That son of a b**** got lucky last round

Vincent got %25 because his pic made him look like a lawyer otherwise he gets 5% and Wrighto gets %50. In other news Mewtwo is definitely cheating judging by those sudden random peaks

Here's what's going to happen in round 3, Mewtwo gets 90% against Sonic and Bowser. After the playtoy gets disqualified for cheating, Wrighto replaces it scoring 65% in round 3


Hey,don't talk like that about our saviour...!
Too bad there will be a Luigi in the way!!
Yeah Luigi>Sephiroth you heard it here first
And no I don't care he is not the favorite over Big Boss,YEAR OF LUIGI WILL PREVAIL

The Boss's improvement is the only thing that makes me very wary on saying Bowser and Sub-Zero are fine. I mean... this is a lot. A lot. How much more? Assuming Drake 2013 gets 55% on Drake 2010 (a very tame postulate), The Boss is worth 49% on Pac-Man in 2010. Going from that to being basically equal with Sub-Zero and worth in the 44% range on Bowser... yeah. That's one heckuva boost.

I feel like there is Red Sox magic that can be worked to get us to Crono > Cloud and I am on your side for it. This contest has been lacking Crono/Vincent comparisons imho

I got home at 12:20, saw the result, and started thinking about whether Vincent could come back against Mewtwo if he replicated what he did against Crono in 2007. Unfortunately, I then realized it was 12:20 Pacific Time, not Eastern Time, so the match had already been going for more than 3 hours and it was absolutely hopeless for Vincent.

I think up until yesterday, Vincent was the strongest character who had never lost to a tetris block or a Pokemon.

I don't think Mario has ever lost to either one?

Nor has Mega Man IIRC, but losing to Cube is probably worse, and his turn is probably coming this contest.

Auron might mess that up this year!

On a more serious note, I'm pretty sure Auron's going to defeat Tifa this year. Even if he happens to be weaker (and my guess is he isn't), Samus/Auron/Tifa just doesn't look like a good setup for Tifa to perform against Auron.

Might even go Auron > Samus if we get Zero Suit...!

He could go with Chrono Cross Crono I guess!

Oh, come to think of it, Super Mario RPG has a really bad night vote, right?

Might explain why Bowser would be even worse at night than normal Nintendo.

Yeah, Mario RPG never got released in Europe.

...Never really considered that it'd have an impact on Bowser's trends though.

Pixelated boxart Crono. Or, of course, this:

Imagine if Crono got his ghost child pic. He might dip low enough to be beaten by Tidus!

Hmm. Using my traditional Mario/Bowser proportion and estimating Subz finishing at 44% in a 24 hour match on Bowser, constant Sub-Zero now has Mario pegged at *exactly* Sephiroth 2010 level.

I don't like that very much, but it's very possible Subz could fail to hit that 44% mark or be stronger compared to 2010. Or the proportion's off. Eh.

It's a strong enough game that it could probably have an effect. Paper Mario's night vote also looks pretty bad to me. I'd expect Bowser's trends to lean at least a bit towards those games'. The Mario RPGs are definitely the reason I like Bowser so much, anyways!

Man, still no real clue about how Seph is gonna look tonight. I could see the percentages practically anywhere.

And I know *this* result of all things should make me feel really confident but I'm getting a weird irrational fear about the Big Boss match. It probably has something to do with the fact that I see a lot of people on the board that seem so confident in Luigi.

...then again, the last time that happened Squall/Luigi went down so yeah iunno
