You do realize how bad Fawful would have done if that game had never happened, right?

I'd go a step further and say that Awful wouldn't have even made the contest.

It'd be cool if they made a Bowser game and had Mario as the villian.

Wow, I'm doubting Sora even wins a day match based on this. It's not like Bowser has Alucard trends; he's still better in the second 12 hours.

Hopefully Sora will stop having 1 seeds. He's not worthy. Banjo is more worthy than he is
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/7/2010 10:50:31 PM | message detail
Yeah, Bowser probably wins a 24 hour match or a day match. Sora would be a lot closer, but yeah, he wouldn't win. He was able to cut 1600 votes or so on Squall in round 2 in 2008, but Bowser's day vote is better than Squall's.

Do you guys think Bowser is a near-elite again? Man, I did not see this coming. Really impressive performance by Bowser.

Personally, I'm not yet ready to accept him as a near-elite again. Only getting 55% on Leon Kennedy and 42% on Crono still leaves a bad taste in my mouth...

Bowser has the same percentage in Europe and North America right now.
HaRRicH | Posted 3/7/2010 11:06:30 PM | message detail
Well, Bowser, you pulled the upset. I was so close to the top one-hundred after a terrible start...and since I had Sora > Kratos next round, I can forget about the leaderboard this contest. If Sora can go up another ~2% by the end, he'd probably win a full match and take Bowser down in a day-match. Just imagine if Sora and Kratos had switched seeds...Sora could win the division.


Also, if KH is on the downfall (which I'm not sold on, but it looks plenty possible), does this affect Auron/Squall any? Squall was in at least three KH-games and showed real improvement in 2003 from the original KH-boost, but Auron was also in KH2 and showed an increase in strength from it. They both have KH-pictures too, so that shouldn't matter for this match. If KH's stock has gone down, then presumably Squall's stock goes down a bit more than Auron's unless this is just a KH2-drop...which would be weird. The question becomes whether or not this matters...

...probably not, and it's a non-issue if KH didn't drop much/any. Still, it's a battle of Square-superstars and it should be a close one, so it's worth asking.

Bowser should win a 24 hour match, but Sora likely wins a day match. Sora (Day) has beat Sora (Night) worse than this, and Bowser is day-weighted but not by very much.

There were a few posts earlier regarding Charizard having to face Bowser rather than Sora. Bowser winning should be a good thing for Charizard supporters since Day Bowser is likely weaker than Day Sora. Worst case, Day Bowser is only a slight bit stronger than Day Sora. If Charizard could beat Sora during the day he has just as much a chance to win against Bowser.

Pokemon tend to be pretty good at resisting SFF. It's hard to see Bowser rSFFing Charizard and I really can't see it happening to any significant degree.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is among the most popular Wii games. You're right though, there shouldn't be a huge reason to boost.

It's just impressive to me. Maybe it's the difference between day and night. This is impressive though if you don't consider Day vs Night a huge difference. Think about it, Vincent got 54% on Dante and Vincent is considered the top of the near elites. Wouldn't you take Sora over Dante? I would, even if Ryu's win over Dante proves to be temporary boosting from T vs C and SSFIV. I might take Dante to do even better on Vincent today because of DMC3 SE and DMC4.

If Mario can't SFF Ike much, Bowser won't have any special ability against Charizard.

Hmm, Pikachu was 51/49 with Alucard in 08 with Captain Falcon in the picture. Maybe Ike is just stronger than we thought? Hey, Zidane should be stronger due to Dissidia. I could see Ike's brawl boost being longer lasting than the others due to the fact that he's a lesser known than the others.

Of course Bowser can't rSFF Charizard. That is because Bowser is much stronger to begin with. It's Charizard that had to rSFF
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/7/2010 11:48:44 PM | message detail
Bowser winning should be a good thing for Charizard supporters since Day Bowser is likely weaker than Day Sora.

It's a Sunday match anyway, so the point is somewhat moot.

It's hard to see Charizard rSFFing Bowser is more like it because that's what he'll have to do!

Who will win the morning vote? Man, this match hasn't gone anywhere in awhile. That's weird. Isn't Sora's night vote terrible?

Sora's night vote and Bowser's night vote are probably not too far apart. There wasn't a huge shift in Sora/Midna at all. Mario Party has a better morning vote than Zelda does though, so Bowser should do better.

Yeah, Sora's almost stalled for an hour there. It's probably safe to say he takes the day match, if he can go nearly 50-50 during the night vote

So both Sonic and Bowser get redemption.
