I know that Charizard's not very likely to flop, but I can't help but wonder... With the fact that Kratos bombed, and bombed hard, that 55% Charizard got on him is looking a lot less impressive.

So are his matches against Mario and Bowser. It seems everyone Charizard faced in 2010 has been struggling.

I wonder if Mario will get a stronger wave of voters since his loss was one of the most unexpected things in the tournament.

I bet Crono fails to beat him even with Megaman X there!

True. Charizard's got a lot to prove, and he didn't exactly prove much of anything in round one...

If Charizard lost to Zelda, that would be totally wacked. Squirtle beat Dante handily, and Charizard has to be stronger than Squirtle. There's no hope for Zelda.

it's as simple as this. this is why I'm not even a little worried about the Zard. if 2010's run never happened at all and this was the Zard's first contest appearance and all we had to go on was his round 1 and Squirtle's 2 rounds and our personal knowledge that Charizard was probably stronger than Squirtle...he'd still be the favorite here.

he doesn't need any of his bandwagon matches to be worthwhile.

Unlike the round 1 bonus match, this upcoming bonus match will have much better vote totals. We should hopefully break 30000 votes on the second bonus match.

Too bad it's only a 12-hour bonus match, not to mention it's a day match. This bonus match would be more exciting if it took place at night. Crono might have a chance at taking the lead at night before dying in the TDZ.

Honestly, this is probably the most hyped I've been for a match since at least GotD. Well, maybe Crono/Pikachu just because I had weeks to get hyped for it, but that's not entirely fair!

Well, Crono isn't beating Mario under normal circumstances anyway. He's just gotta hope MMX leeches Mario enough for him to win.

...Of course, if Mario loses, that's what we're going to blame it on regardless, but what if he's just that weak now?

Ugh. Needs to be a 24-hour match at least. Crono has no chance in a day match :(

Predicting the Rest of the Contest
a contest post by Yoblazer

Charizard > Zelda > DK
After all we've seen, there is nothing else to expect from such a match. The big Pokemon (Char/Squirt/Blast/Pika/Mewtwo) may be above Ganon/Zelda and the Mario B-Tier on the SFF ladder. Kinda crazy.



Draven > Link > Shepard
Link's hope rest not in his own rallies, but in somehow stopping Draven's. It's just hard to see that happening no matter what plans Board 8 cooks up, and I expect a blowout by the eventual champ because of it.

Mewtwo > Sonic > Bowser
I'm pretty clueless about this one, so why the f*** not. Not like it really matters in the next round.

Kirby > Sephiroth > Big Boss
I was called crazy. Now I'm just a dude supporting a very viable underdog.

Solid Snake > Kefka > GlaDOS
Snake flexes his muscles yet again. Guess what: he's f***ed next round.

Squirtle > Cloud Strife > Leon Kennedy
And Cloud is f***ed this round.

Sora > Pikachu > Blue
No amount of PokeFear can change this result. Sora dances to the tune of the most fortuitous bracket setup any one entrant has seen in some time.

Samus Aran > L-Block > Tifa
Like Sonic vs. Mewtwo, this is one of the few I'm least sure about (yes, I'm more confident in Cloud and Sephiroth losing to B-tier Nintendo). The ORIGINAL block can take advantage of a favorable setup and hilarious Stand Out Factor to win. Coin flip imo.

Red > Squall > Vivi
Not quite as favorable as Sora's setup because Red might have the legit power to beat either of these guys in a fair match (doubt Sora can do that against Pikachu), but still a guaranteed win for the quiet kid in the red baseball cap.

Charizard > Mega Man > Zero
The second lucky draw for Pokemon in as many matches. Hard to see the zard dropping this.



Draven > Mewtwo > Kirby
Another smashing. THE CHAMP IS HURR.

Squirtle > Solid Snake > Sora
If the little squirt beats Cloud, he's the favorite to take out Snake in a neutral match, and Sora is about as neutral an opponent as you can expect this late in the game.

Samus Aran > Charizard > Red
Samus is the last Noble 9er left standing in a hot mess of a contest. If L-Block beats her instead, it should have a similarly easy time advancing to the finals.



Draven > Squirtle > Samus
The long kiss goodnight. I think this setup might win me the Guru, and perhaps that's why I'm favoring it, but imo it's about as likely as anything else given all that we've already seen.
