I'd take L-Block in the bracket over Amaterasu, although I think both can find a nice home there.

If anyone has a shot at taking down L on their own merits next round, it might be Pikachu. Unlikely, but with enough fluking one way or another, it's possible.

This is a boring match. I'll try and put together a nice field of 64 to pass the time (assuming no company/series/game cap).

Just woke up. This match makes me proud, because it's an obvious prelude to L-Block losing :D

Well, we're both getting 4 points, so it's not really a great choice for me. Plus, you've got better odds if L-Block makes it out of round 3.

But thanks anyways!

The problem with this result is that Pikachu could weaken Crono enough for L-block to sneak through.

Hmmm? The link seems to be very tenuous to me. Yeah, they're both RPGs, but they're very different sorts of RPGs that aren't likely to appeal to the same sorts of people. Yeah, they're both Nintendo, but as popular as the gameboy was back then, you can't really assume that someone having it is going to be a Nintendo diehard with all the other Nintendo consoles.

Crono should dominate next round. Ryu and Amaterasu are far stronger than any possible combination of 2 characters from tomorrow's 4-pack. If Alucard and Pikachu are there, I think it may go 38/30/18/14 or so.

Ammy's getting 34% of the vote on Crono.

Quick! Someone do an x-stat calculation based on Crono's 2k6 value to see how awesome Ammy is!

Well, Alucard was projected through Auron to get 32.40% on Crono in 2006, so I'd take Ammy over Alucard now.

Every time a new round started,
it will gain vote from ASIA user first because some part of Asia is already morning and afternoon..

Should there be a new factor called ASIA EARLY VOTE FACTOR (AEVF) ??

Amaterasu is closer to Ryu than Ryu is to Crono, and it looks like it will stay that way as Ryu hasn't gained any percentage on Crono in a few hours....he's actually slowly losing ground to Crono now.

I would prefer Clinkeroth to be in the main bracket. There's nothing like Link and Cloud trying to outdo each other's performances for 4 or 5 rounds before their epic showdown. Also, while I wouldn't expect any of them to pull it off, I'd like Samus and Snake (and post CTDS Crono!) to have an opportunity to try to take down Seph.

Oh, no, you have the GoW Kratos. And I guess ToS Kratos is pretty weak now...

I would still put in Diablo. Diablo III will probably give him a nice boost.

I considered all of those suggestions, believe it or not. I gave most consideration to Ike and Ocelot. Ocelot... I see no reason to put him in over Jill now (let alone after RE5), and I'm not sure if Ike has enough to actually win a match.

Not enough balance in the bracket, with the current situation you've got characters like KOS-MOS or Raiden being brought along only to be punching bag 16 seeds for the Noble 9. You need the likes of Tales and Xbox characters to fill that important role and not kill joys who'll break 20%.

Possibly (I'm skeptical of how Arthas can do without benefiting from a split + 4-ways helping rallying), but just saying. If you're going to put in Captain Falcon, who is basically CF : Melee, Ike : Brawl, you might as well put in Ike.

Well, we'd have to cut some midcarders for the sake of bigger first round blowouts. Doesn't matter to me one way or another, since you're right in that those weaker characters will have a very tough time winning a match, regardless.

You also didn't put anyone in the Star Fox category. Or am I missing something?

And if you're basing this on who will get in and not on who deserves to get in, throw in some cult characters like Laharl.

Marcus (GoW 2)
Marth (after his 1st-round match + a DS remake coming out, I say he deserves a spot)
Nero (depending on how he does this round)
Zidane (Dissidia woo)
Proto Man (to shut BT up)

If you're going to throw Kefka on there, I see no reason why any of these should be excluded.
