Cloud isn't beating Link. Frog isn't beating Alucard. No one else is beating anyone else. The only interesting dudes left are Red/Blue. Ryu/Ken maybe, but let's be honest - they've got less of a chance of making a run than Red/Blue do, even if they're stronger.

Ninaja's could beat team X.

Not sure what's interesting about Pokemon running headfirst towards Mario again. We've already seen that.

Eh, both Trainers or Fighters would kill Samus, and neither have a real shot at Mario (maybe Trainers have like 5%). Also, it's weird to whine about Alucard beating Frog. Frog was the B8 favorite and is now the underdog.

Samus is going to lose regardless, that's not interesting. Pokemon won't beat Mario. If that's your interest in this contest now, well, you're reaching.

I didn't get it either. Just last year Alucard nearly put 60% on Magus. CT gets weaker by the year so no idea why people thought they could make up that ground.

At this point, I think Snakes > Cloud/Seph is more likely than Samus/Ridley beating the Trainers or Fighters. It really is downright shocking how bad Samus/Ridley have looked in this thing.

Extreme underestimation of upset chances (and Alucard winning was the upset pick, yeah). Also, for Red/Blue, what do you mean by making a run? If it's beating Samus, that's more or less expected by now if they can beat Ryu/Ken. If it's beating Mario, then they've got no chance, meaning 10 times less likely than Cloud beating Link in a normal character battle.

There's no KH power hour but Dante functionally has an anti-power hour.

He's got FF7 trends as I said. I still like him to take this though I'm not entirely confident.

I actually don't think Mario is completely out of reach of the trainers. The only Nintendo entity I would give that status to is Link himself.

KH does pretty well in the Power Hour, yeah. Characters who are strong in North America do well in the Power Hour, and KH is very strong here. Sora/Riku will die off later tonight, it's just a question of whether Dante can build a big enough lead to weather the storm come daytime.

This might be the last time Dante is this impressively strong. That stupid DMC reboot will probably be out by the next character contest, and even if it's "not canon" or some crap, I still can't imagine it doing anything good for him. Also, with that game in development, the next "white haired Dante" DMC game could still be a long while away.

Didn't Dante get stronger after DMC2, which was a horrible game? Bad publicity isn't always a bad thing.
