Yeah Snake should be a good bit higher than both those estimates, though they're not thrashing blowouts or anything.

It'll be hard to tell next round because Squirtle will be even stronger. If Snake can pull it off it will be very impressive.


True, true. Almost forgot about bandwagon factor.

Now I just need Blue to stand up to Pikachu well enough for Sora to get past! If Sora wins tomorrow, Snake becomes a liability to me because even though I'd be getting points for him beating Squirtle/Sora, the possibility of a Mewtwo/Snake/Charizard finals would doom me. If Pikachu wins, though, I'd need the points from Snake > Squirtle and Pikachu in order to get past dimi, at which point I'd only be able to win the Guru if Operation Mewtwo fails and the finals are Draven > Snake and Charizard.

...The closer Sora's win, the better, though, because that stupid Vivi upset means there's a very real chance that Charizard will have to contend with Red in the semis and knowing that Pokémon can SFF Trainers into the ground would really help there.

This result is either good or bad depending on tomorrow. If one of the pokemon characters gets through it's a good. We need mroe pokemon against each other ,it's the only way these things will lose. The only pokemon i want getting to Final is Trainer Red. That's it.

Snake/Draven/Red


Not happening. If Red does manage to get past the FF duo--which he probably will--he's guaranteed 3rd place in the semis due to SFF from Charizard.

If Mario/Cloud isn't 50/50 right now, Crono/Cloud would almost certainly be a barnburner.

...which I can buy, honestly. Setting up Crono/Cloud with the winner facing off against Mario could be a cool series.


cloud woud stomp Crono. mild SFF
Because that worked so well against Frog, right? If you assume he did have it against Frog, you might as well call what he'd do against Crono rSFF.

Mega Man wins. he is the Pokemon killer, i'm telling you. in the first round he took down the biggest threat before it could grow: Magikarp. his counterpart did his share of the work by taking out Jigglypuff. now he faces Charizard and will beat his ass in to prove he's The One. round after that, he beats Red. round after that, he beats the combined forces of Mewtwo and Squirtle.




how long ago did Cloud break the 400 vote line? this is the time where Squirtle should start getting worried.

Just over 3 hours to go and no hope whatsoever for Cloud. I don't know if I should risk Blue > Pikachu or not. I haven't even seen the leaderboard so I don't even know if I'm close to anywhere on it. I have 473 points and will get full points when this match ends.

Yeah, Cloud's problem is the Pokerallies intensified one last time, which is what they needed. These are arguably the strongest they've been all day even though they're essentially just stalling Cloud - going even with his SNV is no small task.

Sounds good to me. I can't afford Mewtwo potentially getting in Charizard's way and allowing the champion to be someone that a Guru actually picked.

Voted Squirtle, I am surprised that Cloud is even keeping it close. Leon being last is spot on, he's not from a quality JRPG.

I'm not concerned, considering the lead was around 200-250 votes for almost 10 hours straight. Neither of them has really done anything, and I don't expect them to start now.

To be fair, it's still possible Cloud is #2. For all we know, Squirtle's a good degree stronger than Link and Draven!
