Nice try Lenneth. Knew it was a risk putting you 2nd, ah well.

At least I have Rikku.

In the chat the other night, Luster said he would try to make sure ? Block won its match. When asked how he would do that, he said he would vote for it.

Clearly he meant he would vote multiple times for anything in his expert bracket... more reason to remove those votes from Kratos!

This match doesn't spell out good things for Rikku, though. Lenneth is losing to two square looking joke things.

Lenneth literally got quadrupled by Rikku. The fact that these two square things are brutalizing her is pretty bad for them.

Lenneth is weak, considering she's doing so well on WCC is great for Rikku.

Tripled by Rikku, not quadrupled. Big difference. I'm really surprised she can't do this despite all the stand out factor.

Claptrap already ahead

WCC still looking terrible

Time to bail the ? Block train


This is around where I expected Claptrap, but WCC looking terrible can be blamed on Lenneth overperforming.

Claptrap got 35% against Zidane. If you think Zidane is roughly equal to Rikku, then there's really no reason for Lenneth to be in this at all outside of standout factor.

Well, obviously that part about stuffing was a lie. Pretty sure that part about you trying to help ? Block win by casting a single vote for it was true.

Unless I'm thinking of another match?

WCC flopping here hopefully means good things for Rikku. Without the 8-bit ?-block image I think a lot of the block's nostalgia power will be lost. If ?-Block got an SMB 8-bit image though, I think it would have been significantly stronger.

Also I certainly didn't expect Lenneth to contend for 2nd here...these god damn 2nd/3rd place Expert picks are such a humongous pain in the ass.

This may one of the few times I'll consider standout factor since the other two things are an (annoying) robot and an inanimate object while Lenneth actually looks like a character (that people would like)

Why would Portal and Borderlands have any significant LFF?

I mean I guess they probably overlap much more with each other than with an old RPG character, but I don't think they'd have too much overlap in raw terms.

Portal and Borderlands share the same style of humor that the internet apparently loves, and both are some of the most recently popular western games. On GameFAQs, playing western games in itself makes you part of a unique fanbase!

I wouldn't expect them to have major LFF overlap, but they're definitely overlapping more than they are with Lenneth Valkyrie.

Quirky but extremely popular modern FPS games both available on PC/360/PS3 multiplatform?

I think they'd probably LFF each other against anything Japanese.
