Contest Stats & Discussion - Part 239

Last year. Sonic was about Mario level. If you like to believe it or not. He got 42% on Samus, mario lost to crono, he got weaker. The year before mario got 38 on sephiroth. Samus is only 2percentage or so below sephiroth. So sonic would get the 39-40 on sephiroth. This year, mario got a huge increase, as well as on nintendo. Mario would easily beat crono this year. Sonic got an increase as well. He was last year I say two percentage below crono, but with this years boost, he would be above crono. Stop saying he has no chance.

Mario did NOT get weaker. Crono got stronger. And Sonic was FOUR points behind Crono, not two. You're just using biased numbers with no substance whatsoever.

Oh, and that four points was on BL to boot. So a Crono/Sonic match last year would've turned out 55-45 or such.

ok PLEASE tell me how he is FOUR behind crono? stop throwing out BS when you offer NO proof. Mario got weaker, why else would he lose by 3 percentage? Crono is overrated, unless you offer proof of how crono is stronger, be quiet.

I always thought last year that it was more of people getting tired of seeing Mario/Crono thus siding with Crono to help him finally get him win. Nonetheless, whether that's right or wrong, I fully expected Mario to bounce back this year.

Actually, he performed like expected on a Link on roids, so the two increased proportionally.

The idea of people being tired of it, thus voting Crono, was actually the best point one could make for Cloud beating Link before Link clobbered MM.

right, but he didnt get the 39 did he, he got 37!, so yeah, more people must of sided with him for the upset. Crono this year has shown NO signs of a boost, sonic has overperformed on both matches, he did better on diabolo then crono. Sonic is now = if not stronger then crono. You are just biased sonic hater, and the proof is that you say lets make it "realistic" when sonic is CLEARLY SHOWING that he is crono level or above.

The current vote intake is roughly equal to or higher than the vote intake of Snake Vs. Sora at this time despite going into this time with more than a 1000 vote total deficit.

So ending up around the Sora Vs. Snake vote total is not unlikely.

I can see Sonic gaining a lot of votes from Crono if Mario is in the final because everyone is getting tired of Mario VS Crono and Mario VS Sonic is the perfect way to end this character contests.

right, but he didnt get the 39 did he, he got 37!

Which was what was expected in the first place.

Crono this year has shown NO signs of a boost

Not like he needs one.

sonic has overperformed on both matches

Jin is as strong as Kefka now? News to me.

he did better on diabolo then crono.

Link to Crono/Diablo. NOW.

You are just biased sonic hater

I have officially become the first person ever to hate one of my five favorite characters! I demand an award!

and the proof is that you say lets make it "realistic" when sonic is CLEARLY SHOWING that he is crono level or above.

If he was clearly showing he could beat Crono, why have BOTH Crono and Sonic been consistent with what they did last year?

And technically, Sonic's match with Diablo when compared with Crono's match with Vercetti were equal for statistical purposes.

Even so, going into that match with equal performances, who's going to get the common sense nod? Crono, who's been shown to be Mario's equal countless times and even beat him decisively once, or Sonic?

No, he won't.

And Cloud or Sephiroth would own Master Chief with the day vote, for the record. They're as good with it as it comes, due to also being sucky with the first night vote.

At this rate, MC will have actually taken more off of Crono's % than Link did in their match. At the least I wouldn't be surprised if MC didn't lose any % if he was pitted against Seph or Cloud.

Bowser and Ganondorf are also fierce day vote getters, and Sephiroth owned them both with it, especially Bowser. Heck, Sonic got OWNED by Cloud with it, as did Samus.

Keep hatin, Leonhart. Master Chief's looking primed to take one at sometime between now and 15:30, his peak. He's already taken many low 40s and a 45.75%.

Master Chief will win one, even if by just one vote!

39 is not 37.


"Not like he needs one."
when sonic has been showing to be same or above I think he does if he wants to beat him. Also, crono has no chance against mario this year. Mario has shown that in all his matches thus far. Yeah, and if crono beats sonic, and samus beats mario. Expect samus/crono to be 57-43 type match.

"Jin is as strong as Kefka now? News to me."

Diabolo is 4percent above kefka, he won 54/46, of course he wouldnt be stronger then kefka, but not much below.



"Link to Crono/Diablo. NOW."

I meant based on xstats.



"I have officially become the first person ever to hate one of my five favorite characters! I demand an award!"

All your dissing on sonic points at you being sonic hater, you arguing this much already to try to prove sonic has no chance versus someone he has never been far behind, and now even or above proves it. Or are you just that much of a crono fanboy?


If he was clearly showing he could beat Crono, why have BOTH Crono and Sonic been consistent with what they did last year?"

Sonics match with diabolo proved him to be above. Don't be dumb. Im dumb arguing with you, your crono fanboyism has upset the balance of the force.

Meh. Ganondorf only snatched 1% from Samus and Bowser was creamed by Kirby for the majority of the day. And even so, by the time morning hit, Seph was only 2% away from his eventual final tally so he didn't really OWN them.

Though Cloud's pwning of Sonic would be something. I just don't remember how that match went.

I think Cloud and Sephy are good with the day vote because the board vote anti-botes them to all hell. They don't exactly have anywhere to go but up.

And the master of the day vote is Link.

"Which was what was expected in the first place."
39 is not 37.


But 37 is what was expected, not 39, so all is good.

"Not like he needs one."
when sonic has been showing to be same or above I think he does if he wants to beat him. Also, crono has no chance against mario this year. Mario has shown that in all his matches thus far. Yeah, and if crono beats sonic, and samus beats mario. Expect samus/crono to be 57-43 type match.


Sonic has NEVER shown that he even WANTED to be above Crono. And although Mario does look primed to beat him if he can get past Samus, it's all Mario. It has nothing to do with Crono dropping.

"Link to Crono/Diablo. NOW."
I meant based on xstats.


Oh, the same X-Sts that project Crono to clear 70% on Diablo with ease? These ones?

All your dissing on sonic points at you being sonic hater, you arguing this much already to try to prove sonic has no chance versus someone he has never been far behind, and now even or above proves it. Or are you just that much of a crono fanboy?

I have never dissed Sonic as a character. Likewise, I don't give a crap about Crono. It's just that... wait for it... I'm REALISTIC about his chances. I don't let idiotic fanboyism get in the way of my predictions.

Sonics match with diabolo proved him to be above. Don't be dumb. Im dumb arguing with you, your crono fanboyism has upset the balance of the force.

PROVED? As I said, Crono would break 70% on Diablo. Learn how to use the X-Sts, and in the meantime, don't try bringing them up. Oh, and don't bring up pointless, baseless assumptions like me somehow giving a hoot about Crono and hating Sonic.

Sonics match with diabolo proved him to be above.

Except it didn't really. You're kind of misusing the stats. They're not exact sciences, they're general ideas.

Sonic's % on BL according to Diablo: 39.8%

Crono's % on BL according to Vercetti: 40.25

Both were measured through Kefka so it's pretty fair.

Even if you take them as exact, Crono still has a slight advantage. But even so, when they're that close, we just know that they're "close"

And all of this talk about whether Knuckles or Master Chief is the day vote king wouldn't be resolved regardless. Knuckles would own him in the morning hours, and Master Chief would retaliate with the after school vote. They're dominant at two different times. Heck, Crono was GAINING percentage until about an hour and a half ago.

That's not very good logic, because Samus is comfortably enough ahead of Crono, we know that much. But there's the possibility that Mario still needs rSFF on Samus, and pulls it. Crono wouldn't be facing the strongest character out of the two, and that's his only chance.

38.18% for Bowser. Kind of impressive when you see he had to get past Ryu/Tidus/Kirby.

And Chief going for 35%. Decent Crono performance. It's not as good as impressing, but he doesn't need to impress to beat his half of the bracket.

I can't believe there's still argument about Crono losing to Sonic. Sonic's match with Diablo isn't that impressive, and Jin tells us nothing. Wait 'til Yoshi outperforms expectations on Sonic until a call like that is made.
