Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 211

I'd guess that Games would destroy Characters, for the most part.

*Imagines a SSBM/Sephiroth matchup with a Tidus style pic. Relishes seeing Sephiroth getting stomped into the ground*

Games vs. characters would depend. For instance FF7 would probably destroy any of it's characters, but characters like link or mario that have been in a lot of games would probably be able to beat any of their individual games.

One thing to say before the match starts. Frog will have the night vote so much that Samus will gain around 10% over the day.

Yeah, old school square always seems to choke terribly throughout a match, but start off big. Hell frog even had around 70% for the first bit of his match, and it took rikku a while to knock him under 60%. So if frog looks impressive at the start of this match I wouldn't put much weight on it until later on.

63% at the first freeze. Not bad at all, considering that Frog's going to be absolutely crushed with the day vote.

Frog's isn't doing too badly so far, considering how much the board favors Samus. Of course, he's only got one way to go...

Down... Down... Down... SPLAT.

Since the board vote is over next update does anyone think Frog can break 40% at anytime before he gets crashed?

I don't think so. Frog's best time is the early board vote; I'm actually surprised that he was able to bring Samus down to 63% when she was hanging at 65% for the first minute.

Board vote really means the "hardcore night vote." The two night votes are different since the "hardcore" voters will have already voted in the first by the time the second night vote rolls around.

Based on what we've seen so far in this tournament, I'd be surprised if Samus ends up much higher than she is now. In both of the Nintendo/Square matchups we've seen in this contest (as well as Ganondorf/Bowser vs. Sephiroth in the spring, though there were other factors involved), the Nintendo character looked ridiculously strong in the early going.

ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man?
From: yoblazer33 | Posted: 8/22/2005 12:17:59 AM | Message Detail
Combination of things. I think there has been a Nintendo increase all across the board, or, at the very least, the Mario characters have all gained strength. Also, if Mario were to win a contest, this would be the one. His fanbase is way too rabid and devoted; he'd never lose in a final if it isn't against someone that completely outclasses him. If he can rSFF Samus, I truly believe he'll win the tournament.

More votes = Well known characters getting mauled.

Few of the votes contributing to higher vote totals actually go to the lesser known character, so it really hurts for whoever it turns out to be (Frog).

Both Magus and Frog have gone out in humiliating fashion, next up: Crono, and, as we all know, the worst way for him to go out is to Mario, and it will happen.

Florida State second generation alum.

I'm slowly but surely becomin' second-generation at UT, myself.


As for Samus/Frog...Frog is gettin' F'd in the A, yo. I'll point it out again; if Master Chief 2k3 faced Samus 2k4 and MC = Frog, then Frog gets 30.87% against Samus...not accounting for any boost she might get from MP2 or having demos shipped with the DS. So, with MC lookin' more and more like he's steady from 2k3 (Face-CATS helps confirm this, DK should get 48.45% against MC when their match comes up.
