And Yoshi/Crono occurs on a weekday, which means Yoshi gets an ASV.

Bowser got one against Frog, too. If Yoshi/Crono goes the same way, Crono won't have much to worry about.

Yoshi vs Crono could be great if Yoshi is at similar 1 on 1 strength to 2k6.. Imagine if he improved. The fact that it's an afternoon match makes it worse..

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2551

nearly 43% on Snake in 2k6 is no easy task.. MM hit 44% on Snake, Sonic hit 45.. We know Crono lost to Sonic, so they were only a couple % off if we compare that year. Could it happen O_O?

Yup, that and Tifa/Vyse. I must not think of such things though. Being overconfident is just asking for Crono to let me down again.

The board vote in an obvious blowout almost always goes to the underdog.

Hey, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser all looked good so far this contest. Mario Bros. Wii boost? Makes as much sense as any Dissidia effect whatsoever!

??? people thought Luigi would get under 55% against KOS-MOS.

Though had Tifa not just put up Cloud-like numbers on Vyse the Luigi > Tifa train would have started right there.

God I really wish I had Yoshi > Crono right now. Not because I think it'll happen, but because I want Yoshi to win and nothing hurts my bracketing heart more than to bet against the character I want to win and be wrong. I want to go vote Yoshi, watch him be at 60% at 15 seconds, and go "Oh yeah I called that GO YOSHI!" instead of "HA HA **** MY BRACKET GO YOSHI!"

RPG Boswer is definitely in my top 15 vg characters ever. "King of Awesome" indeed.

Similarly, the only version of Yoshi I really like is the Yoshi's Island version, mostly due to the art style and the fact that its a ZOMG****INGAMAZING game and all that.

Yoshi and Bowser are overrated.

Actually, now that I think about it, pretty much every Mario character is mediocre other than Mario and Luigi themselves. Luckily, both are more than badass enough to make up for the supporting cast.

Mario is a character I genuinely like. He's noble, heroic, and never backs down from a challenge. Where other heroes would hesitate, Mario just jumps on ahead and overcomes any obstacle in his way. Luigi's my #1 favorite character overall, but Mario is my #2.

There's a reason ****ing everybody in the Mushroom Kingdom worships Mario and treat him like he's a god.

Even his enemies take one look at him and go, "OH **** IT'S ****ING MARIO" and either get their asses owned by him or simply run away in fear.

Nobody likes ****ing with Mario.
