These consistent 4-vote cuts is Protoman mocking us for thinking a full comeback was even possible. And mocking us because "consistent cuts" make Turtle look... well, better.

Point Total: 31/32. Guru Status: Alive
My Bracket Says: Night: Epona Day: Altair
#404 | charmander6000 | Posted 7/24/2013 8:29:39 PM | message detail
Re: Altair tomorrow. I'm consider going with the upset too. Something's off with that guy. He 60/40's Liquid in 2010 then comes back with a 25-seed? I think his problem is two-fold - firstly that Ezio is the "AC guy" now, through and through, cooler and newer, and secondly his series just isn't the hot stuff it was back in 2010 - bit of sequelitis going on there. Ratchet has always looked (to me) decidedly stronger than Crash and Jak, and they both did fine. Ratchet's 44% on Jecht puts him at something in the high 40s on Phoenix Wright in 2010. If this was Phoenix/Altair/Shulk, I think a lot of people would be calling for the upset...

Don't put too much weight on his seed, Ezio may be the top AC guy, but people remember him (just not to nominate him)

Woo just over 12 hours until we can see another Xenoblade character look like a complete joke. Shulk might at least get enough votes to where the 3 combined have as many or more votes than Chie, but it would be hilarious if he didn't.

#408 | JJH777 | Posted 7/24/2013 8:31:06 PM | message detail
There is 0 doubt in my mind that Shulk is going to be weaker than Dunban unfortunately. I hate how badly the Xenoblade characters have failed.

Dunban has like a 1% chance of being stronger than Shulk. There's, one game total where the 'fan favorite' was stronger than the main character (it's Auron).

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
#417 | TheOneAboveAll | Posted 7/24/2013 8:34:10 PM | message detail
That cut probably came too little too late. Protoman still needs 28 votes per update to do this. I can't see it happening.

Nah, he's been hovering a little under 200 votes behind for too long. He's sunk at this point.
#420 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 7/24/2013 8:35:10 PM | message detail
How likely it is that Mordin will finish ahead of Niko for 2nd place tonight? If Niko still has the same strength he had in 2008, he shouldn't have any trouble getting 2nd place. Picking Mordin for 2nd place is risky since he should be weaker than Garrus, which may or may not be enough to end up being weaker than Niko. Obviously Niko's game is 5 years old now, but it's still more recent than Vercetti's game.

I ask this because of the Expert Challenge.

I've been debating this tonight. I have Mordin > Niko now, but the more I think about it, the less confident I feel. I couldn't tell you.

Doesn't make your statement correct, as that if isn't reality <_<.

Pokemon is another example as Pikachu is clearly the mascot.

Yeah, they're doing pretty badly. Reyn = 3,332 and Dunban = 3,233 to Chie's 10,465 votes. What's hilarious Dunban just barely has less votes than Reyn and he had 2 JRPG characters in the same match with one being from another Xeno game while Reyn was against Clementine and Spyro and not at any real disadvantage.

Wow that was kind of loaded with typos.

Okay if you're using Pokemon as an example you're just trying to nitpick. Pokemon is a completely different beast than everything else.

Charizard is the main character of Pokemon to me, anyway.
