I live in London. Born and Raised. And you can shut it with the "Glory Hunter". I've followed Man United long enough, I'm not a plastic. I stuck by them during success AND their dork age (2004-06).


Oh wow. Three full years of "dork age".

Big man only 200 miles from his club stick with them through thick and thin. One year they even finished 4th in their CL group.

Waking up to see Tidus making a match out of this, excellent! I have Missingno in my bracket, but it doesn't matter. Voted for Banjo though, FFX is fantastic, but Tidus isn't one of my favorites.

And of course, Tidus will take the lead, look like he's winning, and then choke it all away.

We're going to end up not getting Gomis and then Cabs is going to leave on the last day of the window and we won't replace him.

Eh, he went down respectably to Sub-Zero last contest. Maybe a little stronger than he looked then, but it shouldn't be anything radical. Could look better against Squall than he did in 2006 but probably not due to multiway factor.

Pretty sure we do: below top tier midcards like Sub-Zero, above lowly dudes like Duke or Crash.

Also, I think Tidus said it best here: "I'm gonna pull of a comeback!"

Ha, Missingno never has a match that isn't close. Doesn't matter who the opponent is.

It's 8:30 here in New Brunswick, which means it's 7:30 on the US East Coast. I don't think I've seen a match were I was ahead of ET in time zone, so it's a bit disorienting. Well, the morning vote should start with the next hour or 2, and that should favor Missingno. He did beat Yoshi with the ASV by a wide margin.

I'm not sure we actually know what Missingo's actual trends really are. It always seems to play to the level of it's opponents and does juuust enough to win.

Also remember that Missingo got absolutely slaughtered by Seph with the morning vote. Much of that was Missingo's joke trends, and obviously Tidus ain't no Sephiroth - but then Missingo should still have joke trends here too - barring anything suspicious. So far it's trajectory has definitely been jokish.

And count me in with those who are on the fence whether Alucard/Falcon was legit or not. At the time I thought it was just Falcon being a completely fraudulent Power Hour creation, but KH's insistence something was up made me wonder. I'm starting to doubt that now though, I think Alucard's morning vote power was probably just Falcon going back to "normal" strength.

BTW holy crap this topic is moving fast for this time of day!

Falcon is a character that relies heavily upon Smash for a lot of his strength. Smash in general is very weak in Europe and they still have a very strong presence during the morning vote, so it's no surprise that Falcon couldn't get the morning vote. Smash characters are known for having a strong ASV. They don't have a morning vote to speak of.

Would love to see my Giants make the Super Bowl this year, with it being held at Giants stadium. If that happens I wouldn't mind coughing up $2000+ to attend! Would be sooo awesome.

Think we got a shot too, statistically we were much better than our record last year, also Hakeem Nicks is just as good as Cruz (most Giants fans think he's actually better, when he's healthy) and Nicks was dealing with a lot of injuries last year. With a healthy Nicks our offense is top 5 in the league.

I think someone brought this up when Alucard/Falcon went down and I think it bears repeating. 12 hour matches probably see more West Coast influence during the power hour and less during the morning relative to 24 hour matches. You know, because matches end at 9AM and start at 9PM.

I'll be more inclined to go more around with Alucard/Falcon again when we're not in the middle of a close match, but if you go back to their matches together, Falcon noticeably rises with the morning vote, goes down with the during school vote, and then goes wild with the ASV.

These explanations also don't account for Alucard having his best hours in terms of absolute percentage once the sun rose. That's just crazy, it's *never* happened with him before.
