It's likely that Yoshi overperformed some on Snake, with the whole sprite stuff.

...Which makes Snake look even scarier.

samus is just weaker this year.why is it that hard to see?

Because she's not? I'll worry if Zelda gets like 48% or something, otherwise no, not at all.

Oh, and I'd take the Tifa we saw a couple of days ago over Auron, fairly easily. Obviously Auron would make it close, but Tifa would win.

Prepare to be very worried then, as Zelda is going to double Samus.

Samus gets most of her votes from SSBM, and Zelda is far superior to Samus in it. Zelda can SFF Samus with ease.

Of course FFXII benefits Crono. Half the guys who come here looking for a FAQ for FFXII have played Crono and probably liked it a lot. Significantly larger amount of FF fans are Crono fans than Sonic fans(or even MGS fans). Pure simple logic.

And, uhh...Snake's rising rapidly now.

...Maybe he IS a Nintendo character now. After all, Metal Gear bombed every single match in the day in the Series Contest...

Nah, we're just in the 'school vote' now, a la the mini-night vote. Mega Man will bring this down once the afterschool vote hits, though at this point I'm wondering if he can just win an update at this rate.

FF12 traffic greatly benefitted Auron. It won't help Crono noticeably.

Yes, but now the FF characters are out of the equation. Geez...of course FF chars get more boost than generic Square but still. Square > SEGA.

Samus didn't bomb. If you recall, she wasn't even in the match picture.

If I was a casual gamer who hasn't seen the SSB:B video, I would assume that ZSS was some other character named Samus. Some obscure RPG character.

You know Crono is probably one of the few who Snake can take with ease in the day vote. Especially since this year it seems Crono has a vampire day vote, perhaps he even has the plan?!

Sonic/Vincent would like a word with you.

After Tifa/Samus and today's result, I'm not counting anything out tomorrow. I think Sonic has a good chance to win it with the way he's been performing this contest.

I actually wouldn't be that surprised to see Snake take the day vote from Crono...though it would be really, really odd.

Think of it this way -- Snake's peak percentage against Bowser was 56%. Bowser swung that to 50.5%, a swing of 5.5 points.

Crono's peak percentage against Bowser was 62%. Bowser swung that to 57.5%, a swing of 4.5 points.

If Snake's day vote has increased any this year (and with people blaming this on SSBB, you'd have to think it could), Snake might be able to take the day from Crono.

There's another common opponent they'll share in Mega Man though, so let's see how Snake ends at the end of this.

With the way Crono and Snake have performed with the day vote (as in, Snake held up much better against Yoshi than Crono did against Bowser...or anyone), I'd be shocked if Crono won the day vote. Basically, if those two meet, you're going to be seeing two powerhouse night votes going at it, followed by a struggle to see who sucks less in the day.

Oh, Crono's definitely not winning the day over Sonic or Samus, especially with how he's looked this contest. If either are able to keep it reasonably close against him during the night (like 49%+) he's not winning.

Snake will take the day against Crono. Although seeing Mega get beat this badly, and talking about Snake beating a Crono that will struggle with Sonic, before having a shot against Samus in the finals is making my head hurt >_<

If Crono takes the day vote over Sonic, I'm going to play through Chrono Trigger on PSX, using an Playstation emulator.

this is a different Crono this year, methinks - one that has a day vote similar to Frog or Magus. if freakin' Bowser can take 4.5 points off you in the day, something tells me you don't have much of a day vote at all. I'll want to see Crono with at least 54% before morning or I'll be a little nervous.

Will megaman ever stop sucking or will snake really finish this with 56-57% ?
LegendarySnake | Posted 11/9/2006 9:22:43 AM | message detail
Assuming Solid Snake finishes with 55% at the end:

If Mega Man 2005 = Mega Man 2006, Solid Snake is at 43.10% on BL!

If Solid Snake 2005 = Solid Snake 2006, Mega Man is at 33.27% on BL, between Tifa and Dante.

If Dante 2005 = Dante 2006, Solid Snake is at 38.64% on BL, meaning he gets 48.46% on 2005 Crono. This puts Mega Man at 34.78% on BL, a little below Kirby 2005.

If Ryu Hayabusa 2005 = Ryu Hayabusa 2006, Solid Snake is at 40.32% on BL, meaning he gets 50.56% on Crono 2005.

If Gordon Freeman 2005 = Gordon Freeman 2006, Solid Snake is at 38.37% on BL, meaning he gets 48.12% on Crono 2005. This puts Mega Man at 34.53% on BL.


Sonic/Crono "What if?" scenarios next.

This is absolutely ****ing incredible. If Snake finishes with 55% here, Mega Man is projected to beat Yoshi with a measly 52.4% of the vote.

And of course, based on his current percentage he only wins with 51.16%.

I feared a result like this after Zero bombed. It would seem that the two are connected after all.

Not that Snake hasn't increased, although being the most nominated male should have been an early sign of that. What a change two years can make.

I really wish Mega Man hadn't dropped off SO obviously this year. I mean, there's no way I'd take Snake to lose to constant Mega Man after what I'm seeing him do today -- so it's all good there -- but he's beating up on the guy when he's down, while he's in the best shape of his life.

For this being the greatest match of all time (which it is !!) it could have stood to be a little more epic.

Where did Mega Man end up again based on Ryu or something? I thought I remember that putting him around the Vincent 2k5 and Snake 2k5 level. Where does that put Snake if we use that?

Karma Hunter | Posted 11/9/2006 10:00:17 AM | message detail
Based on a constant Ryu from 2005, Snake is at 40.7 on BL, above Crono 2k5 but still a point or so under Samus.

That pegs Mega Man to be at 35.73 on BL by the way, a tad above Vincent 2k5. This isn't accounting for any Bowser overrating with Ryu though.

Sheesh. Snake goes above Crono assuming this percentage sticks and that's where Mega Man is at. Probably a good idea to wait until the after school vote kicks in and get we get a better idea of his percentage.

...Or maybe Mega Man is just even lower than that.
