Ammy's over 49% in Europe now! If that holds, Luigi's in for some major pain overnight.

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Ammy seems to have gotten better as the years went by, but that's just an impression, what do the stats say?
---
Shakes Fist!

Nah, it is pretty obscure; it didn't impress all that much in the last games contest. Ammy's just got an appealing design that people will vote for regardless of the game she's in.

Can't say I agree there. Considering its competition -- all casual, multi-million selling games -- Okami did as good as you could have reasonably expected it to do there. It was never going to be in contention to advance, but that was a good show.

2008 Luigi (which is undoubtedly overrated because it's based off of Liquid) gets 66%+ on Ammy. In my mind, I've adjusted Luigi and Bowser down to Yoshi's level in the 2008 stats, in which case Luigi gets 61.71% on her.

So not too far off. In a full 24 hour match or a day match, Weegi probably gets close to that. Ammy will look better because she gets a night match though.

I'd still take Meta Knight. Luigi almost certainly SFF'd him, but I think it could be close.

Gordon Freeman vs. Amaterasu?

Meta Knight got 41.73% on Ryu last year, probably very comparable with what Ammy will end up here. Not sure who I'd take in that match.

wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

MK got 41.73% on Ryu in 2008 while Ammy got 40.63% on him. Between that and MK having more exposure, I'll still take MK...though I fear MK could have been more of a four-way creation than Ammy ever was. Before Luigi/MK, we never saw MK have more than 22.61% in any given poll, plus L-Block or Nintendo characters were in all of his previous matches. Luigi smashed MK with SFF though, so it's hard to tell what's the truth, but he did win his vote-in poll despite having Marth and Peach in the poll...but that goes back to low percentages; 13.6% isn't a lot of votes.

Whatever though, Ammy's proving she would definitely make for a fun match with MK, even if she's the underdog...or rather, ahem, underwolf.

God, I love Okami so much. What a great game.

No reason to fear someone being a 4-way creation anymore, really, except perhaps for World of Warcraft. I do think the spotlight might have shifted away from Meta Knight a bit since 2008, since he's the star of Brawl.

Europe, I'm not sure.

That doesn't explain why the rest of Asia outside of Japan likes Ammy!

Although part of this is that Nintendo is much stronger in North America than the rest of the world.

The possibility is there, but only if The Cube goes well above what Luigi gets here because Ammy probably beats The Boss pretty easily, I imagine.

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"

Hmmm, I guess that means Shadow didn't do so bad in retrospect.

You could say he looks better than Knuckles.
---
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

Asia...google 'Amaterasu'.

Yeah, I know that Amaterasu is a Japanese goddess (fun fact, though, the first google image search hit for Amaterasu is Okami fanart =P), but the game itself didn't do all that well in that region, from what I understand.

Then again, I bet we'd have a bunch of people voting for "Jesus" even if the game he was in wasn't that popular =P

No reason to fear someone being a 4-way creation anymore, really, except perhaps for World of Warcraft. I do think the spotlight might have shifted away from Meta Knight a bit since 2008, since he's the star of Brawl.

I mostly agree, though I think I should have said MK could have looked substantially better in his particular four-way matches just by never needing big numbers. Sephiroth was in both of his matches in 2007 while MK was dealing with Nintendo-LFF in every direction, and Ryu/L-Block were too far out of his league to be competitive anyway (though having The Dog be smashed let MK get his highest percentage ever at that time). His hardcore-appeal to big Kirby-fans and competitive SSBB-players could have helped him out in these times, though I don't like bringing up the hard-core theory again.

It's not like Luigi's much stronger than Fox nor is Fox a scrub in the Nintendo-chain, and MK broke 40% on Fox in 2007. Peach impressed against Gordon three matches ago, and MK beat her nicely before SSBB ever came out (and beat her worse in the vote-ins). I think MK's probably legit, but the way Luigi killed him makes me cautious of his low percentages in the past.

I dunno though, I might be over-rating the difference here. I just wish MK would have been in a better position to be read or competitive.


Meta-Knight VS Gordon Freeman, who ya got?

I would be fine with a compromise that makes every vote from the USA worth 3/5 of a vote.

Aside from never making 3 dumbass last minute changes that are going to cost me 5 points, I'd switch from taking Liquid so far. He let me down hard this year.

A quick glance through the bracket disappoints; it doesn't seem like Round 2 will be as exciting as the first. Barring shockers, here are the only matches that realistically could be exciting:

Vivi/Altair
Zidane/Ike
Ryu/Chief
Riku/Captain Falcon
Ryu/Dante

Maybe I should include Kratos/Charizard and Yoshi/Missingno, but I feel both of those have pretty huge favorites going in.
