This isn't a concern so much as a random inquiry.

Anyway, sometimes the percentages at the beginning of polls are haywire. A recent example:

The Legend of Zelda 71.82% 79
Metal Gear 32.73% 36
TOTAL VOTES 110

You know more about computers than I ever will (I suck with them, to be honest); if you're bored enough, can you explain how and why such a deviation from a 100% total happens? I'm rather intrigued by it.

This happens when votes come in as the page is being generated. Only happens in the first mad rush of the day.


I seriously never knew that.

And just for the sake of making crappy adjustments:


If Mario > Smash 65-35, and GTA > WC (among typical GF voters) 52.5-47.5 , then:


FF 50.00%
Mario 47.00%
Smash 32.90%
Sonic 27.86%
MM 25.81%
RE 23.94%
SF 23.59%
MK 21.62%
GTA 18.67%
WC 17.74%
TES 16.62%
DMC 16.23%
DQ 15.55%
Diablo 14.02%
Madden 7.32%
Shadow 5.86%

I don't like having DMC under TES, but it doesn't look right above GTA either. Bottom line: X-Stats suck.

Squall Leonhart wins over anyone who isn't Noble Nine from this point forward.

What happened to Vincent? I guess you're giving Squall a KH2 boost, which is fine, but I think Vincent would have boosted over the last year as well.

Anywho, I'd probably take Squall over Auron, but only by a hair.

WilhuffTarkin | Posted 7/31/2006 4:01:08 PM | message detail
Aye, there's Ganondorf, Bowser, and Vincent as well, eh?

That's why I'm hoping for some of those matches this time... Say it's eight by eight again, and I'd be holding out for this:

1. Snake
8. -
5. -
4. -
3. Ganondorf
6. -
7. -
2. Squall

Then we'd also get to see either Snake vs. Ganondorf, or a rematch of Snake and Squall.

I would pick Squall to defeat Vincent in a rematch. I refuse to pick against him when he has a realistic chance to win.

Sort of like Lopen, who will take Master Chief or Dante, only he does it even when it's not realistic. I'd be confident to take Squall against Ganondorf. I don't think he's quite the Noble Nine breaker people think he is. Sonic whipped Diablo much harder than Ganon did, and Sonic's on the lower end of the Noble Nine.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you did. You do tend to make outlandish claims, such as FFVIII rSFFing FFVII, even though CT can't pull any normal SFF on it.

Fun fact: I've perfectly predicted Master Chief's path in every contest.

I don't overestimate him!

And no, I didn't say FF VIII rSFFed FF VII. I said Squall rSFFed Vincent. There's a big difference... with logic. Logic that you understandably refuse to listen to, but logic nonetheless. I'm not saying Squall rSFFed Cloud or anything stupid like that.

And hell, I'd say I overestimate Dante to a reasonable degree too. A 46-54 match is not a sure loss. Okay, so there was that Devil May Cry thing... but I still say that was more underestimating Sonic. I had DMC losing to SSBM with ease!

Squall rSFFing Vincent because he's the main character and Vincent's optional doesn't resonate with me. We might as well say Dante rSFF'd Vincent, too!

A 46-54 match is not a sure loss

It'd be more than 54/46 in favor of Squall after KHII.

I'm not convinced that Squall couldn't do the same thing (if not beat Bowser outright) or that Kirby didn't overperform to an extent.

After KHII, Squall/Kirby wouldn't be close. Actually, I doubt it would've really been that close last year. Kirby certainly would've done better than in 2004, but I wouldn't dare to pick him to outright win.

The big difference is that the FFVIII fanbase is essentially completely engulfed by the FFVII fanbase. It's not so much because Vincent is optional, but that Squall is main. I'd take Squall to rSFF (maybe hold the r) Tifa or Aeris... or anyone that isn't the commanding favorite of their respective FF game...

And if you look at the X-Stats... all of the things that look way out of place are on Squall's side. Kerrigan and Terra were unknowns... and I couldn't imagine them (particularly Terra) being that much lower, and Dante was coming off the new massively popular DMC3! And he might've been underestimated the year before because of his... viewtifulness.

Yeah, that's right... massively popular. Don't deny it...

(Is the argument a dead horse yet?)

Vincent would beat Squall by an even larger margin than he did before if they had a rematch. Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, and whatever Square influx we see should benefit him far more than Squall from KH2.
