Feeling really crappy about my Round 2 picks for this division at this point. Um ... why? You must have picked Samus and MM to win their matches and at least Yoshi for 2nd right ...? --- They seem obvious still. |

Of course comebacks will be difficult. You have 2 extra characters in
there taking votes, which means a 2000 vote comeback would be like a
6000 vote comeback (to voersimplify things). Not to mention Samus will
be taking alot of the afterschool vote for herself. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Alot of people had Knuckles taking second to Mega Man due to Mega Man's
utter anihilation of Yoshi in 2005. After seeing last round, that
doesn't look like a very safe pick. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

One would expect comebacks to be hampered, especially when one of the contenders is sucking away 50+% of the votes. --- ~FFDragon. (at Work !!) The Cream of Resident Evil Fanboyism. |

I wouldn't equate it to a 6,000 vote comeback, but Axel coming back
from 2,000 down... AXEL... well, it would be very impressive, and would
say a freaking TON about Kingdom Hearts, OR Chrono Trigger. Which one,
we won't know until we see Crono. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I do a lot of pushups and situps, and I drink plenty of juice. This bold part is here until the New York Yankees are in first place in the AL East again. 7/2/07 |

nice to see Samus doing well here. she really looked mediocre last
night, but once the early voters shut up she's been gaining and
gaining. I wonder if she can hit 53% today. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

Leftover effects? Nah. Sub-Zero will be totally different than last year. Sonic is going to make him look like crap. And something else I've just noticed, it seems as though this contest is set up to prove me right about last year. Today we're seeing Axel do what Riku did in 2k5 and shortly we'll see Ryu and Sora impress. If all goes according to my bracket, then finally people will admit that I was completely right about last year, and we can all move on with our lives.

I have to say that even if you picked knux in round 2 the cause for
concern can't be there just yet. I mean i don't think anyone thought
Knux over Yoshi this year, it was more a Megaman crush Yoshi enough for
Knux to win train of thought. At least that is what I thought when
picking that match. It would have been nice to see Knux keep it close
but Yoshi will certainly hurt next round thanks to Mega but will it be
enough. I really don't think any pick for the next round looks bad
yet... *patiently awaits Midna's performance tomorrow.* --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

On voting trends: Remember Crono last year? In all of his matches (most noticeably against Sonic), he: Completely dominated the Power Hour(s), Fell slightly during the true night, Stumbled in the morning, Recovered with the day, Collapsed with the afterschool, And improved with the evening.

The only problem with that, is that Yoshi beat Knuckles enough that it
seems as though whatever Mega does to Yoshi will be done to Knuckles,
at least to some degree. Of all my round 2 picks, that's the one
worrying me the most right now. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

on Vincent/Zelda? I don't recall seeing too much discussion about it,

The Sonic Megaman battles along with the old Yoshi Knux battle makes me
think that the SFF of Mega over Nintendo is quite a degree stronger
then the SFF of Mega over Sonic. Knux of course isn't Sonic but still... --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

| Assuming Nintendo characters got a small boost in strength due to the success of Wii this year(just like how all Square characters got a boost in 2003 due to KH), i think Zelda has a good chance of winning especially when she got post TP and small pre PH boost. |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 9/5/2007 8:05:11 AM | message detail |
| Good to see that Frog is still effectively
stalling Axel right now. I'll have to wait and see what Axel does with
the after school vote first, but I think Frog can hold on. It just
seems odd to see a minor KHII character beating a playable CT
character. Kerrigan is doing much better than I expected though. I'll give her a little bit of credit. Part of my problem was probably that I shot Samus too high though. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I've always thought Zelda >> Gdorf because of the namesake of the
series... but the new games success certainly will help and Vincent is
a year older not that anything from 7 will ever die if they keep
releasing spinoffs remakes and everything else under the sun. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

Leon, I wouldn't count Samus out yet. With the recency of MP3, I can see her dominating from after school on. She can easily push 55% here. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Ouch. Looking at Kerrigan's morning vote really takes away my
confidence that she might make this loss respectable. I can see her
going under 10% as Samus and Axel fight over the kiddy vote. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

He did indeed, and he should get a couple more of them before 3. After
that, though, it's going to get ugly. I think he can hang on, but this
is probably the least confident I've been in a 1500 vote lead in a

I have Zelda > Vincent, but I'm starting to doubt myself now. Sure Zelda has TP, Brawl and PH under her dress, but I think her performance last year might be a little bit inflated, while Vincent's was likely right on the money. I think when I made my bracket I had FF7/MGS SFF in mind and was thinking Boss would take enough of that support away from Vincent to let Zelda steal it It will be close either way.
