So...woo at Ganon legitimately at 32% on Base Link (or wherever Vincent was)!

Vincent definitely benefits from DoC, no matter how minimal. If this goes 50/50, I'd say it puts Ganon around 36.5% on BL.

He lost his day vote before FF:DC. Now we don't know how he will do with his mainstream game

His 200,000 copies sold game with an average of about 60% at GameRankings is going to make him better with the day vote, huh?

Looking at some Zelda related matches, they seem to slaughter with the morning vote and keep it even with FF throughout the afternoon.

That means Vincent needs to pick up some steam as we get into the dead hours and survive the morning onslaught. Then it's smooth sailing from there.

Character Battle V Score - 24/25 points
Current Prediction - Ganondorf vs. Vincent Valentine
Haste_2 | Posted 10/6/2006 9:44:52 PM | message detail
Reasons I'm pulling for Vincent to win in a squeaker:
-my bracket, dang it!
-more perfects get wiped out, most likely...the more, the merrier.
-more evidence that Vincent likely didn't overperform on Crono... the more accurate the SC2K5 x-stats, the merrier!

Reasons I'm pulling for Ganondor to win 52/48f:
-I like him slightly better
-All those guys claiming Ganondorf is so 0verr4ted get owned...of course, this is especially if Ganondorf wins somewhat handily.
-Yoshi has a better shot against Dante, since it puts the Devil Division = Overrated stuff in some question, again. Again, this is especially if Ganondorf wins handily.

I don't care enough about either character to have a major interest in the match (Though I'm pulling for Vincent since I started FF7 a few weeks back), but I'm glad were finally having another good match here!

Personally I'd say anywhere over 4k and he's the definite favourite (and likely victor) and anywhere under 2,500 and he's the undersog unless his day vote has gotten better somehow from DoC (even though mainstream doesn't mean good day vote in quite a few cases).

1700 - 2000, any less that match will be still up in the air. People are overestimating Ganondorf's strength.

I'd say there overestimating his day vote more than his strength. I pretty much agree with your numbers too.

I'm hardly saying Ganon has a phenomonal day vote, it's highly average with a good morning vote from what I can tell. But when dealing with someone who puts up better numbers during the night against crono and dante, that's not exactly encouraging for vincent.

Any game that sells 200K copies is obviously not mainstream. Anyone believing otherwise is just a desperate Vincent supporter. Will it do something for him? Probably, but it'll be very minimal.

Heroic Mario | Posted 10/6/2006 9:50:14 PM | message detail
DoC was mainstream?

Considering its sales, it's more of a cult RPG-ish type thing. Although it got much more advertising and press (even if it was bad press) than any cult RPG. But it's not going to translate into a better day vote or anything.
