This reminds me that I'm gonna to want to punch AH by the end of this round. He's been worst than BT.

I really hope Crono doesn't manage to blow this somehow.

As for Ryu, he looks done sadly... same pattern as last year with this thing, it looks like to me at least.

L-Block is good for second here. Ryu has only gotten 5 cuts so far and L-Block's lead is soon to break 1500. Then in round 3, L-Block is up against either Pikachu/Arthas or Pikachu/Alucard, and they are even weaker than Ryu.

Well if there's anyone you'd want to have a 1700 lead over you at the end of the night it'd be a CT character. If Crono can only go 50/50 now there's a good shot that he could lose the entire rest of the day with it being a weekend match.

It's scary to see how jaded we have become when it comes to CT and it's voting trends. Of course, when Magus bleeds a 2000 vote lead to a bag of sand, one can see why.

Crono's no worse with the day than Ryu. L's cutting 1000 votes tops here. Crono's safe.

It's odd that Ryu is stalling L-Block now... doesn't the morning vote start about now? Or is it a little later to start on Sundays?

I suppose L does not have the day vote pedigree that Sonic, MC, Axel, Sandbag, and the rest of the characters that have made huge vote swing come backs against CT characters, but looking at the competition, none of them are day vote monsters anyway.

Well, as long as Crono keeps making the gains, even the minimal ones, then he should be safe.

This is the first we've ever seen Block under 28% isn't it?

Whoo, Ammy's at 16%!

Demon HunterX | Posted 10/26/2008 4:37:28 AM | message detail
i feel ammy is gonna have an overlooked performance. These are 2 characters who get N9 vote totals and ryu, a top mid carder. Ammy getting 16% is pretty impressive.

Yeah, the lowest percentage we've seen him with before this match was 28.29% near the end of the Kirby/Kratos/DK match.

I love how people are attributing a male pronoun to the Block. Don't give in, dammit! It's not a character, it's an inanimate object...!

Just woke up, and Ammy pulled down about 19% of the vote for the 5th and 6th hours, and just over 17% these past two hours.

L-Block has a better chance of beating Crono here than it does next round, I would think. I would bet Ammy and Ryu > whoever advances next round, leaving more percentage for Crono to gobble up.

Hopefully Crono gets all the anti block train behind him after beating the thing twice,resulting in him wining the whole contest.

The thing from another world lives to wreck more brackets,I wonder if the block should make it to the final,cloud voters will jump ship to link in order to bring back a serious winner.

The morning vote is really killing Ryu here. After the Euro Day Vote Crono seems to be stablizing.

If there's no Link vs. The Internet at the final rounds I think the best L-Block can do is second.

I actually don't think L will make the finals.

He's showing to have normal voting trends this year, not the static ones of last year.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/26/2008 8:15:23 AM | message detail
Looks like it's a combination of both. If he is completely normal, he shouldn't be beating Ryu this easily now. At the very least, he still seems locked into the quarterfinals, where he could take advantage of another 50/50 battle with Vincent and Crono (doubt either of them will be getting over 25% there unless L-Block completely bombs, in which case this is all moot). From there, it's a semifinal match against Link, Samus, and Mario/X/Zack, in which I think L-Block remains the favorite for second. All in all, I'd say that blocky will still probably make the finals, but it's looking nowhere near as locked as a few weeks ago.
