Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

For the record, Crono had 80%+ for one update of his match with Conker. And, Mega Man's day vote > Crono's generally, isn't it?
---
Raiden fact of the post: ... what?

I'm surprised no one is bringing up this horrid match picture that Conker has when bringing up Mega doing better than expected. It looks like the little rat is a decomposing beaver.

And against Earthworm Jim, Mega Man struggled to break 80% until the day vote hit, and then he cruised to finishing with nearly 83% by the end.

Eh, Conker's picture isn't THAT bad. He's not supposed to be a good-lookin' character. I like it because it's very detailed.

Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

*sigh* The stats are NOT useless; it's just that you'll see it fall on its face harder if you watch them harder. Granted, here lately, I can see ME fallin' on my face from watching the stats like I am...but I think I'm still being plenty reasonable with it, too, and doing something the stats can't see: see more than one solution.

Besides, Conker's rising back up; he may not be so far off the mark afterall if he keeps this up.

Yeah. Thats what I thought.

He only had about 75% with that update, actually.

Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

Conker's picture is, oddly enough, too detailed. He looks great, but he looks out of place and unusual too.

FACT or FICTION: Conker would perform better with pics of him in the blue sweater he starts the game with than the pics of him in army attire.

Fiction. Conker is Conker. Either you know him or you don't, and there aren't many like him. A different picture isn't going to help him much, especially since you can still tell that it's a squirrel either way.

Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

Once again, Mega Man only captures about 75% on that last update. Perhaps the quick quadrupling start was just the board vote. I expected him to take it pretty handily anyhow.
---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

Mega Man's incoming votes have fallen quite a bit from 0:10 to 0:35 while Conker's was fairly constant. Mega Man could end up getting close to his projected amount in the end.

He is dropping pretty fast. If Mega Man can make it out of the night with more than 77%, I'd say it's still pretty likely he'll finish with over 80%.

Raiden fact of the post: Raiden never uses the run feature in MK3, however he did use it in MK2 before it was so predictable and "pop".

Fact. Conker should get the N64 version of him.

Conker's already brought himself back up to a much more respectable level than he was lookin' to be 20 minutes ago, and he'll likely go up from here.

I'm off to bed...Conker or Protoman, who wins?
---

It's not even the N64-version of him; it's just that Conker changes suits through-out the game. Him being in his blue sweater is both his first suit and the suit he wears the longest in both games.
---

In the last 20 minutes, Mega Man has gotten 75.9% of the vote, so he's definitely not keeping up the early pace, which explains why he's dropping so rapidly.

Beautiful sold me, but sexy? Aw hell naw.

And it looks like Mega Man's free fall has subsided a bit. Good.
---
Raiden fact of the post: Raiden blames Mega Man's drop on a sudden influx of "eye voters". He expected this to happen at a later hour, but knew it would come either way.

And yeah, I'd take Protoman over Conker, along with quite a few characters that would apparently be underdogs against him. Jin Kazama and Terra are coming to mind right now.
---
Don't ask why they did, but they did.

And it looks like Mega Man's free fall has subsided a bit. Good.

And then he takes a big drop. The irony is delicious, no?

Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

Mega Man is thoroughly impressing me. Yeah, Mega Man always does well against fodder similar Snake (maybe because they don't have Square/Nintendo anti-votes?), but I was not expecting this. I figured if Conker was able to at least have some strength from an M rated N64 game, an X-Box game starring him (who's audience Conker is much better suited towards) would give him a nice boost. But that's no where to be seen today.

If Tifa makes it past Sonic, Mega Man vs Tifa could be epic.
---
I need to put something here.

Conker is stealing percentage really fast. He probably had a significant boost after all.
---

He's still not at his expected percent though, is he? And MM will do better in the day, for sure. He'll have to keep this up to claim any sort of boost.
---

If Tifa makes it past Sonic, she will definitely get past Mega Man.

Tifa - Sonic is before AC's release, Tifa - Mega Man is after.

What is this? Megaman barely tripling Conker? I sure hope Crono has fallen a lot this year so I can Sonic OR Megaman in the finals.

"Start wearing purple, for me now. All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, i promise. It's just a matter of time..."

oh, and Megaman is performing about how i expected right now, so go Megaman! and judging by Zero's performances, i still say Megaman has a shot at doing a bit better with an X picture. here's hoping he finally gets one against Sonic/Tifa.

---
"Start wearing purple, for me now. All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, i promise. It's just a matter of time..."

Wow. The stats were pretty darn accurate on this one, especially if Megaman gains a point or two... after Knuckles, yet another argument that the 20XXDF did exist? After all, most of the evidence came from Frog's former 4-pack, so it's probably something that went wrong in Frog/Snake, just as you guys called. To blame it on the picture can't be totally accurate, of course, but there's an anomaly that exists nonetheless.

For those with Sonic over Megaman, be very afraid... of course, it's totally useless if Tifa beats both, but whatever.

And hot DAMN. So many people went with Luigi? Imagine if the match went down like the stats said it would, and then XS2 propels KOS-MOS to a narrow victory. Suddenly Starcraft looks like a bracket-drawing powerhouse.

That's actually smart. I'd rather lose sales on a game than lose sales on a system. And Twilight Princess is guaranteed to sell well anyway.

Hmm, MM is doing somewhat better than I expected him to, but he's still falling, so my prediction might be closer to the final result than I initially thought.

On a side note, assuming both Vyse and KOS-MOS remain constant from 2k4, Tifa is projected to score 58% on Luigi.

My hunch told me that she'll do better than that though.

I figured Mega Man couldn't keep up with the 80%+ stuff he was doing earlier, but wow, falling all the way to 75% before finally turning around. Decent performance by Mega so far.

Nothing spectacular or crappy...decent.
