Dear Tranny... Please don't be correct again about how your character (Crono) will get the after school vote and kill my character (Sonic) who has done a removed 1300 votes of Crono's lead. It was awful enough when Samus got the after school vote and killed Tifa's chances for a comeback. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

Screw it, I tried catching up, but by the time I do, I'll have to leave
again, and those 2 hours away will leave me way behind, so....I'll just
live in the moment. Another nice gain for Sonic. --- Spring 2004 Contest - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 should've beat Super Mario World *DpOblivion* |

I'd say that Auron's day vote is better than Sonic's though, now that
he's had KH2 and FFXII. And maybe Alucard's day vote is underrated.
After all, look at who he lost it to: Sora, Ganon, Auron. And then
there's the series contest, when Kingdom Hearts did better with the day
against Castlevania than Halo. Oh, and to provide more selective
statistics that say Crono will win, from here to the end, Crono lost
lost 0.09% against Bowser. --- "........!" ~Magus |

the NPH usually is just a day vote stuck at the beginning of the poll for some reason. Crono won that decisively. The polls start at 12:00 EST. That means that everyone on the West Coast is still up, which means they can cast their votes at the start of the poll instead of having to wait until the next day to vote. That's all the "Nintendo Power Hour" really is. A part of the day vote is front loaded. Of course, that day vote is still mixed with people who normally vote at that hour... so some night vote strength is still present in that. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

From Karma Hunter Well, I was talking about how he was doing in the NPH relative to how he was doing in the afterschool hours. Crono has had a very nice NPH this year -- not as good as his true night, but that's to be expected -- and he's still stunk up the day vote. Same for Snake this year -- though oddly enough, his most impressive day vote was against Mega Man (or Soma, I guess...but really, Soma?). Mega Man was never a real beast with the day vote, except in matches where his Iconicness prevailed. Despite their match last year, I would say Yoshi's day:night ratio would be bigger than MM's TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest.

I guess Vincent is a monster this year. o_0 If Mega Man, or maybe Samus go up aganist him next year, it could be gg N9. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

And Crono having any worse a day vote this year than any other year
is a result of him going up against 2 NIntendo characters and KH2/FF12
roided Auron Crono went up against Master Chief last year. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

exactly, mnm. which is why I wonder why Crono would win it so decisively yet get rocked so bad during the day. it's an anomaly. not that I expect Crono to actually win the afterschool vote against Sonic.. but anything is possible. --- xyzzy |

So what's the deal here, this is all Sonic boosting, right? Or is Crono actually slightly weaker this year? --- CB5 Points: 115/120, Current Oracle placement: 22/169 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII, Children of Mana |

this is random variation. Crono was only expected to win with like 52%, this match was never anything close to a lock. --- xyzzy |

Considering how Sonic did against Vincent, I think it's a compination of both. And another huge win for Sonic! --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

I don't think Vincent is the one that people would have to worry about next year, myself. So what's the deal here, this is all Sonic boosting, right? Or is Crono actually slightly weaker this year? Crono didn't seem much weaker, if at all, this year. Both looked about the same this year, so you could attribute this to Sonic getting a slight boost to bring him up to that level. --- "My ambition is to create the coolest Link that's ever existed." -- Keisuke Nishimori, Twilight Princess |

I think this is Sonic's boost. The way Crono killed Bowser, showed no signs of his decline. Which is startling giving who he is. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

If they really met in real life, there is no chance Sonic would have of beating Chrono, and thats what really matters to me. Chrono is just too dang powerful compared to Mr speedy pants. |

And he got rocked against Master Chief worse than in any match this year. Crono dropped over 8% in that match. And yet that's at least comparable to what you might expect, seeing as how it's Master Chief. Crono should not be having similar struggles with freaking Bowser. I mean, he let Bowser take nearly as much percentage off him as Snake did last year. And if you want to talk about really impressive day showings, let's not forget his 2004 match with Mario where he held the plumber to three updates. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

This isn't random variation. Random variation wouldn't account for a 2%
difference with these votals. I think it's safe to say that voter
influx helped the iconic Sonic (lol rhyme) boost a wee bit. Getting 60%
on a Luigi that manhandled both Zero and Kirby is no joke. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Well, Snake/Mega Man confirmed that a character can be stronger off of
just hype (can we please throw out the whole Zelda Collector's Edition
was the reason for Link 2k4 and not
the TP trailer <_<;). Although I think that Snake/Mega Man was
also partially due to voters aware of this contest's history pushing
for Snake to get over the hump against Mega Man. So a combination of
SSBB/MGS4 and a Snake > Mega Man "bandwagon" so to speak. While Sonic doesn't have SSBB or MGS4 in his favor, his next-gen games have been getting moderate buzz (not all good though), but at least he's back on the scene. I wouldn't dare try to say Sonic Rush is the reason for this, as all of Mega Man's releases this year did nothing for him. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

And I still take Mario comfortably over Sonic. Last year proved that
with these higher votals, Mario is now out of Crono's league. I'd say
the NN looks something like this after these results: Link Cloud - Sephiroth - - Mario - - Samus Snake - Crono Sonic Mega Man TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |
