That's pretty much the worst picture Ganon can get outside of his spirtes (which he'll get to deal with next round). He'll still win, chill out, I'm not serious.

I was about to back his spread (65%). I think that's a "no bet" now.

Luigi's LM pic caused him to underperform (in my opinion, pretty big underperform) against Ammy. Ken is stronger than Ammy, or he should be anyway, and Ganondorf isn't all that much above Luigi. No way he takes his spread with that abomination.

I too will never give Amaterasu any respect

Which is funny since I always vote for her!

Luigi's LM pic caused him to underperform (in my opinion, pretty big underperform) against Ammy.

Ammy avoided being doubled by Crono... I don't think breaking 40% on Luigi in a night match is an overperformance. I find it hard to trust Ken... he got 34% on Samus, but that's so long ago as to be irrelevant, and his narrow win over Wesker doesn't inspire any confidence, RE5 boost or otherwise.

I stand behind Ryu > Chief from what I said before however. Ryu looks awesome, and I took him in my bracket to take Chief down.

I wouldn't expect Ammy to stink up the joint against Stallbert Lossker like Ken did...

Since when was Ken supposed to be strong in these things? I thought people were content in him being the low midcarder/high fodder that he is.

Anyway, Ammy is pretty strong (a lot stronger then Ken even on his best day). This contest pretty much cemented her spot as a solid midcarder.

Notice the "big" in front of the mistake? The 1 point matches aren't big.

The ones I've missed other than Crono were Kefka > Arthas, The Boss > Nathan Drake, Ammy > Shadow, Kratos Aurion > Sackboy, and Darth Revan > Terra.

Really? To me, that looks like a great picture for Altair and a pretty crappy one from Vivi.

Maybe so, but that doesn't really transcend well in picture form (unless those eyes were like red flaming dragons circling around the pupil or something)

I personally think Vivi has the picture advantage by a mile, though Altair doesn't look bad either.

Ganondorf and Zidane look bloody awful, though.

I'm thinking that might be my Zidane, but it's hard to tell.

Sonic/Knux pic is good, although they're facing the wrong way.

LOL Ganondorf, Ken overperformance imminent

Kirby/GlaDOS is nothing special. After seeing what the Cube is doing here, Kirby's gonna destroy her anyway.

I don't really think either character has an advantage in Vivi/Altair. I love that pic of Vivi, and the Altair one is good, too. I think he looks better when his face is hidden and/or there's some sort of blade showing.

Big Boss got this.

Lovin' the Ike pic. If that's my Zidane, I'm sorry, guys.

Here comes ZackFAQs!

Hayabusa/Chief is really good. Hayabusa looks great.

Zack looks all right, but it can't compare to his awesome R1 picture. That was just brilliant.

I'm really curious to see how GlaDOS does against Kirby. I have a feeling Fawful is going to look pretty terrible...

Fact/Fiction: Sonic breaks 60% on Knuckles (or I guess we should ask if you think Sonic is going to SFF Knux)
Fact/Fiction: Ganondorf doubles Ken

Fun Fact: Nathan Drake currently gets 75.41% on Sandal. If 2008 Drake = 2010 Drake, Sandal is worth 4.63% on Link.

2008 CATS would then beat Sandal with 87.15% of the vote.

Fact. Just going with instinct on this one, I guess - I have a feeling Sonic's performance against Lightning was better than most think.

Fiction. Ganondorf probably couldn't double Guybrush with a picture like that...

All joking aside, I think Ganon will almost pull off the doubling, but fall just short. I'm thinking 64-36 or so.


Fun Fact: Nathan Drake currently gets 75.41% on Sandal. If 2008 Drake = 2010 Drake, Sandal is worth 4.63% on Link.

0:05 | 63.68% | 36.32% | 1349
1:00 | 60.94% | 39.06% | 9552
2:00 | 59.20% | 40.80% | 5775
3:00 | 58.28% | 41.72% | 4144
4:00 | 57.29% | 42.71% | 3140
5:00 | 56.39% | 43.61% | 2589
6:00 | 57.58% | 42.42% | 2527
7:00 | 59.71% | 40.29% | 3011
8:00 | 59.86% | 40.14% | 3884
9:00 | 60.73% | 39.27% | 4309
10:00 | 60.03% | 39.97% | 4438
11:00 | 60.62% | 39.38% | 4446
12:00 | 60.23% | 39.77% | 4247

Trends go about as expected. Luigi does well with the first hour and the morning vote, while Ammy does well overnight.

And now, for some serious thoughts:

Sonic/Knux: It's not what we wanted, but it's still good. Probably the fairest match pic of the bunch.

Ganon/Ken: Ken overperformance incoming. Too bad it's a day match, or else he would have looked even better. Ganon still has nothing to worry about.

Kirby/GlaDOS: This could be the blowout of Round 2. Meaningless pic advantage to Kirby.

Vivi/Altair: I think Altair might have a slight pic advantage. That Vivi pic is zoomed in really close; you can't even see his cool hat. Still, it's not nearly as much of an advantage as Altair is used to. Giving Vivi the match here.

Mario/Big Boss: I'm not as big on that BB pic as others, but it's still good and makes for a good bright/dark contrast with Mario. Boss will hopefully do well.

Zidane/Ike: Can someone let me know if "Bishie" comes into play here

MM/Zack: Zack is a handsome man. I wasn't sure if he could get the pic advantage without a brooding pose and the Buster Sword, but he pulled it off. Anyone who would ever vote for that goofy looking mega kid over MMX is a loser.

Hayabusa/Chief: Exactly the picture I was hoping Hayabusa would get. He's got the pic advantage and no excuses; time to make good on it.
