| Any chance we can get a Link vs. ? Block match after this? Need to see how our only undefeated contest entrant holds up. |

I would enjoy Sephiorth/three ToS characters at once for a first round
match-up, for the record. Otherwise...don't care to see ToS-repping
again. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Shadow was the favorite to take second place in a division considered Link+fodder, yet he lost cleanly in the first round. Not in the Guru: http://www.thengamer.com/guru/stats.php?match=49 I don't believe Shadow was the favorite in the BOP either. --- To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise.

| But seriously, if the main character of Tales of
Vesperia gets in (360 one) I'm going to strangle the Tales fanbase. I
do *not* need to see the best RPG character in years be quadrupled by
Leon or something. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Oh, he's a flop, yes, but we've seen Zero hold up to Mega Man before
and most of us were expecting it to happen anyway once Zero advanced.
Again, Steam rallied too. I know Pika upset L-Block, but L-Block is
only an honorable mention. I don't think Mega Man LFF'd and rallied
hard again is much worse than that (and #10 isn't much worse, I know).
I still think losing easily to Zidane in R1 when the division could
have been his and the near-entirety of the division was fodder is worse. ...whoa, when did Shadow become not the favorite? Sorry about that. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Pretty sure the only reason Shadow wasn't the favorite is that people
expected Link to affect him more than Zack. Not a lot, but enough for
the FF7 hivemind to sneak by. Oh, Shadow. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Well it's what I thought, anyway. But I was an advocate of Link affecting Shadow from Day 1, so... Still, Wario>Zack was the R1 favorite, right? I doubt most of them were thinking Wario>Shadow.

It's serious. Cloud's being hurt by Crono and I'm sure a significant
portion of his fanbase has jumped ship to Snake. Link's probably around
53% or so on Cloud 1v1 this year. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

man, Snake has some serious joke trends. I can't get over this. I like how Cloud couldn't cut him yesterday but is doing good damage today despite the lead being much larger. that bandwagon/rallied vote early must have been crazy. this contest is all sorts of stupid. hmm, how are the vote totals, and how were they six hours into the match? --- xyzzy http://isobamapresident.com/ |

Yeah, if people had rallied around Cloud as much as they rallied around
Snake today, we might have seen Cloud > Link. Most of them were
voting against both Link and Cloud though, I guess. Alright Snake,
you've managed to lose the ASV to Crono, so I can give you a begruding
congratulations for this shocking display of strength. We had an
absolutely terrific final week to this contest. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, and congratulations to your 5 time contest champion, Link! |

Is it just me, or did the contest get like 1000000 times better after death of L-Block Before it was all like "kill me now", but since then, this contest has been "okay i can tolerate this" and even a little "oh man i think i'm enjoying this" darn you tetris piece --- Moltar Status: so much love save us games contest |

Thank you Pikachu. On the subject of the Snake/Pikachu/MM/Zero match, I
find it hard not to take Pikachu there. Pikachu did almost as well on
Samus as MM did last year, and he beat L-Block while MM lost to Cube. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, and congratulations to your 5 time contest champion, Link! |

managed to hang on to second. --- http://i33.tinypic.com/2s0xn3o.gif |

Augh Snake why. And man I think Captain Falcon deserves a spot on the contest stars list. I mean really even with a Diddy flop Kratos Aurion was statistically favored... yet Falcon hammers BOTH by 10%. Replace Link with him.

paraboxx Posted 11/19/2008 12:52:03 AM Kirby was doing the same thing to Cloud yesterday, for almost as long. Kirby wound up losing by over 10,000 votes. Gaddswell Posted 11/19/2008 12:52:35 AM At this time, Kirby was already behind Cloud! MyWorldIsCrono Posted 11/19/2008 12:52:57 AM Kirby is a different case. He doesn't have the strength of Snake (i'm omitting n00b avenger's, since he clearly missed the point to begin with) ExThaNemesis Posted 11/19/2008 12:53:33 AM Comparing Snake to Kirby is non-sense.

down, they should have rallied around Cloud. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, and congratulations to your 5 time contest champion, Link! |
