Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 365

Erm...

...

I hate ZeldaFAQs.


Reduce Zelda's strength by 5% and the result would barely change at all. When looking at a blowout, the weaker character's strength is far more important than the stronger character's.

Zelda got 85.21% on the latest update. It's brutal already, and this isn't even the daytime.

This match is great! Bring the percentage up to 84.75% Zelda, you can do it!

Crazy. Zelda's pulled in 85%+ that update. This makes Carmen really, really weak.



Or...Carmen is a midcarder and Zelda's at Link's level.

This is just awesome. Assuming Zelda finishes with 83% (and assuming she remained constant since last year), how weak does that make Carmen?

Why is it awesome that Carmen is (apparently) weak? One of the great icons of edutainment, only rivaled by the likes of games like Oregon Trail...

And yes, HO HO, I cast doubt upon said weakness! Carmen would still be a match for any gumshoe this side of the Mississippi!

Heh...it would have really sucked for KOS-MOS, but I wish she would have been traded with Carmen right now. Amy/Carmen just feels like a match that should be debated, even after the ass-kicking we're seeing right now.

FastFalcon05 | Posted 9/19/2006 9:28:44 PM | message detail
In considering Ganon/Vincent, it was enough to know that Vincent more or less equaled Squall to safely choose Ganondorf (and Bowser) over him.

Granted, he did have AC and DoC, but, eh, I have confidence in Ganondorf, even though I would have more confidence in Bowser. Mario didn't make him look worse than CATS.

Nah, I'm still taking Daisy to be weaker (statistically) than Carmen -- Peach should be too much more below Zelda to let most any kind of a day-vote that would screw Carmen over for that kind of ranking.

Fun Fact: No contest entrant has ever broken 90,000 votes in its first match and then gone on to lose in round two.

Peach not only broke 90k in an SFF match, but her match with Daisy (who is a joke that most people only know as a Mario sports title filler character these days) only scored 4k less total votes than Jill/Sheena. I think any doubt about who the favorite is between these two can be laid to rest, given that SFF matches usually have much lower vote outputs than everything else.

If Zelda remained constant and ends up with 85%, that would put Carmen at ~9% on Link 2005. That'd project to just slip by her and get a win. Heh.

Fun fact: 90k used to require basically a 90-10 match to pull off.

No... I really don't think you can read anything off Peach/Daisy. No matter had Peach got 80 or 60. I still say Jill breaks 60% on Peach with ease.

Considering how bad Peach would beat down Sheena, I don't think Jill is going to get close to breaking 60%. I'm not even expecting her to win.
