Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 378

After getting paranoid when Castlevania was beating halo, because of erratic vote patterns and being wrong, I don't think I'm ready to ever call potential vote stuffing again unless it's really, really obvious. >_>

A slight decrease for Ganon there.

KEEP THE LEAD GANON!

Ganon dropped hard...I guess he decided to keep things interesting and let Vincent win that one.

Ganon just has to hold strong right now. If he can do that, he'll be looking awesome heading into the day vote!

In all honesty, Vincent isn't looking good at all right now. I expected him to be winning by 200 at this point.

Z1mZum won the Guru Contest. I picked Pokemon over Metroid, GTA over Warcraft, Halo over CV, Street Fighter over RE, and FF over Zelda.
YoAriel33 | Posted 10/6/2006 9:32:26 PM | message detail
Decent first 30 minutes for Ganon there. Unless the Zelda series is absolutely, positively unstoppable this year, he should be trailing for the next few hours and during the night vote. Of course, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll run away with the morning and day votes, so Vincent needs to make his move now.

It wasn't that obvious when that one guy got busted for it (I think last year). It would be awesome if this is legitimate and all, though.

Why is it so certain that Ganondorf will win the day vote? He lost it against Sephiroth.

Character Battle V Score: 25/25
Current Prediction: Ganondorf vs. Vincent Valentine
dragoontheguy | Posted 10/6/2006 9:34:06 PM | message detail
I honestly think that if vincent can't take over a 2k lead by the time the day vote hits, his chances at victory are slim to none. I mean, when you can't win the day vote (I'm purely talking about percentages here, not actually winning) against dante or Crono, that's kind of telling of his lack of daytime strength and total domination at night.

Because he had an absolutely insane board vote.

Not to mention he lost the afternoon vote to Yuna and Auron. But he did get the morning against both of them.

Considering they're both from the same videogame, I wouldn't say there's a world of difference between their voting patterns.

There's the fact that Sephiroth was definitely stronger than him in every way. The fact that Ganon was able to keep it close for a bit doesn't mean he has a great night vote and a terrible day vote. This match should be strikingly similar to Link and Cloud where Cloud was favored during the night and Link was favored during the day.

Uhhhh he lost it because there was such a huge rally for Ganon at the beginning of the match. He had nowhere to go but down from 50-50ing with Sephy...

Vincent lost his to Dante and Crono, so it's not like he's great with it. Ganon isn't a day vote monster, but he'll easy receive the favoring in this match.

Yuna/Ganon had something EXTREMELY wrong going on with that day vote. Those updates were so sporadic it wasn't even funny.
