| PostContestUlti 12/10/20 8:21:37 PM #148: | Contest Quarterfinal: Solid Snake, Weighted Companion Cube, Cloud, and Mewtwo Solid Snake - 39971 [29.14%] Cube - 26314 [19.18%] Cloud - 52686 [38.41%] Mewtwo - 18206 [13.27%] Total Votes - 137177 We all needed a rest break after the epic nonsense we had just been through, which is exactly what this match was. The only excitement to be had here was Snake keeping it close with Cloud for five minutes, which was a portent of things to come but we can save that for the appropriate time. After that five minutes was up, Cloud looked thoroughly dominant here. Not as dominant as Link, but he looked amazing nonetheless. It ultimately made the final all that much more of a shock. Past that, not much to talk about. Mewtwo did well to make it this far, and he more than made up for his atrocious 2007 showing, but he never really looked <i>that</i> good here in 2008. Cube.... just kind of went out with a whimper. L-Block showed us that the inanimate joke factor was dead and buried, and that these characters were not going to have the same steam here in 2008, and this match showed it. Cube was never in this thing, had no joke trends, and acted more or less like a normal third place character. It was cool to see him not finish in last place on his way out, but L-Block he was not. It was a boring match here today, which is exactly what we all needed. Crono's Redemption Story really took it out of everyone. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
