If Magus has dropped this much, it would be common sense for the entire trio to drop, no? --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

That didn't stop Yoshi from falling off a cliff but not Mario/Luigi How do we know Luigi didn't? That would definitely explain Liquid's performance. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

I
doubt he did. He performed respectably against Mario, who in turn
performed respectably against Link considering his hilariously terrible
circumstances. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

This
doesn't really mean much for Frog, he's losing anyways, but everyone's
going to be calling for Crono's head when he enters the ring with the
green dino. Man might be a miserable pile of secrets, but Magus is a miserable pile of pathetic losses in winnable matches. It's not like he's been given unfair paths or overwhelming opponents. --- Signature |

Well
it's hard to rate a character on how they perform against the same
fanbase. I just don't see why Luigi wouldn't have just done what Yoshi
did if places were switched. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

What
if a "hardcore" fanbase really did help Crono in 4-ways and in
actuality he's continued to fall off a cliff since 2006 without us
knowing!! --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/16/2010 10:35:25 AM | message detail |
All
evidence points to Crono obviously falling from years ago, but it's not
enough to keep him from getting the job done. His most legit match last
year was probably the quarterfinal against Samus and Vincent, and he
proved he was Vincent's equal two years running. Should be enough,
especially after what Squall did. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Crono isn't losing to Yoshi. Yoshi's not a powerhouse, and definitely not on Vincent's level. |

Matches
are half days now, we don't really know how that impacts our totals. A
lot of people probably don't even know they've already missed a match.
For all we know, characters that rely on a devoted fanbase may do
better than ones that rake in the casual votes due to planning ahead.
If that's true, there could be a lot of matches off of expectations. Also, whether or not they are in a time period that's good for them may be important. What if Castlevania is simply that much better in the day compared to CT? Magus may close the gap a lot by the end of the day. We still have to wait and see. --- "Principally I hate and detest the animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas and so forth" - Jonathan Swift |

Crono
is pretty safe against Yoshi. Like others have said, Yoshi hasn't
looked too good in previous contests, and Crono is already comfortably
ahead of him. If Luigi took Crono's spot, then I'd be worried. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

I don't personally think Yoshi has a chance, but I fully expect that upset to get more popular with this Magus bomb. I'm sure you can make come up with some silly stats-based argument for it. Yoshi beat Dante, right Dante got like 45% on Vincent, I think. Vincent beat Crono. --- Signature |

Even if Magus had the first 12 hours he'd probably only be up a % at the most. 12 hours or not he's sucked big time. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Is there anything Alucard can do against Link to make Magus look like less of a failure? What if he busts 30% out of nowhere? --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/16/2010 11:20:26 AM | message detail |
Well,
yeah, there's a lot Alucard can do against Link to make Magus look
okay. That's the nature of these contests, we all remember the later
rounds and base everything off of them. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/16/2010 11:24:40 AM | message detail |
I'd
chalk a good Alucard performance up to Link anti-votes, too. Alucard
only managed 35% against Auron in 2006 and has had almost no reason to
increase since (SotN did hit the Xbox and PSN arcades, but something
like that would only slow his aged decline). Man, Auron could probably
easily put up 70+ on Magus these days. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

wasn't a bad performance by Link just because the Oracle had everyone

WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 1/16/2010 11:30:38 AM | message detail |
At
this point Crono could do worse against Sephiroth than Tifa and it
won't stun me. Forget losing to Sandbag, this performance is way way
more embarassing for Magus. At least his match with Sandbag had some
silver lining. The only way to string this into a positive for Magus is
that he's almost as strong as 2k5 Kratos assuming Alucard hasn't
dropped since 2k5. ...anyone who thinks Alucard hasn't dropped off since 2k5 is probably insane. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Magus could end up behind Thrall in the stats when all is said and done. Let's see.. assuming this match stops at 42/43%, Alucard would have to get around 24/25% on Link which is what I think most of us expect under normal conditions anyway. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

But
there's probably only 1 character Magus could win the ASV against under
normal circumstances (i.e. not L-Block in the 2007 finals), and that is
Kefka. Man, Magus vs. Kefka in the ASV......even better than
Magus/Kefka normally. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Yesterday
wasn't a bad performance by Link just because the Oracle had everyone
going mid 80s. Thrall is probably the second strongest Warcraft
character behind Arthas. That's exactly why it's bad. Arthas isn't that strong himself and Thrall is even weaker. This is just a small sign for now. If Link looks fine next round, his match will be written off as Thrall being stronger than expected. If Link underperforms again... it probably doesn't mean much anyways since there aren't any characters slightly weaker than him that could captilize on Link's weakness. I guess it might be a problem if Cloud puts up some overperformances. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #185 What's more likely? - Terra wins - Revan breaks 60% Revan breaking 60%, on account of having the word 'Darth' in his name. Also, why was this match really being debated? I don't mean that as an insult, but Magus bombed two years in a row, once to a bag of sand. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great.
