Due to the Top 100 List compared to how his games, series, and characters do in contests...I would rather believe MC is irregular (though not necessarily to such a wild degree) than say MC having the n00b-weapon made such an over-performance.

Tifa doesn't perform like FF7 at all.. she actually has a great night vote for some reason. then again, Peach did do awesome vs. her in the first 15 minutes or so..

I dunno, let's let the board vote play out first.

I don't think we'll be able to infer much from this match.

We all know how bad Tifa is during the day though, so she probably needs to keep it under 57%-58% before morning if she wants to stay above 40%.

Holy bajeezus. I was about to claim the picture had certainly guaranteed Samus' doom. That's what I get for making assumptions based off the first minute of a match.

Samus doing much better now, if she can hold up overnight, she should end up around 60%.

And if she underperforms, I blame...Zero Suit Samus!

Everybody with a score of 16 or lower got the match wrong.
Overall prediction percentage: 46.04%

The top tiers were on the ball today. The -1s, -2s, -3s and -4s all go perfect. -5s to -12s all manage to stay above 90. Despite this, the overall prediction percentage is still less than 50. No one fell off the Top 50 today.

From red sox 777
Hmm... FFXII helping Auron here would also validate my theory that FFXII would help those affected more during the afterschool and evening because that is when people play games and thus come to look at faqs more frequently. Of course, it didn't seem to give Aeris any help at resisting Zelda's afterschool vote.

Aeris/Zelda happened the day the game was released, when about 1 tenth of the people playing it now had it and were at any point in the game where they'd need help.

I'm pretty disappointed with Samus's performance early on here.. and I don't think it's the picture. Tifa is just doing well.

scares me to think, if Samus is constant, how strong Peach (and Jill) actually is.

Remember that Samus is facing what's perhaps the only FF7 character we've seen with a terrible day vote. Expect big gains from Samus once daybreak hits.

this percentage is going to go down before it goes up, though. Tifa could bring this down to about where Vincent was on Sonic if things go as expected.
