Jade.

If there is anything notable about this match, its the votals. They are terrible. 600 behind Dracula/Lucina/Caim.

Damn, I was kind of hoping for Big Boss to get his MGS1 artwork this round just to get it out of the way. Even with that he'd still be crushing hard.

I would take VVVVVV over Jade and hope he doesn't get a chameleon pic.

I swear if you could actually see him he'd be scoring a good 3% better here.

There's a character there? I thought we were voting for the Battlefield stage from SSB.

I would LOVE Big Boss > Sephiroth, but let's not get crazy. These guys are among the fodderiest fodder that ever foddered. If Big Boss didn't crush them, I'd be worried about him losing to Luigi next round, despite Ness.

Is that Big Boss pic from the new MGS (not sure where MGS5 is in the series timeline)? I don't really recognize him as Big Boss in that.

I'm high on MGS characters this context and I know Big Boss has never had any chance to compete with Sephiroth. I would take Big Boss > Luigi regardless if Ness makes it there or not.

Yeah, they modeled his face after Keifer Sutherland to perfectly match his facial movements to the voide acting.

Really?

Because Luigi did better on Jade than Big Boss is doing on Viridian. Jade may be weak, but she'd beat these two. Luigi>Big Boss is apparent. How Ness fits into that, not quite sure, but he has to win first.

Lol, we are comparing super weak fodders now? Remember that Dante vs Ryu arguments, "Dante's gonna win because he performs better on Axel than how Ryu did against Balthier"

#331 | BK_Sheikah00 | Posted 7/20/2013 4:06:45 AM | message detail | (edited)
Peacock has cut 44 votes in the last hour. With 5 hours left and a 121 vote lead, Viridian might just need the morning to be kind to him.

This is probably the most hilarious "close match" ever, just because both parties are competing for second with a guy scoring 75% of the vote. With the tiny amount of votes they're getting, it's just hilariously low-stakes, especially since most people don't actually give a s*** about either character outside the Expert Bracket.

This is kind of fascinating to watch, in the same way it would be kind of fun to watch two snails racing. No really, I kind of wish I could stay up to see the finish!

Peacock is stalling again... there's barely still time for comeback if she can get back to taking three-vote cuts every five minutes. But other than a brief dip to 117 off the lead, she's made zero net progress in the past hour (back to 131 votes behind).

Everytime Peacock tries to make a move Viridian stops her.

Vote totals are terrible, but that's what you get when you essentially have 1 character getting you votes.

Big Boss's pic is specifically from this part of the trailer:

There's also an MGSV Ocelot I made that Bacon will probably use because he's been going for things that are new and different.

I dunno, there seeing Luigi blow out Balthier and Jade was pretty entertaining. At least to me.

At least some people care about Balthier and Jade. Who the heck cares much for Peacock or Viridian (this coming from someone who pity-voted for the latter since I recently got VVVVVV from the Steam sale)? Jade could seriously beat both of them.

In hindsight, it probably is just the whole "no one really cares about these characters" that's killing this match for me. Then again, I'd say that blowouts against even somewhat respectable competition automatically avoid being the worst for me due to how rare they are.

People were actually disappointed in Sephiroth's result?

At least this has a fodder fight and an expert challenge upset (though Viridian had his support)

Luigi's match was an easy 1,2,3 and no one massively over/under performed.

Magus will take a dive for the sake of Crono. He'll lose on purpose.

It's totally not because he's a disappointing failure, okay

This might be the worst close match ever, though. I can't even bother getting disappointed about stalling in my Expert Challenge because this match is so emotionless.
