True, but Mega Man was supposed to put the match away with the after
school vote, too, and Sonic uncharacteristically started gaining again. wasn't this the first match after school started? the morning / day vote was just delayed. I figured Sonic would be best in the afterschool vote now instead of the morning / afternoon. it's awfully tough to increase your percentage when you're already at 80% anyway. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Sonic needs to gain about 0.5% more, Ryu shouldn't do better than him... Granted that was before Cats turned to the real joke of this contest, but still. --- Supporter of Alucard. |

How realistic is Sonic getting, say...81 or 81.5? I'm not up on voting
patterns towards the end of the match, given I'm usually asleep when
that happens. Well, I'd like to think that was more Riku than anything else... Mmm. I thought of Riku when I made that post, but had those divisions been reversed, then it would have been CATS doing the exposing...put it this way, CATS provided the last piece of evidence to prove the overratedness of that group. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 25/25 Today:Sonic |

Here's a question: Which matches have the potential to make you mark out, even if the person you like more loses. For example, I know The Boss will lose to Tifa, but I'll totally mark out if she gets 35 or 40 or something. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 25/25 Today:Sonic |

Is Kairi's value based off Claire's loss to Tidus? I hope there's no SFF against Rikku, so we can get a less crazy value. --- caps |

Eh, CATS or Phoenix doing well would have been the main ones to make me
mark out, and those have already passed without happening. My favorite
remaining characters in the main bracket are Mega Man and Crono, so I'm
more likely to be depressed about them failing to meet expectations
rather than excited about them exceeding expectations. (I did totally
love MM vs Yoshi last year). So, I guess my final answer is Mega Man or
Crono over Samus. That would make me go crazy. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

One positive for CATS here is that since it looks like his massive
board vote has lost its potency, we won't see the quite the swings as
in his past matches; though Sonic will still rip him apart in the day. ...and yet again, we have a demonstration of why the new poll time sucks. Darn you Cjay I like the idea of Vincent/Crono becoming the next Mario/Crono, but at the expense of Sonic's male bracket victory? No. Vincent/Crono is nowhere close to becoming the next Mario/Crono, considering that their first match wasn't remotely close or controversial. Just like Magus, Frog will likely never be as strong as he was in his debut, heavily bandwagoned year. Put him up against Liquid again and I doubt he breaks 49%. Eh, Liquid is the one Frog opponent I would take Frog to do as well or better against next time. Like Frog, he was new, and he was the bracket favorite in that match... and he bombed even harder than Frog in his next contest. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

Well, Peach is entirely a guess (and admittedly biased, though I'm starting to come around on the idea that she might
win against Jill), and after Axel's fine performance against Mega Man
(which puts him a little too close to where Riku is based on 2005
Yoshi), I'm thinking Yoshi's probably too low, though we all could've
guessed that anyway. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 2: W, 52-14 vs. Etna |

Note that Riku has to be worth 30.57% on BL for Yoshi to equal that
Dante value, but in the end, it's just a guess assuming that it was
Dante rising instead of Hayabusa falling, and that there was no
overperformance involved. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 2: W, 52-14 vs. Etna |

Looking at previous matches, Vincent's best time seems to be the night
vote(s), while his worst is the morning vote. Ganon dominates with the
morning vote, isn't bad with the second night vote, sucks with the
first night vote, and is okay with the afternoon vote. Ganon's amazing
with the board vote, while Vincent's pretty much a board vote pansy.
So, we should see Ganon start on top, Vincent coming up to peak at
~6-7AM, followed by a huge Ganon smash in the morning. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |
