| - It's hard to remember, but once upon a time Laharl vs L-Block was a very debated commodity in this match. Kirby was the obvious first place winner here, Nathan Hale was the obvious last place pick (and boy did he deliver on that), but Laharl vs L-Block had some of the craziest arguing all contest. Kirby was obviously supposed to go berserk from here, and he did in the next update. 33 vote lead, boom, over. "Not so fast, my friend!" -Lee Corso

| - It's hard to remember, but once upon a time Laharl vs L-Block was a very debated commodity in this match. Kirby was the obvious first place winner here, Nathan Hale was the obvious last place pick (and boy did he deliver on that), but Laharl vs L-Block had some of the craziest arguing all contest. The arguments or the reaction to L-Block's terrible picture aren't worth getting into four years after the fact, especially given L-Block laid them all to rest at the very beginning of the match. Forget beating Laharl; L-Block was beating Kirby, and fairly easily at that. He was up by 40 votes for a few minutes, but then Kirby tied it before the freeze. Kirby was obviously supposed to go berserk from here, and he did in the next update. 33 vote lead, boom, over. "Not so fast, my friend!" -Lee Corso L-Block came back to take the lead in the next update, and held it for 10 minutes. Kirby came back and totally swamped him after that, of course, but the whole L-Block vs Laharl thing was beyond over at that point. What was interesting here is how well L-Block did, and some hype started for him possibly getting to round 3. In the next round it was going to be him, Kirby, another Nintendo character in either DK or Marth and Kratos. Maybe there'd be some weird Nintendo hate crime going on that would allow L-Block to sneak by, you know? Remember, back when this happened we didn't realize the guy was a beast, nor did he look like one early. It was more wishful thinking than anything, although I seem to recall a "be careful what you wish for" quote being written somewhere...
