Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 196

Yeah, and aren't Sonic characters particularly great @ the day vote. Either way, shouldn't Magus be providing some resistance? He's just dropping this lead.

Just to give you an idea using someone comparable to CT, knux gained 8% on kefka through the day vote last year.

Also he gained 6-7% on solid snake through a match last year. Knux is very good with the day vote. I don't find this overly surprising. That he's coming back I mean, him winning (or about to be at least) is surprising.

The funny thing is, the prediction percentage of this match will probably be over 50%.

Knuckles would be a big newbie magnet, don't forget.

what were the peak leads for Snake and Kefka when Knuckles made his charge. Because I still think Magus can come back if he can dominate the 2nd night vote the way Knuckles does the day.

I really want to see what Ulti will write about Magus n MMXCalibur's site.

2004: " we can only hope that we get to see what Magus is truly capable of in future contests."

2005: Lost to the wrong Sonic character.

Did any of te board vets pick knux in this match by chance? I'm wondering because if they didn't I'm beginning to doubt we'll see a board regular win the contest this year.

I'm conflicted, because on one hand I want Knuckles to be strong so he can beat Squall. On the other hand, I don't want Solid Snake to actually look good, because he sucks and his pathetic performances fill my heart with glee.

Here's to Knuckles > Squall and Zelda/Bowser > Snake.

I don't recall Knuckles>Magus ever being suggested even in jest.

I mean, WTF. This is the Luigi vs. Squall of this contest.

...Well, okay, not that bad, since people actually like Knuckles and Squall flattened Luigi, but it's close.

*wakes up and votes Knuckles, fully expecting Magus to have a sizeable lead*

*goes to see that (at the time) Magus was only leading by 48 votes, and now Knuckles is winning by 1*

*Yells "Holy ****."*

Well, this certainly has made my day, even though it'll screw with my bracket some, though it's not like I exactly care at this point with the shape my bracket's in...

If before today anyone said magus might lose to knux they'd be promptly mocked by everyone. Good thing nobody said something like that.

Meh, Im ready to ****ing piss on the X-Stats..

How could this be possible?

9 Magus 34.93%
28 Knuckles 26.74%

A whole 8 percent..

According to the stats, upsets of this calibur would be like:

Kefka > Bowser
Mario > Sephiroth
Sephiroth > Link
Snake > Crono
Gordon > Ryu H
