Why?? Well, just my sense.. I think Alucard will manage to get a good margin before ASV start. But, what the heck?? I am rallying for Pikachu in some local site.. So beware Alucard!! --- DECLARE YOURSELF ASIA |

idyvino (#149) I don't think ASV will succumb Alucard lead.. Why? Castlevania sucks with the day vote. Pokemon has a good day vote.

The only chance Pikachu has of losing this match is if either Alucard
picks up the pace, or Falcon takes all of the ASV support for some
freaky reason. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

I think Alucard will manage to get a good margin before ASV start. At the rate he's working? No, he's not. Frog had a 1900 vote lead on Axel last year. When the ASV hit, Frog was losing 400 votes per hour. Alucard won't be getting such a lead before teh ASV starts. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4!

Alucard maybe can still in the lead if he manages to build a 2000+ margin against Pikachu before this ASV start. But, I can tell you that in my country and some neighboring country, PIKACHU is the HOT favorite for this round. --- DECLARE YOURSELF ASIA |

You can't compare Pokémon with KH. Kingdom Hearts and HALO are the only two fanbases that cut that much. And that's only against CT characters... I say Alucard has to get above 1300 or so.

Wow, looks like Pikachu's going to beat Alucard even with Captain

did (or he split Pikachu more evenly, somehow). ...And I just realized it's Crono/L-Block/Pikachu/Alucard in the sprite round. ...I really hate this contest.

Crono had it beat from the start. This might be the most impressive performance Crono has had in a couple of years. He dropped a little bit in the early morning, but other than that, he held up really well with the day vote. Matter of fact, Crono, L-Block, and Ryu all held up rather well with the day vote. I guess when your only day vote competition is Amaterasu, everything turns out to be a wash! Pikachu's gonna have fun with Crono, L-Block, and Alucard next round. Yesterday's stats: Crono – 50.00% L-Block – 46.37% Ryu – 42.63% Amaterasu – 33.71% Division 4, Top Half Crono – 50.00% L-Block – 46.37% Ryu – 42.63% Meta Knight – 35.56% Amaterasu – 33.71% The Dog – 26.17% Frank West – 23.79% Kaim Argonar – 13.51% I adjusted Frank and Kaim off of Ammy's new value, which is about 1.5% lower than what she got last round. Not a huge difference, but I figure she might have done better last round due to the OFaSPF (Obvious First and Second Place Factor) and NNUF (Noble Nine Underperformance Factor). Still, Ammy does rather well, not that far from Meta Knight. I adjusted L-Block's fourpack off of Ryu here since he's (obviously) more reliable than the Block. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

And it still looks like Ryu is good for 40% on a Noble Niner! By the way, for everyone still saying Pikachu gets anti-voted, characters who have board votes like that don't tell me they're hated. Seriously, Pika's board vote is crazy. His status has changed a lot since 2003. Not takin' him over Knuckles (like some were discussing last topic), but he wouldn't be too far off. And EC must have forgotten the turd DK laid last round if he still takes DK > Fox! Also saw someone (think it was KH) expecting Freeman to beat Bacondorf next round. Luigi was barely able to do it with the most recognizable sprite in the world. I doubt Gordon does it. Sure, Samus leeching and all, but still...Who knows? Maybe he will. I'd love to have a good laugh at Ganondorf! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Man, Ammy really did do well. If you took away the majority of the
MK-votes that were solely to thwart L-Block, that would put MK and Ammy
even closer. Same goes for Ryu too, actually...very good showing. I'll ask this four-way match again since it got overlooked last time: Amaterasu Fox McCloud Gordon Freeman Sub-Zero --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Gordon impressed last round and I wouldn't expect Bacondorf to hold up
too well to Samus (last year would suggest Bacondorf could lose up to
4% on Samus in the sprite round since that's what he lost on Luigi),
especially with diverse and respectable alternatives like Vincent and
Gordon. I figure Gordon's not going to outdo Frog by ~5%, but I
wouldn't count on Ganon doing as well next round either... ...it'd be REALLY fun to watch that "upset" happen though. GFNW..... --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Sub-Zero > Fox Subby beat Gordon cleanly last time. Don't see any reason for that to change. Fox is a few steps above Falco, looks like, and Ammy is just a little out of their leagues, I think. She'd do well, but I can't see her winning. Part of Chief and Pika's strength in 4-ways is the reduced effect of anti-votes. That's what we've said, but there's no way to prove that since we haven't seen Pikachu since 2003. MC looks more normal than last year, that's for sure. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

...actually, comparing Bacondorf's non-Nintendo opponents between last

I'd take Yuna over Gordon, and last year...Vinny and MC are pretty
close, I'd imagine. It's a wash, basically. Samus being there makes the
pack much stronger though overall. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Damn, looks like Pikachu will have to wait until the ASV to make his
move. Also I had Ike coming into this match and I still had Pikachu
winning, what was I thinking? At least Arthas winning saved me a net
worth of 2 points. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 129/184 Today's Match: Pikachu > Alucard |

Oh, not arguing that about Samus, just trying to compare how people
looking for alternatives outside of Nintendo may go for Bacondorf.
Turns out they're pretty similar to last year though; Yuna/MC and
Vincent/Gordon couldn't be too far off, and Yuna/Vincent are big-name
FF-characters while Gordon/MC are big-name FPS-characters. It's all up
to Samus to see how bad she wants to hurt him next round, I guess. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Here's my attempt to explain the results. Ike LFF Pikachu more than Falcon and likewise Pikachu is SFF Falcon more than Ike. This however makes Falcon stronger than Ike, which could be true given his performance last round and Alucard's performance this round.

All this means is that Ike is stronger than Falcon, and thus hurts
Pikachu more. Arthas for some inexplicable reason gets most of his
strength from WoW, and the 10 year old WoW drones have never played
Warcraft 3. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

I'm impressed Alucard has even held on this long considering that puny

still care more about the games than the characters (lollore). Well, at

Well if we ever get back to one on one there will be no use for LFF.
