http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/11

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

Supporter of Daisy.

Not sure who to support. There's advantages and disadvantages for both.

Claire:

+She's cool
-I have Kairi
-Smurf supports her

Kairi:

+I have her in my bracket
-It's only a point
-Illumina supports her
-She probably sucks, thoguh I never played her game

Meh, probably Claire on balance, but I don't know. Whoever wins, perhaps the real loser will be me.

Sonic/MM was better because it was worth more and had recognizable characters.

Certainly a great match...altough Claire is now pulling away, the worrying day vote could pull Kairi right back into it.

Not saying which match is better! I'm saying this is the first time since then that a match has been this entertaining to watch...including the Series Contest.

I for one think it's great that we just had to wait 4 matches to see an actual comeback, especially after Claire already failed once.
---
Supporter of Daisy.

I just woke up, but how the hell did Claire pull ahead? Kairi had a pretty safe lead last night, and KH usually has a strong day vote, so I don't know WTF.

Same thing I was thinking bogalx, but I have Claire so I'm quite happy. But the difference is only 100 votes, and there's 12 hours to go. So it's still anyone's game.

If Claire wins this will be the first time I get through the first 4 matches without a wrong prediction.

Yeah, I've made some bad predictions in previous years.

Hopefully if Claire wins, she better have this same kinda upset potential against Rikku, I need me some three points man!

Hm. Mega Man/Sonic actually followed similar trends thus far, with Mega Man as Claire and Kairi as Sonic.

Mega Man won the Dead Zone (midnight to 6:00 AM, yes I remembered that MM/Sonic started three hours later, and that might explain why Kairi actually did better during the first couple of hours - more people awake to bracket vote)

Sonic won in the Morning (6:00 AM to 9:00 AM - the time grade school kids generally wake up)

Mega Man won in the Day (9:00 AM to 3:00 PM)

Sonic won the After School (3:00 PM to 7:00 PM)

Now, it gets interesting. Sonic and Mega Man split the last five hours. Claire will probably have about a 1000 vote lead by 3:00 PM, which Kairi will bite into. I'm curious to see if she can a)come back (probably, but, Mega Man swung more votes over the day than Sonic in the after school), and b)hold on during the last few hours.

You guys need to stop looking at 5 minute updates and expand to 15. Aberrations like that are expected, and usually fixed over the 15 minute period. That was Claire's worst 5 min votal in quite some time, and Kairi's best. Chances are it'll even out over the next two 5 min updates, and Claire will have a net gain over the 15 minutes.

Or I'm wrong and Kairi's coming back already, but I'll take my chances.

Well, this is what the contest is all about. Leaving us arguing about who's getting more votes in the day, at night, and so on. The end result can only be guessed at this point.

Go Claire!

So how much time until the americans get out of school?

I actually see this a pretty close match now. And i'm talking that 7 vote difference match (whichever it was) type.


Just 3 hours ago we were almost on the verge of giving up for Claire when she was behind by more than 500 votes. Amazing comeback.

And people said the the day votes will favour Kaiki. I see Smurf's scored quire negative reputation here, but all this time he's been right all along.
---
On December 9,2001,Chris Jericho brought the argument to an end when he became the first superstar to unify the World Championship Titles of both WCW and WWF.

I would hardly call it an amazing comeback, it is extremely consistent with the kids are in school right now vote. East coast kids should be getting out in another two hours or so, maybe three.

US gets out of school between 2:00-5:00 depending on the state and what level of schooling your in.

Are we so sure that Kairi will be able to win the after school vote? Has Kingdom Hearts done traditionally well during that time because I can't remember any specific examples.

I'm not saying that she won't do well there, but for the sake of my bracket I hope that she doesn't. I mean, everyone expected Kairi to win the day vote and look what just happened.

This is a glitch at the moment. The day vote won't start proper for another 3 hours. At which point Kairi will start gaining.

Until then, the best she can do will be stalling Claire. And honestly, if that stalling is starting already. It's not a good sign for Claire.

I expect Kairi to edge the after school vote. I'd expect a 500 vote swing or so, which is relatively small.
But if Claire doesn't get moving, it'll be large enough to win the match for Kairi.

Yeah, the day vote doesn't start during the school year 'till around 3 Eastern. Go Claire!
---
"........!" ~Magus

I think that saying that Kairi will definitely get the day vote is based on the assumption that people will vote for her just because she's from Kingdom Hearts. I don't think that's going to be the case.

Yes.

Sora did (very) well during the day on Alucard, Kingdom Hearts on Castlevania and Metal Gear, and Riku on Frog. However, none of them are exactly day vote champions, so perhaps Kingdom Heart's day vote reputation is exaggerated. We'll find out if Claire can stand up to it soon enough.

It was then when Kingdom Hearts finally made its comeback against Soul Calibur and built its lead over 1000.

Kingdom Hearts has almost always won the after school vote. That's essentially the "day vote" when it's a weekday and kids are in school because it is extremely limited in the morning during the start times.

---
...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

It's done well with the day vote, but it's not a beast and hardly a sure thing that Kairi will win it, especially since Resi isn't particularly bad with the day vote.

Just to put it out there, the KH crew has had the luxury of facing some pretty bad day vote competitors.

Resident Evil is closer to the group Kingdom Hearts has won it against, too.

Fighting games, along with kefka are the weeds of the day vote. Taking it aganist SC is nothing to be proud of.
