Big improvement. Sadly, I think only the winner is advancing. The idea is perhaps to have a large play-in for a lot of the characters that were on the outside looking in, but only for a select few spots. --- :> |

Also, can we please put the notion that these polls mean anything for contest strength to rest? Who the hell picks Frog over Liquid these days? --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

It's still very very early, but I think this will come down to Frog and Rikku for first. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

I don't see any possible way that Frog loses this. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

First Frog has to lose an impregnable lead. Then he makes an impossible comeback. That's how he rolls. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

Rikku should have this in the bag. --- :> |

Frog over Liquid? Sure, but only if it's within 200 votes with an hour to go. --- Then definitely. |

Well the six characters that I thought would be on top are. Pac-Man vs. Big Daddy. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

For
what it's worth, this is the first time we've seen a CT-character in
action after CTDS. That said, red sox, don't run crazy with the idea
yet. =P I figure Rikku's gonna win this. --- Please nominate DOC LOUIS from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! T E A M C H O C O L A T E |

So as it stands now, the top 6 are... Frog Rikku Liquid Midna Big Daddy Pac Man I'm finding it really tough to believe that we'll get any less then the top 6, unless this is only 64 characters. I can't see 5 of those characters being let out of a 128 character bracket --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Nominate Vault Boy! |

red sox 777 | Posted 12/8/2009 9:11:02 PM | message detail |
I
think just looking at the wording of the poll, the most intuitive
interpretation is that only the winner gets in. I think I'd rather have
a 64 character bracket than 128 characters; there's much less in the
way of fodder that way and a higher percentage of matches feature
characters we're interested in. Of course, if Frog doesn't win this
poll, you can expect my opinion on that to change swiftly. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Liquid Snake dropping about 1% on that update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |
Cyclo_Reaper | Posted 12/8/2009 9:14:12 PM | message detail |
I think its a pretty safe bet Archer finishes last here. I think he should be putting out 2% updates during the asv --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Nominate Vault Boy! |
PiGuy96 | Posted 12/8/2009 9:14:28 PM | message detail |
Woo Frog. I don't really think he's going to win, but woo Frog nonetheless. And, yeah, these guys seem too good to be on the cusp of a 128 character bracket. So I think we're either filling positions 96-128 or so, or the winner makes a 64 character bracket. (Or we have some weird setup with 96 characters.) It'd be nice if Bacon gave us a little information... --- RPGuy netbook remix |

Pac-Man's doing rather well considering he only has apathy votes going for him. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

Still
anyone's game here, only 641 votes cast between Frog and Rikku so far,
so we're still in that area where things can change really quickly and
by a lot. --- Link he come to town to dominate all other characters and trample them down with his sword of more votes. |

man, why the hell are two Bioshock things in the same poll? Big Daddy could have a shot here without Andrew Ryan says something about Bioshock when Big Daddy triples Andrew Ryan though --- xyzzy |
charmander6000 | Posted 12/8/2009 9:18:38 PM | message detail |
Gamespot users voted Pac-Man over Dante, so there are hardcore Pac-Man fans out there. I'm willing to bet that less than half of GameSpot users know Dante. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |
