| Dante's morning/day votes might not be as bad as
some of you guys think it is. Vincent, who held off Ganondorf very well
with it, barely increased against Dante with it. Then, of course,
there's the Hayabusa match I mentioned. --- Character Battle V Score - 45/50 points Current Prediction - Yoshi vs. Dante |

Yoshi also held off Riku for the most part, correct? I'd still give Yoshi the day-vote advantage, but with nowhere near the degree of Peach/Jill. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Oh...well nevermind on that -- I was thinkin' Yoshi barely allowed a
percent to budge. Vincent's proven to do respectable with it, as has
Hayabusa, not to mention Dante joined the club of killing an FF3/6
character with it...so maybe he deserves the day-vote favorite status? Bah...tough to say, I say! --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

I say it's even. if Dante continues to cut this lead down throughout
the night and even takes the lead, I'll say it's anybody's match. *continues to preach about how the first 90 minutes of the poll is a different demographic and should be looked at separately than the "night vote"* --- xyzzy |

Jill didn't start cutting into Peach's lead until 2:30, but the stall
that preceded it was at about 380 votes, compared to about 540 for
Yoshi. Dante's got his work cut out for him if he can't start taking
the night away from a Nintendo character - he still has time, but he
better get moving. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

for Yoshi. Dante's got his work cut out for him if he can't start
taking the night away from a Nintendo character - he still has time,
but he better get moving. I agree. It really isn't likely that Yoshi's going to lose the day vote, and especially, and more importantly, the after school vote. Yoshi's got after school vote written all over him, and he doesn't have a kiddy or casual friendly opponent to take it away from him. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

They should have similar voting patterns, I think. Dante does better
during the night and does his worst during the day. Now the reverse for
Yoshi. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Peach's winning the day vote wasn't because she's that good, it's
because Jill sucks with it. Dante isn't that bad, but it's hard to say
how good Yoshi is with it. I think there's a decent chance Dante wins
it, a small chance Yoshi really takes it, but most likely Yoshi takes
it by a small amount or stalls, I think. --- Take off every sig. |

I would really doubt that Dante takes the day vote. The best case scenario for him is to have it go even. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

He's not going to roll over like Jill. Remember that Vincent, who
didn't do much with the day vote against Dante, held off Ganondorf with
it. --- Character Battle V Score - 45/50 points Current Prediction - Yoshi vs. Dante |

...Dante's not casual-friendly, or did I miss something? I wasn't ever under the impression he was, but I could be missing something, too. Characters like Leon Kennedy, Master Chief, Kratos, Lara Croft, Prince of Persia are characters I'd consider casual. I wasn't aware Dante fell under that setting. Plus, Yoshi is from Nintendo and is in Melee; I can't see the afterschoolers abandoning that. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Yoshi!! ^_^ I can't believe that this guy always seems to get to round 3 (except in 2003, but he faced Bowser that year >_>) Oh well, this match isn't over, but I hope the mean green koppa eating machine will take it. --- Supporter of Ryu. |
| transience | Posted 10/22/2006 11:29:26 PM | message detail |

yeah, I was wondering why characters like Kratos and POP would be
"casual" while Dante wouldn't be. maybe because his games are
difficult? I have no idea, but I don't think Dante is as weak in the
day as you guys think. --- xyzzy |

He's not going to roll over like Jill. Remember that Vincent, who
didn't do much with the day vote against Dante, held off Ganondorf with
it. Yeah, but Vincent is FFVII, and that really can't be minimized. Also, I recall people saying how Ganon's best time was the morning, where he did gain percentage, and not the day, where he didn't. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

He's not going to roll over like Jill. Remember that Vincent, who
didn't do much with the day vote against Dante, held off Ganondorf with
it. No one is saying he's going to just get dominated during the day time, but him winning it is a stretch just looking at previous opponents. And it's a distinct possibility that Vincent had a better day vote thanks to DoC or that we were overrating Ganon's day vote. We all know that the Zelda morning vote loses to basically nothing and that's when Ganon did his best. I sincerely doubt that Dante is going to be favored with the day vote. In all likelihood, this has a definite favoring toward Yoshi, but nothing remotely as bad as Peach. Of course, Yoshi isn't exactly looking like he'll need to make up 1400 votes either. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule.

I would still group Dante in that same group of casual-friendly
characters, though maybe on the bottom end of it. Just my perspective
on it though, as I've not played the games. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

I'd have to agree with harrich. I haven't played any dmc games either,
but dante seems very casual friendly to me. That's probably because I
know a ton of casual gamers that play dmc though, and since anecdotal
evidence is highly useless it might make my opinion on the subject a
bit off. :/ --- 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! |

I'm assuming you guys missed the "WHY IS DEVIL MAY CRY 3 SO HARD?!" bit
when it first came out? And the subsequent lowering of the difficulty
in DMC3:SE, or a easier starting mode or something. For as "casual friendly" as you guys are thinking, though, he's hardly shown it in his previous day votes. Losing it to Ratchet, Tails, Hayabusa, and Vincent while only increasing against...Terrra isn't exactly convincing. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule.

Well, Snake is casual friendly in the same sense as Dante and he sucks
with the day for whatever reason. I think it's hard to differentiate
between, say, Snake, Jill, and CJ on one hand, and Master Chief,
Kratos, and the Prince on the other. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

I don't think anyone is saying he's gonna RE-style bomb with the day
vote, but if Yoshi keeps up the stalls he isn't gonna have all that
much of a lead to protect him. --- Should I start running now? |

This is most pathetic comeback attempt since Vercetti's run against
Kefka, though that whole match was fueled by cheating that kept it
close for Kefka anyway. So this is basically the worst comeback attempt since Liquid Snake, I guess. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), Castlevania: LoI, MMZX, FFL2 |
