Ouch.... looks like this aint over yet. Think SF will dominate until morning and snatch the day vote?

I sure hope so, Turtle. And SF didn't have an abnormal gain there either, RE just dropped like 40 votes.

That was all RE falling, for what it's worth. SF had the exact same number of votes for those two updates.

Karma Hunter | Posted 7/24/2006 10:53:07 PM | message detail
Every time I see something pertaining to Street Fighter getting the day vote I chuckle. That should tell you what I think of its chances.

If it *does* get the day vote...geez, I don't know. It'll be cliche to blame the picture, but...WELL, LOOK AT IT!!!

There are few cases where a match picture makes THAT much of a difference.

I have a feeling this will be one of those cases. Ryu and the Hadoken are a friggen ICON. Then RE has that garbage.

Behind them all, since she wasn't in RE4. For what it's worth, I still don't get this Ryu support. Ryu 2k5 is barely above Dante 2k4. And Ryu has more reason to be overrated. Unless you're counting on some random fluctation putting him over the top, Dante is the safe pick.

Something was weird about Ryu in SC2K5 though. He had been consistent in each of the three previous contests. Something...FISHY!

Seriously though, Solid Snake scored 57% on Ryu in 2k3. Is it that strange to think in his strongest year and that he could score roughly 3% more on him?

I'll tell ya what was so fishy: SF/MK SFF. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about -- Bowser was in the kart and we all know it.

Tell me MK wouldn't stand a chance against SF now!

Well, there's a couple of reasons for Ryu's value to be questionable...aside from 2k2, which being in the West Division and four years back isn't worth that much. Ryu was the first beneficiary of Solid Snake in the sprite round in 2k3 (admittedly, that was probably the best sprite picture of Snake he's ever had, but Ryu was damn impressive). Ryu is *very* high in 2k4, and with SFAC's release and him and KOS-MOS disappointing in 2k5, something's up there for me too.

Even if you take all his previous stat values as legitimate, KOS-MOS is still puzzling.

Ryu was just embarrassed by seeing a woman wearing so few clothes! He wasn't used to it!

And it carried over into the match with Bowser!

KOS-MOS pulled a Tifa/Vyse.

Either that, or that's the effect of Xenosaga Episode II with no TJF for ya...

You would know from experience, Leon.

Anyway, I'm out. I expect to see SF either come close to the lead or take it before I wake up and see it drown in the day vote. Late.

Not worried at all. This is still SF's strongest time.

So what this match will come down to is whether or not SF can break it's habit of bombing the day vote by utilizing the pic advantage.

There have been lots of really strange bursts. I wonder if it's natural variance or really blatant cheating (seriously, I do wonder).

SF is the last series I'd expect cheating from. quite often, there's weird updates during the night. Castlevania/Halo was full of them.
