Which match do you guys think will get the lowest vote totals?

I think it's gonna be Ocelot/Pac-Man.

Summer 2005 Contest - 3/4 points
Current Match Prediction: Samus vs. Yuri

From: Tequilla Gundam | Posted: 7/23/2005 11:40:45 AM

The immaturity is killing me..

So... uuuh, you have not seen how ability to draw more votes is correlated with contest strength? There is a reason why the low vote total matches always involve fodder/fodder, and the high vote total matches either are ridiculously close, or involve top tier characters.

RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/2005

Meh, I don't think Kratos/Alucard will pull in a lot of votes, personally. Dunno if it'll be the lowest, but it ought to be down there.

The lower vote totals might also be attributed to following a match between two relative nobodies. If I recall correctly, Vergil/Ghaleon started off on fire for vote totals, and we all know which match it followed, so the opposite effect might happen as well.

Yeah, probably Ocelot/Pac-man. Possibly DK/Sam or Gordon/Leon.

I'd say that Kefka/Vercetti will be the lowest.

So now why is Leon a nobody? True Jill only ever got a certain amount of vote totals, but Leon will be the best REpresentitive. (PUN!!!)

Summer 2005 Contest Score : 4/4
Rank : 1/33793 Today: Samus Tomorrow: Frog

Even going by his 2003 number, Fisher's only supposed to get 47% on DK. Honestly, nobody here likes Splinter Cell. DK may not be that popular, but they still prefer him over Sam.

Sam's only win was a struggle with GORDON FREEMAN. GORDON ****ING FREEMAN. You know you suck when you can barely break 55% on this contest's biggest loser. DK will beat him, but it will be closer than expected (DK always has a close match).

Current Match Prediction: Riku vs. Frog

Vyse and Bub didn't make it close either, and I don't think Fisher's as strong as Vyse. It'll be DK's biggest blowout in teh evar.

Anyone surprised by the number of casuals hyping up Riku/Frog? If Frog were up against Sora it'd be something else, but just because of that, Riku/Frog is a foregone conclusion.

Tidus/Auron argument. People believe that Riku is even more popular with the fanbase than Sora, and to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

I still think Frog's got it in the bag, though.

Yeah, but at least Aeris is decently strong and had the benefit of SFF. What does DK have in his corner that Magus didn't? Nothing.

It's a good point. And Riku's not one of those guys like Ansem who you don't see for most of the game. He's constantly in your face. Still, Sora being the face of KH might help him more.

Regardless, the second battle with Riku = One of my favorite RPG battles ever

It's up to the point where Samus loses a percentage point whenever Yuri gets a single vote.

Oh, man...

///
Help Yuri break 15% on Samus this contest!
Maybe? Please?

Honestly, this is ridiculous. Samus is still getting nearly 90% of the vote. She's gained .25% in less than two hours. In the upper 80s, that's incredibly difficult.

The only thing that you can say was dissapointing is the vote totals and according to others the totals are usually lower on the weekends during the summer.

No, it was because you wanted an extra point for your bracket. You made the right call.

You made the right choice. I think Cecil will be weaker than Ramza, now that I think about it. FFT did very well against MGS, so I think more people played FFT than FFIV.

Summer 2005 Contest - 4/5 points

Yuri may not even hit 10k. Way to go Samus ^_^.

I have been so completely beaten, and by a Yoshi!
Why did I start a fight I could not win?

I'm bored now, so why I think Magus will beat Squall:

Alot of the guys who have Squall > Magus say that Magus is overrated and that you can trust his 2k4 number. Well, the same can be said of Squall. Squall ran into an SFF beating at the hands of Cloud, where Cloud tripled him. If anything (especially after seeing Squall's underperformance against Kirby and Bomberman) Squall is overrated as well.

Magus managed to barely edge out Ganondorf and get 35% of the vote against Link in 2k3. I honestly cannot see Squall being Ganondorf's level, or anywhere near. In 2k4, Magus managed 35% on Crono despite the huge SFF. Squall also struggled to break 60% against Jill Valentine in 2003.

My Prediction: Magus with 56.45%

Last time I checked, this match was around 40 minutes old. Samus will be well into the 85-90% range by the time this is done.

Man, I'm tired of being right.

This signature avaliable for rent.

My point was that there was no way that Samus was going to hang around 84%, and would make 87% or 88% with ease.
