Do you really think BB = Squall? Squall would massacre him. We have no idea how Squall would do against this Big Boss, but I think "massacre" is really pushing it. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Pretty much, Squall's blowout on Yoshi is the exact same as BB's
blowout on Kirby. Do you really think BB = Squall? Squall would
massacre him. It's like 56 - 44 Big Boss > Kirby right now Squall beat Kirby 55 -45 that one time woah obviously it's not totally comparable, but Big Boss is looking really good here. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

I'm waiting to see Sandbag bring in 15% of the vote and Magus dominate him personally. You will be waiting a looooooooooooong time! (Presumably until a future contest in which Magus and Sandbag are also paired up in the first round and Magus has received many remakes and academy awards and Smash has faded into obscurity and fewer academy awards) --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I will be very surprised if Sandbag gets near 20%. 15% sounds about right, maybe a bit less. Don't know why everyone thinks he's the favorite in his match. He's nowhere near as recognizable as the Cube or L-Block, and will only cater to Brawl fans (which spells disaster if you've been following this contest at all). --- Good Times, Great Memories |

like this. and dk absolutely sucked, there's no way kirby is that weak. I don't know about this at all. Like I said, these are diehard Lucas voters - you can't just give Kirby that %. Plus this looks a hell of a lot more like Kirby SFFing Lucas rather than an LFF situation. SFF and LFF are not the same thing - you can have SFF without LFF in a 4-way, and that might be the case here. Even if it isn't, you definitely can't give all Lucas' votes to Kirby. A comfy majority maybe, but with what Boss is winning by, it wouldn't be hugely lopsided. As for Jinjo's votes, Kirby would probably get a better proportion of them than the 43% or so that he's getting against Boss right now, so a majority is likely. But a big majority? Doubtful. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Sandbag is way more recognizable than the Cube, you're crazy. On the internet? Do you know how well liked Portal is? Do you want to know how many sites had some sort of Portal parody on it? Portal is a huge fad on the net, and many, many people are in on it. Sandbag is an item in SSBB. Seriously, everyone thinks it will do well just for that reason alone. It has nothing else going for it. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Oh but yes, Kirby is easily ahead of DK. But he's probably easily behind Yoshi too, so I dunno who he's closer to. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Then explain how Bidoof and Mudkips did so well? No one is voting them based on them being objects. They're being voted because they are fads on the internet. Sandbag doesn't have any fads to his credit. All he has is being an item in Brawl and a guest appearance in Melee. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

L-Block was an internet fad? News to me. L-Block is a different case. It became a fad because of this contest. If the Block landed just about anywhere else in the bracket (where it didn't have to fight two of the weakest entrants ever to place), then Block would be just another low-midcarder/fodder character. But as luck had it, he won his first match and gained a lot of fans. Those were enough to make him win the second round (and some LFF from Kirby/DK), and from there it just snowballed out of control. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Suddenly Magus looks a lot less like a jobber. <_< I am gonna be rooting hard for Magus there, and he does look less horrible now. But still...this is a joke format, with joke characters (*and* a joke scoring system to boot!). Sandbag is known by just about everybody, and he's an inanimate object. He'll probably be less powerful than Cube (although he could be stronger), but this format favors him too much. This format is all about the inanimate object. All he'll need is mid-20's to beat Magus, maybe even low 20's. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
