No, but I think he did better with it against Jill twice than Peach did
(someobdy check this please, I'm about to go to bed), and he still
chopped down on Zero decently last year with it too. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Hayabusa chipped at Zero's percentage during the day in that match (and
we all saw what Zero did to Luigi's percentage after he exploded in the
morning). --- Character Battle V Score - 45/50 points Current Prediction - Yoshi vs. Dante |

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. Kuja/MH was very similar. Don't be so quick to call this yet. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

At least the second time, Hayabusa brought Jill down from 54% to -27 votes at the end. Peach only brought her down from 51%. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

No, but I think he did better with it against Jill twice than Peach
did (someobdy check this please, I'm about to go to bed), and he still
chopped down on Zero decently last year with it too. Percentage-wise, he did do better than Peach. But he never had to overcome a 1400 vote lead with it. Jill's highest lead was somewhere around 800 votes. If you go from 6:00 AM, which is generally when the day vote starts I believe, until the end of the poll there was a whopping .24% taken off from Zero. If you go from the first hour, he took about 2% off. Zero's not exactly someone with a good day vote either, which just goes right back to the point of certain "casual friendly" characters just not being good with it. Dante's not horrible with the day vote, but he's really quite average at the very best. The only character he's ever done something noticeably positive was against Terra Branford.

Just to make sure, but do we all believe that Dante will have the lead
at some point in this match? Yoshi HAD been holding off nicely for
awhile, though Dante's beginning to deal nice damage. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Dante could get the lead, but Yoshi is doing his darndest to hold on until the day. This Dante with the day vote talk is reminding me of the FF/Zelda comeback rambling...for all the high hoping that FF would perhaps do something or at least hold on during the day, it just ended up getting smashed. FF made it respectable by the end despite never having a chance, and I more or less expect the same of Dante here. But I don't expect a win. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Yoshi's percentage by hour: 00:00 - 01:00 - 52.56% 01:00 - 02:00 - 49.60% 02:00 - 03:00 - 49.46% not much of a change. Dante needs to get moving or he's in for a bigtime uphill battle. --- xyzzy |

I don't think he'll get a Jill lead but he shouldn't choke as bad either so it should be a good enough match. --- Should I start running now? |
HaRRicH | Posted 10/23/2006 12:08:11 AM | message detail |
MC/Sub-Zero went alot like LoZ/FF, in that the one favored never stood
a chance and allowed the upset, yet the loser still made it more
respectable by the end of it. Similar percentages, too... ...I find it funny that Sub-Zero had the lead at the five-minute update and never looked back though -- for it being as close as it was and for as many people as there was who took MC, he never saw the lead for more than, what, a minute or two? --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

That was due to timing though. MC was winning updates for the last third of the match. --- Take off every sig. |

Dante finally gets within 400 votes. At this point in their match, Peach was up by 147. Peach also relinquished the lead to Jill 35 minutes from now, so it seems that Yoshi will hold on for a good while longer at the very least. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

I would like to think that Dante will win this but I don't have any real confidence in him. If you look at the gains Dante is making, it isn't because he's doing any better, it's because Yoshi is tailing off. I personally think Dante will build a lead, not dissimilar to Jill's and then Yoshi will start eating into it again. It'll be close like that match too, probably not as close, but close nonetheless. --- Contest Score: 47/50 Todays Pick: Dante |
MyworldisSmurf | Posted 10/23/2006 1:08:39 AM | message detail |
Whenever a character builds a sizeable lead in the early stages, they
always go on to win it. Even if they lose the lead for a while. The only exception I can think to this is Knuckles v Magus. --- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism. FOREVER INFERIOR TO HARMONICA. |

What's there to talk about? We've seen this pattern plenty of times
before and we know how it's going to end. Dante would need a miracle to
win this, and he hasn't gotten it so far so, again, what is there to
talk about? --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

We need someone to be overly delusional about the result or some claims
of vote stuffing or something along those lines for us to discuss. So
far it doesn't look too promising. --- Contest Score: 47/50 Todays Pick: Dante |

Looks like Dante will have the lead for a good three hours or more. Not

was, say, a day ago. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |
