Zero has no one holding him back, like Riku.

Oh boy....

I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect Ryu H to start off this close.

I mean I kind of figured it would be but not this early

I think Ryu H is going to make an interesting match outta this

I will say this - Snake's road past Mega Man just got a whole lot trickier.

...sort of. That performance we just saw out of him is heartening for me, though.

...lead of 15 at the freeze? Barring a massive pro-Ryu (and anti-bracket) vote from the board, this is looking to be a blowout in the ninja's favor.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/5/2008 9:08:49 PM | message detail
I can honestly say I wouldn't be surprised if Hayabusa won. He looked great last year and was only a bit behind Riku. Given that he got Ninja Gaiden 2 since then, I half-expected him to give Zero a run for his money.

Certainly makes Mega Man/Snake look interesting.
Gaddswell | Posted 10/5/2008 9:08:51 PM | message detail
Heh, lead of 15 for both Zero / Hayabusa and Dedede / Pit.

Jeez. What's happened to Zero and or Ryu in the past three years? Ryu's had what? A game for the PS3 that I believe bombed and Ninja Gaiden 2 which sold OK I believe but nothing that would draw in new fans. I think this is really Zero that has dropped off here.

Personally, I'm beginning to suspect more and more that Crono overperformed in the Sprite Round this past year. Not sure why he didn't appear to have done it in any other years though.

eh, after Altair doing so well and last year I'm not surprised at this at all. It also reminded me of the Bowser > Ryu(SF) arguments last year(in 2005 Bowser kicked his ass!) too much for my tastes.

3 matches wrong in a row am I off the leaderboard yet

Zero hasn't gone anywhere. Look at how close Hayabusa was to Riku last year, a Riku that got 45% on Yoshi. Considering I'd peg Yoshi/Zero to go 53/47 or so, that definitely puts Ryu in striking distance.

Also, lol board vote
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/5/2008 9:11:25 PM | message detail

In DDD's case, it was more Pit having an absolutely horrid update.

Whoa, didn't expect Zero and Ryu to be that close to each other. Hoping for more Zero updates like that to widen the gap between them.

Well Zero looks a heckuva lot better, but we'll see if it holds (lol bracket rallying).

...alternatively Ryu H might've been the casual bracket favorite. This still has the potential to be interesting, so let's wait and see.

Ryu Hayabusa has every reason in the world to go up. A new game, X-Box acceptance. Zero no doubt dropped a bit too, but don't sell Hayabusa short here.

Look at how close Hayabusa was to Riku last year, a Riku that got 45% on Yoshi.

The Riku of last year also got beaten down pretty badly by Snake.
