I have thought that Crono might have Old School SFFd Simon, but there's really little evidence to back that up. There's barely been any old-school Vs. old-school matches over the years to back it up.

Although CT did seemingly overperform against Super Mario World in '04.

Hmmm.....

This Ezio showing is in the running for Turd of the Round.

Let's wait a few hours before calling Ezio Turd of the Round. Remember he started off bad due a glitch and many people deciding to support Simon instead. If he can hit 60% with the ASV alone, that might be enough to avoid being labeled a turd.

I can't see Ezio being as weak as old Simon. Simon must be overperforming or something. Maybe he's like Pac-Man, impressing against weaker competition and folding against stronger opponents.

That, or Simon got the Dissidia boost!

I wish people would stop saying that the Liquid pic was bad. They're ALWAYS bad.

Still an open challenge for somebody to find/make a good full body/torso pic of him.

But seriously, what the hell.

And because of the glitch we can't actually compare votals to see whether this is a fodder match like Laharl/Neku and Ratchet/Eddie, both matches getting god-awful votals.

True. We lost, what, 2000 votes at most? That can be accounted for when comparing matches later.

Ezio, like Altair (and Dante and Kratos), is a character very dependent on appeal, because let's face it, their games will never amount to a tub of beans on this site. The downside for Ezio is that Altair has probably assumed the role as his series's central character, and that Ezio just has a really goddamn stupid name. I'm absolutely certain he'd be doing better if his name was Eltair. Of course, he barely even has a picture advantage here because they look so similar. Take off the robe, and Ezio becomes Simon. It almost looks like a before/after pic of some kind.

In other news, new 2D Sonic confirmed for XBox360, PS3 and Wiiware for this summer.

Obviously this won't affect his chances of getting past Ganondork and Kirby, but in terms of long-term strength how do you think this will affect him?

He could pull a Snake and experience a complete revival, shaking up the noble nine in the process, or he could pull a Crono and keep dropping like a rock despite a new release.

Probably somewhere in between the two imo.

Crono hasn't been dropping since 2007. At the least, CTDS has managed to stop the fall for a few years.

Also, Ezio isn't in the running for turd of the round. Magus and especially Arthas are way out of Ezio's reach.

Uhh...using a performance where a character takes over 50% of the votes against three others as something bad is...not a good idea, just sayin'.

Also, does nobody else think we could be seeing something similar (though in a smaller scale, of course) to Sora in 2003 with Ezio here?

There's no reason to think Sonic'll boost yet, but it's definitely possible for him to gain some strength back by the time his match with Ganondorf rolls around if updates keep on coming and hype begins to build.
