You know... before sucking it up in 4-ways, Tails did get 42% on Dante in 2k4....
Maybe we should've seen this coming, I dunno

Really, the only way I'm going to start worrying about Kratos is if he can't outdo this number on Tails.

Ahahahaha

Charizard > Kratos LOCKED

A character who lost to The Boss is putting almost 42% on a guy most people have going to the fourth round.

....I love this contest.

Again, with what are you basing this on? Your decision of where you think Duke is based on hocus pocus and BELIEVE?

I like how you ignore the fact that Duke is a niche character that probably has the same fanbase in a 4way as he does in a 1v1. Hence my whole argument. But ok.

My point was already made with my other post about Altair probably not having an established fanbase yet in the last contest, and casuals being more likely to vote for him, but with other characters as options he won't get as many votes. (At least last contest, this contest I would say he's more established with his game having time to set in, and the success of AC2 as well as the impending AC3.)

Tails...haha. Kratos will eventually start gaining, but this can't be a good sign for people like me who have him against Charizard next round. There's no doubt at this point that Charizard will start off with the lead on Kratos, and he should probably have a better day-vote than night-vote. Kratos has a solid day-vote too, but if he doesn't end up improving significantly on Tails then that's probably not going to be enough.

It's not just bad, HaRR. It means we got owned ridiculously hard due to Kratos dropping like a ROCK. XO

The biggest thing Sora has in his favor is that the division final will be a day match. Sora beat Squall during the day, which implies he could probably beat Crono and Vincent during the day too. On the other hand, a new Pokemon game is coming out that day.......

You know, we talk about Sora/Charizard being close, but I don't think Duke can take it to Mewtwo like Midna did. It's still going to be an uphill battle for Charizard, especially since we're seeing he's likely going to have minimal bracket-support.

Where is his hardcore, unshakable fanbase there?

Would you like to prove evidence for this point? Because we thought that about Pokémon, Master Chief and Joke characters. It's been proven bull.

He's gonna be benefitted by the fact that Pokemon HG/SS comes out on match day.

Hehe. Speaking of characters who've jumped off a mortal coil...

This is a MONSTROUSLY pathetic performance by Kratos that almost kills all Charizard/Kratos hype dead.

Let live the Charizard/Sora hype now I suppose. That's discussion is going to get pretty endless around here I'm thinking :)

We'll be able to compare them against Sora, but they look pretty close to me assuming there's nothing odd going on in either of their matches.

But this tournament has thrown Kefka, Liquid and now Tails at us. Anything could be fishy.

Gotta consider Zard also did better in his worst time, while Bowser did worse during the day on a CT character.

Kratos is making this look marginally better, but he's still going to finish way below vs. Tails than Charizard did against Duke, which is entirely pathetic.

Well, even if Frog = Duke, Bowser beat Frog in a day match (when Frog is weak) while Charizard beat Duke at night (when Duke is strong).

Even so, this makes no sense unless there's some reason for Tails to revert back to his 2k4 values. Seriously, NOBODY expected Kratos to flop this hard.

I'm not so sure about that. Tails did do very well in the vote-ins, and those have been startlingly accurate so far. If I did Oracle predictions, I would go and rise my Simon Belmont % after this.

Charizard is still the favorite, but it's debatable.
