Revan has no excuses, he had the best possible match, the darth in his name and he flopped against Terra of all people.

Another Squall increase. Sucks that it's Akuma who's on the ass end of this, but other than that, this is brilliant!

The FFVI ASV is abysmal. He woulda had a shot especially since he was almost even in US.

We've seen how diluted the ASV is this year, even for western characters. Bowser didn't have that great of a day vote against Frog either, for that matter.

Akuma didn't boost, cos the casuals found it too hard to unlock him.

Squall is rip-roaring here. I have no faith in SF as of right now (though if Ken/Ryu don't fall apart next round, this'll look realllllly good) but he's giving Auron no quarter here.

Even if Auron does pull it off it'll have a Dante/Yoshi vibe to it. Two ho-hum performances against Aeris/Zero while Squall gets to trounce Akuma and Terra? Favorite, indeed.

Man, if I can unlock all the SFIV characters, anyone can!

But yeah, Gouken's the tough one.

I banged my head against a wall when I unlocked gouken, was messing around on Hardest with Gief, the L1 and i went perfect and smacked everyone silly.
Gief is broken against the AI.

Dammit at least the Knuckles supporters knew to argue for better bracket placement instead of being stuck with a hopeless upset year after year!

... *sees Knuckles stuck against Sonic this year*

Okay so it's probably better than going against Cloud again

I bet Squall's getting a banner boost, especially now that people have seen that he's ditched Rinoa for the Cube!

Goddamn it, one of the 30 -3's not on the leaderboard. Guess there was more Terra support than I thought.....

Here's hoping Soap wins, because I have a feeling Ness/Geno is going to knock me out of contention for a while.

Auron did roughly what was expected of him. Squall is doing roughly what was expected of him. Squall was the favorite to begun with so this isn't a good thing for Auron. However, it means Auron and Squall probably also meet our expectations of being pretty close to each other and are close enough for Auron to have a shot at winning.

red sox 777 | Posted 2/12/2010 11:09:55 AM | message detail
Revan might have an outside shot at winning a day match against Terra. Yes the ASV has been diluted but with a full 24-hour match, it would be as strong as ever, and a day match would be more favorable to him than a 24-hour match. It's just that the other sections of a day match are about the same as the ASV in a 12-hour day match, so it looks weaker.

Revan's chances there are probably very low though. There's very few matches where there'll be more than a 4% swing between night and day, and Terra got almost 54%.

If we compare what Geno got in 2005 and 2007 Akuma should have been expected to get 31.67% on Squall

Seems like he's doing as expected.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 2/12/2010 11:27:28 AM | message detail
Two stupid picks > four stupid picks.

Drake > Boss, Magus > Alucard, Arthas > Kefka and Shadow > Amatasetaersu were all logical picks grounded in some form of reason that just didn't pan out. All 4 were tossup matches that he just happened to guess right.

Phoenix > Jecht was a terrible pick given how weak Phoenix is compared to what a post-Dissidia Jecht would look like and Kratos A > Sackboy was just a ridiculous pick and easily the biggest Board 8 "whoops" of the contest so far. There was NO reason to take a Tales character there.

BT, why are you the things that you choose to be? Phoenix/Jecht was almost as close as Drake/Boss and Shadow/Ammy, and Sackboy > Kratos Aurion was a lot close than Magus/Alucard or Arthas/Kefka was.

I really just need to go back to not responding to you. I was doing good for awhile...!

You're right, and noone was making fun of stupid picks in tossup matches. Terra/Revan was a tossup with strong aruments for both sides. Nothing even came close to saying Kratos > Sackboy or Phoenix > Jecht.

Jecht barely even appears in his main game and most likely had to rely on a handheld PSP game for that bit of extra mileage to actually win.. That's not exactly an overwhelming vote of confidence to have that match locked up.

Terra/Revan was a tossup with strong aruments for both sides.

didn't you say the opposite at the beginning of the match?

in fact i hardly remember you saying anything is a tossup. you're usually a jerk about everything.
