I think this concludes that Zack is actually a strong character than we all thought he would be. Cloud's screwed unless Mario or Samus make it to the finals.

That morning vote better show up for Mario soon, or else Zack will push this out to 200!

Shame ZackFAQS couldn't get a cut on Link though.

If X doesn't make a massive comeback, GO ZACK! I won't finish on the leaderboard if X loses anyways, so seeing Zack do well would be pretty cool.

Bahahahaha. Waking up to see Zack ahead of Mario is pretty much the most awesome thing ever, even knowing that it'll end pretty soon. Time to play some Crisis Core on the train...!

Good job with the night vote Zack, but not enough to win this one. Zack probably slows or stalls Mario fairly soon, and maybe he can even get the lead back with the DSV. Then Mario takes the ASV, and wins this one up a few hundred.

Losing to black haired cloud and a cube. Twice the Mega Man twice the fun! Anyone still think he'd be in the top 9 in a 1v1 format?

Master Moltar | Posted 11/13/2008 7:23:40 AM | message detail
So Zack takes the lead and loses it before I even wake up wonderful

Mario's through playing around though and is safe from here on out let's go mario
---
hmm
well then
Master Moltar | Posted 11/13/2008 7:27:56 AM | message detail
Oh, and MMX "collapsing" isn't really that surprising here. No way was he going to hold up with both Link AND Mario here. I didn't count on Zack doing so well, but I figured X was a lock to get doubled by Link.

This format sucks hard too 4 rounds of Zack and MMX and we STILL don't have a good grip on their real strength.
---
hmm
well then
Calintares | Posted 11/13/2008 7:43:03 AM | message detail
What percentage is X getting on Link here, is he doing better than when Mega Man faced Link in 2004?
---
Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.
Master Moltar | Posted 11/13/2008 7:51:26 AM | message detail
Right now, Link has 68% on X, and that's going to go higher.

In 2004, Link got 67.61% on MM.
---
hmm
well then
red sox 777 | Posted 11/13/2008 8:00:03 AM | message detail
This match's trends look a lot like Samus vs. Tifa; I'm not expecting Mario to do too much with the ASV considering he's really more of a morning guy, but he's already ahead, and it looks doubtful but not impossible that Zack can take the lead back before 3. Even if he does, it will be a tiny lead, so Mario should be safe.

1v1 is a fine format. The only person who gets screwed over anyway is Fox.

Yes, we really need to go back to 1v1s. Zack vs. Luigi, who do you take?

I think Zack could pull off 55% on Luigi.
Fayt_Esteed | Posted 11/13/2008 8:08:08 AM | message detail
I have to agree with Ulti and Moltar. 4-ways suck because it's hard to get a read on characters' strength due to SFF being more of a factor.

Eh, I figure X is being held back enough by Mario that he's very very close to MM indirectly. If they went 1 on 1 I have no idea where the fanbase would split, though.

Zack appears to be stalling Mario now, and Link is going berserk. Maybe he can go for 40% with the ASV.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/13/2008 8:15:08 AM | message detail
Zack is doing well enough for us to consider the Vincent/Crono winner a complete lock into the finals, which also snuffs out any hope for a Cloud win. I guess the only things worth following now are the Vinnie/Crono match itself and WCC's chances (however slim) of advancing yet again.

I think everyone is counting Solid mother ****ing Snake out. He can totally run a train on everyone if it ends up being Link/Crono/Snake/Cloud. Crono, Cloud, and Link will have ridiculous overlap that makes no sense and then Snake will just kill everything.

this match sucks. I want Zack to win so badly (Samus > Mario belie dat), but there's pretty much no chance of that happening at this point. No one actually thinks Zack can survive the ASV, do they?

1. Link and Zero were in the poll last year, hurting Crono.
2. Crono's looked better this year.

His only shot is Link just totally crippling Mario for whatever reason. Mario's morning vote was pretty underwhelming but it was still enough so I doubt it.

Should I start running now?
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/13/2008 8:35:28 AM | message detail
except for the part that Crono has looked tremendously better this contest

Tremendously better? We hardly have any idea as to how good he's looked because he's gone up against a spazzed out L-Block twice. He did an average job against a midcarder and fodder in Round 1, and then let Pikachu put up 46.5% on him in Round 3. Anyone claiming that Crono looks noticeably better simply because L-Block is gone isn't looking at the whole picture.

Mario really didn't do anything with the ASV last round. This match has followed Samus/Tifa trends fairly well, and Samus actually ended at a slightly lower percentage than she had at this time (fell off with the rest of the DSV, went up with the ASV, and fell with the SNV). She still won by a good deal though, so Zack needs to do substantially better than Tifa with the ASV. I think there's a decent chance Mario's lead finishes under 500 though.
