I dunno about Solid and Liquid. We haven't seen Solid 2010 in action yet, after all!

And again, if Liquid benefitted from Luigi being the obvious favorite in the first round, the second round results say it wasn't by much as you have to give a pretty extreme percentage of Bowser's votes to Luigi to even put him above his first round numbers. Unless you want to say Liquid was the obvious favorite in R2 and suffered it himself or something.

Either 2008 Liquid is a fluke or 2010 Liquid is a fluke. But then again, I tend not to trust anything the guy does because his performances fluctuate more wildly than any other character I've ever seen in these contests.

Well, that or Altair's a beast and he's going to beat Sonic in a month or so.

Yeah no clue what happened to Riku but I guess KH2 worked wonders for him and Axel. All non-Sora KH characters have pretty much been mediocre; which makes me confident Claire wins a rematch with Kairi.

It's a shame this contest didn't start in the summer like usual. Proto Man probably would have got into the main bracket without the vote-ins, and would have gotten a turbofodder Tales character to beat the piss out of en route to a second round destruction of a Sonic side character like Knuckles. Oh well!

OMG! You mean all this time we was overlooking the most important factor of this contest?
THE WINTER FACTOR? Like how else do you explain Arthas losing? It's freezing cold right now, so people will vote for the clown who can fry you with a Flare, duuuh FFVI reminds me of sand and heat, Arthas of Winter colds, the ice is annoying, i don't like these cold dudes.
Of course Axel is losing even though he's a flame wielder, but Dante has no shirt, so Dante has the summer factor and axel's clothes remind you of the current bad winter weather, it all makes sense.

Sonic Team: "We're going to release garbage games for 10 years based entirely on our marketing department's moronic suggestions. Then when we finally pull our heads out of our asses and realize what our core audience wants, we're going to milk them for all they're worth by releasing our new game episodically. I have no idea why our entire fanbase has deserted us except for the creepy furries. There has to be a way we can alienate them as well!"

And on a side note, is amazing how legit 4way stats are if you give them a chance

Dante (2007c) VS Axel (2007c)

Dante has a strength of 33.17.
Axel has a strength of 20.17.

Dante wins with 69.60% of the vote!
A win of 61,085 with 155,861 total votes cast.

4 ways are going to be right at least some of the time. If you look at the results for every match so far this year extrapolated through 4-ways, they aren't that accurate.

Lol, looks like Dante is scoring 58% on Ryu next round, let's compare MM2006 to Dante.

-Both of them drew the exact same opponent in the first 2 rounds. (Axel, Ryu)

-Both of them were being placed as 2nd seeder in the 6th Division

-Both of them scored 69+% on Axel.

-Assuming Dante wins, both of them are losing in the fourth round.

Match XLIX: (1) Solid Snake vs. (16) Proto Man

Information

Name: Solid Snake
Game/Series: Metal Gear
Previous Contest: 2008
Performance: 2nd in round 6

Name: Proto Man
Game/Series: Mega Man
Previous Contest: 2004
Performance: Lost to Zero in round 1

Analysis

What we have here is the end result of a bandwagon and a character that has been missing in action since 2004. While the winner is not in doubt the percent is debatable. Proto Man might as well be a new character since using stats from that far back would be useless, especially since he was stuck behind SFF in his only match.

Like Kirby it was pretty obvious that Solid Snake had a bandwagon towards the end of the contest. This didn’t stop people from pulling for the Solid Snake > Sephiroth upset. That upset was so popular that at one point Solid Snake > Sephiroth was actually the favourite in the BOP. Personally I believe that Snake ranks at around the Mario/Samus tier which unless there has been a drop in strength Sephiroth is just above. We won’t really know for sure until later in the contest.

Before talking about Proto Man’s current strength I want to talk about his strength from 2004. It’s a common belief that Proto Man was SFF by Zero in that contest, but even his SFF self was at least the fodder line. This makes me believe that Proto Man was a decent mid-card back in that contest. This however was probably the strongest year for Mega Man and Zero. Since then Zero has gone from near elite to high mid-card which also means that Proto Man is most likely fodder.

Scoring high blowouts have been difficult in this contest, but if there is one character that can get one it would be Solid Snake. However I don’t believe that Proto Man has reached the stage of terrible fodder so he may be able to hold up better than what some people think. Also does anyone remember when CJayC called him Protoman in 2004?

charmander6000’s Bracket: Solid Snake > Proto Man

charmander6000’s Prediction: Solid Snake wins, 72.47% - 27.53%
