Once the power hour is over, don't be surprise at all for Ryu to take the lead from block... but meh, he'll likely lose it during the day

Mumei | Posted 10/25/2008 9:17:16 PM | message detail
Yeah. She's a good bet to be one of those characters who can always pull in mid-teens at least, regardless of what competition you throw in there.

Hey, hey.

She got 11.93% against Leon / Dante / Pikachu last year, and is pulling down ~15% against Crono / L-Block / Ryu.

She's doing awesome.

I'm thinking this is over.

So, does L-Block actually have a chance to lose in the later rounds now?

If Ryu made it through this match, he is going to advantage of square SFF(like last year) and beat the hell out of Vincent and Crono, go RYU go.

This is far from over, but if L-block doesn't lose here I'd think it would be over.

lol, as I said earlier, I'd have no idea where to rally for Ryu in a way it would be significant at all. You can't just find thousands of people on a fighter forum at once all loyal enough to vote for Ryu over L Block like you can with Blizz characters

Whoa, mega Wii port boost.

Probably not as big as it seems from that match, but it probably increased her basic hardcore "will vote her over anything" base by a few percentage points.

If she does do so much better in the day because of her design, though, I wonder if we'll see such a good day vote this match with more popular competition, leaving her with just her hardcore fanbase.

So, does L-Block actually have a chance to lose in the later rounds now?

All depends on if Block has a set strength this year and doesn't pick up steam as the contest goes on. I've argued it won't get stronger as it goes, but we'll have to see how this match goes. If Block wins, the answer is 'no.' If Crono keeps this up, we'll have to see next round.

L-Block will probably win the day vote, as horrifying as that sounds. But he's not going to demolish anyone with it, so Crono just needs to build a decent-sized lead overnight. I'm not ready yet to think about the wonderful possibility of Ryu beating L-Block here.....although, it may not even be necessary: if L ends up below 28% here, it indicates he may be less static than before, and can lose in the quarterfinals.

Round 2 L-Block's lead over Ryu: 202 (up 12)
Round 1 L-Block's lead over Ryu: 329 (up 33)

Ryu is doing much better, though remember he lost by over 300 votes and people could rally for L-Block if needed.

Ryu would have to build a lead over 1500 overnight for me to even consider him comfortable. Crappy day vote or not, SOMEBODY has to be there to pick up all the percentage Crono and Ryu will be dropping during the day.
