Huzzah RallyFAQs! Seriously though, great show by Kirby and Dante. We still need a match with a Kirby sprite just to see if it helps him any. Plus, it's a great sprite anyway! Kirby's been ripped off when it comes to the sprite round! Got moved to the 4th round in 2005, done away with completely here. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Yesterday's chart: Time | Squall | Sora | Cloud | Mewtwo EBV | 16.20% | 16.60% | 36.37% | 30.82% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 17.04% | 15.39% | 40.85% | 26.72% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 18.34% | 14.01% | 44.96% | 22.68% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 17.19% | 15.52% | 44.51% | 22.78% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 17.06% | 14.27% | 46.32% | 22.36% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 14.73% | 17.69% | 44.29% | 23.28% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 15.41% | 16.00% | 46.51% | 22.08% | (22:00-24:00) Nice board vote for Mewtwo, as usual, and a bad one for Cloud (relatively), as usual. Great ASV for Sora, as usual. Mewtwo's pretty consistent the rest of the match after the Power Hour. Squall struggles in the latter half of the match. Yesterday's stats: Cloud Strife – 50.00% Mewtwo – 34.12% Squall Leonhart – 26.81% Sora – 26.03% Division 6 Stats Cloud Strife – 50.00% Squall Leonhart – 26.81% Sora – 26.03% Mewtwo – 24.02% Midna – 23.20% Yoshi – 22.75% Fox McCloud – 22.61% Pac-Man – 20.08% Chris Redfield – 19.55% Miles Edgeworth – 17.03% Ness – 14.62% CATS – 13.56% Travis Touchdown – 12.53% Axel Steel – 11.22% Tim – 7.42% Nathan Drake – 7.09% I gave Mewtwo his round 2 value on Cloud here because it's pretty obvious he was benefiting from triple Square SFF, far more so than any Nintendo LFF he may have had with Midna last round. Due to having no fixed point of reference by which to adjust Squall's half of the division, this is what you get. Looks like Squall could've still advanced had it been Yoshi/Mewtwo instead, but that's just random speculation at this point. These stats are pretty much worthless. Division 6 Raw Stats Cloud Strife – 50.00% Mewtwo – 34.12% Midna – 32.95% Pac-Man – 28.52% Squall Leonhart – 26.81% Sora – 26.03% Yoshi – 22.75% Fox McCloud – 22.61% Ness – 20.77% Chris Redfield – 19.55% Travis Touchdown – 17.80% Miles Edgeworth – 17.03% CATS – 13.56% Axel Steel – 11.22% Tim – 7.42% Nathan Drake – 7.09% The only difference here is that I gave Mewtwo the value he got straight up on Cloud in round 3, which brings a few characters up quite a bit. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Kirby?Anyway yesterday only 2,8% had Mewtwo advancing?How then he
advanced?Or because most people don't make brackets so it doesn't
matter anyway? It's 2.8% of the brackets, though I can see people making the bracket based on strength rather than expecting LFF. My younger brother owned me in this division, I may have had Pac-Man > Ness, but he had Squall > Sora and Cloud > Mewtwo. I taught him the basics, LFF and who's the favourite in each match. He also made choices like Crono > Ike in division 4 so I guess it all equals out. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 243/352 Today's Match: Master Chief > Kirby |

Speaking of shockers, Squall beating Sora wasn't, and anyone saying it
was an illogical pick doesn't understand the Square pecking order. Sora
having enough fans to pick him over the two most popular Final Fantasy
mains so that he beats Squall? I don't think so. Close, but not quite. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

I really don't think anyone has this locked up. It is still too early
to call. I have seen mixed opinions on the ASV and I honestly can say I
understand it going either way. Kids these days LOVE Halo. I think ASV
will be something like 30%, 30%, 25%, 15% for Kirby/MC/Dante/Leon
respectively. What do you call a demographic SFF- DSFF? --- ____________________________________________ ************************************** |

If anything, it'd be something like 27-27-27-19. Master Chief isn't going to start getting 30% consistently. And Dante's going to be way over 3000 votes over MC by the time the ASV comes around. He's not bad enough with the day vote to lose that one. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Leon is easily the worst of the four. If anyone suffers from the ASV,
it'll be him. Everyone else should be fine. 27% is the best case
scenario I can imagine for the Chief. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Last time we had a match on Veterans' Day was....Crono vs. Sonic
(another Crono match!). The day vote that day looked a bit diluted:
Sonic gained over 1000 votes on Crono during school hours, and didn't
throttle him during the ASV as badly as the DSV performance would have
implied, probably. Either way Dante is too far up: he has another 3
hours to gain, and he should be well over 3000 by then. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: 3 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

Like I said, the ONLY reason people picked Master Chief to beat Dante
was the format, which he was supposedly deadly in, for whatever reason
you want to think. It was a format advantage only. I'm not even sure MC
beats Yuna one-on-one, to be honest with you. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

I'd take Yuna over Chief now. Hell, I'd take anyone with some decent
pop over Chief, as it seems like a damn good upset possibility ever
year (Frog, DK, Sub-Zero... someone is just begging to join these
guys). I may have actually taken Dante in a 1v1 format this year, but
after what Chief did last year, how could such a match be so brashly
decided? He beat Dante by almost 8000, lost to Snake by only 3500, and
suddenly, a Dante/Chief match is unquestionable? Nah. --- Yoblazer: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

how could such a match be so brashly decided? Because I was entirely convinced that the Chief's power was completely in the format, that's how. I always thought the Chief was still a midcarder one-on-one, and Dante has looked good in any format.

Ugh, again, there's no such thing as a deboost. Just all of you getting your hopes up high again. I dunno if I'd call it a "deboost," but based on what we've seen, I'd wager on many Nintendo characters being at their weakest since 2005. It's not hard to see the reasoning (which has been explained numerous times) behind this. In 2007, the Nintendo base was energized. Brawl hype had Nintendo fans excited, and well-received hits sprinkled throughout the year, such as Prime 3 and Galaxy, kept the fans coming back. In 2008, Nintendo has only released two significant games (Brawl and Mario Kart Wii). One of these is completely casual-friendly, and the other one, the HYPED one, was largely seen as a disappointment among many. After Brawl was released, the hype and excitement that had gripped Nintendo fans for months vanished, and with no other games to care about, they stopped showing up. Compare that to the 360, which is riding a more powerful stream of price cuts and games, and the PS3, which finally started cooking with MGS4, and you can see why Nintendo would naturally have a smaller piece of the GameFAQs pie. --- Yoblazer: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Leon impressed last round against Dante so I thought things were
looking up for him, but now he's back to losing against him just as
badly as he did last year. Maybe even worse by the end of the day. Sucks --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
