Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 217

"With the delay, Cloud will need a miracle to take down Link. And he gets a TP pic, who knows what Link could do to him..."


I wonder what the vote totals would be if both Twilight Princess and Advent Children where released the day before or the day of the match, and they both got kick ass pics from TP and AC. That match would be awesome.

And to think -- Kirby/Tidus was MMX's "DIVISION LOCK".

'Course, Magus was due to kick Squall's ass a few polls from now too, so I forbear.

One thing that deserves mention is that I think that Aprosenf has basically been THE star analyst of this contest so far. His all-time stat work foreshadowed a lot of this stuff; stuff no one took seriously at the time. Kudos to him.

Well, there's more to it such as some posters that might be fake and whatnot. Still all rumors, of course, but not all rumors are false... especially when the man himself makes a comment like that.

it looked like a defensive answer to me - if he brought it up himself I'd believe it, but the guy asked him about it. what's he gonna say? "nah, we ditched that crap in 1988.'

But he did say that he was working closely with the creator of Kid Icarus. If they had no plans at all he'd have not bothered saying that part, I'm sure. Miyamoto is one of those guys that gets so excited about what he is doing that he can't help but tell somebody... slipping hints here and there. That's just how he is.

Tidus is skyrocketing in %age... kinda odd. He's still not actually taking any votes off, though. But he's coming close.
From: voltch | Posted: 8/26/2005 2:28:25 AM | Message Detail
when tidus finally wins updates then screams of comeback will happen right. anyway in these contests anything can happen right? like knuckles beating magus

Tidus is telegraphing taking the day vote from Kirby... as in... winning updates taking the day vote.

Now wouldn't that just be wack?
From: transience | Posted: 8/26/2005 2:31:00 AM | Message Detail
this has proven to be FF10's best time and he's still not going 50/50. this is going to end up 55/45 I'd say, but still, that's pretty bad.

This is the same time period that Auron gave Ganondorf some hell. FFX characters do well here for somereason. But they drop off at around 5.

Heh 10k exactly.

As if Tidus is loosing this badly....

I thought Tidus was easily stronger than Sora :P Now he's losing to the opponent that Sora's opponent beat.

I just hope Ryu/Bowser doesn't turn out to be another 44/55 match. I would love for that match to go wire to wire. Awesome pic too.
From: ChichiriMuyo | Posted: 8/26/2005 3:09:38 AM | Message Detail
Well, I actually had a feelign that all of these matches would be won under comfortable terms. They are good matches, but not exciting to the point of breaking the poll like Kefka vs. Vercetti did.

Assuming a smashing of equal proportions to yesterday I'm hoping to see something along the lines of this for tomorrow...

43-----2
42-----18
41-----166

Or, if the fates are with me, perhaps better. If things go my way I can see top 50 before Magus *cough* takes two more points from me.

Actually I'd expect it to be the match up to actually live up to the hype. But then again, who knows. The thing that seems to come to mind on the subject, however, was that the Gauntlet has been considered a 5 day ordeal, but it occurs to me that it may actually hit a 6th day...

Ryu will deliver. It's possible that Bowser will run away with, and it's possible that Ryu can very well pull it out because he's not a weakling by any means.

The only thing I can't see is Ryu pulling it out and then running away with a 55-45 win. I can BARELY see Bowser managing that but I wouldn't count on it.

Looking at how Nintendo's done so far in this contest, I'm guessing Bowser wins.

And I'm saying 58/42. BOOK IT.

Kirby's lightened up since I went to bed afew hours ago, heh, but he's still built upon his lead. Kirby ought as well has this match won, but I'm not gonna officially call anything 'til I get back from my classes. Tidus can do better than THIS though...I figure.....

No, Snake managed to get 57% on Ryu, so this would barely put Bowser above Snake. And after Round 1, it's looking like Ryu dropped, perhaps back down below his 2k3 level, so it's not impossible.

And seriously...am I the only person who thinks Snake 2k5 > Snake 2k3 and Mega Man 2k5 > Mega Man 2k3?

impressive performance by Kirby. chalk another point up to the site's demograph shifting towards Nintendo. based on that, Ryu has virtually no chance against Bowser and i am very worried about MC making it past DK.......

Yes! One of my favorite characters ever wins!!! My bracket is trash by now, go Kirby!! <(^_^)>

Wow, only 35% of the brackets had Sora out of his fourpack... mine was one of the 65% who didn't -_-.

Go Nintendo! They've still got 8 characters left, plus Link getting ready to go 2-1 against Cloud.

Yay, go Kirby! I never expected you to win by this much!

But, yeah, this indeed shows Tidus vs. Mega Man was accurate, and that Knuckles has almost no chance against Squall. We don't need Shadow anymore.

Wow, Kirby is absolutely owning. I come in here expecting people to talk about this justifying Squall's performance last year, but what do I find?

People talking about taking KIRBY OVER SQUALL?! Knuckles beats Magus and suddenly he has a shot to beat Squall. Kirby beats down Tidus worse than he should, and no one gives Squall any credit for this. Oh no, it's ALL Kirby increasing.

For the record, Kirby's current percentage puts him (and Squall) at these potential places:

Adjusted 2004 Tidus: Kirby at 30.94 (Hello there, Bowser), Squall at 34.38 (Hello there, 2003 Magus)

Unadjusted 2004 Tidus: Kirby at 27.85 (Hello there, validating 2004 number), Squall at 30.95
