Hey, I'm back in the Top 50. Too bad I've got Cloud > Squall today.... oh and L-Block in the final 4. Still, always fun to get back onto the leaderboard one last time this year.

I'm not being a douche, I'm just getting my deserved shots in. And I got called an idiot when I said it was an easy call.

Same thing with Sora getting last, I got called dumb on that.

Were you not a LITTLE smug when you got the Zidane match right? I get to be a little smug here because I called it right on all cylinders.

Man, Mewtwo's really rocking this right now. Keeps going up just a little more each update. Impressive stuff.

So for people who don't think there is anything fishy going on at all here...

Why did Mewtwo struggle with Midna last round?

It's not just your rallying, it's the fact that the match was close. Lots of people were watching. The first example I can think of is FFVII/OOT. It was right after CT/LTTP, and started out with massive votals (even though it had been clear CT was going to win for a couple hours already), and ended lower than CT/LTTP.

Because it was dumb. Sora isn't getting last here.


Were you not a LITTLE smug when you got the Zidane match right? I get to be a little smug here because I called it right on all cylinders.

Opposite, actually. I celebrated that day, but I admitted that the pick was out of fanboyism and that I didn't deserve that much credit for getting it right.

There we go! Cloud with his first >40% update.

Squall took everything he lost back too.

I wonder... does this result also make Cloud's 1st round pack look good to? Are Edgeworth and Axel Steel gonna be extrapolated from Cloud, or from Midna? >_<

Two of my finalists are already dead. Stop being smug you jerks I can't join you in smugness.

But seriously, this is why we MUST, by the powers of whatever the hell exists across the universe, get Auron over Sonic in two days. If Mewtwo can do this against three Square characters, imagine Snake in the same scenario.

As much as I want to join you, yo, consider the match - Sephiroth/Kratos/Auron/Sonic.

It might as well be this match in terms of which character stands out like a sore thumb.

I didn't think Mewtwo would do this well even though there is triple SquareFF happening here.

What the hell almost made Mewtwo lose to Midna back in round 2?!

Lopen | Posted 11/9/2008 9:27:48 PM | message detail
This is just a case of over saturation of Square. Square can't hit much over 70% unless the opponent is just that weak, I guess. Same reason Mario was apparently hurt slightly more by Mudkip and Zelda than Luigi. Doubt Zelda or kip alone could come close to the same damage.

And the votals went down to about what you'd expect for a 12:30 update. Obviously he was being stuffed early on.

Mewtwo taking second is hardly shocking, but this 28% stuff sure is. I mean, weren't people calling Magus a Noble 9 breaker back when he got ~35% on Link? Now Mewtwo's getting ~30% on Cloud and Squall AND Sora - who is at least as cartoony - and the general consensus is "meh"?

It boggles the mind!
