Matches occuring on a weekend with KH characters in them: Riku/Yoshi Rikku/Kairi Sora/Mega Man This obviously means Riku will beat Yoshi, and Sora will beat Mega Man on the day which happens to be the day before my birthday! But it'll be a close race all night until 12:00 when Sora wins by 1 vote and it becomes my birthday! >_> --- caps |

I had a thought last night: one of the reasons we haven't had any
extremely close matches since 2k4 could be because of CJayC's increased
anti-cheating strategies. Many of us have noted that, seemingly for no
reason at all, extremely close matches defy all voting trends (CT going
even with LttP in the daytime, Frog going even with Chief at night).
The only time we've even come close to a match like that since then was
with Vercetti/Kefka, and that proved to be because of cheating as well.
Now, however, Ceej's much better at catching the cheaters, so the
chances of having a nailbiter that lasts to the end are infinitesimally
small. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Sonic/Mega Man qualifies as a good close match, I think. But yeah,
cheating goes up the closer a match is, obviously, because it makes a
difference. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Well, yeah, Sonic/MM was great, but I'm more talking about the kind of
match that ends with both characters within 100 votes of each other.
That just doesn't happen anymore. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I guess it could be because of the voter shift? >_> --- Tifa vs. Ivy / Bracket: Tifa / Vote: Tifa (3/4) Tomorrow / Bracket: The Boss / Vote: The Boss |

It's not as though that was a greatly common occurrence. Only 5 matches
have ever ended within 100 votes, only 10 have finished within 300, and
only 12 within 500. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Tifa's dropping pretty hard with the day vote here. I wonder if she'll stabilize. the vote totals are pretty freaking high too. I have this funny feeling today that The Boss will be at Wesker's level. not sure why, just a general feeling. I really don't think Celes's picture as bad as everyone else seems to - I mean, we all knew we were going to get that picture. it's as recognizable as any of those FF6 pictures are and The Boss isn't exactly awesome looking. she's got, like, a mullet! and isn't exactly hot! --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

Tifa's been dropping since the beginning of the match, really. It's not just the day vote. she's got, like, a mullet And what is not hot about a woman with a mullet, I ask? --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Meh, I can't see The Boss being as forgettable as Wesker. Even people
who have played through most of the REs oftentimes have trouble
remembering who the hell he is. The Boss will just be a gauge of how truly popular MGS3 is...I mean, I know I'd never take Liquid Snake to lose to Celes, and Solidus Snake should pull it out as well. They do have that whole 'Snake' thing to help them, but still. --- Commit it to memory. |

well I figured she'd stabilize given Vyse/Tifa last year, where she
just kept climbing all day. though I guess she didn't exactly impress
vs. Luigi and Sonic.. though those two are good with the day vote so
that's not really saying anything. as for mullets.. uh... you're on your own there. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

Last year, Tifa established patterns that were different from the rest
of the FFVII characters: Strong night vote, weaker day vote. Vincent,
Cloud, and Sephiroth were different. They always get anti-board voted. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Meh, Snake/Squall is like this for me -- do you think Squall's roles in
KH and KH2 are enough to overcome the deficit he had against Snake in
their first match? Then you've got to add in Snake having MGS3 and
Subsistence since then as well as being announced for SSBB and having
MGS4 coming up... I mean, I guess it has a *shot* at happening. Kinda like Sonic has a shot at beating Samus... --- Commit it to memory. |

lol work Anyways, I hope Tifa stabilizes right where she is. I may end up within 1% on my Oracle pick, which is considerably better than I've been this contest so far. And I can't wait for Celes/Boss. Boss takes board vote, Celes takes the night, a split during the day, and Celes takes the evening?

This might actually be a close wire-to-wire match since both characters
should have identical voting trends -- great night votes and horrible
day votes. --- Character Battle V Score - 4/4 points Current Prediction - Tifa Lockhart vs. Ivy Valentine |

That's what I'm thinking. It's not a guaranteed SMB vs. Madden type deal, at least. Did anybody in the BOP/Guru take that upset? Not a one, I think. I can't blame them. If Snake/Squall was really SFF, and Snake/Sora was SFF, it's hard to imagine Squall pulling it off. At least Sonic was equal with Samus, once upon a time... --- Commit it to memory. |

A Metal Gear character sharing the day vote with a FF character? Was Terra that bad with it? Dante rose around 3% with the day vote against her. Then there's the fact that Kefka gets killed with the day vote in every match he's in... I see Boss taking the board and night vote, Celes taking the day (or going even), and the evening vote being split. --- Commit it to memory. |

Tifa/Ivy and Boss/Celes pics rawk, mainly because my prefered characters (Boss and Ivy) have the pic advantages. ummmmmm......... how exactly does The Boss have the pic advantage? she totally looks like a man. and not one of those pretty Japanese men that could pass for a girl - she looks like an ugly, truck-driving man. i immediately thought Celes looked way better. if that's the best picture of The Boss, I'd hate to see how bad she can look. that was my next thought.............. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.
