Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 222

Well, Mc's comeback against Frog is the biggest though isn't it? He fully came back from that, so that comeback was successful. It was just that Frog (who clearly cheated) came back on his own after that. The Duck Hunt comeback wasn't successful because it never worked, but MC's comeback last year was a success; it just didn't hold.

I only call it successful if the person who came back won the match, but it's your call.

...LOL.

No, MC's comeback against Frog was not successful. That's why he didn't win.

Frog also kept Solid Snake from winning a single update in the last three hours of their match. Obviously, Frog knows what he's doin' with the night-vote.

The Frog cheating bit was a joke, btw. The comeback was successful. If we're looking at comeback as biggest number of votes overcome to take the lead, then that comeback was the most successful comeback. The Duck Hunt comeback is different, because Duck Hunt never took the lead. It was one failed comeback. Master Chief successfully took back the lead, therefore his comeback was successful. I mean, looking at matches in terms of one comeback is just...lacking, I think. It wasn't one comeback that Master Chief failed at. He successfully staged one, and then lost another one.

What about Master Hand? Sure, he was only down by about 300 votes half-way through the match, but he finished with a win of over 5,500. Depends on your definition of comeback, of course (I'm sidin' with the successful-comeback-but-not-necessarily-win definition like MC/Frog, myself).

Well, I think comeback implies deficit of votes. The biggest you can come back from being down from. MH swung a ton of votes, but he was never down by all that much.

You can't really use that since I can say since CATS got the first vote MC swung the match by 35577 votes.

This is how Master Chief/Frog went...

Frog increased his lead throughout the night and reached his peak (2400 votes) at 11:30 AM. Then, MC started coming back gradually until he finally took the lead at about 4:30 PM. He increased his lead 'til about 6:30 PM, reaching a peak of 620 votes. Then, Frog slowly came back, took the lead at 10:30 PM, and won by the skin of his teeth.

Could this match follow the same pattern exactly...?

This will not follow Frog/MC, because Frog has the CT night vote, and DK is fairly terrible at night.

I wouldn't count on it. DK =/= Frog.

Though it's obvious that MC was either VERY overrated, to the point of ridiculousness, or Donkey Kong got a general boost along with the rest of Nintendo. And that's no matter who wins.

It's not out of the question, but I'd be pretty shocked if DK matched what Frog did with the second night vote.

Actually, the night vote is what allowed Donkey Kong to slow down Duck Hunt's comeback long enough to win. He's not that bad with it.

I didn't word what I meant well, at all. Because I agree with you. When I say biggest comeback, I mean that Character A was down by X amount of votes, successfully recovered all of those votes, and took the lead from Character B. Biggest Comeback would then be defined on how big X amount of votes were that were successfully recovered..

This match has been quite similar to Frog/MC so far.

If the night vote does favor DK, look for him to start making a comeback around 6:30 PM...about two hours from now.

But if it doesn't favor DK...well...that just sucks.

Yeah, because DK would totally break 45% on Solid Snake.

And, well, DK's just average with the day/night distribution. Master Chief, on the other hand, is the most extreme case we have. For the night vote, average > extreme. DK WILL come back... the question is, by how much?

And technically, if CATS got the first vote on Cloud, then going by the definition implied by MH/Kuja, Cloud made the biggest comeback. Just random insanity at work.

MC is at 26.15% in his last real ranking. Not high enough to put DK at 45% on Snake.

Master Chief should be fine at this rate. Donkey Kong certainly is not any night vote monster and Master Chief doesn't suck with it by any means.

Way to go Chief. <3

Dude, Master Chief's lead should be beyond 1000 by the "comeback time" if he keeps this up.

And Frog did not "suck up the night vote like a vacuum". Chief stalled him pretty effectively several times. Only losing 600 votes in about 6 hours (and it would have been only like 400 if Frog hadn't have made the huge jump 2 hours from the end) if you're against Frog means you're at least decent with the night.
