Do keep in mind how Vincent jumped Dante after the five-minute mark last year...so, let's watch -- it oughta be good.

Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.
It still hurts to be rear-ended like that.....

Z1mZum won the Guru Contest. I picked Pokemon over Metroid, GTA over Warcraft, Halo over CV, Street Fighter over RE, and FF over Zelda.
dragoontheguy | Posted 10/6/2006 9:04:49 PM | message detail
Even expecting Ganon to win the board vote, seeing him with 66% when I voted was not a pretty sight. But since about 30 seconds in Vincent has been cutting the lead...

I noticed gannon actually increasing his lead slightly for about thde last ten seconds... which is irrelevent since anything can change after the first minute anyways. I mean, those of us who post in the stats topics are often accused of calling a match after ten minutes, and here we are trying to make sense of one minute of randomness. >_>
---
When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory!

Nice update... I don't feel safe in the slightest yet with my ganon pick yet, if he increases his lead substantially again next update it should be clear sailing though.

Instant Oracle Stats
Ganondorf - 67 picks ; Vincent Valentine - 64 picks
The Top 10 is split 5/5
The Top 20 is split 10/10
The Top 30 is split...you guessed it 15/15

Average Vincent prediction: 52.07%
Average Ganondorf prediction: 53.30% (52.30% if you remove 4 clear outliers)

Consensus: Ganondorf with 50.68% (50.10% without the outliers)

It's almost pretty

Yeah. I'm not convinced that Ganon has this quite yet. I want to see more of these lead increasing updates for a bit. If he can hold this for a while, at least get his lead to around 500, I'll feel a bit more calm...

From: KingBartz
Ganon takes an early lead, Vinny evens it up with the day vote.

Uhh... all the other FF7 characters get night vote vs. LoZ characters... unless I'm missing some weird anomoly with Vincent/Ganon.

Ganon looks SHARP, not HOT! Know the difference!

On anther note, I was reading a book about names...apparently the name "Gannon" means "light-skinned". Yeah, I know there's an extra "n" added, but it's still interesting!
