Big Boss probably wins thanks to Ness. That's how it's always been expected to go. Still think Luigi has a good shot there, though. This should be his best year in a long time.

I still think Subby wins this simply because I can't see the trends favoring Boss. Once Europe goes to bed, this probably reverses.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

so what do we have to do to ensure Luigi > Kirby > Sephiroth in round 3

if we're going to sabotage stuff might as well go all the way

"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

Tweet Nintendo to remind them to vote for Luigi, with Yearofluigi hastags. Naturally those Nintendo votes will go to Kirby as well.

UK really loves itself some MGS3, if it goes to sleep Subby might have this.

I don't care for The Boss (or Sub-Zero, really), loyalty to my expert score it is

Reminder - The Boss is doing this in the middle of the day. Give her a 24 hour match and Sub-Zero loses relatively easily, and she's probably up to like 42-43% on Bowser, possibly even more.

Morrigan + Sephiroth have a funky quote combo, Luigi sounds like a total dork but looks good, Big Boss lookin' smashing. Should be interesting.

So anyone give Spyro a chance against a TJF-less Morrigan?

No.

Spyro's threepack is going to look even more horrendous than it already does after that match is over.

Why Luigi's quote isn't 'I'ma Luigi, number one!' I will not understand!

But the Mario factor on the quote might work!

Especially because Morrigan is looking incredible even without any TJF there. Seriously, unfocus your eyes for a second and then look at the pic. See what they home in on. She's popping out like whoa.

Not that it was a guarantee for Vincent to win even with a normal picture but the picture sabotage means Vincent doesn't even get a fair chance and the top tiers get blasted as a result. The final -9 (84 points) bracket falls. Prediction percentage is largely in the single digits until the -17s (76 points). Prediction percentage actually rises into the 40s for casual brackets before fading away.

14 people fell off the Top 49. Qwaar, Robazoid, SubDeity, Swaghax, th3l3fty, TheKoolAidShoto, The_Ps2_Devil, t_kizzle, wakeuptogashi, ZenOfThunder, Advokaiser, ALAKA, Ambertwo and Amyson did not have Mewtwo winning.

The Boss is doing well. Didn't think she would take the lead against sub Zero.
Bowser still winning ,of course. You would almost forget that.
I wonder how many votes the close match between The Boss and Sub-Zero are costing Bowser.

On one hand, it has jugs. On the other, just look at how much she stands out in the official match pic. I'm honestly not sure which is better.

sub-zero and the boss probably have a lot of SFF going on. I bet either of them could do a good 45% on bowser

Seph's pic is pretty meh while Morrigan and Spyro look pretty good (Morrigan being the more important). Another FF7 underperformance upcoming. (though I think I might have more respect for Morrigan's strength than most, I think she's a few points stronger than Midna, not sure where others have her)

So KH - what trademark implications for other matches can you draw from this The Boss performance here?

I actually don't think this is too shocking. The Boss to me kinda overperformed in r1 and Scorpion looked like a chump. Sub-Zero... may have looked good we don't really know based on Garrus.

I had this match as like a 5% victory for Sub-Zero-- nothing super decisive.

I can't get over how bad Vincent's performance was. Even giving him a 15% handicap for the picture, he still only beats Mewtwo with 52%. Going through PW and giving the same 15%, he gets like 53% on 2k7 Magus.

Yeah, The Boss doing this is certainly not nearly as surprising as, say, Phoenix Wright or Vincent yesterday. Draven is something else.

Well, you don't go from 50/50 with Tails to hanging 41% on Bowser (probably closer to 43-44% in a 24 hour match without boosting. Heck, based on Boss's traditional night strength it's conceivable she could beat Sora in a night match (judging by his percentage on Bowser at night and his underwhelming percentage on Scorpion).

So it's pretty safe to assume Boss has boosted, with the bulk of it being post-2010, seeing as how she put up only like 52% on Drake and he's barely stronger than Pac-Man (and he was *weaker* then). The one character who should mirror strength changes in The Boss more than anyone is Big Boss, as they're inextricably linked - as anyone who saw the Rivalry Rumble should know.

So if this is a real strength change and not just a fluke performance or something, it's very possible Luigi is in for a world of hurt. Solid Snake could also be stronger but at that point I'm more willing to infer just a stronger MGS crew as a whole. Ocelot, The Boss, the whole shebang has been doing dang good.

Because she was significantly weaker then. Going 50/50 with a weak Tails and going 50/50 with Sub-Zero aren't even in the same ballpark.
