At the very least Ganon should be able to get his LttP sprite. Not fantastice, but better than the giant turd he got last year. --- CB7 Score: 120/160 http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b146/KleenexTissue501/MrSaturn-WalkFront.gif || http://64.81.113.250/a-kon-12/000177.jpg |

Yeah. Ganon's LTTP sprite isn't too bad. It's not nearly as good as his artwork, but it'll be better than the Zelda 1 mess. --- try to imagine a thing called a B button |

Kinda funny in a way this match. We have Frog
here and he's only 400 votes behind from advancing (aka: he's in a
close match), and yet, we're not caring in the slightest bit since we
all know the miracle's not happening. --- sig |

Nice performance by Frog, trashy one by Nightmare. Frog might end up
below 20% by the time this is all said and done because he's facing
three day characters, but still solid. I'll take Vincent > Samus
next round regardless of who's there, by the way! ...Not even sure if my bracket has it, but I'm takin' it NOW! That's right! Actually, I'm not that confident in it, but if Falco's there, I'd almost call it a lock. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Personally, I'd say Nightmare's doing pretty well. Here's his match last year: (Snake / Nightmare / Zero / Riku) http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2908&num=4 While Samus / Snake and Riku / Frog may be debatable, we at least know Ganon > Zero, so this is probably a better pack than the one he was in last year. Last year's match, he didn't even break 14. Here, he probably reaches 15%. --- sig |

Last year he didn't have Samus and Ganondorf SFFing eachother. As for this talk of Vincent > Samus, if Mega Man couldn't do it with Yoshi in the poll, then Vincent definitely won't with just Ganondorf. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

I suppose Nightmare's doing okay, but I expected him to give Frog a bit
of a run. He's probably going to finish farther from Frog than Frog
does from Ganon. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Yesterday's chart: Time | Mario | Zelda | Mega Man X | Sadkip EBV | 31.32% | 19.46% | 30.87% | 18.35% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 28.23% | 19.12% | 30.53% | 22.12% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 28.66% | 19.79% | 30.94% | 20.61% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 32.99% | 21.00% | 27.99% | 18.01% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 32.45% | 20.61% | 30.41% | 16.53% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 31.87% | 19.85% | 29.04% | 19.24% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 28.92% | 20.31% | 33.66% | 17.11% | (22:00-24:00) Huh, Mudkip lost the board vote. Looks like Mario won it, though he didn't do so well after that. He had an unusually bad Power Hour. In fact, his night vote was slightly better. Mudkip was the only one who did better with the Power Hour than he did at night. Zelda didn't have a great Power Hour either. X has a pretty bad morning vote, but does better with the ASV. Mario makes a noticeable leap come morning time and never slows down until nightfall. Yesterday's stats: Mario – 50.00% Mega Man X – 49.13% Princess Zelda – 39.29% Mudkip – 37.82% Division 2, Bottom Half Mario – 50.00% Mega Man X – 49.13% Princess Zelda – 39.29% Mudkip – 37.82% Knuckles the Echidna – 34.05% Lloyd Irving – 26.68% Fei Fong Wong – 25.78% Tom Nook – 16.00% Zelda actually did 1.5% better directly against Mario here than last time, so I decided to give her the better value. I thought about giving Mudkip his first round value, too (since he did about 2% worse on X here), but it makes him slightly stronger than Zelda, so I decided against it. Looks like Fei vs. Lloyd would be a debatable match! Also, with how Mario and Mudkip did slightly worse on Zelda and X (comparatively) by close to the same amount, I wonder if there wasn't a little LFF there. Perhaps Mudkip would've beaten Zelda if Mario hadn't been there. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Yeah, Frog is still gaining on Nightmare at about the same rate Ganon
is on him, and he's twice as far ahead. Ganondorf will have to make a
killing with the ASV to do that, and Nightmare will have to start
cutting at least a little bit. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Yeah, that's the really strange thing- it's as if Ganondorf weren't affecting her at all. That's only if we look at Nightmare looking at what Samus is getting on Ganondorf now and what Ganondorf got on Frog last round Samus/Frog is pretty close to last year's two values. I think Nightmare just flopped. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 113/160 Today's Match: Samus > Ganondorf |

Well, Samus is going to end up comfortably over a doubling on Frog:
yes, that's the best showing Frog has ever put up on her, but I
expected rather more from Samus/Ganon LFF. Certainly it is impacting
Ganon more; he put up nearly 65% on Frog last round and it looks like
he will wind up with 55% or so today. Ganon is also now 3% or so behind
his 2005 performance against Samus. --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 118/164 --- T-354 (89 way) Bracket: Samus > Frog --- Vote: Frog |

Snake did a lot better on Nightmare in round 2 last year than round 1.
You can chalk it up to Nightmare facing absolute crap in round 1, just
like last year. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Nightmare is going to be hard to place on the x-stats then. If we go by
what he got against Samus in round 1 then he's above adjusted Frog, We
can't really use Samus round 2 since she's being LFF and if we use an
adjusted Frog we'll end up with Nightmare being below Crash. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 113/160 Today's Match: Samus > Ganondorf |

This makes me feel a bit better about Samus even if she's facing a
triple split with Falco in the mix, but I still have to consider
Vincent the favorite in that scenario based on what we've seen. I can
only hope that she'll be further aided by a cool Super Metroid sprite

...does this mean people actually thought Liquid was stronger than Luigi? no that was MARIO SFF not Nintendo SFF silly the sad thing is I'm serious I can only hope that she'll be further aided by a cool Super Metroid sprite while everyone else gets junk. Samus' performances with her SM sprite include an okay Rikku performance, letting Sora (mildly) overperform on her and getting obliterated by the guy we nearly saw lose to Mega Man X. This isn't even going into her original Metroid sprite performance last year - as a matter of practice, thanks to SSB/MP Samus is probably the Noble Nine character least helped by sprites after Snake. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

getting one of those dreadful face pics Fox got last year. She could go

Luigi > Dante Vincent > Mario Dante was beastin' in his first round match, and that was with ridiculous rallying just slaughtering his %. He's on the heels of DMC4, and Chief just look awful. I'd take Dante and Chief over Luigi with a fair balance of overlap in a match, but it's way too geared towards a Luigi over performance to not have him in first. Then I just think Dante's stronger than MC this year, though I could certainly still be wrong. Vincent > Mario seems pretty obvious to me... dunno. Also never say this match sucks again. Anytime Samus beasts (always) it's a marvelous match. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

I would think Samus's SM spite is better for her than Vincent's sprite

As for Samus/Pigboy/Vincent/Not Falco, I'd feel pretty good with Samus
> Vincent in that match. Seeing what Samus is able to do to Ganon
this round is all the confidence I need for it. Throw in ganon sprite
and yeah, it should only do her favors. Vincent's first round
performance wasn't too great, and we saw how he fell apart against
elite competition last year. Granted this isn't quite the same caliber,
but Samus should be able to eek it out. Replacing Not Falco with Falco, it becomes much cloudier, and I'd expect Vincent to be the favorite, but I'll let my Samus fanboyism still take her, but narrowly. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

Yeah, but what if Vinnie gets that ugly dark thing he got against Crono? He still put up 45% on Crono (back when that meant something) and, in retrospect, proved to be the strongest non-Noble that year with that match. Put it another way - make it Samus Aran vs Vincent Valentine without pictures, and I'm fairly confident VV gives her a scare. Samus is much more dependent on her badass design than any character outside of the Ryu Hs and Altairs of the world. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |
