My bracket says Sephiroth > Sonic, anyway. I just think Sonic is screwed if he can't handle an SFF'd Auron.

Sonic would have to lose to Auron again, and should that happen we won't have to worry about Sonic/Dante.

HaRRicH | Posted 11/11/2008 2:01:06 PM | message detail
He would have to nearly lose to Auron. Auron wasn't far behind Ryu with Cloud in the match last year, and Sephiroth will SFF Auron a bit less. I don't think Dante smokes Ryu, either, so...yeah, if Sonic can't beat Auron by at least 2% tomorrow then Dante could be a serious threat...

...then again, I also don't think I'd take Sephiroth > Dante at all since I think Sephiroth will bother Dante. Kirby will also bother Sonic though...you know, I don't know what exactly happens with Seph/Kirby in the poll. Still, indirectly, Sonic's is real danger if he can't put Auron away tomorrow. There are no excuses with Sandbag now, Sephiroth will hurt Auron, and Sonic frankly needs to impress since Dante has.

Sonic would have to get pretty close to Kratos for Sephiroth > Dante to happen. Barely beating Auron would work too.

We really need to bring back the 1v1 format for the sake of my damned sanity. I'm starting to have trouble envisioning people voting for Sonic against the likes of Ryu.

Oh...and if Sonic/Dante end up duking it out next round, I expect Kirby to steal second place.

That shouldn't be happening though under pretty much any circumstances.

I don't think Dante smokes Ryu, either,

What do you consider "smokes?" I'd probably account bet Dante > Ryu 55/45. then again I have no account's worth betting, but the point stands!

Oh...and if Sonic/Dante end up duking it out next round, I expect Kirby to steal second place.

Whoa, can't see that happening. Dante > Sonic is more likely than Kirby > Sonic, I think. Not that I'd be opposed to Kirby getting second somehow. I just don't think he's strong.

And I just realized that this will be the first time Kirby will EVER face a Noble Niner. We're looking at history here! Seriously though, how does someone as strong as Kirby go this long without ever facing one? I don't know if there's anyone else who's been in every contest that this applies to. Let me check...

Nope. Gordon faced Sonic last year, so he's the only other one who's even close to having such a streak.
