Chief was against Chrono Trigger characters in 2004 and 2005. Plus he had a terrible night vote to begin with. Chief was like 70-30 day-night back then whereas I would say Ryu was more 60-40.

Lopen (#450)
That just means X-Box's overall strength is higher, not that its trends change.



Which means he needs a bigger lead then that guy said he would from 2005 trends.

Mario only won 3 (15 minute I think) updates against Crono in 2004. Frog won the day vote against Solid Snake. CT didn't become abysmal with the day vote until 2006.

I don't think you understand.

It's not going to create a more drastic swing, him being stronger. It will be harder to OBTAIN the 500 vote lead, but yeah. KH is pretty much right here. <_<

so you're saying weak ryu in 2005 and ryu in 2008 would have the same exact chance of making up 500 votes during the day?

Ugh, after every Ryu cut Zero gains a truckload.


Pit finally stops the bleeding. Let's do this.

MnMZero | Posted 10/5/2008 10:01:22 PM | message detail
lol Pit

I guess this pretty much is the last piece of evidence against BRAWLFEAR! It's dead and gone. Pit has pretty much everything going for him as far as Brawl goes (known since trailer, casual bait, decent character design). He can't even pass Dedede on the totem pole and Ryu is making them both look bad.

This poll actually brings a tear to my eyes. Ryu is pretty high up on my chacter list. To see him hang with the likes of Zero (who is my fave) is pretty awesome. I'm not worried about Zero. He was pretty legit last year, hanging with Crono and such. Having two Nintendo characters can't be helping him. But this poll is all Ryu.

Alright, power hour is over. Ryu needs to get his ass in gear and not let Zero get 70 vote cuts like this anymore.

I disagree. It has nothing to do with his strength, because at the end of the day, he gets what he gets. It has to do with the X-box becoming less hated around here. The X-Box day vote now is better than it was 3 years ago IMO.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/5/2008 10:04:54 PM | message detail
Definitely. As much as I love Zero, it's great to see Ryu hanging out with the big boys. This raises some interesting matchup possibilities.

Riku/Ryu rematch anyone?
HeroicTronBonne | Posted 10/5/2008 10:06:02 PM | message detail
Hmm, I think its over. Zero is already 300+ now and will likely build the lead much bigger over night.

Good showing by Ryu, though.

power hour's over - if this holds up for another update, I'd say that we should expect Zero to take it handily. I'm expecting a Ryu cut though. these guys have pretty similar trends all told, which kinda explains why it's so back and forth.

An MGS1 pic very much fits the "theme" (sans the whole "first appearance" thing, but I'm sure he's not going to adhere to them that strictly) and looks better to boot. Not saying it'll happen, but it's hard for me to see Snake getting it with all the other, better options he'll have to choose from

How does a MGS1 pic fit the theme? Is there a sprite from that game? Or did you mean the GB version? The sprite from that really isn't that much better.

Its just HM being irrational. Can't throw away the rules to favor one character. Its a sprite or a picture from their original game. No, we aren't gonna get 3D Snake pics because he has sprites.

yeah, Zero's got this night vote. I'd say this is clearly Zero's match and it would take a big shift in what we're seeing for Hayabusa to win.

It depends on the year. For people submitting r3 pics, it says this:

Round 3: Images must be 70 pixels wide by 150 pixels high, and use the character's sprite from a game where they've appeared in 2D. If the character has never been shown in 2D as a sprite, the simplest in-game render from their earliest appearance is appropriate (like last year's Round 3). The background should also be from a 2D or early apperance, but faded enough not to obscure the sprite. Do not include character's name in text; it will be added in a common style.

Zero's got this in the bag. Even though it'd hurt me bracket wise, I'd have liked to see Hayabusa take this.

Only thing left is to watch Pit/Dedede failfest and see who ends up the biggest failure.

That wasn't a sprite round at all. That was in-game action shot (except for Crono, and I guess Vincent... don't know where that one came from ). The fourth round was actually the sprite round in 2k5 (Mario/Samus, Bowser/Snake, Crono/Vincent, Mega Man/Sonic).

To be fair from this performance and assuming a little Brawl SFF Pit and Dedede are probably low midcarders.

Not to say Yuna shouldn't have been in over either of these two jokers. Just sayin.
