First, stick to the subject you started on. You have been talking about
his ridiculous starts as much as/more than how his vote patterns line
up to other matches. And, as I have said, it's too small an amount to
matter. Second, his voting trends obviously won't match vote for vote with another battle, a fact I have quite obviously made clear a number of times. You shouldn't bother trying to convince anyone, least of all yourself, that the trends will suddenly change and Ganon will suddenly be king of the day when he never was before. He may do better with the day, but it will not be by much, and it certainly won't be enough to matter if he couldn't do it before. From the look of things, he couldn't. Third, if anything... the shift in voting trends is actually against Ganon. Look at MC, everyone expected his day vote to save him and it never even came. If anytihng, you should be worried that there will be no day-vote upswing and that Ganon is already as good as dead. --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message.

Ganondorf Vs. Yuna 3:30 - 6:00 - 59.65% 6:00 - 9:00 - 59.30% 9:00 - 12:00 - 64.16% 12:00 - 15:00 -63.45% 15:00 - 18:00 - 60.71% 18:00 - 21:00 - 59.81% 21:00 - 24:00 - 59.17% Ganondorf Vs. Auron 3:30 - 6:00 - 51.52% 6:00 - 9:00 - 54.83% 9:00 - 12:00 - 56.20% 12:00 - 15:00 -54.99% 15:00 - 18:00 - 53.98% 18:00 - 21:00 - 54.18% 21:00 - 24:00 - 52.26% Seems like Vincent will have to weather 9:00 - 12:00 the most against Ganondorf. Both of those matches weren't too different except the for the odd fact that Yuna performed about equally from 3:30 to 9:00 whereas Auron took a huge dip after the first few hours. Well... whatever. At his best, Ganondorf was able to make a swing of about 5% of the current vote at his best times. Vincent's % in the last hour and a half: 54.72% I should probably wait until 6:00 to take Vincent's % for comparison, but I'm impatient. So if trends hold up, Ganondorf will be able to gain on Vincent in the morning hours, but only barely. Getting 51%, maybe a little more of the vote for several hours. But then it should go back closer to Vincent's dominance. That's if trends hold up, of course. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

So Vincent managed 55% in that time period. Hah, even if Ganondorf manages a good day vote, the best he could realistically hope for is a 50-50 match at that point. And that's if Vincent is equally as good in the day as an FFX character. Call me crazy, but I think an FF7 character would be a little more day-based than an FFX character. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Using the X-Stats calculator, this is what we get when we use their Summer 2005 values. Ganondorf (2005c) VS Vincent (2005c) Ganondorf has a strength of 33.64. Vincent has a strength of 35.58. Vincent wins with 52.73% of the vote! A win of 5,259 with 96,454 total votes cast. This match is coming close to that and that was pre-DoC. Sure the day vote didn't hit yet, but since Dante and Squall also seem to be suggesting so, the way this match is currently going pretty much proves one thing: The Devil Division is likely NOT overrated. (Or that it is overrated slightly and DoC is like DMC3:SE in that it's boosting Vincent/Dante back to their 2005 value) Ganon's day vote better be all it's currently hyped up to be if he's going to make a comeback. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

If that's true, I'll have a look at lol-xstats to see what Sonic will get on Vincent... Sonic (2005c) VS Vincent (2005c) Sonic has a strength of 38.50. Vincent has a strength of 35.58. Sonic wins with 53.79% of the vote! A win of 7,080 with 93,345 total votes cast. Right. If Sonic exceeds that, we're looking at a Sonic boost and he's looking hotter on Crono. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 25/25 Today:Sonic |

Donkey Kong had 55% on Master Chief in the morning, not to mention a
2000 vote lead. Vincent's far worse with the day vote than Donkey Kong,
and this match is going to get way more votes than that match did. This
is far from over. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

When you take into account that... A: Ganondorf is going to need an incoming vote swing of 5%. B: At his peak, that's what Ganondorf managed against both Yuna and Auron C: That peak only lasted for a few hours anyway D: Vincent, an FF7 character, is liably better in the day than a FFX character anyway Ganondorf's odds don't look too good --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

so, wait - why are people saying that Dante lost the day vote to Dante?
after checking the updates, it looks like Vincent actually won the
morning vote against Dante and went pretty even with him the rest of
the day. here's what Vincent had at each 3-hour interval (not what
percentage of votes he pulled in during that period, just his total
percentage at that time) - Vincent's percentage's against Dante - @ 3:00 (6 AM EST) - 53.39% @ 6:00 (9 AM EST) - 53.72% @ 9:00 (noon EST) - 53.98% @12:00 (3 PM EST) - 53.98% @15:00 (6 PM EST) - 53.97% @ 18:00 (9 PM EST) - 53.90% @ 21:00 (midnite EST) - 53.96% @ 24:00 (3 AM EST) - 54.00% --- This is cyko posting from a friend's house!!! >_> |
