But it's true! Silent protagonists are pretty much automatically good characters just by being silent protagonists. Let's take this opportunity to plug the idea that if Cloud were a silent protagonist, he would be the 5-time champion of these contest.

OH YEAH!
Gooper Blooper | Posted 3/11/2010 9:37:43 AM | message detail
Of course! Didn't you know that a character's depth is inversely proportional to the number of lines they have? That's why Link is such a wonderful literary character- because he has no visible lines at all, the player must infer all of them from context!

You would say that, wouldn't you >______>

But of course this also means Missingno is incredibly deep and beautiful. His struggles to survive in a world he can barely exist in restricted entirely to one coast of one small island, and his desperation to make friends by abusing his dimensional warping to give them free goodies - it's truly heart-breaking.

He just wanted... a friend.

red sox you're preaching to the choir. I'm a Gordon Freeman fanboy, and he's more silent than any other character in this contest!

Oh look, the Crono fanboy defending silent protagonists, who would have thought :p


I'm pretty sure this was sarcasm. Because if it were true then Crono > Magus/Frog, and that is clearly not the case.

Although it would explain why Pokemon is doing so well.

red sox 777 | Posted 3/11/2010 9:40:18 AM | message detail
Only partially sarcasm. I do think Crono and Link are both great characters. Not really "literary," but great nonetheless. And without these contests, Crono > Magus > Lucca > Robo > Frog > Marle = Ayla. With these contests, Frog moves into 2nd place.

You know, regardless of who wins, I'm just glad we got a matchup of near elites that seems to be living up to the hype. If only the winner was facing Crono or Sonic next round instead of Snake.

If the ASV is going to favor Auron here, then Squall's trying his best to build up a lead before it arrives.

And yeah, I probably deserve to lose a sig-bet for trying to get mega-fodder in a contest. Shouldn't happen again guys!

Squall is gaining pretty quickly in America now. Unless Auron makes a decisive swing in the ASV this is pretty much over.
Gooper Blooper | Posted 3/11/2010 9:55:00 AM | message detail
I have nothing against megafodder personally. The top entrants always have a bye first round anyway - might as well give them a comedy option to smash into the ground. It's why I want Link/Tingle and Cloud/Cait Sith to happen.

Auron really needs to stall for the next hour and get a good ASV for this to pass Frog/Liquid.
What's the number to beat? 471?

I'll wait to see how Squall performs in the early ASV before I even call him a decisive favorite. Auron is still very much in this.

HaRRicH | Posted 3/11/2010 10:02:58 AM | message detail
Squall ends the hour strong.

Auron's still got NA -- specifically the US -- in his pocket for now though, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do with the ASV. It's still close, but I gotta favor Squall right now; he's got more of a KH-influence regardless of the current US-numbers and SFF-matches shouldn't swing much anyway. Still, here's to hoping Auron can make this more interesting.

Did I miss an update or did Squall increase his lead from 201 to 266 in one update? If so, Auron can't survive too many of those.

Squall rollin' now. If he can get up to around 700 votes or so by the time we hit the ASV, I'll feel pretty good about his chances, regardless of what happens. If he can make it to 1000, forget it.

It's crazy how badly Squall is dominating the other four continents. Europe is the closest at 55/45, and the other three aren't far from doublings.
