From Karma Hunter ZELDA DIDN'T BOOST ALL RIGHT You're right. She just wanted us to think that she was weak. She will break the noble nine this year, so I guess that will come to an end though. =/ ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

From Sir Crono | Posted 10/28/2006 3:53:28 PM | #298 Unless you think XS3 really had a big impact, KOS-MOS is the biggest indicator of an Aeris drop. Or Luigi overperformed on her last year! Truth! And Bowser overperformed on Ryu, yay coincidences! --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Crono vs. Bowser- Bracket: Crono - Vote: Bowser (52/60) |

i do.Bowser is doing better against crono in the day than he does in
the night.by the current definition we have,he is ''winning'' the day
vote that definition makes no sense though,as he is still losing and the lead is still getting bigger. *sigh* Instances where a match is 50-50, thus letting who actually is GAINING are quite rare. In every match, there is going to be a percentage swing where one character does better than before and vice-versa. It doesn't matter if it's happening in a 50-50 match or an 80-20 match. Resorting it to only when a character can break 50% in a percentage swing is kinda silly to me. Crono is much stronger than Bowser. Of course he's going to keep increasing his lead, as is what you will see for tons of matches. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

I'm not sure who'd be stronger between Leo and Mikey, though I'd
imagine they're both decisively more popular than Raph and Don. No idea
about the Shredder. ...I sorta want to see a non-VG character tournament now. Batman over Goku finals FTW! --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

Speaking of taking the day vote, Crono's percentage by the hour! 17:00 | 56.11% 16:00 | 56.79% 15:00 | 56.46% 14:00 | 55.70% 13:00 | 54.80% 12:00 | 54.89% 11:00 | 54.50% 10:00 | 52.86% 09:00 | 54.33% 08:00 | 55.54% 07:00 | 55.87% 06:00 | 58.37% 05:00 | 61.67% 04:00 | 64.72% 03:00 | 63.29% 02:00 | 61.36% 01:00 | 60.76% Crono has more or less recovered from the awful morning and poor day, but he's still quite a ways from matching the percentages he was putting up even in the Nintendo Hour. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

I honestly forgot today was Saturday, though it being a weekend easily
explains how Crono did so bad early, but recovered a lot earlier than
normal after-school hours. "After-school" vote on weekends is probably
just the morning. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), Castlevania: LoI, MMZX |

Assuming a constant Crono and Sonic, Ganondorf is projected to beat
Bowser right now with 51.45% of the vote. For all the flak that their
proportional overperformances on Sephiroth got (including from me),
Ganondorf is expected to beat Bowser with 51.64% based on their
percentages against Sephy. However, nothing is set in stone. If Crono beats Sonic by more than expected it makes the match closer, if it's closer than expected Ganon wins by more. Right now Crono needs to beat Sonic with 53.12% for Bowser = Ganondorf. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Now all this talk about fictional characters makes me wish Ceej would do it, just for fun. I honestly have no ****ing clue who would win. None at all. Darth Vader, James Bond, Super/Spider/Bat Man, and Harry Potter would all be up there I think. Not to mention saying how all the ancillary characters from the series play out. Ron Vs. Hermoine Who wins? As much as I love Hermoine, I think Ron might be more popular overall. I would also LMAO if Amidala was ahead of Leia in the X-Stats. Umm...so, Sub-Zero? Any shot at breaking 40? --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

There's no way Superman beats Batman or Spider-Man. He's just not what
he used to be. Can't see Bond being THAT strong comparatively either. --- As you wish. |

Would Harry Potter even be the most popular character in his series? I
don't really know. Not sure I could see any HP character being too
popular anyway. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

I don't know why people are so positive Leonardo would be stronger than
Raphael. He might be stronger than Donatello, but I think Raphael would
be the favorite over Leonardo if anything. Michaelangelo was definitely the strongest back when the cartoon has hottest. But Raphael was the guy pushed most in the movies, and was essentially their main character. I don't remember Leonardo really having his own fanbase, like Michaelangelo and Raphael did. Darth Vader, Batman, and possibly Spider-Man and Wolverine would beat Link. Pretty sure Batman would, not as much about Spider-Man and Wolverine. Superman would almost certainly be weaker than Batman, and might be weaker than Spider-Man and Wolverine too. I don't think James Bond would even be close to Batman level in strength. Harry Potter should definitely be the most popular character from his own series, but I don't think he'd be all that strong overall. He'd probably get wrecked by Batman or Darth Vader, for instance. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

proportional overperformances on Sephiroth got (including from me),
Ganondorf is expected to beat Bowser with 51.64% based on their
percentages against Sephy. Still doesn't mean I'd take Ganon over Bowser in a direct matchup. The whole argument from the villains contest is that a SFF matchup could easily go Bowser's way enough to reverse that 51.64% win for Ganon by stats. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

I think your underestimating the power of Spider-Man, creativename.
He's without a doubt the most popular superhero nowadays among the
general demographic of GameFAQS. Thats the exact reason I would expect
Superman to be weak. That same demographic hates Supes. --- Demyx > Axel Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills! |

intrinsic strength. Wolverine might very well have upset potential. --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/754046421 - For the children. |

Jack Sparrow is very unpredictable. At first I was thinking people are
really overestimating him. However, he is the star of two of the
biggest movies in recent memory. Don't think he's iconic and time-tested enough to challenge guys like Wolverine, but he could have some decent strength. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
