Not too impressed with Dracula, almost positive he is weaker than Alucard which gives Caim hope for being worse than Tanner, assuming he does not go up by much during the night.

Yeah, 60/40 on Lucina probably isn't that great.

Dracula is going to ravage Lucina during the night.

And someone needs to write that fanfic.

Dracula is probably a respectable midcarder, or perhaps right around that "Boss Fodder Line," which is not bad at all for a 2013 newcomer. If anything, the STUPID variance of impossible-to-predict fodder we've already seen this week (Yuri gets 80% on Caim or whatever) makes characters like Dracula a breath of fresh air.

Dracula currently has 61.05% on Lucina. I feel very positive that Lucina is stronger than Tharja. Tharja should be doing worse than this against Dracula.

Change Dracula's name to something random.

Lucina should definitely be a fair bit stronger than Tharja.

Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place
Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place

I loaded the poll on my mobile and I got worried about the match when I saw Fire Emblem girl's percentage.

Then I scrolled down and saw the reason for that big percentage is because of the black hole of suck that is Caim.

12:00 | 64.26% | 21.97% | 13.77% | 1648

This one goes pretty much as expected. Sonic is strong during the day, Fei is strong at night, and Dan is bad, no matter what time it is.

At the end of the first hour, we're already about 700 votes behind yesterday's MMX match, so today's match will be even lower than the MMX match.

Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?
However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog

So I have a question about Castlevania continuity.

CASTLEVANIA SPOILERS
.
.

So I just read that Gabriel Belmont unknowningly killed his wife. However, everything about Castlevania I'd read before said that Dracula hated humans because they killed his wife. What's with that? Is that a retcon?

You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun.

So assuming Link 70/30s Sonic in the semifinals (if Sonic even makes it there), what does Sonic need to get on Dracula next round to push Caim below Tanner?

Okay. Making an Excel spreadsheet for that shouldn't be too hard but there used to be a website that generated it automatically. Does that website still exist? This was a few years ago when the last big contest went down in 2010 I think.

Oh, if you're looking for the updater that keeps track of 5 minute updates, then yeah, use the link TRE provided.

Also that was almost a 10% update for Caim. That would've been a tragedy.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Caim just got 9.9%. I cry foul.

Clearly proxy vote stuffers must be involved.

I doubt Caim will be any worse than Welkin and he got around 10% on a guy stronger than Dracula.

You say that...

IX: Link/VV/BB/SS/Cloud/Sora/Samus/Mario/Zard

Barret has to really impress for me to take him. Layton and Touhou character I would think to be a lot weaker than Lucina and f***ing Caim. Even with how abysmal Caim is being here.

I just realized that if current gaming trends continue, MARIO will be the strongest Noble Niner. Because if you had to order them based on current relevance:

Mario
Sonic
Link
*gap*
Samus
Snake
Cloud
*gap*
Sephiroth
Mega Man
Crono

Not really sure on this though.

Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC

Link might be getting weaker,true (though he is still the strongest)
We will need to wait for LttP2...if it can undone the damage the previous handheld games did

It would take many, many years for Mario to catch up to Link

Phoenix>Phoenix>Nightmare
Most efficient pick?

P>M>N: +2
M>P>N: 0
M>N>P: -6
N>M>P: -6
P>N>M: 0
N>P>M: -2

You only get points (and even then only 2) if it goes Phoenix > Marth > Nightmare, and you risk losing points if Nick gets last or Nightmare wins. If you guess Phoenix > Marth > Nightmare:

P>M>N: +6
M>P>N: -4
M>N>P: -6
N>M>P: -2
P>N>M: 0
N>P>M: -6

In both cases you have a random expected payoff of -2 points, or, if you think Nightmare is guaranteed last, +2. Since you're not on the leaderboard, you need to not play it safe if you want to win.

Lucina looking pretty good here, makes me feel good about taking Chrom, but Dracula, DAMN. He lived up to the hype. And Caim is just pathetic. I still think I'd have him over Tanner though.

I like how this Tanner dude is getting ripped on by all of us.

Looking him up...not only is he the main character of an entire series, but his first name is John and his series recently got revived with Driver: San Francisco. I say we get him into our next 243-character contest!

Thanks to the night vote, Caim looks slightly better now against Dracula. Caim has over 10% in several different European countries. The worst update for Caim was 3 votes, but a 0 vote update might have been possible if he didn't have a good Europe vote.
