Worked out well tbqh.

Yes I know Dracula and Hades are fictional characters, but the rule change applies the same.

Sephiroth will probably have as big of a jump as Sora depending on your respect for Morrigan and Spyro.

Mabye...I actually think Morrigan is decently strong, and Spyro should be stronger than Little Mac. I don't think Seph will jump much.

Sora should increase more is my guess.

I love the way Groose is stroking his pompadour in the results page. He knows he's got this.


You're an idiot.

Insults are unnecessary friend. Someone report this behavior!!

Just realized Bacon has Lu Bu's debut as Dynasty Warriors, but he was in the old Romance of the Three Kingdoms games before that.

Wait, how did a historical figure get entered in the contest?


The Dynasty Warriors games are based off of the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". That book takes the historical figures but basically changes what happens and turns them into fictional characters

Man, this match is gonna wreck the Guru even further. Still only at -1 compared to the top of the leaderboard, but now a lot of people are in that same zone. And the next match is Lee vs. Game and Watch...ugh, this is gonna get ugly as all get out.

What, you tellin' me Lu Bu didn't really have demonic powers that allowed him to be the most feared warrior in the Three Kingdoms?

everything I know is a lie *runs off crying*

DW's got some popularity. not a ton, but it's not a no-name series.
granted, part of this is because it's lu bu. if it was anyone else they'd be lucky to break 20% with the sole exception of Zhao Yun. even then, i'd doubt he'd break 25.

A Zelda character is losing during the Power Hour to Lu Bu.

Literally Lu Bu.

We are actually witnessing this people. Amazing.


Seriously. This match.


This division has definitely not disappointed.

In fact it's somehow surpassing the incredible hype it had going in.

Missile>Kerrigan was the just the beginning.

If anything I would expect Yoshimitsu to take off more after the power hour.

He doesn't strike me as the type that would have fervent fans rushing to vote for him

We've literally never seen anything related to Dynasty Warriors in any contest, so I'm not sure if Lu Bu will have a better night vote than Yoshimitsu.

You just KNOW now that Lee/G&W is somehow gonna be upended by Meat Boy coming through at this point. Those superior platforming skills are gonna allow him to get ahead!

And we still have the massive Crono/Pikachu match.

And then the (Crono/Pikachu) vs. Sora vs. (god knows who) division final.

And who wins the division may change the results of the Cloud/Snake match.

Which could decide the contest winner.

Lost to Dan Hibiki, who got crushed by Sonic

Heck, no way Yoshimitsu beats Nightmare and he was almost 70/30 by Phoenix Wright.

Bacon has already said no to Civ

But then do any George Washington (Civ) noms get thrown away or combined with GW (Assassin's Creed)?

Or does he exclude GW (AC) as well? Which wouldn't really be consistent with allowing Lu Bu in the first place.

Was there actually competition for that? Even if you think Crono/Pikachu doesn't change based on Magus's presence I'd think it still gets it on the possibility that it could! The ripple-effect of that match always had the potential to be incredible!
