I don't care if it's the result of antivotes.

This says damn good things about Pikachu.

This says Pikachu does well when he's not the one being anti-voted for once.
__hiei__ | Posted 11/8/2008 5:37:39 AM | message detail
well,both Pikachu and Block have a lot more votes than normal

Crono's Votals here are only around 500 lower than Samus's at this time during the last match...in a "normal" match he would easily be at least above 33%,probably above 34%.

Man I can't believe how quickly I turned on L-Block. Last year I was all for him knocking off Link, this year I couldn't wait for him to lose. Still a great contest entity when you think about it.

L-Block is the most over character ever to grace these contests, both as a face and a heel.

So... a list of notable characters Pikachu has defeated:

2K7:

Tidus
Vivi
Leon
Dante

2K8:

Alucard
L-Block


Pikachu is making up for all the years he's missed. I wouldn't consider Alucard that notable anymore.

Alucard is a solid midcarder...maybe even upper midcarder level.
charmander6000 | Posted 11/8/2008 5:59:57 AM | message detail
Midcarder, yes, but he's nowhere near upper. He's had a drop in strength since 2005.

As I've said before, RBY Pokemon are the only ones worth trying. It's inarguably the most played generation in the entire series, people have feelings of nostalgia for it, and the Pokemon created for that generation would boost from later generations regardless.

Lucario didn't bomb because he was a Pokemon, he bombed because he was a new Pokemon.

And once again, the evidence is everywhere.

Pikachu's path in 4-way contests:
1st round - doing decent
2nd round - underperforming
3rd round - overperforming
4th round - getting last due to heavy SFF

I'll remember that for the next contest!

If Pikachu can keep this abnormal strength for his next match Samus/Crono/Vincent/Pikachu will be insane.

which means he will hold well to samus on the next match, but not well enough to avoid the last place, and instead dragging samus to third place, is that what you're trying to say? if that's so, best case scenario!

Let's just say Samus won't have an easy time beating Vincent and Crono and with L-Block not being there I'm really looking forward to that match.

Samus has proven she can SFF someone substantial this year though; she should be fine taking first -- don't think Pikachu is stronger than Ganon in resisting SFF (hey Ganon beat Luigi last year who SFF'd Pikachu pretty badly after all!)

I'm kinda disappointed here. I wanted to see L-Block go down spectacularly, not to Pikachu. this is just weird as hell.

Samus/Crono/Vincent/Pikachu might be the most jacked up match ever. and the idea of Pikachu destroying Ryu is just beyond me.

Pikachu may be doing terrific,but Crono looks much better than last year for some reason.
CTDS to boost him up?
look at what IVDS did for Rydia and Kain in the end.

Something that puzzles me: L-Block has dropped off from last round a lot more than Crono. If Pikachu and Alucard are stronger than Ryu and Ammy, you would think that Crono would be hurt more than L- but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

L-Block needs 8.7 votes per update to win.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/8/2008 7:07:24 AM | message detail
So essentially, Pikachu = Zero > Ryu

I think this result all but confirms that Amatesaeru is Kryptonite to Capcom characters. Look what she did to Leon/Dante last year, and what she did to Ryu this year.

Pikachu currently has 61.17% on Alucard. Last round, Pikachu and Falcon combined for 62.86% on Alucard. Pikachu is still going up, and may end up quite close to that number.....wow.

But Ryu lost to L-Block in round 1.....nothing strange about him losing to Block again in round 2.

Actually in the bop the brackets that had L-Block advancing past Ryu most of them either had L-Block going to the finals or losing to Pikachu.

It's been over since 2 AM. Crono is slowing his percentage losses now, and there's only a couple hours left in this morning vote before we start to move back toward more favorable time period for him. Hopefully he can end this match above 31%. L-Block appears to be losing almost as much percentage as Pikachu is gaining.

We're a little under 6000 votes ahead of last saturday's match (Kirby/MC/Big Boss/Raiden) in votals currently. That match ended at 135k, so we should be good for at least 145k today.
