Just wait until Sonic gets +50 votes, then he can go Super Sonic and SFIV will never catch up --- _foolmo_ 'I mean, what does electricity have to do with math besides calculators?' - ZeldaFreak29 |

Legend
of Dragoon isn't exactly a pushover IMO, so I think Uncharted 2 will be
ok. It'll be close, but I think it can beat the winner of this match. --- Yo Where All The White Women At |

Given I expected Sonic to win fairly convincingly, I have to give it to Uncharted 2. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

We
really have no idea what the strength of any of the games in this
fourpack are, so SFIV's got a shot. I still give UC2 favorite status,
but keep in mind this isn't "lock" status! --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

And here comes the california ASV, pushing the US vote back in favor of SF4. |

Batman vs. TF2 consideration TF2 got 30800 votes, Batman got only 28800 Sure, it was a night battle compared to a day battle, but it wouldn't be ludicrous for the Batman vs. TF2 match to get those same votals --- _foolmo_ 'I mean, what does electricity have to do with math besides calculators?' - ZeldaFreak29 |

From: VeryInsane | #004 I think it'll beat SF4 easily and might lose to Sunshine if it makes it that far, however if any of the Halos make it out, UC2 will win. --- Menji - Sign My Petition for "Search By Username" http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/55168396 |

I
like SFIV's chances against UC2 after how yesterday's match went. I
don't think it should be a favorite to win, but I think it'll do a lot
better than LOD did. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

I
will say that if it does beat UC2, I wouldn't expect it to go any
further since there will be a Halo in the way. That's a little too
steep a climb for SFIV to manage, but round 3 would be a victory on its
own after that 2009 contest. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

I
dunno what you guys are talking about, MM9 has EPIC box-art. Its like
95% of the reason i took it to beat demon's souls (i had demon's souls
at first but then I looked up MM9's box-art and havent looked back
since) I mean, if MM9 had its box-art for every match pic I probably would have taken it all the way to the quarter finals (Super smash over MM9 box-art would be hard but this is still Super smash's contest to lose) --- Name: Flex FC: 4510 7199 0698 |
HaRRicH | Posted 10/22/2010 3:05:04 PM | message detail |
I
couldn't decide if MM9's box-art was gonna help or hurt it for
awhile...but ultimately, if MM2/3 did as bad as they did with sprites,
MM9's not gonna gain any nostalgia like that with new ugly box-art. I
doubt the classics could have benefited with old ugly box-art
nostalgia... ...which, really, sounds as bad of a factor as you can count on anyway. MM9's not looking good. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg EPONA EPONA EPONA |

Unless you're just an old school Mega Man fan, that box art is hideous. Remember the uproar over Mega Man's round 1 match pic back in 2002 with MM1 box art? --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

ZFS | Posted 10/22/2010 3:09:21 PM | message detail |
That
boxart was an intentional jab at how awful all the older ones were. I
remember most people seeing this when they first showed it off, really
doubt it's a detriment to the game's popularity. --- The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. |

"Oh, cool. He already missed a match, huh? I wonder which one. Probably RB2/DX." He's got 0 banked points and 600 at risk points for this match, so yeah, that's the one he dropped.

So, after floating around 700 votes for the past 4 hours, does anybody still believe SA2 can come back? |

The
lead's currently the lowest it's been for almost 3 hours. That should
be a "this match is heating up!" feeling, but I'm thinking this one
might be too far gone to matter... I sincerely hope that when I wake up
tomorrow I'll find out I was wrong, though! --- James - Board 8's Resident Warm And Safe, Slipper-Wearing User & The Cream of Porcupine Tree Fanboyism |
Eeeevil Overlord | Posted 10/22/2010 4:13:56 PM | message detail |

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/22/2010 4:14:19 PM | message detail |
This
is going to be one of those matches that looks closer on paper than it
really was. Lead never gets past 1000, SA2 finishes with over 49%, but
there's never been a serious comeback charge or anything like that. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Eeeevil Overlord | Posted 10/22/2010 4:18:06 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
for almost 5 hours now SFIV's lead has been between 690 and 800. Guess
it's too much to hope for an exciting conclusion here. --- James - Board 8's Resident Warm And Safe, Slipper-Wearing User & The Cream of Porcupine Tree Fanboyism |

it's kinda crazy how our three day matches have been 51-49, 50-50 and 51-49. pretty good bracketmaking! --- xyzzy |
xp1337 | Posted 10/22/2010 4:19:24 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
unless SA2 wins the night vote, and I can't see why it would, and
unless it starts moving now, I can't see how it has any shot. It needs to average like 12.7 votes per update from here, and I think even that is probably too steep. Even in the event it somehow won the night vote, I can't imagine it wins it by enough that it meets even that number. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (4/5) SA2 v SFIV |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/22/2010 4:20:41 PM | message detail |
Well,
Bacon basically took the most exciting parts of both contests (the
modern game divisions) and made an entire contest out of it! How could
it go wrong? --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Ankleslam101 | Posted 10/22/2010 4:20:59 PM | message detail |
I
am actually pleased I pick SFIV against SA2 now.... However, there is
no way in hell is it standing a chance with Uncharted 2. "Whoops." --- For the McNagah Clan! |
transients | Posted 10/22/2010 4:21:51 PM | message detail |
there's
only one bad thing about this: I can't get it out of my head that we've
been Square-less and Nintendo-less this entire time, and that those two
companies would make all of these games sans Fallout 3 look bad. it's
just an unpleasant reminder that the only reason this has been good is
because we've had to handicap ourselves so much. oh well, let's hope Sunshine bombs --- xyzzy |

From: transients | #097 Well, I kinda wish Bacon hadn't come up with this "Hey let's put some SFF matches together to promote diversity in later rounds," and so we get these first two divisions with very little Nintendo or Square in them. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |
