Any percentage, as long as he wins. Literally.

If he does as well as Sonic did on Sub/Prince/Joe (like, 39%), I'd say he's in very good shape.

Last year


Sonic: 39%
Sub-Zero: 32%


So there's an idea on where to look.

This reminds me. Rydia is in the contest, but Rikku isn't? Waste of potential. Also, Rydia sucks.

And no Yuna, who made it to the third round last year and easily beat Alucard and Liquid, who both did very well in round 1 this year.

Rydia is way better than Rikku.

Although I'll admit that Rikku is easily the most surprising character to not return.

Because Yuna was boring as hell in last contest, while Rikku was the key to making the first match interesting.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/16/2008 2:27:24 PM | message detail
There's no way Sandbag keeps this pace up. Magus starts stalling him at 7 and probably starts winning consistant updates again by 9. We see this pattern every year, why would it be different today?

Also, lol at all the "trends are diluted" arguments. Like I said, we haven't had any really polarizing characters so far this year like we do today.

If Sandbag does manage to come back, I say he does have a chance to win round 2. Auron is much more main-stream then Sonic and who else will be there? Sub Zero? Also main-stream.

I can't believe that there are actually people on THIS forum rooting for Sandbag. What the **** is wrong with you? Did you start playing video games 2 weeks ago?



Magus is my third favorite character, and I'm rooting for him to lose. Grow up.

Also, I have a feeling that Magus wouldn't be rallied nearly as much as Frog.

Frog is a fan-favourite, Magus is a lame, worthless optional character that sucks in battle and is generally boring.

Very much doubt it. Auron would be a lock to win that poll, which means that Sandbag would need enough of a static joke fanbase and Smash support to outlast Sonic. This isn't L-Block vs. Kirby. There's no way I see that happening.

Why? Its not like Nintendo characters don't already do great as it is, they don't need joke characters to do great as well.

Frog's peak lead was also significantly lower than Magus's, meaning Magus is losing votes that much faster.
