#441 Hmph.
52.40% on Leon
46.61% on Kirby
52.01% on Master Chief
44.01% on Sonic
30.51% on Sephiroth

Some matches from Dante last year. Are those really so impressive that we don't think Ryu can match them? Maybe I'll be proven wrong in ten minutes but I don't quite understand this "Dante has been totally awesome!" thing.

If you want to go back to 2007 he lost to the rat and got like 30% on Snake/MC.


This isn't "artificially close." Nothing there is out of Ryu's range.

Well, looks like I'm not getting anything done for today. With things being so close now, it seems Ryu is more likely to gain as brackets and the board vote wear off, but then again maybe they already have.

Congrats to Krahenprophet for his well-deserved victory.
ZFS | Posted 2/28/2010 9:22:10 AM | message detail
Yeah, I don't know what this 'artificially close' stuff is about. There was plenty of reason to believe this match would have been like this before it started, before the pic was even shown. And you're not getting me to believe that Dante fans are simply not voting for him because his pic is from DMC2. That's just silly.

Now if Ryu goes on to win handily, then yeah, you're probably right. But if this stays within 1%? Pic screwed Dante, simple as that.

Why the hell would someone vote against Dante based on the picture? Who cares that it's from DMC2? Other than hardcore fans who would vote for him anyway, who would be able to tell the difference?

Yeah I agree. I really doubt Dante fans would not vote Dante just because it has a DMC2 art. It's not like this is Zero Suit Samus or Solid Snake **** or anything. Pics only made the difference in recognizability.

They do make a difference. Whether you want to believe it or not, there are always a lot of people who haven't played a single game of both characters in a match. Who do you think they vote for?

Remember when Duke Nukem had a pic so good you thought the result would be reversed? What happened then?
Remember when Ganondorf apparently had the worst pic ever and was going to get under 60%? What happened there?

Jeez he doesn't even look bad. DMC2 is Dante's best look, regardless of the game itself being bad. I think Ryu's pic is worse.

But you're logic is that it's bad because it's DMC2.

Who, besides hardcore gamers, gives a crap about how bad DMC2 was? Why would this affect Dante?

Which is not the case here. It's the same as all of his other pics. Unless people dislike DMC2 because of Dante's physical character design, I see no reason why the pic should matter.

He overperformed. You think Duke is worth 40% on Kratos?

Remember when Ganondorf apparently had the worst pic ever and was going to get under 60%? What happened there?<

He underperformed. You think Ken/Wesker are honestly worth even 35% on Ganondorf?
