And yes, that means I know that Sonic is winning this. People take
things that I say outside of the stats topics too seriously. >_> ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

| Magus only dropped if you took his match against Link in 2k3 as his legit strength... |

And right on schedule, Crono makes another cut. --- "........!" ~Magus |

Ah, but Samus being out of the Noble Nine means that anyone that lost
to her as well. Sonic lost to her, if I recall correctly. Sonic beats
Crono, and Crono has beat Link indirectly, so Samus losing means the
whole thing is gone. Before today, Sonic could lose to a non-NNer and
it wouldn't have meant anything. ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

How good is Crono with the second night vote? Could he take the lead back? --- Can't think of a good sig. |

Does anyone else think that Chrono Trigger's strength in these contests
is self-perpetuating? As in, people see Crono or the game do well, and
then decide to play the game. I know that's how I got to play Chrono
Trigger... --- "........!" ~Magus |

From red sox 777 Does anyone else think that Chrono Trigger's strength in these contests is self-perpetuating? As in, people see Crono or the game do well, and then decide to play the game. I know that's how I got to play Chrono Trigger... Maybe a bit, but not enough to explain its inability to drop. ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

How good is Crono with the second night vote? Could he take the lead back? Unlikely, but not impossible. He'll have to do a little bit better than Vincent did percentagewise to win. If he gets the same percentage swing as Vincent, Sonic wins with around 500 votes. --- "........!" ~Magus |

The Noble Nine is based on infallability. If one falls, they all fall.
Especially now that every Noble Niner has defeated another. If Zelda beats Samus: Zelda > Samus > Sonic > Crono > Mario > Cloud > Link > Sephiroth > Mega Man > Snake See how every NNer is brought up? --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

I love this. Each five minutes is more votes for Sonic to build up, and five minutes less that Crono has to make them up. --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

What's the criteria for largest vote swing? Like, Claire/Kairi doesn't
count because Kairi had the lead for a while before Claire took it
again? --- caps |

That was another bad update for Sonic. If the last few times is any indication, he'll come back and take this one easy. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

Crono needs a gain of 27.36 votes per update to come back. It'd be extremely hard to do, but not impossible. --- "No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box." - Naked Snake |

Don't forget that Vincent gained % on Crono during the night in that match, so Vincent must be pretty strong w/ the night vote. --- Character Battle Score: 108/120 Guru Place: 33rd Today's Pick: Crono |

While that was an bad update, it's hard to see Crono going from lossing
hour updates to decrease Sonic's lead with 300 votes each hour. It's
only 4 hours left of this match after all. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

Assuming Sonic holds on to win here, he will improve his record to 5-1
against Square characters, with the only loss being the disgrace that
he showed against Cloud in 2003. --- Character Battle Score: 108/120 Guru Place: 33rd Today's Pick: Crono |

Go Sonic. Good to see an icon getting his moment to shine after 4 years
of sucking it up (relatively). It will also be good to see Snake pound
his face in and beating him worse than he beat 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 |

"Assuming Sonic holds on to win here, he will improve his record to 5-1

| Looking at the new top 25 list and seeing it cluttered with 2k6 matches makes me think... shouldn't we have a top 25 list that's "adjusted for inflation"? It's easy for matches this year to break the rank with contest traffic so high. We should do a list that ranks a match based on say, percentage above the average match vote total for that particular contest? Of course fodder filled contest like the Villains contest and SC2k2 will skew results... but it still would be an interesting read... |
