Sonic 2 Shouldve Won | Posted 11/10/2006 9:06:52 AM | message detail
Wow...Is it safe for me to say that it's only a matter a time now?

Were you here the last 15 minutes? Sonic's lost 3 votes since then.

If the predicted statistics follow exactly, Sonic should win.

But when do they ever follow exactly? Right now, I'm slightly worried about this "diluted day vote" and the potential FFXII factor helping Crono with the day vote.

Crap, Sonic's got this. I don't like having my bracket destroyed just as I had a chance to actually win...but I guess if any character were to destroy my bracket, my #3 character would be ideal. (well, actually my #1 character would be...Snake for the main bracket!)

For the record, I don't either. But it would've been a good match, probably.

Anyway, Snake for male champ! >_>

A small hiccup in an overall great hour! Those two 50 vote cuts more than made up for that!

I doubt Sonic has much to worry about in terms of FFXII. It didn't help Crono not get destroyed during the afterschool vote against Auron (though I guess you could say it just helped Auron more...... a lot more.) Veterans Day diluting today's voting patterns is much more serious; if this match were on a non-school day, I'd say that Crono has very little chance of losing this. Sonic would just gain for a few more hours and run into a "magic wall" like in Magus/Ganon. If this follows school trends entirely, on the other hand, Crono's in dire trouble.

Current leaderboard position: 19th

Remaining predictions:

Sonic d. Crono
Samus d. Zelda
Snake d. Sonic
Samus d. Snake

How likely is it that I'll finish top 10? Samus over Snake is the choice I'm most worried about.

All American schools are off for Veterans' Day, but the thing is Veterans' Day is tomorrow. So, some schools have the off day today, and some on Monday. As far as Samus/Tifa goes, I dunno; it seemed pretty diluted to me; Tifa couldn't get a lead with the during school vote despite winning overnight, and Samus didn't kill her too badly afterschool.

zwong1 | Posted 11/10/2006 9:17:32 AM | message detail
Sonic d. Crono
Samus d. Zelda
Snake d. Sonic
Samus d. Snake


The male champion will beat the female champion or else Tifa is going to end up above 4 male NN in x-stats.

We'll have a better idea of Samus's true strength after Zelda. It's quite possible, but I'd expect the winner of Sonic/Crono to beat Snake and Samus.

The schools won't admit it, but it's because they don't want pedophiles to attack the kids while they vote on school campuses.

Show me a match where Crono did well during the 12-3 times? In fact, IIRC Knuckles was at his best aganist Magus during those hours.

True, but why would Crono do well in the 12-3 slot? He lost it aganist all his opponents so far.
Just because Crono is going to lose the morning vote and day vote, doesn't automatically mean he'll win the school vote.

The after school vote today probably won't be as big as usual, but it should still definitely be there for the many schools that aren't taking today off for Veteran's Day. The lead right now is low enough for him to still comeback from.
