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 |

From: TheOneAboveAll | #451 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 learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

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. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #460 This is similar to what happened against Alucard. He had a big spike in the second update, and then...nothin'. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

Sounds like a theory to me! Link's second updates in this match (and the Alucard match, iirc) seem kinda aberrant. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

the way, Link finished 0.28% higher than where he finished at the end

has to deal with overnight. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

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. --- study the past if you would define the future |

MMX will end up looking quite fair after all. He'll collapse later but shouldn't finish much under 32%. An average performance by Link. Nothing to see here, move along! --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

average performance by Link's standard is still more than enough to win

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. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/4/2010 10:36:52 PM | message detail |
If Link ends up closer to 69% or so, then I wouldn't really see a problem with this performance for Link or X. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

LeonhartFour | Posted 3/4/2010 10:44:24 PM | message detail |
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. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
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. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/4/2010 10:56:15 PM | message detail |
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

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. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: creativename | #494 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. --- "Dude, I play WoW.

A
night match overrates MMX relative to Link, but a day match overrates
Red relative to X (...and Ocelot's night match overrates him relative
to Red, but we'll ignore that for the moment). --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
