Rally for Alucard dammit.

He could still come back during the night vote if you guys try hard enough.

Cube looks pretty good. After seeing block stumble, I no longer think Cube will look scary or anything, but both the angular objects have pretty similar scenarios if you think about it.

Eek out a win in Round 1, face a lower-tier Noble 9er in Round 2. L-Block lost to the Noble 9er, but he still beat Ryu much more comfortably than he did in the last round. I expect teh same from WCC.

After the poor lord's(note: The L in L-Block stands for Lord as in Lord of the Blocks) lost, I have less confidence that any of the other jesters of battle will advance out of this round. Even The Noble Weighted Companion Cube, I fear shall not achieve a meager 2nd place finish let alone a first place triumph.

Falcon > Ike (for reasons already stated, this could change as Brawl becomes more established)

Diablo > Marth (with the de-boost Marth just doesn't have what it takes even right now)

Arthas > DK

It goes against a number of logical reasons, but I'm never betting on DK again. Ever.

Duke Nukem > Alucard

Believe.

You're entitled to your pick, but either way I don't see how you think anything is going to change between Ike and CF. Brawl has already outsold Melee; it isn't getting much more established.

Ike > Falcon (Falcon didn't stand out until GX)
Marth > Diablo (Shadow Dragon's release should help him)
Arthas > DK (DK is unreliable, as his contest history shows)
Alucard > Duke (Alucard may boost from the upcoming CV games. Well, that, and Alucard beat Duke once already.)

I'm fairly confident with these picks, especially with Arthas > Chokey Kong.

Ike > Marth (TBH, this could go either way)
Arthas > Alucard (WotLK FTW?)

Arthas >= Ike

Isn't Alucard set to get a new Castlevania game? If not, I'd probably switch to Duke. I'd likely be willing to account bet on the other three, though. They seem safe enough.

Nice job by Alucard holding up here. Getting beat pretty easy, but he didn't drop as far as I would have figured he would.

time for a Pikachu sprite boost to be L-Block

By the way, how are we going to do X-stats for this half of the division? It's completely screwed up.

-Give Alucard...something
-Give Falcon his 1st round value based on Alucard given a little boost to account for Nintendo LFF
-Give Pikachu a value based on this match vs. Alucard only boosted some to account for Falcon LFF
-Give Ike a value based on how he did vs. Pikachu in R1 only using Pikachu's R2 value
-GIve Arthas a value based on his R2 match vs. Alucard
-Give Kratos a value based on Alucard and watch as he ends up significantly weaker than Lloyd
-Point at Diddy and laugh

...augh

They'd be about as useful as one-on-one stats are. Decent guideline of where characters have stood recently, but not much outside of that.

I have a hard time seeing the Cube losing to the likes of Tidus and Nero... c'mon if Magus can't hold off Sandbag, what chance does Tidus have against a stronger joke character?

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the Cube snub Mega Man and join Snake as the two that make it out of the division. Then again... I thought Zero would be in that group of 4, stealing enough votes from Mega Man to allow the Cube to sneak on by.
