Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 257
From: Sir Crono | Posted: 9/18/2005 2:15:14 PM | Message Detail
Mario through Spring Contest Bowser would get 51.77% on Crono through 2004 Mega Man, for what it's worth.

What about Mario through Sp2k5 Bowser on Crono through Sp2k5 Diablo?

MM has brought the lead under 2000, too bad it's impossible to make a comback at this point though.

Vote for Mario, this year's contest champion!
Mario > Crono. Bank on it.

Crono winning the main bracket would be incredible.


Cloud for the win! =p

There's plenty of time for Megaman to make a comeback, the problem is that he just isn't strong enough.

Yes, exactly. And that last update was 50/50, heh.

It'd be very funny if Mario ended up winning with 50.05% tomorrow... Muahahaha.

Having to comeback from 2000 votes against Crono during the night isn't going to happen.

If only Megaman had been the one to go up against Master Chief, he could have taken his day vote power. It would come in handy here.

Megaman would have to win 17.3 votes every update to come back.

Yeah, he's dead.

Mario winning this contest would be just as incredible as Crono winning.

Crono winning would shock me, bore me to tears, and make me realize that Link was suddenly the underdog against Cloud.

Crono beating Mario? Seeing Master Chief about equal to Samus in the stats would make me sad.

Heh, looks like Crono was just toying with Mega Man. He owned him there.

And his bracket is dead thanks to Snake. = D

He just wants to see Vincent high and confirm that Cloud and Sephiroth are the favorites in the ToC.

I want to see Mario own Crono so that those stats posted earlier are correct...Snake > Bowser > Kirby > The Rest would be awesome.

Heh. Crono winning helps out Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, and Tifa.


Mario helps out Kirby, Bowser, and Snake...


Yeah. =p

Meh. Now that people know that Bowser is the real deal and in Snake's class, he would receive more bracket support! That is more than enough to put him over Snake in a rematch! Yeah, that's right! <_<

Not to mention that for all of Nintendo's "domination" this year that they could not even win the main bracket OR the ToC.

I would laugh so hard.

From: Karma Hunter | Posted: 9/18/2005 2:53:08 PM | Message Detail
I can grudgingly see it happening, stats-wise, if AC really did have that big of an effect. But if it pulled up Vincent from Squall's level to that of a Noble Nine breaker, then I shudder to think what it could do for CLOUD, the freaking main character of the movie.

Mario deserves to win a tournament on video game character popularity way more than Crono does. Mario is known by nearly everyone. And if you asked a lot of people if they knew who Crono was, they'd just look at you funny. Mario IS the face of video games, people.

didnt megaman get the same % that mario did on solid snake? and crono will likely win this with around 52%.not saying crono will win for sure since snake probably increased a bit,but i'm pretty sure this will be a close match.whoever wins wont get more than 51% on the loser
From: Sir Crono | Posted: 9/18/2005 2:53:41 PM | Message Detail
If Crono beats Mario, I'd be thinking that Advent Children just helped Vincent against Crono, and that Squall actually wouldn't outrank Snake.

Link is going to break 55%, easily. Don't forget, year to year variation can push Cloud down even further...I'd laugh so hard if Link broke 57%.
---

From: Karma Hunter | Posted: 9/18/2005 2:59:23 PM | Message Detail
Link...break 55%? That would require him to get a very hefty boost (and I don't think Cloud has fallen here), and it would make no sense for him to get that much of a boost if Mario didn't do the same thing. Which means Mario better beat Crono by at LEAST the same margin Crono beat him by last year, or I can't even consider it.

For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.
From: Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted: 9/18/2005 3:00:27 PM | Message Detail
Ah, good deal. I'm glad there are still some crazy people out there who think Link will break 55%. It'll make Cloud's victory all the sweeter.

And I *really* can't believe people are even mentioning 57% for Link after seeing what Vincent did to Crono, and what Crono's doing today.

If Link broke 57% on Cloud I'm almost be ready to say that Mario would beat Sephiroth easily.

57% is stretching it, 55% is unlikely, 53% is Link's max for me, after seeing Vincent, AC probably had some kind of affect on Cloud, at least.

Well, for the stats as we know them to make any speck of sense, Mario must get close to what he got on Snake tomorrow.
