Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 424

Sonic is about to break MC/DK's record for largest swing if he can hit a lead of 1405.

Vote swings don't matter if they did Sora/Alucard would be the biggest vote swing. This however is the biggest comeback beating MC/DK's 2050 by getting a 2200 vote lead.

Heh. Ganon's predicted to beat Bowser with 53.77% before SFF! Good stuff.

It's pretty surprising to see how high Vincent, but the boost he needs to get to that level (3.13%) isn't unreasonable given what he's had over the past year. I feel better knowing that I just underestimate the boost and Ganon wasn't actually weaker than Vincent 2k5. I pegged him pretty well, actually!

Considering this will kill any chance of another Nintendo/Square matchup until Cloud/Link, let's take a look at how they fared head-to-head.

Nintendo wins:
Yoshi > Riku
Zelda > Terra
Samus > Rikku
Zelda > Aeris
Samus > Tifa
Zelda > Yuna

Square wins:
Sora > Tingle
Vincent > Ganondorf
Crono > Captain Falcon
Crono > Bowser
Tifa > Peach


Slight advantage to Nintendo, though in debated matches, it's basically a 1-1 split.

Wow. This contest is actually surprising. Go figure Mega Man would become the new joke of the N9 while Snake becomes a juggernaut, with Sonic actually beating Crono.

Awesome contest, even though I like Crono and MM much more than Sonic and Snake. The upsets are worth it.

And with these things, something is finally right with the world.

This has indeed been a nice contest...unfortunately, the female half was cruddy for the most part, so I wouldn't call this the greatest contest ever... Oh, and while it'd be nice to see Samus lose to Zelda tomorrow, I'd -hate- to see Zelda in the Battle Royale...not only do I not want to see Zelda getting creamed in that, but I feel no female has place in the the BR other than Samus.

I love how I see some people on the board calling for vote stuffing on Sonic's part when the match is getting below average votals.

Eh, as it turned out, I think the female side definitely had its good matches. Jill/Peach, Kairi/Claire, and Tifa/Samus were all high quality matches. It could save face even more depending on what Zelda does tomorrow, so, while it probably didn't exceed everyone's low expectations, it had to have at least fulfillled them.

*jaw drop*

Sonic beating Crono? And coming back from a 2000+ vote lead to be up 1600? And me a Sonic fan? And seeing a strong Square character get owned? D:

Wow. Just ****ing wow. I don't know if I'll ever be this happy again. This kicks so much ass that a hundred hopstials couldn't have enough bandages to heal the wounds.

If its like last year, we'll probably get 5-7 pics. And the deadline for Samus/Zelda pic is about to hit, so Ceej should be clearing the feedback tickets any minute!

As much as I wanted to see Crono win, this is life.

What's bugging me is that Crono is going to end up doing worst against Sonic than Tifa did against FREAKING SAMUS!

I mean, we're still looking at the possibility that Tifa will be #2 on the stats this year...



Other then that we have an interesting final contention.

No matter if its Zelda or Samus on the other side, Snake's gonna have his hands full with not one but TWO day voters in the upcoming rounds. Luck to the stealth man there.

In all honesty, Snake has been a beast this contest, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him wipe the floor with both Sonic and Samus/Zelda.

message detail I dont care much for crono, nor do I care much for his mediocre rpg, but how could anyone think that crono wouldnt win this whole contest. Keep this thing bumped for the finals in hopes that I might be wrong when it comes down to Crono Vs Samus/Zelda.

When I looked at the leaderboards and saw that some people thought Samus or Yoshi or Luigi or Peach would win, I was disgraced at how foolish you guys are. You'd think after so many contests of these characters NEVER winning that you would learn but nope.
