#264 | Then00bAvenger | Posted 9/6/2013 9:02:25 PM | message detail
Geez.

If Pikachu gets a comfortable win over Sora here despite Blue being in the poll, that makes Crono actually look... pretty damn good.

If there's any spillover from the Squirtle rally it's obviously not going to help Sora!

Blue is weaker than Pikachu, that's to be expected. Blue can rSFF the rat but he's still gonna look weaker than it. Pikachu's just a stronger guy, Blue's doing no favors by being his anchor.

Blue's percentage is dipping more severely than Pikachu. It's amazing how quickly Nintendo fans learn. Literally within three minutes. Square fans are hilariously inept in comparison.

Man, I had a feeling Sora would botch it up. Glad I picked Pikachu over him.
However if he botches it up even more and comes in last....

Surely, surely Sora can't botch this. He couldn't dream up more favourable circumstances to make the final nine, and yet...Pikachu, well played!

Remember when Sora was a trendy upset pick over Crono in a hypothetical matchup? Crono laughs at the notion now!

Does Kingdom Hearts have a bad board vote and/or power hour? Because if it does, Blue refusing to fold is gonna spell the death of Pokemon here.

I doubt it happens but Blue really could be our first true example of RSFF in action outside of Samus/Mario.

Sore Thumb Factor cannot hurt the Pokemon. When there is only one Pokemon in the poll, they dominate. When there are TWO, the Pokemon fan votes for one and dials up his friend to vote for the other. Then they both laugh at Sora.

Invincible.

Nintendo fans might be tactically brilliant, but look at next round! They're as strategically incompetent as...uh...Mega Man fans!

I love Pikachu, but I have to vote for Sora if Squirtle even has a chance of beating Snake next round.

They really don't.
