It
seems that the bracket has traditionally been released around 3 or 4 pm
PT, which makes sense considering that it would be one of the things
that SB does last at work. I'm expecting it to happen around the same
time today. --- I used to have a good sig. Now my account is only a shadow of its former glory. |

Earlier
today I was figuring the bracket would come out tomorrow. SB's rarely
VERY quick about the contests and given that we're getting a new format
he may want an extra day or two to sleep on it. Still though, it's
bound to be pretty soon given that nominations closed last week, he's
had the new format-idea for awhile, and we had almost a week of the
vote-in polls. Assuming he was being efficient and planned the rest of
the bracket possible while we did our vote-ins (not guaranteed), that
would leave only a little bit of work left that was probably finished
today. Sleeping on it before releasing the bracket might be wise. It better be soon though, considering SB's already ****ed up the whole "annual" aspect of the Character Battle. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Man, I refuse to believe Yuffie and Gilgamesh didn't get enough nominations to make the opening phase. Maybe they just circumvented the whole thing...! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I like that line of thinking. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

So, for what it's worth. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3501 The BGE2 bracket is wiped clean, which I assume means Bacon's working on this one. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

From: charmander6000 | #161 because I assume he's always close and if he's not even in the polls then I think he's probably in like i have tough time believing that someone like Maxwell or Alex Mercer got more noms --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

Alex Mercer getting more nominations than Gilgamesh wouldn't be the least bit surprising. --- the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step |

I
don't see Gilgamesh getting that kind of support he would have to go
from missing the bracket to being around the middle with nothing. I always see him as getting more board support than anything. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

KleenexTissue50 | Posted 12/14/2009 1:56:46 PM | message detail |
I think Gilgamesh got screwed the past two years because of an unspoken cap on Final Fantasy Characters, which makes sense. This year, I didn't really bother rallying for him because I was under the assumption the same cap would be enforced, but it looks like it might not have been. Oh well. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

FFXIII is one of the most hyped games right now. Guys like Pit made it to the contest before the release of Brawl. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

Why wouldn't you count Ramza? >_> |

From: charmander6000 | #175 yeah, Pit sure as hell didnt make it based on a 20+ year old nes game that wasn't even a big hit --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

From: ffmasterjose | #176 FFT is regarded as a spinoff series, or at least it can be. That was why it was able to get into the first Games Contest despite being in the same division as FFVII. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Ramza couldnt have been more humilated last year. then agian he did lose to what was probably the 1st **** block to many millions of people. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep.

It's not like Laharl fans expect him to do anything. They're just like he's in the contest. Ramza fans, on the other hand... --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

better not return then. He took a break after Knuckles embarrassed him,
and now it's time for him to take a time-out again thanks to Sandbag...! --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

I'm
pretty sure he's there, I see Frog missing it before Magus. Also he
missed out in 2006 because of the female bracket (so did Knuckles) --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |
