Seriously, Squall would be doing better than this against Fox.

awwwww yeah. Melodramatic villain who only speaks in anime cliches with a legion of irritating fanboys he might be, but he has a cool character design AND an awesome song.

holy crap, you used an apostrophe to make a word plural at least 3 times in that post. that's like cryptonite to me if I was batman - Bako Ikporamee

This might sound like a stupid question, but why does everyone assume the board as a whole is rabidly Nintendo? For example, when asked what your job is "I'm a high school student" won the board vote, and Board 8 skews older than that.


"Board vote" just means early vote. There are only like 50 votes that come from board 8 regulars in the opening

c'mon night vote

From: EternalxCourage | #398
Hmmm...

Squall (2007c) has a strength of 35.43 against Base Link.
Fox (2007c) has a strength of 23.93 against Base Link.

Squall 66.23% 99,714
Fox 33.77% 50,845
TOTAL VOTES 150,560

Squall wins with 66.23% of the vote!

Yeah, it's not like Fox faced Mario there or something.

Or had a clean match at all in 2007.

This will be the first clean read on Fox since 2002.

Everyone with a score of 11 or less got it wrong.

The top tiers took a hit from this one. The -8s, -9s and -11s actually do quite well and hit 50%. The -10s, -12s and lower don't fare as well with prediction percentage around 30. As you go down a bit, the prediction percentage actually rises to 40 before fading away.

18 people fell off the Top 50. HopefulDeath, Draco1214, Biggoron5, 19001900, articuno2001, Dan_Kirby, Xeybozn, RBZelenka, edgewalker16, DarkFalconX, running_lemon, pezzicle, Alastah98, bsmart08, YoboD, Consolesonlyalt, Jinjo802 and Glucose7 did not have Ryu winning.

12 people got it wrong but survived. Former second place Evil_REmade, Saxophoninator, cyanlce, vash_131, andylt, Jman_gamerX8, nintendogirl1, ToadYoshi, TeamRocketElite, Iamthekuzalol, Sonic_Factor and Chinballz also didn't have Ryu winning.

This might sound like a stupid question, but why does everyone assume the board as a whole is rabidly Nintendo? For example, when asked what your job is "I'm a high school student" won the board vote, and Board 8 skews older than that.

Interesting. I don't remember that poll.

Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world!

I don't know if this is Snake losing his board vote. Proto Man was obviously going to be a board favorite and there was some obvious voting for him because we knew he'd lose anyway (I did it), and Fox will have a strong board vote from being Nintendo/Smash Bros. I don't think the Smash Bros. board vote boost that Snake got has worn off, I just think he's up against characters that will SFF his board vote back to pre-2008 levels. When he gets to Squall we'll see how his board vote holds up.

Nice 1% gain for Snake there.

1. Snake has already gotten more than 57% on Squall on 2006, and has no reason to have dropped since then
2. You're being dumb on purpose. Snake will end with at least 65-66% on Fox when this is over.

15 minute stats!

Solid Snake – 50.00%
Fox McCloud – 36.59%
Protoman – 27.65%
Lloyd Irving – 23.97%

Protoman gets 56.66% on Lloyd and 37.78% on Fox, but this should change a lot before we're done.

"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

Proto Man and Fox's strengths are unclear; it's entirely possible that they have reasonable strength.

I'm still backing Snake > Seph.

At any rate, I'll most likely not trust Dante in a debated match again unless he gets his ass in gear... Really, going from getting Mega Man's percentage on Axel to just dying like this against Ryu is just... All I can say is that I'm just really ****ing agitated.
