Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 403

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/23/2006 2:01:13 PM | message detail
Seeing as how Yoshi will push this gap to at least 1000, Dante will need the evening and night votes from hell. It took him hours to erase Yoshi's 600 vote lead last night, so he's pretty much done for.

In short, you all suck. Now let's all laugh at me and how my speed bracket is actually doing better than my serious bracket at this point!

Same here. By 2 points right now, and worse still my zero bracket is only at 2 points. Both my non-serious brackets have more success >_<

HM, Leon and creative were the most outspoken against LUEshi 402, and they all have Dante in their brackets. Nice coincidence.

It's clearly a conspiracy. We need Mulder, Sherlock Holmes and Batman in here now!

You were saying?

Dante has no chance.


Watch. Yoshi will probably win the next update by like 5 and then the one after that by 60.

People said that Jill had no chance, and we all saw what happened.

I want Dante to make a minor push. Yoshi winning by 402 would be priceless.

~*ST*~


Peach was still coming back when people said that. Plus, she only had a 400 lead at best. Yoshi is lookin got push 1000, and Dante isn't as good at the night vote as Jill as.

Dante has no chance.

I see that someone had been manually updating a lot of the updates that weren't caught on time. Thanks for that :)

You're welcome. <3

Yoshi's percentage by the hour:

17:00 | 52.44%
16:00 | 52.01%
15:00 | 51.15%
14:00 | 48.78%
13:00 | 47.99%
12:00 | 49.14%
11:00 | 50.57%
10:00 | 50.67%
09:00 | 50.37%
08:00 | 51.65%
07:00 | 51.64%
06:00 | 48.75%
05:00 | 47.14%
04:00 | 47.17%
03:00 | 48.13%
02:00 | 49.62%
01:00 | 52.75%

Based on what Dante was able to do with the first night vote, and during school vote, and what Yoshi's doing now, I'd say this match is safely in the paws of the little green dino.

It took him hours to erase Yoshi's 600 vote lead last night,

Vote traffic will also be much heavier later today that during the dead hours.

The problem is that he won't be dominating the updates by as match.

I didn't say steadily decreasing I said consistently getting updates where he gains less. That doesn't mean every update, but in the past half hour he's had a handful of very small gains.

I don't see how Dante can come back from this. Even if he wins updates consistently in the evening, the amount he'll need to take off after Yoshi finishes dominating during the day will be insane. Dante isin't Jill and I doubt Yoshi is Peach either with the evening vote.

Which matters nothing when he's still getting 50 votes gains as well.

Yoshi has gained 320 in one hour.

"Dante isn't Jill" is a nice battle cry. Historically, Dante is freakishly consistent during his matches, though his trend is to lose percentage overall. He might be done if he doesn't get this under control quick.

Same thing, jeez.

But seriously, instead of rushing upstairs to watch my stuff, I have it set to auto-record. That way I got to pwn some heads during 402 on top of seeing Yoshi take a commanding lead. And now I get to go back and watch what I missed. It rules.

I've got Yoshi, and am one of his biggest fans, and can't say I was overly thrilled. LUEshi has never been very entertaining, nor should it be associated with LUE, as they didn't even create it. Also, we never did anything for the 200th topic when a few people had wanted to, so I see no reason to celebrate an arbitrary day for a random ASCII. Plus, since when do we care about LUE here; it's really overrated.

Moving on, THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR SUPREME YOSHI JUSTICE!

Luigi for sure. Dante might be a bit stronger than Zero, but I don't think it's enough to make up the difference.
