So has Lloyd gotten strong or Big Daddy gotten weaker? Maybe even both because JRPG characters (aside from lolXenoblade) have been looking pretty good this contest. I'm thinking Jade might actually look kind of ok next round just because of this. He should still lose, but I think he'll be closer to the 2nd place character than most people think he will be.

Damn, that's probably it now.


hahahahaha

I'd be stunned if Lloyd held on. Only thing that makes me give him a chance is the fact that this isn't of consequence to brackets, just the Expert.


Yeah, looks like he'll hold on, unfortunately.

If you believe in the Lord FE7 and you accept FE7 as the Savior of video games and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.

Plenty of time. I'm not writing him off completely because he's starting to stall, but this lead is hilariously tiny and we've got 45 minutes to go.

I think it's easier for Lloyd to do respectable with less votals and only having to get 23% to nab second place. The former is why the best performance to ever come from a ToS character is Mithos back in the Villains contest.

I'd take every party member from the game except maybe Colette over Lloyd. He's just too cheesy and dumb.

Big Daddy was so massively overrated last contest that there's really just no way to know how much is Lloyd being stronger than expected or him weakening. Pikachu is still projected to go 50/50 with Link based on his percentage with Big Daddy, by the way.

My instinct is that Pika hurts Lloyd more and I'm inclined to keep siding with it. Big Daddy was just... very, very overrated.

Not overrated, he declined.

Overrated implies he somehow beat Ness randomly.

Was Big Daddy relevant at all to Bioshock Infinite? I would assume not considering the scenery change, and Big Daddy is really only a character that would be popular when relevant to his series.

I'll have to eat a lot of crow if Otacon wins. As far as I was concerned, he's one of the weakest entries MGS could have possibly fielded. I'd have taken picks Grey Fox and Solidus Snake and a few others to be significantly stronger.
