Let's wait until Round 2 to call Neku that weak. He's weak, yeah, but after Prinny it isn't out of the question that Laharl has had some wonky Disgaea boost or something.


pfft, no boost needed. Prinny is just that good.

If bowser gets more on frog than sora did on midna, i'll poopoo my pants in fear.

and yet 60 - 40'd by Laharl seems worse than everything you listed

I'd say it's more equivalent considering Laharl would get similar beatings.

Frog's going to make it close, btw. I bet it's like 55-45.

Samus got 70% on Frog. As long as Bowser breaks 60% he's looking good.

If he gets higher than 65%, watch out Sora

WTF is Laharl doing so well? Like either Neku just really sucks or this is amazing

It's a day match. But if Frog really has no chance of winning... Would they even bother?

Oh, whoops. Well, LOL then, everyone gets a stupid pick(picked Fawful >_>)


I have two wrong and one of them is Prinny.

Not a stupid pick... Voting Prinny > Ike just makes your bracket look awesome ;)

BHF (blue hair factor) for the win.

What? It's not like there's any other reason to vote for these characters.

I don't know, with his new games I think Guybrush will impress against Vincent.

And by impress, I mean barely avoid a tripling.

And now that the awesome of Laharl finally winning a match has passed, I feel kind of bad for Neku. He's a better character than most of the bracket!

60/40 sounds like a good target for Bowser to aim at. Frog did a couple percent better against Scorpion in 2007 than Midna did.

I believe Frog can get 45%. BELIEVE.

Actually, Ganondorf got 64% on Frog last year, albeit with 2 other RPG characters in the poll, and I wouldn't take Ganon over Sora, so 60% is probably too low a target for Bowser.

I'd take Ganon over Sora, but I'd also really consider Ganon over Sonic at this point!

Before I go off to do other stuff, a one-hour recap of votals!

MC/Spy: 8665
Zack/Yuna: 8546
Ike/Prinny: 8211
Alucard/Magus: 9080

Laharl/Neku: 6553

Based purely on the number of votes Laharl and Prinny got, Prinny gets 45.56% on Laharl. Very unreliable, but these are based on the number of votes each character has in the first hour, where Laharl's beating his opponent with 58.29% and Prinny was losing to his by 38.94%.

Just some interesting trivia that would make me want to pick Prinny over Laharl 1v1.

It's Frog. He'll get a strong board vote, drop off below 40%, and then surprise us with a run to pass 40% by the end of the match.

Or he'll croak and get crushed by Bowser.

I'm not feeling that confident about Arthas anymore. I mean, Kefka has almost everything going in his favor:

-Better pic than he normally gets
-Night match
-New game
-Arthas not benefiting from hype like last contest.

All that combined with year over year changes could be enough to give him the win.

Arthas still has this, but I don't know if it's gonna be by as large as margin as most people think.

1. Kefka's pic is better than usual? Better that bathrobe Kefka, maybe, but it's still not great.
2. Arthas is 100% a night character as well.
3. I did hear he sucks in Dissidia, though.
4. A WoW expansion containing Arthas was released recently, I think.

Nobody "sucks" in Dissidia, except maybe Ultimecia. The winner of the tournament was a Kefka mainer, actually. And besides, he has some brilliant quotes in Dissidia.

Kefka's picture is just as awful as usual. The only reason I've seen to doubt Arthas was Ike/Prinny, and this current match alleviates a lot of my doubts from that one.

Neku's got this in the bag, considering his poll occurs one day after Sora's.

I'd take Midna over Liquid Snake. Her match against Sora shows that Midna's performance in 2008 wasn't a fluke and she does have a fair amount of strength.

Currently 3/4 wings of Icecrown Citadel (the dungeon he's the boss of) is open. He is in the final wing and should be opened up within a week or two. But really, you can't play WoW these days without Arthas everywhere. He's on loading screens, he's related to nearly every quest in Northrend, and he appears in a lot of quests himself. Last contest Wotlk wasn't even out yet; it was only hype. IF anything, I'd expect him to be stronger since then, because people who play WoW would have seen him now and haven't seen him if they weren't paying attention to the hype last contest.
