due to LFF. You said this match is a no brainer cuz of the LFF... so why do you think Dante/Leon will be any different? Or do you go by a match by match basis and decide which LFF works out best for you?

Given how well Dante and Leon both did, there didn't look like there was a whole lot of LFF there. It may be more apparent with some real competition like Kirby/Chief, but Dante's not a bad call there. It'll be Kirby and somebody else - could be any of 'em.

I've been questioning Dante/Leon LFF being all that huge for a while. I can't be the only one.

Yeah Dante has a shot. But I think Kirby/MC (in either order) are the likely favorites. I just can't get that Pikachu match with Dante/LEon out of my head from last year.

I'd probably count Leon out of the match tomorrow. I can't see him reversing what Dante did last round. In all likelihood tomorrow is Kirby > Chief/Dante. Depends on how well Dante can deal with Leon.

I'm thinking it's Kirby and Chief tomorrow, in that order. There doesn't have to be all that much LFFing for Dante to get beat out by them. I figure it'll be close, but Leon should be able to drag Dante down enough.

Don't forget I'm gonna do all day rallying for Chief when deciding your pick, too. If yesterdays match was any indication, its a factor!

After Pikachu and Mewtwo today, and Dante / Leon in round 2, I think most people are gonna explain Pika > Dante on a Pikachu overpreformance instead of Dante / Leon LFF. We might be able to see something like last year's match though, since we've essentially replaced Pikachu with Kirby.

Master Moltar | Posted 11/9/2008 9:57:15 PM | message detail
I'm thinking Kirby > whoever. I actually think Dante has the best shot at second, but in order for that, he's going to need to actually hurt Leon a bit somehow this time around. Chief's got his own fanbase too.

Should be a good one.
---
hmm
well then
ZFS | Posted 11/9/2008 9:57:43 PM | message detail
Think I like Kirby > Dante there, though Leon is making me think about it. Kirby should be an easy first, so it just depends on what happens with Dante/Leon.

Definitely Thunder Armor by far. Season 1 of Yugioh had all sorts of weird crap. Pikachu hax of that magnitude is something special.

The thunder armor is absurd enough on its own as a concept, but it working on a Swellow without like... killing it, just pushes it over the top.

Dante > Kirby easily

I've had Dante taking that division since day one, and his dominating performances so far have done little to shake my faith. And with how Riku looked last round, it's clear that Dante/Leon overlap isn't the explanation for last year.

greatone10 | Posted 11/9/2008 10:06:06 PM | message detail
I wonder how much of Leon's fanbase is Nintendo. With RE4 first appearing on the Gamecube and the Wii version being the best version, I'd buy into Pikachu/Leon overlap in addition to Dante/Leon overlap in addition to the really awful "sprite" pictures being the causes for that match last year. If that's the case, Leon will only be somewhat better due to Kirby's presence.

transience | Posted 11/9/2008 10:06:53 PM | message detail
there's a lot to consider tomorrow. ultimately I think Kirby and Chief are the two most unique, though I'd say Dante is the strongest. it's a nice three-way match, and I don't think Leon will do too badly either if Jill is any indication.

Maybe Leon SFFed Pikachu in Round 2 and then Pikachu SFFed Leon in Round 3!

Yeah, that only marginally makes sense.

If Dante/Leon LFF isn't significant, then Pikachu beating L-Block and coming close to Crono is consistent with his performance in round 3 of last year. I have no idea what happened in round 2 last year though, other than RPG LFF with New Square....if that's the case, Vincent is doomed.

I think and Dante are going to look more like the LFFed Leon and Dante of R3 last year next round. Kirby and Master Chief being a more diversified fanbase more like Pikachu and Ammy should make them fall a good deal. But who knows, really. Only thing I'd be shocked to see is Leon placing in any fashion.
