Aw yeah, Squall with 70%.

I imagine this will go down though. I can't see Akuma getting the board vote.

You're looking at it the wrong way!

Squall > Snake, baby! I know I'm takin' Akuma > Protoman!

Gray Fox would be cool and probably the next strongest, though Psycho Mantis would be the best. Otacon might be interesting.

Volgin > all though.

Meh, I don't think he'd be very strong. He just doesn't have very much appeal.

Squall's outdoing his predictions by about 2% here, right? If so, this looks great now that Auron's failed to do more than perform as expected. I hope the Lion can push it even higher with the next update!

We already have characters as strong as those guys in the contest already (Ridley, Protoman, Falco, Neku).

When you have a bad board vote and STILL go out and best your predictions by 2%, you know there's something in there. If Squall increases on the next update by a nice margin, Squall>Auron is a goddamn confirmed lock.

Considering Squall was with Aeris (and Geno if you want to go that route) in Akuma's only match and they've both gotten releases since then, it's hard to say what's really expected. Squall's looking good so far though.

As was probably expected, the top tiers got killed on this match. We lost half the remainings -2s and tons of -3s, -4s and -5s. As you go down the list, the prediction percentage increases but it's not until you reach the -8s that it goes above 50.

You don't have to "reason" Squall > Auron out of this. Squall doesn't have anything to prove.

I'm just saying, its pretty stupid to think "LOL SQUALL > AURON CONFIRMED!" because he's almost getting 70% on AKUMA.

If you use what Akuma got on Geno and then work from what Geno got on Squall in 2005 Akuma is expected to get around 69%.
