I saw the picture where you check the results of the poll with all the weapons.Nice.I guess the sword in the middle is the one that Link uses?

I think the fighters are being overestimated. I'd consider mid-60s a very good performance (and also what they'd need to not look like the underdogs going into next round).

Yeah I'd say below 65% will probably give the match to the Trainers, 65-70 will make the match a close fight with a solid chance for either team, and 70+ will mean dominance for the SF duo.

I wonder why you all say the same.The Trainers match was Nintendo only meaning that the most popular Nintendo character steals the votes from the weaker.Also it had Charizard in the picture!The Fighters match isn't only Nintendo so they will not do so well.Plus I am sure that Fox has some strength.Plus he is Nintendo!

Dunno if it's been brought up (you expect me to READ), but the Trainers are also outdrawing the Mario/Ike match by almost 2000 votes right now, and both matches are pure Nintendo. Trainers are just ****ing beasts. After this, are any of the perfect battlers out there still willing to risk it on Ryu/Ken?


Careful there. Mario/Ike was on a weekend, so the vote totals would normally be better at the 12 hour mark than if the match was on a weekday. If you want a better comparison, just use yesterday's match instead. Right now, today's match is at 45264 votes, while yesterday's DK match had 40482 votes at the same time. So it's already about 4800 votes ahead of yesterday.

The trainers also outdrew 6/16 day matches


Going by pure vote totals, that would be the case here. Although the Trainers would have been projected to get 44014 votes in a day match, beating out all the other day matches too.

When Link faced Luigi he only managed 72%. Obviously Waluigi drags down Luigi but as a pairing they're still around the Knuckles 1v1 equivalent unless you want to argue that Cecil/Golbez is way weaker than Cecil alone. When you SFF something of that level of strength down to 23% that shows you're worth a ton. Ryu/Ken putting around 65% on Fox will put them in the elite-tier, which is where this match is making Red/Blue look in.

At least he kept the Squall/Seifer banner. Looks like he just kept banners from the 1 seed pairings, although he didn't keep all of them.

-Really worried the RE duo can win that match, melty MGS art is worse than sprites.

-Very sweet FF9 pic, I made the Mega Man but I really like the other one I did: http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/661/megawilyr2.png

Surprised my weapon banner was picked. Clockwise from top-left: Buster Sword, Ragnell, Blades of Chaos, Patriot, Excalibur FF12 version, Alastor, Gunblade, Caladbolg, Jecht's sword whatever it's called, Infinite Rocket Launcher, Ridley's tail LOL, and Galaxia.

Bacon freaking will not ever use a picture with FemShep in it, holy hell. Really glad my thing finally got used, though it's a round too late.

Chris/Wesker would actually need to be relatively close to the Bosses to have to worry about this.

But it's definitely not worse than sprites.

Match XXXVIII: (3) Ryu/Ken vs. (2) Fox McCloud/Wolf O’Donnell

Previous Round

Ryu/Ken – 81.63%
Ratchet/Dr. Nefarious – 18.37%

Fox McCloud/Wolf O’Donnell – 60.92%
Yuna/Seymour Guado – 39.08%

Analysis

Ryu and Ken needed a statement match to show that they can make it out of the division and they sure got it. While blowing out weak characters is decent looking strong against decent characters would be even better. While Red and Blue are scoring major SFF points which suggests that they have decent strength which is nothing new after round 1. I feel all Ryu and Ken need to do is meet our expectations.

Fox and Wolf had no problems taking down Yuna and Seymour, but at the same time I would argue the weakness of the rivalry over the strength of Fox and Wolf. I’m not sure why, but I’ve been comparing Fox and Wolf with Donkey Kong and King K. Rool, maybe it’s because of their paths; weak rivalry in the first round, strong fighting rivalry in the second. There are also people that feel Donkey Kong and Fox would have a close match if we ignore the possibility of SFF and that Rool and Wolf are probably not too different in strength; however Wolf does have Brawl on his side. The main difference would be Donkey Kong and King K. Rool would probably have more nostalgic memories than Fox and Wolf.

Overall I feel that anywhere in the mid-60s would place Ryu and Ken in a good position for an interesting match next round. A doubling is quite possible, though breaking 70% would be asking a little too much for them. Either way unless we get a flop we’ll be getting an interesting match, something that this contest needs desperately.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Ryu/Ken > Fox McCloud/Wolf O’Donnell

charmander6000’s Prediction: Ryu/Ken wins, 66.26% - 33.74%

We should see some fun percentage swings on this one. Ryu/Ken should dominate this thing once we get out of the Power Hour, and then Star Fox should rock the ASV.

Oh wait, it's Thanksgiving! No ASV!
