hrm.. likin' Dante, but he's going to need a BIG lead to hold off Chief in the day. I feel like this was a bracket vote though and Dante's going to bury him.

Fun Fact: Upon looking at the poll just now, I thought Chief was still winning despite the numbers not being in his favor because up until this point they had been in order of their percentages.

Kirby will drop all day. probably ends at around 31 or 32..?

it's tough to say, but this is another Mewtwo situation - not as extreme because there's no Cloud, but it's still a board fave vs. three guys who really aren't known for that kind of thing.

Kirby making a killing on the board vote. Good show.

Dante leading Chief - I'm liking him for second depending on how these next few updates go.

God knows what's happening to Kirby.

Honestly this match WOULD be interesting if I didn't have this strange feeling that someone would be rallying for Chief.

Hmm....

Which is pretty much what it was last round too. Except one badass was replaced with Raiden, arguably not badass but shares a series with another one in the poll so I would think that would have cancelled it out >_>

Nah, Kirby going up makes no sense to me.

1. Dante and Leon have way less overlap than Big Boss and Raiden
2. Leon is much stronger than Raiden. ... or is he?

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/10/2008 9:07:37 PM | message detail
Chief wins. Unless Dante can create an unsurmountable lead overnight, its over. And the fact that Chief is even with him during the board vote is even more damning.

Woah, that Mewtwo prediction percentage is good enough for 5th all time. Behind the last four L-Block matches of last year, naturally.

I meant Chief beats Dante.

He still has a shot at Kirby if Kirby drops off enough, but I'm calling this Kirby > Chief after 10 minutes.

Also, I WOULD have had Mewtwo advancing if I didn't think that Squall nearly topping Sonic with Sora in the poll meant something.

Then Auron sent me a wake-up call.

Well, Squall's at least proven he's far better than we'd like to pretend, and Squall/Sora seem to over lap far less than Yoshi/Fox.

I'd prefer Dante to win despite having Chief in the bracket since then we'd get another Kirby / Dante match without Leon in the mix.

Kirby falls off 2.4% (!!!) with the second update, and extends his lead on MC by 73 to 262. Call me crazy, but I don't think this one is quite over yet.

Good update for Chief - he'll take this easy if Dante can't do anything here. Kirby falling off is pretty expected after that board vote. He won't lose first, though.
