As much as I would like to say that Kirby has a chance at whupping Sonic, then you get results like Mega Man's 72% against Ryu Hayabusa and...yeah.

Sora still gets over 45% before the end of this match.
Although with the way Alucard looks stronger and stronger with each passing match, I have to wonder if this really is all part of The Plan. And therefore Alucard > Link in 2014.


too early

more like 2035

Richter Belmont for my guru choice aw yeah

Even if you don't win, we really need him in the contest...hopefully he can win in the NRT.

Fun fact: I don't even think Sora has weakened much, if at all. Mario is on a resurgence this year and 3 night matches is tailor-made to make Sora look like crap.

Sora is starting to pull consistent 47% updates in the Power Hour . He'll be winning updates outright very soon after that. So I ask again, can he stage a comeback and how close can he pull before Bowser's morning vote ends this?

In a 24-hour match, it would be a realistic prospect. Unfortunately for Sora he is very much neutered here.

Asia and Oceania combine for like 4% of the total votes, and Sora's percentages there probably won't stay that high. He might get some cuts, but I don't think he'll win any hours, or half-hours.

Maybe the Mario crew just blew chunks in 4ways. I'm not even suggesting that they're weaker in the format, but they had some pretty cruddy circumstances:

Mario - Dealt with Link both years
Luigi - Dealt with Ganon, Pikachu, and a N9-caliber Chief in 2007. Dealt with Bowser in 2008.
Bowser - Dealt with Mewtwo, Toad, and Shadow (Leonhart if you respond to this I'll throw a fit) in 2007. Dealt with Luigi in 2008.
Yoshi - Alright, you got me. This guy rocked it in 2007 and blew chunks in 2008 for lord knows why.

I'd honestly rather believe circumstances (or even the format itself) weakening them the last two years over an apparent boost, because they have had no logical reason to boost. 2009 was Nintendo's weakest year in a while.

I don't really believe in a Reboost this year. Bowser could be excepted, because he had Bowser's Inside Story, but Luigi and Yoshi are probably still at their 2008 levels (below their 2005-7 levels).

Yeah, I wasn't being too serious with it, but good stuff we're seeing. Definitely wasn't believing that Terra was now suddenly stronger than Kefka. Bowser / Squall might be a nice match to see, too, though that doesn't say much about the match with Auron. Woo Bowser.

Luigi doubling Cube says a lot more about the Cube than it does Luigi. I still don't think less than 60% on Amaterasu is a great result for the guy.

Meh. I don't think any of the Mario crew have done anything particularly impressive overall this year.

-Mario: SFF, Old Big Boss, SFF
-Luigi: SFF, OK performance, Good performance, but not anything that a high Midcarder couldn't do
-Yoshi: Looked really good in both of his matches I'll admit, but both had other factors involved in them. But Yoshi's a weird one anyway. Doesn't show signs of Nintendo Boost against Laharl in 2005, and then doesn't fall off with the rest in 2006/2007
-Bowser: Beat Frog as expected, did great on Kefka taking Terra into account, beat a Sora who looked dreadful after Round 2.

Definitely wasn't believing that Terra was now suddenly stronger than Kefka.

Wait and see, my boy!

Actually, in a 24 hour match, the gap between Terra's and Kefka's percentages probably widens because Kefka gains more on Bowser in a night match than Terra gains on Squall.

Cube couldn't hit 54% on a character Tifa tripled a few years back. Cube and L-Block seem a lot weaker in this format, especially against non-hated opponents, and no one should really argue otherwise based on the Sandal match.

Once again, the idea of a Mario character boost in what may be Nintendo's weakest year of the decade is not something I'll buy easily. It makes more sense (for me, anyway) to believe that the 4ways were a bit cruel to them and that it's business as usual now. That, and a Kingdom Hearts decline, because it's not like Bowser's first two matches were incredible.
