I'm just glad the guru pick was someone who wasn't a shoe-in already this time around.

Okay, guru picks that weren't returners or complete jokes.


Yoshi's Island was the guru pick for the games contest, didn't it do poorly?

I'd probably pick Jigglypuff or Seifer. Can't think of anyone else more deserving to finally get in one of these.

It's like you've never seen a board vote before, Harrich.

Uh, I addressed several angles of the situation, not just "Ike is doomed," and I imagine I'm usually thought of as conservative when talking about the early board votes because I'm almost always telling people the match is still early when others are ringing the bell. Don't start.

I wouldn't give YI any credit for that. CT has done a good enough job embarrassing itself without anyone's help!

Anyone who thinks a major, well-liked FFVII character with the most famous first name in the entire series is not breaking 40% in a night match against Mega Man after what Price did to X is delusional.

I wouldn't call that person "delusional", really. I'm not sure if Cid is stronger than Aeris, and I'm not sure Aeris breaks 40% on Mega Man these days.

I'm wondering if this may just be a drop in popularity for SSBB centric characters... SSBB isn't as big now as it was last contest, so characters like Ike, Meta Knight, Falcon etc may see a drop off.

Not so hot that update

Of course no use worrying about pre-ASV updates as that's where Ike really beasts.

Good god what is wrong with you people

This match means nothing to anyone, just like the Claptrap match before it.

And that's three solid updates for Prinny, going up in percentage each time. This isn't just B8 anymore. Either Prinny's impressing or Ike is embarrassing. Since we've seen Ike before and Prinny's new, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt...but we've seen Laharl a lot too, and we had much lower expectations for Prinny than this because of that. The ASV should bring Prinny down, but he's still coming out of this looking better than expected.

One-on-ones are great.

Oh, and Yoshi's Island was totally not a failed guru nom. Definitely above the fodder line.

Well, we're not even sure how strong Ike really is. He was behind LFF last year, and I'm not sure what to take from his performance in 2007.

Again, I ask: Prinny vs. Claptrap

Well okay, it means something to Krahen because his character turned out not to be a bad choice. It doesn't mean anything for Ike or Zidane, I meant.

Prinny and Claptrap have joke appeal, based on their pictures alone. You wouldn't know Sandal was really a joke unless you "got" the said joke. That surely makes some bit a difference.

One thing I must say is that that picture of Prinny is brilliant... if I knew nothing about either character (and I think a fair few voters won't be familiar with Disgaea or FE), I'd pick him every time.

As said earlier we can't expect every joke character to be a Sandal. Hell Sandal's in the running for weakest character in contest history, possibly below such titans as Tanner and Jade.

And as I've said before, Prinny's a penguin. Who doesn't love penguins?

Fact or Fiction - Prinny would have beaten these (4) seeds:

(4) Captain John Price
(4) Albert Wesker
(4) Commander Shepard

....Ok, time to spin this so that Neku has a chance against Laharl.

Prinny is getting by on joke votes thanks to its pic. I mean, you have generic guy with sword vs. A PENGUIN WITH HANDS ON ITS HIPS!

...yes, clearly. Neku > Laharl with 60%.

Prinny vs. Claptrap

Prinny, but only because Ike > Zidane. I wouldn't try to figure Zidane-Ike through Prinny/Claptrap. You can't really have a clue as to how popular these guys are.

Ehhhh, fiction to Wesker, at least.

The other two, no clue. Prinny could beat Shepard based on what he looked like last year, but with ME2, I dunno.
