Yoshi's pretty done. He's struggling with the lead against Raiden in the Power Hour. The night is not going to be kind to him.

Raiden you stink. I still think he'll be fine... he should be the only one of these to really benefit from the night vote.

Gosh watching Link's lead rise almost 300 votes in 5 minutes is pretty boggling.

Yeah, this is pretty much "weak Link" doing this. I was honestly expecting him to disappoint here due to WW pic plus RETURN OF THE QUOTE CONTEST FACTOR... can't imagine that would be do much for Link.

I don't see Yoshi keeping this up, not if this is the best he can do during the early vote.

Link is going to smash though. Yoshi's definitely getting distorted SFF and Raiden is weak enough to be losing to it at the moment.

Link is totally underperforming, he broke 80% on Yoshi once.

Speaking of quotes, I think Shepard got kinda lucky that Bacon didn't use "This guy are sick" for Aerith's quote. I could see that artificially boosting her because it's one of the most memorable mistranslations of all time.

What kind of lead does Yoshi need in the power hour to have a good shot at keeping it through the night?
Also, following matches on the west coast kind of sucks. I do not like 9am/9pm start/end times.

...Wait, Yoshi was winning at first and he's already below Raiden? God, Yoshi, that's awful. I know Link is brutal at handing out SFF beatdowns, but you're making me look bad here! I took you to win that match you would've had against Crono if Missingno hadn't gotten in the way; it would've been a glorious upset.

Losing to fodder--high-end, high-pedigree fodder, but fodder nonetheless--just because Link's there. I overestimated you.

I don't think any kind of lead Yoshi can realistically obtain is going to save him from the night vote. He's already lost his lead.

Snake would outperform Link in this match for sure.

Because we've seen already just how quickly Raiden will fold to Snake.

I took you to win that match you would've had against Crono if Missingno hadn't gotten in the way; it would've been a glorious upset.

I did this too. I still don't regret it, and maintain that it would have happened, and would happen if held tomorrow (day match only).

Also, I'm not giving up on Yoshi yet because this is Yoshi and he is symbolic of everything that is right with video games and I will fight to the end.

Removing my favoritism from the equation, he's done for.

Also, what are we thinking about Raiden here? He's pretty close to what Alucard was scoring on Link and may be able to hold it if he can stop him from exploding. There's a Yoshi in the way, yes, but I dunno.

#232 | KamikazePotato | Posted 8/18/2013 9:20:11 PM | message detail
Raiden probably ends up at about what Alucard got on Link, which when taking into account Yoshi hurting Link a little...sounds about right.

#237 | TsunamiXXVIII | Posted 8/18/2013 9:22:38 PM | message detail
...That might be exaggerating a bit. "This guy are sick" is nice and all, but it's possibly not even the best mistranslation in that game. ("Attack when its tail is up!")

...FFVII in general, though. So many classic lines. All of the old ones, actually; FFVII really is more "Old Square" than "New Square".

Raiden easily lost to Master Chief in 2008, not sure how much LFF is at work, but it's safe to say he got a boost from Metal Gear Rising

Raiden pretty much has this in the bag if Yoshi can't do anything at this point in the match.

Yoshi is looking like he might end up with around 19% here if he doesn't reverse forward direction. That would pretty much confirm he's lost a step - he might end up a good 3% under what Luigi got here vs. Link. Not the best showing.

What we have to watch for now is to see if he falls below Waluigi's percentage on Raiden

Why would Yoshi be an exception when he got one of the worst non-Zelda SFF beatings Link's ever handed out?
