Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 357

FlamboyantSpy | Posted 9/11/2006 9:24:04 PM | message detail
I only had Samus at 90%, and was considering putting her at 88%, placing Nidoran F similar to Yuri, but my want for her to break 90 made me up my pick. An 85% victory here is not bad at all.

And hurray contest :) Good bracket this year too. I like this bracket more than most we've had, despite the Battle Royale thing (which isn't too bad and should be interesting itself).

This is bad news for Nintendo, IMO.

What are you talking about? Nidoran F is doing surprisingly well.

It's funny how ignorant people can still be because they don't want to admit they're wrong. When Nidoran F has 20,000 votes, they'll say 18,000 of them were joke votes.

It's funny how blind you can be to the exact same thing happening in Link/CATS.

This is clearly beyond just joke votes...IMO that was clear about 10 minutes ago. Nidoran F is apparently not a totally useless weakling, like almost all of us (including me) expected her to be.

CATS went up about 9% between 25 minutes and the end of the poll when facing Master Chief and Link. So, somewhere around 84% might be a good idea as to where Samus ends.

If this were Samus vs. Pikachu, what % would Samus have right now?

I'd say 81%.

I've gotta say 82% or so. I don't know *why* Pokemaniacs hate Pikachu so much, but that combined with the joke votes here is making it quite apparent that almost anything other than Pikachu might be able to fend for itself.

Hahaha... a nice 80% update? This is still nothing to be proud of.

Considering the last update was 76%, I'd say that's pretty good. If it's any indication that the (joke) votes have stopped coming in for Nidoran F, it's certainly good. She shouldn't have any problems with mid-80s at this point.

I blame the Zero Suit. She's getting anti-voted, people think she's "teh little girl kiddy dolls" now.

Huh? >>

If Samus can only get 80% updates throughout the match though, she won't match Mario's percentage on Joanna.

...and 92.5% seems a little out of reach.

These won't stay 80% updates. The longer we get into the match, the higher these will get; by morning, they should be around 90%.

Come on, HM. You know that the only thing that would get anti-voted more than Pikachu and Master Chief here would be Barbie.

Samus is getting anti-voted by anti-Mattel fanboys.

Yeah, I agree about seeing Mewtwo now, but I also insist on seeing Pikachu one more time -- we never got a clear reading on ANYTHING Pokemon-related. Even in the Series Contest, LoZ/Metroid screwed up what was probably our best reading yet.

It's sad when your best reading on Pokemon is the Top 100 List.....

That's insane. Link was drawing in 87% of the vote against CATS at this time. Link ended with 87.83%. We're 40 minutes into the match, Nidoran F isn't uber fodder.
Heroic Mario | Posted 9/11/2006 9:42:53 PM | message detail
I would indeed rather look at Zero Suit Samus over Power Suit Samus!


And to compare, Link had 81% at this time against CATS. They seem to be a good 4% apart, which would put Samus at 84% if they ended up staying that way (I think Samus can get up to around 87% before it's all over though).
