If Vincent had advanced instead of Crono,what would the results be? Link > Vincent. Unless you mean the finals, whick would likely be Link > Snake. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4!

| Hmm. Either way, some people are flirting with the
idea of Kirby making the finals. Though I seriously doubt that'll
happen. It sounds like a leap of faith. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

Has anyone seriously considered the possibility of CT:DS hype being
a boost to Crono? I mean, Nintendo Power did a big article on the
thing, and you know how the kiddies love that magazine! No. This isn't a major release. The biggest benefit from CT:DS will come from exposing a new generation to the game, and the DS is the perfect way to do it. I can see the DS port outselling the SNES and PS1 versions combined. At the very least, it opens him up to the European market, which should do wonders for his horrerndous morning vote. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

I can see Crono surviving for a few more years at Noble Nine level

Any chance for Cloud>Kirby tomorrow? I'm guessing something like: Cloud 32% Kirby 25% Snake 23% Sephiroth 20% --- Celtics>Lakers |

So I've finally figured out Snake's Path to Victory
even with Kirby in the match... and that it will be, of course, that
Sephiroth will "feel like" making it happen! Thus my revised prediction: Snake 30% Sephiroth 28% Cloud 27% Kirby 15% And I've never been wrong before now if you'll excuse me I have some Metroid Fusion bosses to defeat --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

No, Kirby only got 23% last round; he isn't getting higher than that
against a much stronger pack, and he's probably going to end up a long
way below that. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: Link vs. Crono vs. Mario vs. Samus |

I've had that on my mind all day - with no Raiden in the match, Big Boss - NOT Naked Snake - beats Kirby (and thus Sonic). this Sonic match just doesn't make sense. --- xyzzy |

The most fortuitous thing that could happen is that the Kirby >
Sonic result was an utter utter fluke, and Snake just pounds the
puffball into the ground giving him the margin he needs. Y'know, as long as Sephiroth says it's alright and all. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

No one's going to overrate Kirby to any ridiculous degree unless he
repeats that magic in a few hours. I mean, sure, you might have a few
people taking him over the Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi trio (and really, who's
to say they're necessarily wrong?), but considering him over the FF
near-elites won't really be happening. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

according to that match, he's within striking range of Auron - even
moreso if you think the Bag hurts Sonic. that means Big Boss has
reversed a 70/30 result to a likely victory. yay! --- xyzzy |
| Fayt_Esteed | Posted 11/17/2008 7:22:04 PM | message detail |

I'm thinking that either this is a massive fluke or Sonic's
non-hardcore fanbase completely abandoned him. I'm sure that casual
voters instead voted for Sephiroth (or Dante) and the Nintendo voters -
the other big portion of Sonic's fanbase - threw their votes to Kirby
instead, leaving Sonic to fall back on his (rather small) hardcore
fanbase. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

The best Kirby can hope for tomorrow is 20% is enough to beat a
severely crippled Sephiroth. It all depends on how much Snake and Cloud
feel like dominating Oedipus. I think it will go more like 30-28-22-20,

I think people underestimate the fact that there are three fairly
serious characters and one cute pink ball. You can't count Kirby out of
this. --- Celtics>Lakers |

There is point where even cute pink balls are way out of their league
(and I'd consider Sonic as such here, too). Kirby > Seph would be
absurdly awesome but I'm not expecting even that. --- Mustache...and green... |

Also, Kirby beat Sonic....by 2%. I'm not convinced he has much of a
chance here. Then again, Sonic would be out of his league here, as well. --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

I think the best Kirby can hope for is to sneak by Sephiroth for
second, though I'd doubt even that. He may stand out, but it isn't
gonna help against the second, third, and likely fourth strongest
characters in this thing. --- http://i33.tinypic.com/2s0xn3o.gif |

Eh, I'm still pretty wary of a Kirby overperformance, despite my
bluster (people people Snake is invincible). Sore Thumb Factor is
definitely real, and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see it
come into play here - this would've been my stance even if there had
been no Sonic defeat in the mix. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

It's going to take more than just standing out to do enough to advance
out of this group. If we're talking about overperforming to the extent
that he is safely ahead of Sephiroth, that's no big deal. If it's
enough to stop Snake from advancing...well... --- http://i33.tinypic.com/2s0xn3o.gif |

Match LXII: Cloud Strife vs. Solid Snake vs. Sephiroth vs. Kirby Last Round: Cloud Strife – 38.41% Solid Snake – 29.14% Weighted Companion Cube – 19.18% Mewtwo – 13.27% Well the final joke character was eliminated and that pretty much is the highlight of the match. Snake was able to get close enough to Cloud to have a chance at placing first in tomorrow’s match. Really that match might as well have been considered a break because none of the characters were close to one another. Sephiroth – 38.50% Kirby – 23.10% Sonic the Hedgehog – 21.50% Dante – 16.90% What happened here? While Sonic losing wasn’t as much of a surprise after his round 2 performance, but losing to Kirby was. I guess Kirby was able to steal any Brawl support that could have gone Sonic’s way. Still if someone was to win I’d expect it to be Dante, who did much better after the board vote, but was never really in the match. Analysis: So here we have two FFVII guys, another NN character and a noble nine breaker. Once again SFF will be the demise of Sephiroth, but will he be able to drag Cloud to an embarrassing performance. Also Kirby is once again the odd ball can he surprise the world by advancing to the finals? The main attraction of this match is whether or not Solid Snake can turn that 57/43 defeat into a win with Sephiroth in the poll. With both characters being in the same game the overlap between them is large. However fanbase overlap is something very hard to measure and if FFVII decide to throw their support towards Cloud rather than splitting evenly Cloud could still come out on top. Cloud while the second most dominating force in this contest he still can succumb to LFF. Snake has shown that he is much stronger than what he was last year and even then he was already impressive. Not many characters would have been expected to break 43% on him and with only so many FFVII fans Cloud has to hope that the fanbase that shows up tomorrow to vote is on Cloud’s side rather than Sephiroth. Kirby has looked much better ever since his first round loss to Big Boss which begs the question, is Naked Snake worth almost as much as Solid Snake himself? While Kirby is going to be the odd ball for the third time I don’t see him beating Sephiroth let alone placing. The FFVII fans would have to heavily favour Cloud by much more than usual for Kirby to have a chance. Still it would be hilarious if Kirby was able to pull the upset of all time. Sephiroth has had an unlucky run at this contest; out of the five rounds only one of them allowed him to show his true strength. It’s not a shame that Sephiroth has to lose to Cloud again because outside of an L-Block-like rally he isn’t losing to anyone besides Link and Cloud in a normal match. It’s a weird feeling knowing that Kirby is the second to last Nintendo character to be eliminated. With such terrible board votes it will be interesting to see how long Snake and Kirby will be ahead of Cloud and Sephiroth respectively. With Snake doing so well last round against Cloud the upset is there, but I think Cloud will narrowly take this match. charmander6000’s Bracket: Cloud > Solid Snake charmander6000’s Prediction: Cloud – 31.42%, Solid Snake – 28.73%, Sephiroth – 22.52%, Kirby – 17.33% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Character Battle 2008: Points 359/512 Today's Match: Link > Mario |
