If the block can't do a comeback here (and it's very likely that it will come second to Crono again next round), then this Samus/Vincent/Crono/Block match has become my most anticipated match this year!

Go Crono! Protect your nobility!

Round 2 L-Block's lead over Ryu: 580 (up 42)
Round 1 L-Block's lead over Ryu: 491 (up 0)

Ryu cuts next update. At least Crono is winning.

Yep, Samus/Crono/Vincent/L-Block looks to be THE match of the contest, as it deserves. I think Crono will probably beat L-Block easily next round with weaker competition and sprites, and then we shall see.....

As much as I'd love to see Crono make it out of there, Crono/Vincent/L-Block is pretty much the perfect opportunity for L to get out of there with Samus.

I don't see any possible way L-block loses to Crono/Vincent. This actually makes that a horrible match, unless you're entertained by a tight race for 3rd.
red sox 777 | Posted 10/25/2008 9:50:08 PM | message detail
Well, L-Block doesn't look static anymore. If he were static, he should be annihilating Ryu now given that he beat him last round and Ryu is well behind Crono as opposed to well ahead of Meta-Knight. Yet, L-Block is barely further ahead of him than he was last round.

hate to burst your bubble but L is not taking as many early votes by design. last year he needed them to stay in the race, now that he is established were making things more fun. don't fool yourself L has a large contingent of voters who are waiting to make a counter rally on there votes alone, never mind what will happen when the real rallying goes down.

L will take the lead outright for good with more than 1 hour to go, and will have safely secured second with several hours to spare, book it.

uhhh I don't think Block is gaining momentum this year. Last year, it could get it because OMG IT'S NEW AND EXCITING WE CAN RUIN GAMEFAQS POLLS LINK/CLOUD WILL NOT WIN. Now it's kinda old and don't think the internet cares anymore because they have done it last year. I could be wrong though (hopefully not)

Thinking about this, if L does go onto win the contest, and Crono beats him twice... Cronos x-stats will be off the wall next year.

The fact that Luster still finds L funny might as well be the best proof you can find that the joke is lame now.

Well, I'm liking L to lose in R4. This isn't lookin "static"

Well Crono seems to be holding him off of first for now, but that will likely change when the day vote comes.

The question is: Will L-Block make first or second to advance, or will Ryu get his revenge on him for that beating he suffered in round 1?

About an hour before the end of the poll, if im317 has anything to say about it.

I won't be stuffing for Block, though. I'll just be cheering it on.
...and slinking away into the background if it loses. (Like any good bandwagoner!)

Crono is making big gains on L-Block consistently now. At the 1 hour mark, Crono has 58.19% of Crono/Ryu votes. Vincent ended with 62.05% of Vincent/Gordon votes yesterday. How far is Ryu from Gordon?

hey who's to say the block is not already a solid mid-carder this year after all the hypes last year. no big rallies outside GameFAQs are needed to achieve this tbqh

but it's not beating the elites without the internet, and since Samus/Vincent/Crono match is the first where it will fight all elites (just like Snake/Sonic/Squall/Block last year), that's THE match where we'll see whether the internet will get behind it again or not, and whoever wins between the three (samus is given, right?) will likely go to the final with Link.
