The reason it was so special also is because Greivis is an amazing guy and everyone on campus who knows him loves him. The atmosphere was amazing and storming the court was awesome.

Hochi the Clairvoyant, what chance does Sora have against Bowser?

Not good. Sora barely doubled Laharl. Assuming you don't get yourself eliminated by Sora and Snake beats Sephiroth, it will be you and I fighting each other in the finals. I have Snake > Seph and Cloud > Link

I've gotten to watch him a lot in his four years there. Amazing player, and you could tell in the post game interview how much it meant to him. I know Maryland is conditioned to hate Duke but I don't really reciprocate it that much. Gary Williams is classy, and as I said GV's a total baller. I hope we can meet you guys in the ACC Tournament final to settle the rubber match. =)

I'm trying to figure out how I can get on the leaderboard now, considering I'm getting 0 for L-Block/Kratos. Thinking Zard winning there helps me, but who knows. At 108 right now, need Sora, Ryu, and Squall and then maybe I'll have a chance to get to the leaderboard. Maybe if I perfect this division (where I can), then Kirby > Sonic could help me.

This is similar to what happened against Alucard. He had a big spike in the second update, and then...nothin'.

Sounds like a theory to me! Link's second updates in this match (and the Alucard match, iirc) seem kinda aberrant.

By the way, Link finished 0.28% higher than where he finished at the end of the board vote against Alucard. I doubt Link approaches last round's numbers, really.

Link should manage to get over 68% by the end of the match, I think. That morning vote will be great to him, and I doubt he just collapses tonight, though admittedly I haven't followed the trends this contest at all. He should be fine, though.

Hochi the Clairvoyant, what chance does Sora have against Bowser?

Not good. Sora barely doubled Laharl. Assuming you don't get yourself eliminated by Sora and Snake beats Sephiroth, it will be you and I fighting each other in the finals. I have Snake > Seph and Cloud > Link


You're actually gonna need Kirby to beat Sonic/Ganon as well. Zylo is doing really well with his Cloud bracket.

MMX will end up looking quite fair after all. He'll collapse later but shouldn't finish much under 32%.

Yes indeed - over and over again Mega Man does have those 4 hours after midnight where he does great. Then dies, kersplat.

I think I'm going to try and dub this the Mega Man "4PH"!

creativename | Posted 3/4/2010 10:35:56 PM | message detail
Link won't have the day to work with so that'll overrate MMX a bit. Link historically tends to rise a lot the second 12 hours of a match. And despite their weakness overnight, the Mega Man crew actually tends to fade slightly in the second 12 hours, although they're more 12-hour neutral than Link.

It's still unclear whether this year's Link might be weaker than previous incarnations, due to Link-always-wins backlash. It's possible but not definite.

Fine performance for MMX so far though.

I wouldn't say that...I'd say this is more legitimate strength for X. What happened to Mega Man was SFF. I don't think Red or Ocelot get anywhere near Zack or Cid. In fact, I'd say Zack could probably have a pretty fair match with X. I imagine it's probably a Snake/Big Boss type relationship there, despite basically being Mega Man with an X.

Karma Hunter | Posted 3/4/2010 10:45:46 PM | message detail
Link can SFF Mega Man but not X... so X ends up looking stronger against Link despite being significantly weaker?

I mean, I can *sort* of buy it, but it's a tenuous needle to thread.

And even if there's no SFF, the numbers that MMX will put up here will make Red and Ocelot seem pretty strong! I kinda feel bad for laughing at X but well no I don't not really

Link probably wouldn't SFF Mega Man as bad if they had a match today. Perhaps not at all. This might not be the same Link.

Also, again, night match. Overrates MMX.

And Mega Man being more SFFable by Link than MMX was expected by many, since MMX was mainly not on Nintendo consoles.

MMX's most famous and relevant game, the original, is on the SNES. X4 is probably the second most popular, but that's mainly due to playable Zero for the first time. Also it's hard to even know where X *is*, since all his losses are by Nintendo's hands. I still think he has the potential to beat Mega Man, but I'm a minority in that.
