I think someone just stuffed almost 200 votes for Yuna.

That would explain why he sometimes dips down by a good deal in percentage from time to time.

Now that's a delicious update.

Yuna only loses a mere 2 votes, there.

True, but many people already have trouble believing Yuna got a 2.5% boost from X-2 so every percentage point counts.

If we removed 600 of Yuna's "cheat votes", then Ganon moves up a half-percent on her.

They'll probably be some more later too. Oh well, at least their helping this match break 100K easier.

It's rather evident that Yuna is receiving stuffed votes. But while that really isn't going to affect the outcome of the match in any way, it'll serve to lower Ganon's percentage when he would otherwise be gaining. That doesn't help if he begins to slip during the night.

Honestly, this isn't Mario/Crono I and II where 1000 votes would make a difference. We're talking about a few hundred stuffed votes (and it's not like Ganondorf isn't getting any either) in a blowout. It's not going to make the difference between Ganon getting 60% or Ganon getting 63% here.

Who's to say Ganon's not also stuffing votes? Say what you will, but with the exception of the huge spikes, Yuna is still gradually gaining %. I'm thinking the early afternoon vote is also favoring Yuna. (not enough to gain votes, but %age wise)

Who's to say Ganon's not also stuffing votes?

From what I have seen, there hasn't been any out of place jump for Ganon over the course of the match. He's been rather consistent in gaining around 64% of the vote since morning hit with no real jump in his votes per update. Yuna has those rather obvious jumps out of nowhere from time to time, which is clearly cheated votes.

Ganon was still increasing, although the rate at which he increased was slowing down, before that first hit started. I wouldn't doubt him being closer to 62.7 right now if it weren't for that. He took quite a rather big dip in how much of the vote he took with those spikes in Yuna's votes.

Obviously, this isn't anything to get worked up over. But it will end up hurting him in percentage if it keeps up, along with a favorable night vote for Yuna.

Yuna's night vote is going to hurt Ganondorf more than a couple hundred stuffed votes here or there, which aren't really worth considering in the grand scheme of things.

It doesn't matter in Ganon vs Yuna but Auron vs Ganon...

In a match that will be close, it's likely both sides with be vote stuffing. There's simply no reason for anyone to stuff votes with the amount Ganon is winning by. Then again, there's not reason for someone to vote stuff for Yuna either and she's getting a few of those. Again, nothing major today, but it isn't as though FFX characters are the only one's who will receive stuffed votes, especially in a very close match.

So let's do that.
Ganondorf votes per 15 minutes:
http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/Ganondorf.PNG
Yuna votes per 15 minutes:
http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/Yuna.PNG

There is a spike near the beginning for both due to the large number of early voters. After that Ganondorf's curve is fairly smooth. Yuna had three "random" spikes. You can't tell from the graph, but they were 1 hour apart each. They occured at roughly 10:15, 11:15 and 12:15 PST. If there is another one at 1:15, something is defintely wrong.

which aren't really worth considering in the grand scheme of things.

It isn't going to hurt his votes gained or anything like that, but it will affect his percentage. He was nearing 62.5% at one point and is now at 62.13%. He took those big drops during the time that the vote stuffing occured. It will end up affecting his percentage in a rather noticeable fashion if it continues, but if it just doesn't happen anymore then you're right, it'd be less than .40% of a difference, which isn't anything to get in a fuss about.
