BlAcK TuRtLe (#050) I've seen him used on many boards outside of just gamefaqs. I don't think he'll do much, but he's more then just LUE. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Brawl hasn't hurt Nintendo - not at all. it's helped it, of course.
the problem is the absolute lack of Wii titles worth a damn, stopping
Nintendo fans from coming to this site. most voters are xbox fans at
this point. I expect PS3 to beat out Wii come January as well, or at
least make it close. that is what's slowing Nintendo down, not Brawl. I don't know if it's even that fewer Nintendo fans are coming than they used to, as much as it is that there's more and more fans of the other consoles these days since the PS3 and 360 have become so much more widely owned and liked on this site, that the competition is "catching up" in a sense. Of course, that still doesn't explain how Snake is not even doubling Vivi when an increase in PS3 and 360 owners should mean an increase in MGS fans coming here. --- A season of our stolen youth shall teach old hearts to break ~Primordial-The Coffin Ships |

And I don't understand the Jinjo fear. Jinjo is a dead LUE fad....
he has nothing to draw strength from. He's as much a joke character as
Jade and Luke are. I still see Jinjo and Jinjo parodies on LUE, and particularly on CE. Every social board ASCII topic has him pop up at least once. I doubt he'll be Block or Cube level, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him look better than bottom of the barrel fodder. --- A season of our stolen youth shall teach old hearts to break ~Primordial-The Coffin Ships |

Yesterday's chart: Time | DeDeDe | Pit | Hayabusa | Zero PHV | 15.30% | 14.19% | 34.15% | 36.36% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 13.01% | 13.47% | 35.96% | 37.56% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 14.16% | 15.44% | 36.30% | 34.09% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 12.88% | 14.34% | 37.98% | 34.81% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 13.51% | 15.27% | 36.52% | 34.69% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 11.60% | 14.26% | 36.91% | 37.22% | (22:00-24:00) Zero with good night votes, not so good day votes. Hayabusa did really well for himself outside of the Power Hour. His during school vote was actually better than his ASV. DeDeDe has a good Power Hour (relatively) compared to everything else. Pit's a day vote guy, to the surprise of none. And it's surprising how Hayabusa can beat Zero straight up and people can still say that Zero is the "clear" favorite to beat him next round. I wouldn't be so quick to assume Zero/DeDeDe/Pit LFF here. But it might not matter with how well Vivi is doing here. Snake isn't really doing that badly, in my opinion. Vivi is just doing really well. ...And he's getting a morning vote. What's going on here? Well, I guess out of all of these, he'd probably have the best day vote, though Zidane's is bad. I'm not really sure what to make of this performance. Vivi in the third round with a classic Black Mage in-game shot sounds like an overperformance waiting to happen to me, though it won't really make a difference. Snake has nothing to fear from Mega Man though. I don't really care what anyone says. 50% against three other characters is hard, no matter who it is, especially when you've actually got another character in the poll people care about. Either way, this has been a pretty static match, trend-wise. Also, LOL Wesker, and the reason everyone was saying Sackboy could get joke votes was because of the name and design, which would appeal to joke voters who don't know what LittleBigPlanet is. Yesterday's stats: Ryu Hayabusa – 50.00% Zero – 49.24% Pit – 28.58% King DeDeDe – 26.85% --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

| Vivi is impressing BECAUSE Snake is doing so bad. The man who threw down Ulti-style destruction on Sonic and Mega Man should be over 55% at least. |
| HaRRicH | Posted 10/7/2008 9:12:39 AM | message detail |
| Wesker should get 28.54%/21.56% on Vivi/Solid in
2k5 and 37.36%/19.32% on Vivi/Solid last year. I forget how to
extrapolate them the best way from four-ways, but the quick
calculations says Wesker gets 32.71%/20.13% on Vivi/Solid right now.
Likewise, Vivi was expected to get 40.92% in 2k4, 36.87% in 2k5, 25.86%
last year, and 34.17% right now on Solid... ...does that mean anything here? It looks like if it wasn't for Tidus last year, Solid would be beating Vivi worse than ever before. Wesker looks like he's kept up in some ways, but I suspect the second half of this match will kill Wesker in relation to Solid. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Vivi is impressing BECAUSE Snake is doing so bad. The man who threw
down Ulti-style destruction on Sonic and Mega Man should be over 55% at
least. No Noble 9er has impressed yet, and it's fair to say that most put up disappointing percentages. Snake wasn't going to hit 55% when Samus couldn't even come close against a weaker trio. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Woo Vivi! Go go go! So looking both at the NNers who have already had matches and the random FF boosts that have been going on, how high do we think Cloud can go in his round 1 match? I mean, if Zack could pull almost 45% with Cecil in the poll, can Cloud hit 55%? 60%? Axel Steel/Midna/Miles Edgeworth vs. Wario/Cecil/Jade...they look like they could be vaguely comparable in average strength taken as groups, and Cloud won't have another FF character there to leech votes. --- Attention, all yoctograms!

Honestly I think TIm > Wander. Wander is a total unknown who doesnt
even look anything special, and Braid was a pretty popular brand new
game, so I think he'd get more support then Wander. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

I want to agree with you...but if people are thinking Mega Man dropped
or went even despite MM9 hitting, selling well, and being received
nicely on every system, then I doubt even Soulja Boy can save Tim from
losing to Wander. There's also this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3207 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2247 ~17.5% thinking buying Braid could be worth $15 bucks VS ~16% thinking the $40-SotC was the PS2-GotY in 2005. Games =/= characters and those were different years and kinds of polls, I know, but the odds are still in Wander's favor from that perspective. Just saying, I'd take Wander > Tim until further notice. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

More seriously, I understand being skeptical of Wander -- I certainly
am, believe it or not -- but after MM9 failing to do anything for Mega
Man and Tim almost solely being nominated for being a joke (though I
enjoyed his demo), then seeing so few people thinking his game would be
worth $15 when most games cost $50...I mean, the odds aren't favorable
to him. Wander/Tim is the new hot-topic. Oh God. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Unless Axel is unexpectedly strong, Cloud's fourpack is quite a bit
weaker than Link's, so he should be able to break 60% easily. He got
61% with Jill and Ocelot, either one of which could probably beat
Midna, and 56% with Marcus/Ocelot/Kefka. And Snake's doing fine here, just like Link, Mario, and Samus did fine. (Note that I'm not sold on Crono/Vincent/Mega doing well.) Having a midcarder like Vivi makes it difficult for non-Clinkeroth types to get much higher than 50%. --- Mustache...and green... |

I agree he's not a joke character. I'm saying he was largely nominated
out of the humor of seeing him in a contest. He's not a joke in the way
L-Block, WCC, or potentially Sandbag are -- jokes that draw interest
because of how unorthodox they are. Instead, he was nominated for
similar reasons that Jay Solano was -- characters that Board 8 thinks
would be funny to see flop. His game may be good, but how many people
are going to know it by tomorrow? That's why he got so many nominations. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Of course Snake's going to fail to live up to your expectations when
you're expecting him to be able to beat Cloud this year. Start small.
Seriously. It's not easy to beat Cloud. Cloud got as much last year
against Ocelot, Kefka, and Marcus Fenix as Snake did against Rayman,
Nightmare, and Vyse. There's absolutely no way MGS4 and Brawl were
going to close that gap. Snake's doing just fine, as long as you have reasonable expectations. And if Cloud doesn't score the biggest blowout of the contest, I'll be shocked. He's got just the right fourpack to get something like 65% or so. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

And something inside me has me curious if Vivi isn't overperforming
somehow. Not for any particular reason, just a hunch. I'm thinking
something along the lines of Vivi doing better than he should just due
to how pathetic the other two options are doing. Not that I wouldn't
love to see Vivi beat Zero and Hayabusa next round. Wait, why am I justifying anything?! This is more NewSquareFAQs evidence! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

that it actually has good characters in it. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |
