Sonic's not even going to be cutting Auron with the ASV. He might not
cut him all day, if he does it will be limited to the morning vote
though. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |

Honestly I'd put my money on Sub-Zero putting more damage on Sonic
than the Sandbag. Mortal Kombat and Sonic have a lot of parallels. Both
were released in the 16 bit generation, both have series that still
make games today but don't quite recapture the glory days (with some
being outright terrible) Yeah. And they were both designed to be cooler versions of the ground-breaking game of their genres! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Auron could still lose to Sonic 1v1, AND this match still has
nothing to do with sandbag. Sonic sucks gigantic ass in 4-ways, or
Sonic team imploded last year and they're just miserably weak compared
to their former selves. Either way, Auron winning here isn't dependent
at all upon Sandbag. I hope this will be a much more commonly held
belief once Auron wins this one in a rout. It has nothing to do with the "format". Sonic just dropped off the map after Sonic 2006 once again proved that he will never have another good game. Shame that game didn't come out BEFORE the 2006 character battle. Then we would have seen Vincent/Crono in a 1v1 setting! --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Auron's currently at 52.54% on Sonic. My guess is that it will end within a percent of that. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Sonic cut! And we've seen Crono/Vincent 1v1 already: Vincent would have made it closer in 2006, but he'd have just lost again in all likelihood. Seeing Crono/Vincent 1v1 again wasn't really necessary until 2007. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Crono/Vincent would've been a toss-up, honestly. Remember Sonic faced
them both in 2006. He beat Vincent by 5000 votes and Crono by 2000
votes. That's 3000 votes difference there. Close enough for random
variation or some other factor to make a difference. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

And what's gotten into me lately? First I root for Master Chief, and now I'm cheering for Sonic? Looking at Crono/Sonic and Crono/Auron trends, Sonic will probably be able to keep it relatively close until 3 AM or so, and Auron should do better with the late night, with Sonic recovering with the morning. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Sonic's Power Hour has never been anything special, but it's light years ahead of his night vote.
And Auron's night vote is much better than his power hour - meaning if
anything, this is about to get REALLY bad for the hedgehog. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I put Auron up there, especially in this format. Some people may not
believe the format has an effect on performance, but I think it
augments his power, even if only a little. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Auron is right after Vincent and Squall on the list of near-elites, and
has been since 2006 probably (Crono underperformed against Sonic; it's
true!), since last year definitely. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

I would've pulled the trigger on Auron > Ganondorf before this match. But that's not all Auron talking there...

But that's not all Auron talking there... I think Ganondorf is a lot weaker than he was in 2005. I believe Ganon and Bowser were both on Villains Contest highs in 2005.

Bowser fell harder based on what? Luigi smashed him worse but that's to

It has nothing to do with the "format". Sonic just dropped off the
map after Sonic 2006 once again proved that he will never have another
good game. I was going to mention this myself, and a few weeks ago posted on how the "Sonic Team weak in 4-packs" might be a myth. I said how for Chrono Trigger characters last year we said they were declining, but for Sonic Team we said it was a format thing. And that was long before Chief's craptacular showings, which confirm that Chief's strength last year had nothing or almost nothing to do with the format. So right now it really does seem more like Sonic Team weakening because of lack of good games and exposure, than much of anything to do with the format. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

That he most certainly did. That was hands down the single worst match
in contest history, with unparalleled levels of awfulness. Sandbag
beating Magus was nothing compared to that.
I also believe (perhaps out of fanboyism, but I like to think it's not
unreasonable) that Crono did underperform in that match, and would
underperform against Sonic again relative to how he would do against
SNES and Square characters. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Bowser fell harder based on what? Based on 2006. Bowser got creamed by Crono, while Ganon at least stayed within 55/45 of Sonic based on Vincent. They seemed to be at least relatively equal in 2005. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

I'd take Auron>Ganon 1 vs. 1, and probably would've done so before this match, I think. And I do think that Sandbag sapping some Sonic support here is quite possible. Auron and Sonic are very close to each other regardless, though that may be just the help Auron needs to push him over the top. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

We didn't attribute CT falling to the format in 2k7 - we did it in 2k6, when Crono choked to Sonic.
Meanwhile Sonic looked as good as he ever had in contests that year -
he didn't go from beating Crono (and Vincent!) significantly to letting
SUB-ZERO scare him in terms of natural strength. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |
