Assuming Freeman is constant from last year, Sora would be pegged
roughly equal to Tidus 2k5. Of course, there's still the day vote to
boost Sora through the roof, but that's where he stands now. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Sora is following the path of Tidus. He's slowly declining through the
years, while Riku and Kairi continue to do great and prove that no one
likes Sora and Tidus. If Sora doesn't win the day vote here, like he couldn't against Tingle, I'll lose all hope in him. --- caps |

Sora's looking pretty all right here, he stopped bleeding percentage
and the morning cometh. I'd say it's likely he'll get up to 65% with
the day vote unless his day vote is weaker than the other KH
characters' for some reason. looking back, Leon gained about 2-3% on
him once morning hit and Leon is probably average during the daytime.
if Sora is above average (like he should be) he could really beat down
Freeman with the afterschool vote. --- xyzzy |

Keep in mind this is a textbook example of the poll time affecting
things. GF was getting higher than the 38.63% peak throughout the
night, just his total percentage is that low because of the opening
hour or so. Even the next two hours hurt the ability for swings; the
more votes there are, the more votes you need to affect the current
percentage. So if Leon could swing 3% then, he really wouldn't now. If you compared his peak incoming votes vs his bottom, that would be similar, and you'd expect the differece in Sora's to be higher, but it could very well be a total swing of less than 3%, or not much more. --- Take off every sig. |

| Xuxon | Posted 10/24/2006 3:48:38 AM | message detail |
|
Really, the main thing is that characters have more polarized day/night
swings during school days, I think. That's why Sora could swing
significantly more than 3%. --- Take off every sig. |

now that's more like the Sora i know! he's gone up 0.2% in under 20
minutes. keep it up! even though he's not doing quite as well as i had
hoped, at least Phoenix will wind up above Tingle in the final stats.
justice is served! --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

I think this is proof that Freeman is just not very linear. I think
Lopen first suggested this idea - the stronger Freeman's opponents are,
the better he looks. Why is everyone suddenly getting credit for MY ideas? And it looks like my initial projections of Gordon from my stats aren't going to be far off, after all. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

I want Sora to do bad...but in the other hand,I want to see KH

fine --- laff |

By making the universe implode last round, Gordon has transformed into
ULTRAGORDON, so he is now able to resist KH's morning and, more
importantly, after-school vote. That is my theory, at least for now. [Belthasar] --- CB5 Oracle Challenge - Today's prediction: Sora with 62.59% |

Assuming Sora ends at about 64%, he would be projected to beat last
year's Leon with over 56%. That's better than what Bowser did this
year. Factoring in Leon's PS2 release boost of course, they're not the
same. But still, come on. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Well, based on what we have now, Phoenix Wright is still fodder, and Gordon is about as much as a midcarder as Kefka. That doesn't exactly set off any red flags for me. It's not that unbelievable. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

As far as I can tell, the main argument here is Phoenix Wright's
placement. Excuse me for not basing a theory off of a first-timer. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Yeah, where Phoenix lands is my biggest gripe with today...but then
again, Phoenix got closer to Gordon than I first expected, too, and
Phoenix DID get more votes than he has sales... ...hell, I'd say Phoenix has that small-but-dedicated fanbase before I would say Gordon does. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |
