If Sonic septuples, I say he is the favorite in Sonic vs Mega Man. For now anyway.

Terry was still above 25% at this point, by the way. Looks like Harpy's wish will come true here. I do think the day will treat Jin better than Terry, though.

Against Sonic? It won't matter as his percentage won't be going up either way.

I'm beginning to think Mario might be Samus purely due to bracket-voting after seeing just about so few entries with Samus as the projected winner...

I simply must say I'm completely out of ideas for a sig!

Hmmm...Sonic dropped back under 80% right there. That was odd.

Sonic back under 80% by that last update. But with the day vote to look forward to, Sonic shouldn't have to worry about hitting 80% at this point.

It's very misleading right now. Samus is heavily favored by those who follow the stats. The same people who got slaughted on Ness vs CJ and Magus vs Knuckles.

"Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

I'm not so sure about that. I think Jin would be the type that would "win the day vote" often against... well... not Sonic, and prevent Sonic from squashing him as flat as you'd expect him to. I doubt Sonic will gain too much %age when the day hits, I wouldn't be surprised to actually see him lose it if Jin's low enough by the time it hits.
---
Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

Yes, below 80, odd... but he's going to finish much higher, about 83-84.

Also, of the 3 perfects who went down (who really shouldn't have...) they all three had Mario as champion. The 9 unrealistic perfects rage on...

We could, but then we'd basically have nothing to talk about right now. Besides, doing this at the beginning of the match shouldn't be a problem. I didn't see anyone copy and pasting the poll results en masse.

If Mega Man can match this, he'll be looking pretty good. I know I'd take Conker over over Jin without a second thought, especially cause of Conker's new game.

If Mega Man got close to breaking 80%, that would make my day.

Yeah, Conker will put up better numbers against MM for sure, but Conker will also be much stronger than Jin. Jin is a rookie, but Conker has been here since '03, of course he's gonna be stronger.

Mega Man will be able to put up an equal performance. Heck, with Sonic dropping a bit, Mega Man might look better.

I'm not so sure I would take Conker over Jin. Tekken 5 is pretty new too. Then again I'm the type to overestimate fighting game characters.

So, when does the "day vote" technically begin, anyway? 5 hours in? Or 6?

Crono got 77% on Conker. Sonic's sure to do better than that here on Jin. The foul-mouthed squirrel will likely be a good deal stronger. He's pretty close to the VFL, actually.
---

Yeah. Adjusted Mega Man is only projected to get 78% without taking a Conker boost into consideration. If he breaks 80, I'll officially drop the chance of Sonic beating Mega Man.

And for reference, unadjusted Mega Man is projected to get about 75%.

I won't be surprised to see Mega Man outdo Crono against Conker. I'm looking forward to the Mega Man > Crono talk possibilities. I don't think it'll necessarily mean anything even if it does happen, Mega Man is a good fodder killer.

I'll admit Conker's the favorite vs Jin, I didn't even realize he was so "high". I'd still probably pick Jin though... heh.
---
Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

Well, unless Mega Man gets some sort of "Platformer SFF," I wouldn't bet on it.

By the way, Conker would be expected to get 61.24% on Kazuya, for what it's worth.

My Summer Contest Score: 20/24 - Todays Pick: Sonic the Hedgehog
KingBartz: Been a full Virgin since '87

If I were to guess, Conker would embarrass Jin. Not necessarily destroy and blow him out, but it's hard for me to imagine Conker beating Jin in a match closer than 60-40. Then, to quote Leonhart since it works with my assumption, "Conker would be expected to get 61.24% on Kazuya, for what it's worth." From there, add to it Conker's new Xbox game, and everything should be set that Conker should be noticeably stronger than Jin.

Mega Man'll look bad against Conker, too, I'm sure; between most likely having his unadjusted strength and Conker's new game, people will be upset that we all bandwagoned on Mega > Sonic. Whether they'll actually have true reason to be upset or not, that's still yet to be determined...but enough things have made it look bad for Mega Man so far.


While talking about Conker again, can somebody please find the sales for Conker's Bad Fur Day and Conker: Live And Reloaded?

Hillary Clinton: We need to treat violent video games the way we treat tobacco or alcohol.
Lewis Black: Namely as valued contributors to our re-election fund.

Well I think Sonic's going to have to end up about 1% higher than he did against Terry when the day vote hit for Terry > Jin. Whenever the day vote actually does hit... still didn't get an answer on that. I'll guess 5 hours in, based on when Sonic started to rise against Terry.

So yeah, Sonic has to be at 79.4% by 5 hours in or Jin > Terry. That's my prediction.

This early voting pattern has been kinda unusual. If Sonic continues to drop he might dip below 76% or even under 75% before the morning vote, and if so, 80% might be somewhat tough for him. I still expect him to get it though.
---

He's still doing slightly better than he was against Terry. But the difference here is, whereas Terry was stagnating, Jin seems to be on the rise. Jin might escape the quadrupling yet if he keeps this up.

I wouldn't rule Mega Man trouncing Conker worse than Crono did outside the realm of possibility. Even though Conker just got a new game and Crono is the stronger guy in the elite class, no one seems to dispatch the weak stuff like Mega Man.
