Falco would have ended up with like 5% or some absurdly low percentage
anyway. Look at his performance now, and then replace Gordon and
Scorpion with Samus and Ganon, who will SFF him... --- Evvivan: Character Battle VII --- Score: 118/164 --- T-354 (89 way) Bracket: Samus > Frog --- Vote: Frog |

One on one match Sub Zero vs Scorpion. Who wins? Sub-Zero would rock him. Really, this is like asking whether voters prefer blue or yellow (ew). Scorp has an advantage with GET OVER HERE, but Sub-Zero has freeze attacks. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITS Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Fayt_Esteed (#171) We've never seen Falco before and didn't know his real strength, so it shouldnt be a surprise that he might not be as strong as we pegged him at.

I love how Gordon keeps going up in % despite Vincent going up from his board vote. And the pic is hurting Scorpion a bit, but he would still be losing handily to Freeman with a better one. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Oh wow. Great job from Gordon here. He's definitely come a long way from his GFNW days if he's heading to round 3 over Scorpion. Too bad Falco died right after the power hour.

Damn Falco. What a miserable showing by him. His recovery in the day won't amount to much considering what he's headed to. Is the picture hurting him or something? Or maybe a combination of that and last place factor. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

creativename (#098) I don't see his percentage getting any better even at day... because Vincent h as no where to go but up seeing old FF7 trends, so everyone else should go down in percentage --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Falco's easy to call - Vincent underperformed significantly last round
(like all the obvious favorites), which means you needed to compare him
to GlaDOS. Which, for all her strengths, is a character whose name is
never mentioned in her game (a la Wander). Couple that with her "wtf"
picture (even if there is nothing else), and the fact that Falco had to
distance himself from her at all should have spelled bad things for him. Even if you want to say that's 20/20 hindsight in action there, Falco was never going to be on Fox's level. Or even close. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

7 people fell off the top 50 today. DarkBladeDuck, PumpkinCoach,
Lukejalil, Zylothewolf, DeepThoatFox, Xeno378 and SirAlexTrebek did not
have Samus > Ganondorf as yesterday's winners. 3 people scored half points and survived. Former first place TalkAboutCesc, Demon_HunterX and M_e_g_a_6_4 also did not have Samus > Ganondorf as yesterday's winners. --- What do you think of the planetarium?

| Wow Falco totally crashed there. I didn't think
he'd drop to dead last in this round since i was sure he was gonna at
least get past Scorpion. Now i'm even more worried about Crono in the match after this. If Falco died this quickly, i'd hate to imagine Crono getting crushed by Ryu and Amaterasu in a major upset. --- BC: 0774-7368-9787 name: EDS "Casual player" so dont count me in for no item matches. |

In general it seems many of the Nintendo characters are not performing
as well as many predicted. Falco was thought to be a near lock for 2nd
given his round 1 performance. Then we saw Captain Falcon totally smash Diddy Kong to oblivion. My shock was when Sandbag ousted Magus, whom many thought was gonna get at least to round 2 which he didn't. Then we had X against Mario with Zelda and Mudkip, sure SFF was rampant there, but Mario actually panicked on that match before recovering with the day vote to steal the lead back from X. The point is: Many of the Nintendo midcarders are suddenly nosediving so fast that suddenly they seem worse than CATS and that's saying something. --- BC: 0774-7368-9787 name: EDS "Casual player" so dont count me in for no item matches. |
