I really can't see Magus not advancing right now. The lead is above
1500, the characters that compete with the ASV is Sonic (third king of
the day vote after Masterchief and Sora) and an Xbox character. I doubt
Sandbag will ever cut the lead below 1000. Then agian I didn't think that Hogger could pull it of yesterday either so what do I know? Heck isn't Magus doing better and better every hour right now? --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

I still think it's weird that WCC can take first over Tidus yet Sandbag can't beat Magus... ...but I'm not going to complain much. I like Sandbag more, but it would likely **** with the contest long after today if it won.

I do think Sandbag and Sonic are hurting each other a little, but 2.5+%
of hinderance to Sandbag is probably more than I expected...especially
since I would think people torn between Sonic/Sandbag would probably
vote for Sandbag in today's GameFAQs. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

It's why I specifically said competing with a 360 character and
Sonic for the day vote, especially that her in 2008 the shifts aren't
so pronounced as they used to be. I swear to god no one reads posts in
these topics anymore... or at least doesn't care enough to actually
understand what they say. Once again, "shifts not being pronounced" is more a result that we haven't really seen completely polarizing characters against eachother, and when we do, the result is softened by the fact that those characters aren't competing against other opposite characters. I think Dante and Sonic have shown that the trends are just as pronounced as ever, it's just that we haven't had any close matches like that where it is really obvious. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

L-Block beats everything but top-fodder easily. I mean hell, L-Block v Vyse. I loved SoA and would be voting Vyse but you think he has a chance in hell?

Can't read this now, but what is the consensus of Dante/Leon now? BTW, I still think that it was more of giving Leon a RE2 pic, I think that a big part of his votes comes from RE4 --- Please, don't insult me - Vlado about British blood SSBB FC code - 3007-9626-4713 |

I think consensus is still that Riku places above Leon. I think it'll be close and hope Leon will take it. --- Because he's a better character. |

I still think it's weird that WCC can take first over Tidus yet Sandbag can't beat Magus... That's because WCC also gets votes for being a loveable character, while the Sandbag only got lulz and "OMG it's in Brawl!!". Besides Sandbag is also facing characters who have done well in the character battles, while DK, Tidus are perhaps the two biggest failures, and Tails never was that strong. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

Crono lost a full % with the ASV when there was no ASV beast in the
poll whatsoever, it's likely will go at least that and to be fair
Sandbag has shown signs of having a decent day vote with his morning
vote. It's a long shot but I just have zero faith in a CT character
during the day vote, Sandbag won't rip up anything but if Magus
collapses enough maybe he can get in reach. --- Smurf , The cream of Knuckles Fanboyism. |

losing to Knuckles isnt saying he's a 'failure'; that's just us over-estimating his x-stat value. Knuckles would have had a close match with Tidus as well. --- *is Dranze* Dedede/Pit/Ryu/Zero - Bracket: Zero > RyuH - Vote: Zero (53/64) |

I loved that match. Every upset at least had someone predicted it on Board 8, but NONE had Knux > Magus. But that's the only time Magus really failed, Tidus on the other hand has failed almost as much as DK and Kefka. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

I still think it's weird that WCC can take first over Tidus yet Sandbag can't beat Magus.. Sandbag only has joke votes, whereas WCC gets joke votes plus portal fanbase. People in Brawl don't really care about sandbag, but people who like portal usually lurve the cube. Remember how weak L-Block was last year in his first match; I'd expect Sandbag to be around there unless a bandwagon effect got a hold of him (and it probably won't have a chance to do that since he's most likely losing this round). Portal fanbase here seems to be pretty substantial. I'd expect it to wreck face in a games contest. GlaDOS, despite having a nigh unrecognizable name and pic, did fairly well. WCC is much closer to the series actual strength IMHO. --- "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 |

Every upset at least had someone predicted it on Board 8, but NONE had Knux > Magus. I had it because I never for a second bought the Magus hype given that he let Sam come way to close and brough Tidus and Ganon suspiciously high in the x-stats, IIRC I had a bet with Ulti to such an effect. My favorite vs his favorite, there was only going to be one winner. ^_^ --- Smurf , The cream of Knuckles Fanboyism. |

Tidus on the other hand has failed almost as much as DK and Kefka no he didnt. he falls in the same boat. i dont get you people. you overestimate a character or they have a close match, and suddenly they're a "failure", yet, through their matches, he's STILL comparable to Magus in strength. why are you so biased? there's no reason to consider him thatweaker than Magus simply because he's Tidus. --- *is Dranze* Dedede/Pit/Ryu/Zero - Bracket: Zero > RyuH - Vote: Zero (53/64) |

Karma, Knuckles was the bracket favourite for that match so if you
expect there to be some significant novelty reaction from the voters
because a handful of x-stat humpers called it wrong don't even stop

At this rate, Magus will be up around 2300 by the time the ASV starts.
I've been burned too many times by CT to feel completely safe here, but
I think that should be out of Sandbag's reach. He's only won 2 hours so
far, and couldn't even cut 200 votes off Magus's lead. Vincent beat
Crono badly during the dead zone and Axel cut Frog there, while Sandbag
let Magus continue building his lead. Sonic and Vincent were both
slowly gaining on Crono during the DSV, while Magus is pulling in
53-54% (of Magus/Sandbag votes) hours right now. I think Crono's
proportion to Sonic/Vincent during the DSV was within 1% of his final
percentage.....these DSV gains should be too much for Sandbag to
overcome. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 88/112 --- T-300 (103 way) Bracket: Sonic > Magus --- Vote: Magus |

Still, even if Sandbag gets by Magus here, I don't think there's any
question he's far less of a "threat" than WCC. WCC is pretty much a
static entity like L for all intents and purposes, Sandbag is like a
hybrid of jokeyness and SSB power. The latter portion of that
combination will lead to his downfall, especially considering his SSB
support is getting sapped. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Who can forget when the board got SMURF'D as Knuckles took the lead over Magus with 1 vote. I remember getting suspended for a few hours because I reported so much for vote stuffing in that one.

if you expect there to be some significant novelty reaction from the voters because a handful of x-stat humpers called it wrong It's not the voter base at large that matters (to an extent). It's not even the board. It's the rallying that the board does, legit and otherwise, and any fool there saw there was a TON during that match.

On Magus vs. Tidus, Magus was slightly stronger in 2003 based on matches with Ganon. 2004, Tidus barely beat Shadow, and Magus almost beat Knuckles the next year when Sonic Team was arguably stronger and CT arguably weaker. If you think Knuckles is a good deal stronger than Shadow, then Magus does look substantially stronger than Tidus. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 88/112 --- T-300 (103 way) Bracket: Sonic > Magus --- Vote: Magus |

I wouldn't be surprised if Knux now is stronger than Shadow but I could be wrong. It just seems to me that Shadow gets more hated for every year, I really doubt that Knuckles would lose to Zidane considering that Knux won over more popular FF characters in the past. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

Knuckles is at Shadow level. they performed equaly in pretty much every contest (except 2003) this year i'd say Knuckles sucked a bit more actually. |
