I'm rather surprised at Duke this year, i don't recall him having this much power before.

Now Marth is in danger of getting shoved out of contention by Altair, you think the Brawl fans will attempt to rally for him tomorrow?

this isn't duke being strong, just everyone here being low-midcard. link and zack will have their way with whoever gets out of here

But before 2007, his one win was against Iori Yagami - and I don't know who he is, only that he's from the King of Fighters series.

Master Moltar | Posted 10/20/2008 10:28:12 PM | message detail
Well yeah, but his other matches were against Ryu and Cloud Strife, no way does Duke even touch them.

Since 2007 though, he's gotten a lot of low-midcard opponents, which is great for him.

Same here. After all, his one win pre-2007 was way back in 2002.

Hmm, interesting. This is the first match that definitively showed me Pokemon/Nintendo LFF. Based on Pikachu and Mewtwo last year, I was holding out hope that Marth would win by avoiding LFF. I guess not. :(

Eh, I thought Duke was more high fodder myself, but ever since his R1 match last year, he definitely looks to be a low-midcarder.

Didn't think that all these characters would be down there with him though augh

That was up for debate? Am I reading this right...you thought Nintendo and Pokemon characters wouldn't share a fanbase? Do you have shrapnel lodged in your brain?

Today: Lucario > Marth
Japago | Posted 10/20/2008 10:37:16 PM | message detail
It seems logical that they would. But based on Pikachu and Mewtwo, like I tried it out.

Pikachu did worse in relation to Tidus when Issac was removed. Ryu did only 6% worse in relation to Bowser when Toad and Mewtwo were removed.

But yeah, feel free to laugh at me :).

Right now, I'd say that 30% is pretty much a lock for Altair. If he's above 29% before the ASV, he'll go berserk then and easily break 30%.

Altair looked like he might have some decent strength in the first round, but if he can't even beat Duke hes nothing special.

you know, I bet Duke holds up great against Link. I could see him having a nice performance there -- probably not enough to take down Zack, but Duke getting 20% wouldn't surprise me.

I dunno. If Bacon wants the oldest of the old school playable models, Duke is going to be at his weakest.

Don't think Bacon wants the earliest possible, just one from a 2D appearance.

six bullets. more than enough to kill anything that moves.

You know, this match makes a scenario where both Alucard and Arthas advance a lot more realistic.

Liking Duke's chances at holding onto first now! He should be at 1200 by the next update, if he keeps this pace and he's got another 3 hours to go before the morning hits.

I like the fact that Altair is also gaining (albeit relatively steadily) while the Nintendo characters are just dying off. They'll be getting the lion's share of the day vote, further worsening his chances.

Na, Altair only needs a passable day vote to keep this lead safe, and he demonstrated that last round. It does, however, make Duke's lead safer. I'm not even expecting the Duke to have a day vote meltdown, though... not with such a casual friendly pic.

Well Altair had a damn good day vote last round.. but so did Marth. So not sure. Not a big enough difference for Marth to come back from 2k down or however far he'll be down though

And if all the joke characters get crushed this round my bracket won't be totally destroyed!

So, Link>Zack is a guarantee in the next round then, eh?

Looks like the Kefka>Altair pick in this round isn't going to hurt me as much as I thought too. So kind of Altair to get second, as I slowly creep back into the game and yet again threaten to make the leaderboard. Don't worry it won't happen though.

Altair has been doing pretty good at stalling Duke for the past hour. There's still hope for his ASV to kick in later today and come close or even possibly take the lead over Duke.
