrow?

I am!

Also, I have a feeling Ryu H is going to overperform in his match. People will be using Zero/Ryu 2k5 as a benchmark which isn't really fair considering how good Ryu looked last year.

Cube > Zero

zero is stronger than crono and uh crono clearly boosted i mean look who he put 50% up on in his first match, so that's like 12% so he's stronger than snake so zero is too.

A comparison of L-Block's lead and the Cube's lead for the first 20 minutes of the match:

5 minutes: 143 (L-Block) --- 83 (Cube)
10 minutes: 216 (L-Block) --- 160 (Cube)
15 minutes: 296 (L-Block) --- 213 (Cube)
20 minutes: 329 (L-Block) --- 318 (Cube)

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/3/2008 9:22:20 PM | message detail
I've noticed something here. The best characters with the board vote are Smash characters, and characters from critically acclaimed, niche series. If liking the character gives you "gamer cred", then Board 8 likes the character.

do you mean highest % or something? because he's not going to beat link, let alone cloud.

Not many have the Cube in their brackets, and those that do also have stupid picks like Sandbag and Mudkip to round 3.
