The 3 hour difference. You know, 4:30 in this poll being equal to 1:30 in that one.

Crono with a 2131 lead.

How do you do manual updates with the updater?

I don't get it,Crono boosted?
Last year,Megaman and Sonic were about the same strength and Megaman got 49% on Crono
But now Sonic is the same(or stronger) as last year but can't get close to Crono?
Why

well this late crono has all the support...but by morning and afternoon you will see a sonic bounce...hopefully it won't be enough.

Wait until the day vote hits. Sonic is bound to go higher with how terrible Crono's been with it. Sonic's day vote is also considered good, so there should be a big swing.

Sonic is only projected to get 47.5% on Crono. The results you just saw isn't the finalise results. Crono is King of night votes while Sonic is weaker with night votes. On the other hand, Sonic is a monster with day votes while Crono seems to be weaker with day votes this year. Sonic might get 49% or maybe higher in this match.

In Years Past Crono has Taken the Day Vote from Mario Hes not bad in the Day. Just the Morning. Morning is horrible for him hes solid every where else.

Auron swung several percent with the day vote. Crono is horrible at every time that isn't the night.

SythaWarrior, i mean he is bad with day votes this year. I think he lost the day votes to Auron and Bowser this year.

Auron swung 4% with the morning vote, 2% with the after school vote.
Bowser swung 3% with the morning vote and 0% with the after school vote (weekend match?)
C.Falcon swung 0% with the morning vote and 3% with the after school vote.

He didn't lose them. He just didn't Dominate them like he did in the Night where he beats people by insane margin.


Think of it this way.

They are on the Ground and Crono is beating them with a Metal Bat. Later on he switchs to Plastic Bat but is still beating the crap out of them it just looks misleading. And is driving the Percent down because he didn't keep up the brutal Pace.

Gaddswell | Posted 11/10/2006 2:23:06 AM | message detail
Sonic finally over 46%.

Also, the poll stopped updating by itself again so can someone else manually update it every 5 minutes? I'm going to sleep.

Crono's starting to hold it together a bit better now then he was before. At a quick glance it looks like this was his absolute worst time against Auron... so this might not end as close as it looksl ike it will at the moment.

The n00b Avenger | Posted 11/10/2006 3:51:37 AM | message detail
Well, I'd be a little surprised if Sonic didn't make progress here.

In every single match he's been in, Sonic's morning vote has either been equal to, or even greater than his after-school performance.

Normally I would take his performance here and use it as an indication of what's to come. If he doesn't go too crazy, I would have confidence in Crono holding up after school.

Though with how badly Crono did after-school against Auron compared to the morning, I don't know if that's plausible.

The n00b Avenger | Posted 11/10/2006 3:56:10 AM | message detail
Crono in my bracket, though that's irrelevant. My bracket died the day Luigi beat Zero.

I'm more for the oracle challenge at this point. I'm knocking at the top 10, and a top 10 finish would be nice. And my oracle prediction is Crono so.... yeah.

You'll probably see me be more Pro-Sonic during the match though. That's because I'm pessimist.

Don't most people in America not have school today? For Veterans' Day? Well, this is in fact Sonic's best time. From 6:50 Eastern to the end of the match:

Sonic gained 0.13% against Vincent.
Sonic 0.35% against Megaman.
Crono gained 0.03% against Vincent.

All those were on school days, however, and the latter 2 were in 2005, so a later start time. Sonic peaked against Megaman within an hour or so of this time, taking the lead, before losing the during school vote, and barely winning the afterschool.

I'm happy to see Sonic mounting some kind of an attempt at a comeback, but I just feel like Crono has this already for some reason.

I really do wish Sonic can pull it off though.
