Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 424

If this follows Knux/Magus trends, Crono is going to win, and it won't even be that close. Magus swung 0.68% against Knuckles from here to midnight. That would give Crono a win with 50.24%, and maybe 600 votes.

XD

I know you're joking, but just to be safe... that's not how it works. >>;

But this match isn't going to follow that one, so Sonic is probably safe. If he can break 1000, I'll call the match for him.

Magus didn't start cutting votes until like 11:00 or so.

No, he started cutting at 5:50! Later on Knux did insert an hour where he gained though. And the beginning of Magus's comeback was highly suspect.

Crono can probably afford small drops for the rest of the hour, but he really needs to start stalling Sonic shortly thereafter to have any hope of making this interesting.

I'm talking about not letting Smurf make the stats topic. You can be happy about him all you like, in fact, I'm happy for him. Sonic deserves this.

But when Smurf had made the topic early, and he is one of the biggest Sonic fans on the board. It's nothing short of being an eletist ******* to do what Leon did.

I used to troll the stats topic before the contests with all sorts of fake picks with dumb reasoning. I never got shunned and excluded. Unless I'm repressing it.

(MWIS HERE)

Hmm. It seems in 2006, GameFAQs voters have finally decided to vote for the Noble Nine characters who are involved with cutting-edge new next-gen games as opposed to the "Old Guard." Thus two characters with exciting next-gen releases hyped up, Sonic and Snake, are finally disposing of two characters who simply haven't seen much action at all recently.

Anyone remember the last time Crono or Mega Man released a new game with any serious casual gaming appeal? 1995, anyone? Meanwhile, Sonic has his beautiful next-gen game in the works, and Snake has SSBB and MGS4 hype bringing him back into the spotlight. Good for Konami and Sega; their products have won major victories this contest against the Nintendo/Square behemoths. In fact, to get here Snake has beaten a popular Square character (Squall), a popular Nintendo character (Yoshi), and a Noble Niner (Mega Man).

Sonic V Snake is looking like a damn good match. I've been a huge supporter of both characters, but obviously my vote will be for Snake.

I don't really like eletism at all, ever, and Smurf hasn't done ANY trolling today. Just rooting for Sonic. I guess when I root for Sephiroth in the Battle Royale, you can consider it trolling if you want.

today he's been just fine.. well, at least the couple of posts that I've read. it's the other stuff that gets him.

and I think people are reading too much into this match - if this was 50.5-49.5 instead of 49.5-50.5, you wouldn't be saying such things. this was supposed to be a close match and it has delivered, even if the end of the match is completely anticlimactic.

Perhaps if you'd let him have his stats topic when his favorite character is pulling off a comeback upset, he'd be less inclined to troll you guys. But what do I know.
