Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 224

Yeha, really, for all we know Vincent could jump 5% in each of the next 3 updates and grab a quick 65%. Again, wait until the board vote wears off, or else you make yourself look like an ass. No sense making predictions when we know no more than we did 20 minutes ago.

Lead of nine for Vincent...hmmm. It'll be interesting to see how it is when I wake up.

Gone to bed...how's everybody feelin' 'bout Vincent/Squall now though?

Woo! Still close!

Which, once again, sparks the question... Do five minute updates suck? Yes, they do. Hell, Dante could be leading right now, but we can't see it. 15 minutes was far better, if less exciting.

Gotta agree with EC here. Dante better keep this close so my Sonic > Mega Man pick happens.

...wait a second, did I agree with EC?

As crazy as it would be, I would love this to be an all day affair. Vincent will still win rather decisively, but for the Gauntlet to fizzle and then MC/DK and Dante/Vincent to make up for it would be excellent.

Well that wasn't impressive, but I don't think this is Vincent's best time. Hopefully he starts pulling away before the day vote though.

BTW: Ceej's Luigi/Tifa pic is almost just like the one I posted ahead of time. :P

You mean as I've said all along? ^.~

But I don't want to get cocky with this match, for all I know in one minute Vincent may have gotten a 100 vote lead... but dammit I love you Dante.

"That, my friend, is grasping at straws."

This from someone who thinks 15 minutes of a match featuring a character who is at his very weakest in the first hour justifies a prediction made hours ago with just as much (meaning none) evidence. Wait a coupl ehours before you start making predictions, there's no telling what will happen when Vincent actually hits a time period where he is favored.

15 vote gain. Doesn't look good for my man, but obviously it's still not out of reach completely... here's to hopefully a day of controversy, suspicions, whining, *****ing, and everything else that I love about this contest.

I'd say even if Vincent wins by only, say, 55-60%, he could still potentially impress. DMC3 may have given Dante an increase, as we've suggested for a while.

There's no telling what will happen when Dante actually hits a time period when he's favored, too. As I said, he was only getting 68-70% against Terra during the two night votes, but he got 72-75% during the day. His voting patterns are nearly the same as Vincent's, and they're going more or less 50/50 during both of their worst times. If you think Vincent can even hit 60% you are completely out of your mind.

I don't care what happens with this match, Dante has made his point and showed Vincent of his weakness.

He won't get anymore than 55%

This is jus really down to rSSF. You see, Dante was on the PS2 and Vincent was on the PS1, so Dante ia currently rSSFing Vincent.

As I've suggested before, I think higher vote totals favor Dante. I don't think he's MUCH higher than his 2003 levels. Maybe slightly higher.

Thing is, Vincent conceivably *will* SFF Dante after he stars in DoC, seeing as how the games will feature near identical gameplay. = P

Doesn't necessarily matter where the character's from. I just think Dante performs better with higher vote totals regardless.

And you're just completely ignoring the fact that Starcraft is awesome with the night vote, while Dante's not great at all with it? Come now, we shouldn't expect nearly as big of an increase as we saw in Vincent/Kerrigan. I'm thinking that the poll will end with Vincent winning with 53%.

The lead is far more than 47, and it's only going to increase by quite a lot later on. FF7 is absolutely horrible in the early parts of every poll it's in.
