Or is Vivi totally out of the question?

I don't think there's very much that "totally out of the question" applies to in this format.

yeah, this looks like Hayabusa's match to lose. Xbox is usually better in the afternoon than the morning, too.

Zylo the wolf (#100)
No matter what happens this match will be close, so who will advance with Snake in round 2? Or is Vivi totally out of the question?



I think Snake hurts Ryu way more than he hurts Zero.

Time | Banjo | Olimar | Mega Man | Nero
PHV | 14.65% | 12.63% | 51.69% | 21.02% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 12.91% | 10.63% | 52.08% | 24.38% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 13.60% | 12.42% | 46.51% | 27.46% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 14.00% | 12.16% | 49.89% | 23.95% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 12.61% | 11.22% | 52.20% | 23.97% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 11.71% | 9.28% | 55.94% | 23.06% | (22:00-24:00)

Nice morning vote for Nero there. Power Hour seems to be his worst time. Mega Man had a bad morning vote, but he managed to recover the rest of the day, especially in that second night vote. LOL Olimar's second night vote.

Yesterday's stats:

Mega Man – 50.00%
Nero – 31.94%
Banjo – 20.60%
Captain Olimar – 18.34%

And whoa, I really didn't expect Hayabusa to be within reach of Zero. I know he impressed last year and all, but Zero didn't do that badly himself, especially against Crono in round 2. That 63/37 match from 2005 just kept me from even considering Hayabusa to win here, and he's got a great shot at it. I expected Pit to beat DeDeDe, but the king penguin has done pretty well for himself.

And whoever said that this was going to be Kid Icarus + A little Brawl...man, that's a ridiculous notion. Kid Icarus + A little Brawl would have Pit around 7-8% right now. Seriously, he'd be extremely pathetic (as in, worse than Olimar) if he didn't get a lot from Brawl.

Yeah, Brawl still means a lot... and Hayabusa apparently did a fair share of slicing in the night? Yeah, failing to see how Zero withstands the after-school torrent.

By the way, whoever takes second place will set a record for highest percentage by 2nd place in this format, barring some huge drop by Zero or Hayabusa.

And in case you were wondering, Balthier currently holds that record with 33%.

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/6/2008 6:15:59 AM | message detail
Zero won the night by about the same margin as he won the Power Hour. Hayabusa basically turned that margin around with the before school vote. Zero's got about 6 hours or so to build up his lead because Hayabusa's gonna be comin' with the ASV.

Yeah, he's not even putting up a fight now. Ryu H is hardly anything special with the DSV - Zero's finally developed Mega Man trends, it seems.

Shame that we had to wait until that crew was reduced to this before we got to see X in the contest.

Do you think CjayC and Allen had long AIM debates on whether or not to allow MMX? Like they've always had conflicting opinions on the matter.

Hmm

And Ryu takes another 25 off the lead.

vcharon | Posted 10/6/2008 6:46:05 AM | message detail
Zero looks like he's doomed for sure here. Maybe he'll surprise, but he's really looking like he'll choke up the lead in the next couple of hours, before Ryu's most dreaded time of the day really is.

So which ends closer... Ryu/Zero or Pit/Dedede?
---

Karma Hunter | Posted 10/6/2008 6:47:22 AM | message detail
Pit should also make a killing with the ASV as well (yes, even compared to Dedede), so I'll say Zero/Ryu.

Your_God | Posted 10/6/2008 6:54:08 AM | message detail
As much as I love Zero, he's as good as done. I'm not going to pretend like I know what's the trend but with simple logic you can see with how loosely he held the night vote he is not going to gain much of a lead before the ASC. and with the ASC Ryu will dominate.
Crimson Dragoon | Posted 10/6/2008 6:55:03 AM | message detail
I don't understand my bracket. I get things like Duke and Falcon moving on and Ryu > Zero (if this trend holds), but then I do things like taking Geno to move on with Bowser and not taking L-Block to move on from his match.

Hmmm, I'd think Pit would get more of the ASV than DDD, since I was under the impression he was really popular in Brawl.

Also Ryu's ahead by 52 now. Looks like both matches could well be over.

regardless of whether Ryu beats Zero or not, Ryu will not make it though round to. Round 2 till be Snake > Zero.

Zero is only losing now because pit and dedede are stealing a small margin of votes.
In round 2, Ryu will lose many more votes than Zero to snake.

Ryu: is it his 4way destiny to make upsets in Round 1 and lose in the next match to the very people he beat? I have a feeling he'll still have trouble in the 1v1 format.
