While Pikachu was able to look really good yesterday Mewtwo is getting
demolished early on. I know these are stronger opponents, but still. Snake is looking really good for next round. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 311/448 Today's Match: Cloud > Solid Snake |

Anyways, was anything of note said in the last 4 topics, because I
have a feeling it is all either "Bawww, a character I don't like is
stuffing so I shall whine" or "Crono spike n_n"? Not sure about the rest of the day, but the last hour was more like "Wheee, a character I like is stuffing so I don't care! n_n" |

Snake stalling Cloud now? Hmm.....maybe Crono/Vincent really did help
Cloud. Also, it's good to see WCC getting eliminated here. Don't have
to worry about it pulling a miracle run like L-Block anymore. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

As someone who had Zack in the semifinals,
let me give this opinion - Zack is a midcarder. A midcarder with
exceptionally lucky bracket placement and a surprisingly resilient one,
but a midcarder nonetheless. Crono should prove this next round. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Crono should prove this next round. mario gets most of x's votes, samus doesn't hold up as well as x did and is in the low-teens so mario takes more of the vote, and link hurts crono with sword sff letting mario win by 100 votes it shall be so --- "You don't have to worry about me." |

Link gets most of X's votes. Crono beats the piss out of Mario and
Samus. Crono won't hold Cloud back at all, and we'll see Link >
Cloud by a very comfortable margin in the finals. wonder if Crono hurts Cloud to any significant degree. he probably hurts him more than Vincent since Vincent would just get crushed by Cloud - Crono can steal some votes away from him. That makes no sense. Cloud/Crono SFF is minimal, like every other case of Old/New Square SFF. Cloud will win today by at least 5%, more than enough to put Snake away in the finals. Vincent would actually be hurting him more since the small chunk he's taking, he's taking directly from Cloud. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Finally, a joke character pulls off what he's supposed to Pfft. If Cube was a real joke character, it would've gained momentum by now. You know, like L-Block! ... Shut up! |

Cloud's at 52.7% on Snake right now, so he'll end with.....56-7%? That
should be stronger than Samus, and strong enough to give Cloud a
challenge next round, although I have a feeling Cloud will do something
like double Sephiroth to rescue himself. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: Link vs. Crono vs. Mario vs. Samus |

I would think Vincent would have had a better chance at beating Mario.
He has less overlap with Link than Crono would, and thus could get a
higher percentage in the match. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

And to give you all an idea of what real stuffing looks like, here are
the total votes per hour of the last 3 hours of Mario/Crono 2: 21:00-22:00: 4551 22:00-23:00: 4730 23:00-24:00: 5629 Normally votals decline as we go deeper into the night, so we're looking at 2-3000 extra votes there. That is vote stuffing. This 200 vote stuff probably is not. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: Link vs. Crono vs. Mario vs. Samus |

We still on that topic? I'm not going to weigh in again on whether Crono was stuffed, because I promised elsewhere I wouldn't. But I will say that, in the face of some fairly suspect results, some of you guys were celebrating just a wee bit too much. Contest Fanboys and Discussion ahoy! ...and with that, I am probably done with this contest. Vinnie/Crono is ovah, the last joke character's on its way out, the Noble Nine's looking good for a semifinals sweep, and pretty much anything of interest is gone. So...yeah. tl;dr: See you tomorrow! |

I remember what a stomach punch 2003 was, and I'm not going to say Crono didn't deserve one just because most of us went the other way. --- TurnTurnTurn your brain in. ~*ST*~ Now Playing: Mother 3, Castlevania: OoE, MGS2 |

Yes, and that Match of the Contest delivered.
Maybe we'll see another good match next round with Cloud and Snake, but
even if not, yesterday is enough reason for me to rank this contest
