As you would hope by now, the perfects went perfect for the first time. The -1s to -7s were all above 90% as well. We still lost 2 0 brackets somehow.

No one fell off the Top 50 today.

Edgeworth actually gained ground from the 1 minute mark to the freeze, which usually doesn't indicate a collapse later. Next update will be big as far as that goes.


see? 75% easily

I dunno, I do think that Phoenix is probably a good deal stronger than Edgeworth. And Jecht isn't Solid Snake.

Jecht is the anti-Tidus, which means he'll succeed when people expect him to bomb.

If edgeworth doesn't collapse to the point of a quadrupling, then it'll be a moral victory, man, I'd hate to see what solid snake could here.
oh i got a good one.

Big Boss with Naked/Peace walker Snake pic vs Solid snake with an old snake pic?
does BB break 45%?

Big Boss vs. Solid **** is a great match idea actually.

That might be a cool SFF match, unlike the failtactular of wastefulness that is the Jenova division.

I'm really wondering though, Had snake been in this match, would we be looking at 85+? or much closer to what the big boss is doing, because whenever he gets those pics Big Boss feels that much stronger. If link and Mario flirted with 80, I don't see Snake doing so much better against edgeworth and BB is heading in that direction.
I'd like to see that as a round 1 match one day.

Surprising good show here from BB, given that Mario couldn't get much over 80 against some SFFable fodder. Still though, Miles is doing well enough to prevent me renaming him "Edgeworthless".

Should've just sent the three near-elites to have match-ups with the three bottom NN members.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mega Man vs Squall, Crono vs Auron, and Sonic vs Vincent, or hell, any match really. They're all pretty interchangeable, but at least this gives us matches we haven't seen yet! Though I guess at least Sonic/Ganondorf and Sonic/Kirby are actually debatable, as is Squall/Auron! Not much debate for Sonic/whoever, and Crono/Vincent or Squall might as well be a coin toss. Still, we'd be better off at least seeing Mega Man/Vincent do battle and see if Mega Man has the strength to withstand Vincent. Much better than Mega Man/Master Chief or whoever and wasting Vincent to Sephiroth!

The FFVII characters have the problem of getting horrible seeding due to low numbers of nominations. I wish Bacon would just put the entire Noble Nine, if it is still standing, into the contest next year without having to be nommed. Then all those FFVII fans who are now nominating Cloud and Sephiroth might give more support to Vincent, Tifa, etc.

I hate both the matches that the AA characters drew. I love Edgey, but I love Big Boss more. I love Jecht, but I love Wrighto more. I'll be voting Wright, but I have Jecht. Either one winning is good with me!

I have to agree. That's just a weak fourpack there. Also, Riku should be able to defeat Ramza easily, right? We saw Ramza nearly lose to LAHARL in the last character contest, for crying out loud!

It should be easy pickings for Jecht if he's not too far behind Tidus/Rikku. He's definitely the most popular villain from his game, so let's hope that's the case.
