Sonic stops the bleeding a bit on that update With the help of the bracket voters. Once the rush of bracket voters wears off, which should be at least by the end of the Power Hour, Auron should at least hold the lead for a few more hours. --- Participate in my Presidential Election Prediction Challenge: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=46163188 |

Yeah, but Crono and Mega Man have had crap fourpacks in the first round twice! Sonic's not gotten that either year! Auron back to work! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Auron wouldn't beat Crono in this format or normally. And he certainly wouldn't be ahead of Crono during the power hour. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

This really isn't that impressive for
Auron so far. I can't believe more people weren't on Auron > Sonic
before this contest. Sonic's just looked absolutely putrid, while
Auron's been beasting the last couple years. Auron has a good shot at
MM if he's in Sonic's place instead, but Crono escapes with victory. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |

And Subz pulling away more! Assuming Sub-Zero doesn't have a massive lead (over 1000) over Sandbag by the ASV, Sandbag has a shot at making a comeback. The Mortal Kombat ASV isn't too great though. --- Participate in my Presidential Election Prediction Challenge: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=46163188 |

Mega Man's fourpack last year easily beats out Sonic's fourpack last year, unless you think Sub-Zero is a NN breaker. This is now all about Sub-Zero kicking the crap/CDs out of the most worthless entrant in any of these contests. I wasn't aware there was a Tales character in this match. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

The Mortal Kombat ASV isn't too great though. Can't be worse than Magus's. Mortal Kombat actually performs at relatively the same level throughout the whole match. Auron keeps pulling away! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

And as much as FFX sucks, this result makes me happy. Finally Sonic pays for putting out terrible games for the last 15 years. --- 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 |

Yep. This is looking over! Still, how much of a lead does anyone think Auron needs to build? --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

Auron's been beasting Okay, where did this come from? Where did this come from?? I swear I'd never heard that term until like last month and now it's freaking everywhere, especially on Gamefaqs. I can't even read the NFL board anymore because of that ****. |

| Most of us had Magus instead of Sandbag here. Even
for people like myself that thought Auron > Sonic was a sexy upset,
Magus was enough to scare people off. Once Sandbag passed (or, for
some, once Magus lost), even before seeing what Auron could do, it was
a lot easier to buy the upset. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Sandbag is going to completely fall to pieces over night. He really
showed no signs of life against Magus until 3 PM, and Magus has a much
stronger power hour than Sub-Zero. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

No. Auron is probably only winning because of Sandbag. 1v1, Auron probably gets 48 or 49% on Sonic. --- 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 |

From: Gaddswell | #416 1000 overnight should be good. He's not a slouch with day, and Sonic isn't a Sora or MC --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I'm sure many of us would have gone with Auron > Sonic before the
contest, except that we thought Magus would be here to ruin his
chances. Psh, I had Magus here instead of Sandbag and I still took Auron > Sonic! I didn't expect much Auron/Magus LFF. Old and New Square seem to be relatively distinct fanbases. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Can't be worse than Magus's. It's not nearly as bad as Magus's ASV, since it was easy for him to blow a 2000+ vote lead. So that's why I'll say that at best, Sandbag could come back from a 1000 vote lead. Any higher, and I doubt Sandbag makes a successful come back. --- Participate in my Presidential Election Prediction Challenge: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=46163188 |

Auron is probably only winning because of Sandbag. 1v1, Auron probably gets 48 or 49% on Sonic. 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. --- LONG LIVE GAMEZACKS |

Auron isn't bad in the day but Sonic's still better. Sonic's morning vote is MUCH better than his ASV. His ASV is better than Auron's, but not by a wide margin. Morning vote doesn't last long enough for Sonic to do tons of damage anyway.

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. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 2 - Raiden/Big Boss/Kirby. Target: 48%. Kain Stronger than Kirby & Big Boss!?!? Believe |

I never understood this "cripple his trend" argument. If you have Sora
and Master Chief in a 3-way poll with Crono, Chief and Sora are still
going to gain the same relative to Crono as they would in a 1v1
situation. --- 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 |
