1) Bowser > Auron > Ryu - That's still my call next round. How crazy am I?
Not totally crazy, but you'd better hope there's a huge bloc of Nintendo-loyal voters who like Toad or Mewtwo better than Bowser. And you'd better hope they haven't adopted Ryu as one of their own like they have with Pac-Man and Mega Man.
2) Alright, now that you've said my bracket's screwed, is yours too?
Hard to say. Sephiroth over Meta-Knight puts me at 28 points after today. Mario over Sephiroth in the match where they both advance might make up for a lot of wrong, but it will have a lot of wrong to make up for. I wish I'd taken Squall over Akuma again in the match with Sora.
3) Toad vs Ness?
Gut says Ness, head says Toad can't be too far behind.
4) Not bothering to ask if Mewtwo deserves to come back, we all know he will. Easy one, out of those, who would he beat ?
Ness - Mewtwo wins with a percentage in the comfortable upper 50's.
Gordon - Mewtwo wins, but doesn't do as well as you might think. I don't see many fair-weather fans of Gordon Freeman being swayed by a handheld RPG character.
Yuna - Mewtwo makes it look respectable but loses with something in the 40's.
Yoshi - Mewtwo gets flutter-kicked and tail-smashed to the tune of a doubling or so. Definitely not buying Mewtwo as a fan-favorite who can hold his voters against big boys from his own company, Bowser be damned.
DK - ...is a totally different story, however. Mewtwo could win this; he'd be very close at the least. But I don't respect the ape too much against Nintendo opposition at all. Matches like this have a weird referendum-on-Smash-Brothers feel to them, and Mewtwo is at least viewed as kind of fun to play as.
Tidus - Another match Mewtwo could win narrowly, and I'll pick him to do so.
Knuckles - Mewtwo can't take Knux, no way. He'll probably land somewhere in the low 40's.
5) Ngamer suggested poll: Peach or Meta Knight, who'll take 2nd today?
MK is building his lead and will surely win, but I'm cheating by responding at 4:45 PM when the question was asked in the wee hours of the morning. Nyah nyah.
