uhhh no you get an egg given to you when you do a mandatory dungeon.

...What? I apologize if I'm wrong here, but I remember having to help a trainer called Riley at Iron Island (which isn't mandatory, at least in D/P) to get a Riolu egg.

Yeah, Iron Island was definitely optional.

IIRC in DP, Iron Island was completely skipable. In Platinum, you had to go there briefly. Either way, Lucario is far from being front and center in the game. I think Lucario just happened to been chosen to be in a lot of promotional material.

Lucario was definitely optional in the games. However, he was the character most featured before the games came out and got the first D/P movie based on him.

I'd be very surprised if he managed a cut. He can just hope to get this thing down to about 62-64% and not look quite so bad.

Yeah, but it's easier to go down than up. I doubt Charizard gets it back up over 64% if the Duke brings it down to 63% or less.

At 1:30 AM, Revolver had 48.01% on Red.
At the end of the match, Revolver had 49.83%.

At 1:30 AM, Duke has 33.32% on Charizard...so the big scaly dragon's got a good chance to keep above 64%. The following were just short of finishing with 64%:

L-Block against HK-47, night
Bowser against Frog, day
Sora against Midna, night
Sonic against Lightning, night

Compare as you will.

Okay, so Charizard's definitely a midcarder. This type of performance actually gives him a good chance to the division finals. It depends on how Kratos does later today.

But man, Duke, I had him originally in my bracket. After impressing the heck out of us in the 4-ways, he flops hard here.

At this point I think Charizard will have a clear win over Kratos. Sora is in trouble(yes, not bowser)...

I find it funny to think that Kefka was the 5 seed and Duke the 10 seed in this division, plus that Niko is an 8 seed in another division while Marth is a 16 seed in another division when you consider who beat who.

Charizard looks like a beast now, but it could just be that Duke falls in line with Master Chief/Arthas in being better in the 4-way format. Bad news for Freeman.
Lopen | Posted 1/31/2010 3:33:57 AM | message detail
Yeah Duke wasn't really all that impressive in 4 ways. Anyone who picked Duke to do well here was skeptical of Charizard I'd have to hope.

Looks like Duke's another guy who's much weaker 1 on 1. Which makes sense for the apparent discrepancies with his earlier performances.
Iamthekuzalol | Posted 1/31/2010 5:11:54 AM | message detail
The morning vote is starting now, look like Charizard might even hit 65% at this rate. Kratos/Charizard should be one of the most anticipated match next round.

charmander6000 | Posted 1/31/2010 5:33:54 AM | message detail
Not sure if it was because of what he was getting at night, but there's a lot of Charizard overestimation. I say Frog/Midna would defeat Duke, though Charizard is a contender for this division. At least the winner of Kratos/Charizard would defeat HK-47.

Looking at past polls, and... Kratos actually doesn't impress me too much. Less than 60% on Jill on round 1 and 63% on Jill in Round 2? Couldn't beat a SFFed Auron? Getting close to doubled by 2008 Sonic? Hell, he only got 53% on Riku.

I really need to actually look at past matches next time I do my bracket. He's much weaker than I remembered him to be. Charizard won't have problems beating that.

The board seems to be banking on a boost from GoW3. I would rank him at just below Leon, so he's no Sora/Bowser that's for sure.
