Considering how Ryu spiked in the intermissions, I'd say that Hockey Factor is now proven. We should ask Bacon to run a poll and see if GameFAQS loves hockey after the contest ends!




Predix:

(A) Dislike Hockey, Like Ryu -- 12%
(B) Dislike Hockey, Dislike Ryu -- 16%
(C) Like Hockey, Dislike Ryu -- 4%
(D) Like Hockey, Like Ryu -- 68%

Ok, time to find some hope for Dante:

1. Asia will wake up soon.
2. Closing Ceremony


It's now midnight in London. Asia waking up isn't as big as Europe falling asleep. This still isn't over, but Ryu is the clear favorite, no doubt.

Hockey Factor is for real as the votes for the last hour barely dropped from the hour before that. In the Super Bowl match, the votes actually boosted a tiny bit in the hour after the Super Bowl ended. Though that didn't happen here, there was only a 5 vote drop in this hour.

Well Canada is busy celebrating and the game didn't quite finish at the beginning of the hour.

If Terra > Squall happens, GameFAQs sucks.

Thankfully we'll instead see how much Terra leeched from DISSIDIA. Since I'm sure Squall SFF's her badly with that.


Er, since when would Squall need Dissidia to SFF Terra horribly? :)

At this point, I'm willing to buy that. If a SF character is at the 180ish range 'round the time Ken/Wesker was, the lead change WILL happen. :P

From now on, every time there is a debatable match, I WILL take the SF character.
But again, I already did that. Picked both Ken>Wesker and Ryu>Dante.

Well...Dante has jobbed 3/3 debatable matches, hasn't he? He lost Yoshi/Dante, Vincent/Dante, and now Ryu/Dante. Maybe Ryu/Dante 2k3 too if you wanna count that, which means he has NEVER won a debatable match.

To be fair in 2002 we didn't Expect Crono to go Toe to Toe with Freggin Mario.


Then Mario gets utterly annihilated by Link. Making....Sephy the 2nd strongest character X-stat wise?

I mean, Vincent DESTROYED Kerrigan, and some people thought he had a legit chance against Crono. Dante was the first guy to show everyone that Vincent was tough, but not unstoppable when he got 46% on him.

Dante's lost two truly debatable matches (counting this one), both with very slim margins and both with the same bleh DMC2 pictures. I'm aware that people have the opinion that it doesn't matter... and I offer up the polite counteropinion that they're full of it. Aside from it being DMC2, Dante is a character whose strength draws heavily from his design. That's not a cool looking picture.

Its cool in a different sense, a sense that the current jokester Dante from 3/4, is vastly different from. Its definitely my least favorite version of him.

Man, this makes Axel ever worse, doesn't it? KH is so beasty in this contest.

Vincent/Dante was never debatable, no matter what those Kerrigan whiners say. Dante's debatable 1v1 losses are Crono 2002, Ryu 2003, Yoshi 2006 and presumably today. 0 for 4 is pretty bad.

Meh. There's no evidence whatsoever this picture actually hurts him.

Really, it doesn't seem like a bad picture to me, and most others I saw said the same before this match.

Now, this doesn't mean that I'll be taking Dante in any debatable matches from here on out, but that's because I expect him to keep getting stuck with it!

Huh, so the number ends up the same, though for different reasons. Funny that.

But yeah, I think this says a lot of Dante. He's always shown that he can never win a debatable match (and he's even been called "consistent (AKA boring)" on something like every single match writeup he's had, which ain't good for when you need a clutch to take it), and he likely never will unless he gets a new fanbase or something.
