Nice performance by Sora here. He's getting close to what he got last year on Lara, Wesker, and Daxter, and he should only go up. NewSquareFAQs for life!

Chris Redfield is impressing me here. Closer to Fox than Fox is to Sora is better than I'd have expected. Fox is getting 44.21% on Sora right now, which is good. Yeah, I'd say this should put the old Fox/DK question to rest, especially after the big ape's turd the other day.

Still say Yoshi SFFs Fox pretty good next round though. For someone as strong as Fox is, he's pretty susceptible to SFF.

For sure. Presuming tomorrow's match goes as expected, Round 2 is going to be an SFF fest between Squall/Sora + Yoshi/Fox. Kind of excited for it actually :)

Will be interesting to see who gets hit harder. We saw Squall stand up to Sora SFF and almost beat Sonic last year, I have to give that match to Squall given how strong Fox is looking.

Character Battle 2008: Points 59/80 Today's Match: Sora > Fox
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/8/2008 5:31:31 AM | message detail
Yesterday's chart:

Time | Wesker | Sackboy | Snake | Vivi
PHV | 13.22% | 10.81% | 49.89% | 26.08% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 12.98% | 9.87% | 51.27% | 25.88% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 12.36% | 9.63% | 51.00% | 27.01% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 12.86% | 9.61% | 50.88% | 26.65% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 11.98% | 10.04% | 52.63% | 25.35% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 12.14% | 9.92% | 52.79% | 25.16% | (22:00-24:00)

The Power Hour was Snake's worst time. He's not quite a Nintendo character yet! But the ASV was one of his best times! Perhaps he's not entirely a MGS character trend-wise anymore either! Still, none of these characters are strong day vote guys (Well, Sackboy probably will be once his game actually comes out). It'll be interesting to see how Snake stands up to Zero and Hayabusa this year. I guess we can see how he stood up to Hayabusa last year, though he might do differently. Good morning and early afternoon vote for Vivi. He's not too bad everywhere else either. He doesn't drop off quite as drastically as Zidane.

Yesterday's stats:

Solid Snake – 50.00%
Vivi Orunitia – 33.47%
Albert Wesker – 19.51%
Sackboy – 16.15%

And Sora's actually having a hard time going up right now. He's not doing it consistently. Fox is more of a morning guy than he is anyway, and KH's big time has always been the ASV anyway. That's when he really got Squall good in the second round last year.

If Sora = 2k5 Bowser Chris gets 79% on Pyramid Head. PH vs Tim would be a close match. Something doesn't seem right.

vcharon | Posted 10/8/2008 7:22:49 AM | message detail
Probably because it isn't. That's why you don't use X-stats to form opinions about anything. A certain measure of common sense has to be applied, too. Tim is fodderiffic. P-Head would massacre him, as scary as that is to say. At this point I have to wonder if Tim could beat anyone that's ever been in the contest, Tanner included.

Tim should be falling under 7% within an hour or so...

Fox did very well in the short span of the morning vote, so let's see how he handles the ASV. Him and Sora should blast off then, put Chris back down to...realistic expectations.

When RE5 comes out and if it gets good sales and a lot of popularity would anyone take him over Sora or Fox?

I'd take him over Fox and he would give Sora a good scare.

Fox gets his first non-Nintendo match in 6 years and you're calling him weak? They're not impressing, but they're not failing.

man... we're people seriously thinking Fox could do something in this match? Bunch of crazies... I'm surprised Sora isn't beating down Fox harder. KH ASV better do it's thang.

also that soulja boy video playing braid is awesome and i love you tranny

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/8/2008 8:54:23 AM | message detail
Yeah, anyone expecting Fox to contend with Sora here was expecting too much. He's not doing too badly here. Chris is doing well for himself. I'd say the picture this year compared to what he had last year (where he looked like a generic cop) might be helping.

Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship
Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi
TestIcicles | Posted 10/8/2008 8:57:16 AM | message detail
If RE5 is as highly acclaimed and well received as RE4, and it certainly has the potential to be, I don't see how Chris wouldn't be the favorite over Leon. Taking RE4 and RE5 out of the equation, Chris should beat down Leon fairly comfortably. Then is RE5 is received just as well as 4, the recency of 5 should only further benefit Chris over Leon. I'd be pretty shocked if Leon could take him out.

I think Kegger is referring to Round 2, to which I'd say that yeah, it looks confirmed. Yoshi isn't that far behind Squall, anyway, and Cloud is going to hurt Squall a lot more than Fox will hurt Yoshi.

H__RR____H | Posted 10/8/2008 10:00:01 AM | message detail
Whoa, Chris. That's my main opinion on today's match


About Sora/Fox: this looks pretty reasonable. Vincent beat Falco by ~19% earlier this round, Vincent > Sora because we've seen Vincent beat Squall while Sora's lost twice to Squall, and Fox > Falco because he's the star of Star Fox while featured in SSB. It lines up fine for me...

...what intrigues me is the next round. I imagine Squall/Yoshi will have a similar gap tomorrow that Sora/Fox have right now. Since Squall > Sora > Yoshi > Fox in my book, seeing how the SFF plays out will be fun. I suspect Yoshi SFF's Fox more than Squall SFF's Sora, and we saw how Sora compared to Squall when Aeris was out of the picture; I think Yoshi fending off Fox will be easier than Sora fending off Squall...

...Squall coming in first is a gimme, but it's either Sora advances when we've seen he doesn't hold up well to Squall or Yoshi advances when we've seen him be high on Nintendo's totem poll. I'll take the top character representing each company in this instance, though I'll still take Sora > Yoshi.

Sora is stronger than Fox, and Squall is stronger than Yoshi. It's a tough match to call, but I think Squall being less than 2% behind Sonic despite Sora last year is good enough to take Squall next round.
