Clearly Zero>zero. And well once it stabilizes is it safe to say
that its as bad as it's gonna be for Falcon? Or will Crono have day
vote power? --- Should I start running now? |

Ouch, a tripling. Good thing Crono's history shows that it's just his board vote is strong, and the percent goes down quite a bit from the start! --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Crono vs. Capt. Falcon - Bracket: Crono - Vote: Falcon (25/28) |

I think part of that is bracket voting + Crono being strongest at
night. Falcon should theoretically take the day vote from Crono. ..how'd TV do against Crono vs. CJ vs. Ness? --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

Well, if you extrapolate through a bunch of crazy SFF matches, Kirby beats Luigi with 59%...still short of 62%, though. :p Maybe C. Falcon can avoid the tripling by the end...Crono didn't pick up the pace as much as I expected. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

well, from the point the match stabilized, Crono lost 5 percentage
points against Vercetti, 8 percentage points againstr MC, 4 percentage
points against Vincent, 3 percentage points against Megaman and 2
percentage points against freaking Zidane. Crono does not seem to fare well with the day vote, so i am fairly certain that Captain Falcon will take this down with the morning vote and avoid the tripling. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest.

Crono is fine with the day vote - his board vote is just massive.
Mario/Crono last year was evidence of that, I thought. he's not
dominant with the day vote or anything, but he's not Frog either. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

For the record, Ness 2k4 -- his least SFF'd value (he's behind
Auron/Sephiroth) -- is still expected to get 25.75% on Crono 2k5.
Captain Falcon has some moving to do (which he will) if he's going to
make a good case against Ness (which I don't think he will). --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

The overall prediction percentage was high, but the perfects still took a massive beating. While the -3s broke 80, the perfects barely broke 40. The group that took things the absolute worst were the 0s. All five of them had Luigi winning the match so all of them have no fallen. This may have been the last possible round one upset, but it was enough to prevent any 0s from survivng Round 1. 23 people fell off the Top 50 today.

well, you know this, but Ness in 2k5 is probably a bit above any of his
previous values. I've been a Ness >= Falcon guy since the nomination
rally tournament, but I think he could actually look better than Ness
just because he's going against a guy who isn't really universally
known. I wouldn't be amazed if more people knew who CF was than Crono. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.
