And I'm more upset by this result because it's another hit to my bracket and I'm pretty sure yo likes Kingdom Hearts where-as I've already voiced my opinion on it.

I'm cool with Heavy and Spy, but give me Scout and Soldier any day.

Yes, I like characters based on how good I am with them from time to time!

I for some reason thought Roxas was weak as hell

Lemme guess: It had to do with his performances in 2007 and 2008.

Heh, Scout ftw. I'm surprised he hasn't seen a contest yet. He seems to me like the biggest fan favorite, even over Spy.

Scout? Really? I've seen more love for Spy, Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy than Scout.

By the way, Heavy has cut percentage for 19 straight updates, which has got to be a record. The only thing I can think of that might beat that out is L-Block falling or maybe Starcraft.

If you want a legitimately moronic mod system, go to Gamespot. Our system is heavenly by comparison.

Their ToU has the same wording as our ToU, although every instance of the word "GameFAQs" would be replaced by "GameSpot" in their ToU. Their ToU also has some stuff about their paid services (Premium accounts) and promotional stuff, which GameFAQs doesn't have. But for the most part, our ToU is pretty much the same as their ToU.

Despite having the same ToU, GameSpot mods moderate stuff a little more harshly than GameFAQs mods do. Also, some stuff that would not normally be considered a violation on GameFAQs would be considered a violation on GameSpot.

Gamespot's system is about the same as this one. I used to be a mod at Gamespot, and we looked for the same trivial **** mods here look for. I could kind of understand why we had to be so harsh though because what's not offensive to a normal person could be inappropriate for the younger members of the community.

I am almost sure L-Block breaks that record. L-Block's round 5 match was when L-Block started out at 56.89% and dropped in percentage for 100 updates before getting a percentage increase. Which finally happened at 8:32 AM.

Maybe Heavy did have an early rally after all. That's 6 straight percentage increases for Roxas already and we're already in the night vote where Roxas normally sucks at.

That would never be moderated on GameFAQs either.

It's not the fact that GameSpot mods can be harsh sometimes, but the fact that they moderate stuff that would never, ever be moderated on GameFAQs. Such as the contest discussion topic example mentioned earlier.

Only when I know for a fact it's true. If you accuse TF2 characters of having no character or being boring, you haven't played the game. Period.

Except this is the exact same conversation from the Laharl/Neku match when I was accused of not having played Disgaea either.

"No character" and "not interesting" are totally different things. TF2 is composed of caricatures if anything, hardly deep or meaningful characters, which is what I was referring to as "good".

I've played Portal, Companion Cube is still totally a joke character.

GLaDOS isn't, of course, she's a character who happens to be funny, but any inanimate object is totally a joke character.

But WCC is a joke character. I don't really care if you find it funny or how big of a Portal fanboy you are, it's still a thing and not a real character. Liking it is one thing but passing it off as a character is just a lie.

GlaDOS is an actual character though, yes. I don't recall anyone saying otherwise.

Assuming Roxas and spy are on roughly equal terms, this makes Roxas look not too bad, KH guys are mostly day types, so it's an alright but totally dull performance here.
Though if Roxas gets pushed more in future games I can see him getting stronger than say, Riku eventually.
Shame Axel got wasted against Dante though.
