SSB will probably have under 50% here...Sonic was likely great casual
bait and it's never been impressive with the prediction percentages to
begin with. Heck, we might get something Vincent-esque. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Thinking about it, anyone else surprised that the Chrono series didn't
get in? You'd think Trigger would be more than enough for it to be in. --- 3rd overall in the "10 Best Games Ever" contest (Score 11/27%). 15th overall in the "Summer 2005 Character Contest" (Score 204). |

It's not all that surprising, and CJay already covered this in the
Daily Grind. CT missed out because half the people nominated "Chrono"
and the other half "Crono." But even if you add the two together, it
would only have made the field as a 7 seed. --- "lol x-stats" - The Contest Simulator: http://thengamer.com/xstats Ngamer's Contest Archives: http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ |

Halo only made the field as a 6 seed and I didn't see anyone writing it
off. Chrono shoulda been in and deserved it as much as SSB did. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

heh, that's why i'm starting to like the idea of "something fishy factor" instead of "same fanbase factor". I honestly -hate- the term something fishy factor, aside from the comic value of it. Saying something fishy went on may as well be saying there was an overlap in fanbase significant enough to skew the results (SFF), there is no other reason for overperformance or underpeformance aside from an overlap in fanbase, it just simply doesn't exist. And you don't have to be from the same company, genre, or system for it to occur. You can be, and it certainly will show up more often when those 3 things do coincide, but simply because they don't isn't a reason to act like SFF isn't a possibility. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Ah, I haven't been keeping up with all the topics, I guess. And why didn't he just mix Crono and Chrono? Pretty clear what people meant. --- 3rd overall in the "10 Best Games Ever" contest (Score 11/27%). 15th overall in the "Summer 2005 Character Contest" (Score 204). |

Quick Analysis: Final Fantasy will be looking to impress, and no less than a sextupling of the original Mega Man series will do it. However, there are a few points to keep in mind: - Voters are sheep and will assume "Mega Man" refers to not only every Mega Man series, but Mega Man as a character as well, which will give Mega Man the strength of a Noble Nine character status - PLUS ALL HIS SERIES. - The match pic heavily favors Mega Man. Modern gamers aren't familiar with any of the sprites in the pic. Also, the order is reversed, meaning people that might otherwise vote for FF will vote for Mega Man instead. Whoops! - Bass and Protoman are in the picture. This is apparently some sort of big deal. Anyways, all things taking into account, Mega Man will march to victory - and avoid the sextupling. Barely. Prediction: Final Fantasy with 80.77% --- This was Ed Bellis. |

Alright.. finally caught up with the last topic, still need to read
this topic. This seems to be a continuing trend. I get home around
11:30 or so, get caught up on the old stats topic, and it's time to
watch the new match unfold. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I honestly don't think half the people were stupid enough to nominate
Chrono as 'Crono' or something like that...plus, there's a lot more
common misspellings that can be made from the lower seeded stuff that
got in. Soul Caliber had to be one of the big ones, yet it still got its 8 seed. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

FF's not even getting a doubling here...but then again, we saw that the
board likely anti-voted it hard during the Diablo match. Seeing an
insane percentage jump is probably very likely. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Considering what Final Fantasy was doing at the first freeze to Diablo, this is very impressive. Of course, Mega Man is much more likely to be favored by the board, but odds are the percentage won't sky rocket to the 80s range. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

hmm, interesting. it's only the first minute though, I wouldn't be surprised if FF makes a huge jump here. and if it stays like this for the rest of the match, I'd attribute it to Mega Man being pretty strong. looks like we may have just underestimated it badly when we took MK. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104.

It got up to 69% with that update. Hopefully it'll continue increasing
tonight and get over 70% without much trouble. I wish it'd go for the
tripling!! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

From the very first freeze (i.e. the one after the first two minutes)
to the end of the match, Diablo lost nearly ten percent. FF's leap at
the first 5 minute update here is much tamer though...around 4 percent
instead of 6 percent. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |
