It was not by my hands that I'm once again given flesh. I was called here by humans, who wished to pay me tribute.


Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!

It is 6:44am in California, the most populous US state, which is currently voting 40% falcon.

Have faith. And patience.


If Alucard has much of a lead by the time Cali wakes up there will be not enough time.

Well I guess there's also the fact that the poll starts at 9:00pm in cali...so the majority of its votes are probably in before morning I would guess.

Isn't it summer break there? Kids won't be voting in droves before 9am so it'd be more of the work going Alucard centric audience voting there, you'll start to see the gap in Cali narrowing. Wouldn't worry about it impacting the match when Falcon seems to be losing the morning vote in other parts of the US at this particular time.

I feel better about going against N now that Falcon is collapsing. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Bayonetta collapsed embarrassingly and finished last but with so little data to go on I'm content with the guess that recognition will win out over blind nintendo voting. She could have done without that awful pic however. Grates with me, no reason whatsoever for Bayonetta to have a pic disadvantage.

Why do we not like that pic again? Because it's too much of a full body shot? Because it's her design from the sequel? Because no boobies?

Match XXX: (9) Bayonetta vs. (10) N vs. (19) Wander

Previous Contest

Bayonetta – N/A
N/A

N – N/A
N/A

Wander – 2010
28.87% against Captain Falcon

Analysis

Not too sure why this match is getting so much hype, sure N has a large range, but I see him being closer to the low side of his range. Pokemon may be strong, but that strength is from the early generations, just look at Lucario, one of the major faces of Diamond/Pearl and an appearance in Brawl and he flopped relative to our expectations. N is also a human character which is a problem because people play the series for the Pokemon, not the characters. On a positive note Black/White has been more liked by their fans than the third or fourth generation and N is one of the few characters with actual character, not that it stopped Pokemon from being strong.

Bayonetta while I do not see being a world beater could have some strength. She has been compared with Dante, but I would be surprised to see her that strong. Her game is relatively popular and while she failed to reach the bracket for 2010 she also did not have a game released back then. Now she has her game and a sequel that is also getting some hype.

Wander is another one of those weak characters that can get enough nominations to reach the bracket, but is unable to do anything once in a match. He has had his game re-released to the Playstation 3 so he might be a bit stronger, but it would have to be quite the boost for him to have a chance at winning here.

N can win this match, but I feel it would be due to Bayonetta flopping than him having strength. Sometimes I feel Pokemon fear goes a bit too far and I honestly would not be surprised if N flopped so badly that he lost to Wander. It would have to be quite the flop though.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Bayonetta > N and Wander

charmander6000’s Prediction: Bayonetta – 43.47%, N – 35.79%, Wander – 20.74%

That match has hype because Juliet Starling was probably Bayonetta's best parallel coming into this contest, and she absolutely bombed.

No one thinks N will be strong at all. It's a matter of just how weak Bayonetta will end up being.

Bayonetta is much bigger than Lollipop Chainsaw. Those two characters really shouldn't be compared to each other.
