Zero dropped in 2005, him dropping again without bringing MM with him isn't inconceivable. Then again, it's not assured that MM stayed constant, either. Though I have NO clue what to base these stats off of. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Just base them off Mega Man. Oddly enough you could say he's the most
constant one I suppose, and Snake just boosted like a danged animal,
although that does put Sora a little higher then I might like. --- Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum! |

| Sonic's never been THAT good with the day
vote...he wasn't down by that much against Mega Man but couldn't
capitalize it into a win. He'll close the percentage, but he'll be
doing VERY good to match MM's performance at this rate. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Wait until after school tomorrow to make any assumptions. Who knows how much Sonic will close the % down by. The best thought ever, minus the after school part. The amount of characters that actually drop because of this result are quite large in number.

From Karma Hunter Sonic's never been THAT good with the day vote...he wasn't down by that much against Mega Man but couldn't capitalize it into a win. He'll close the percentage, but he'll be doing VERY good to match MM's performance at this rate. Sonic has been good with the day vote, it's just that Mega Man has a decent day vote of his own, so Sonic couldn't capitalize on it as much as he did against Crono, who has a vampiric day vote. Sonic will slice some percentage, but not nearly as much as some people are thinking. TuRtLe ~~~ Pretty much out of the contest lol x-stats |

The thing is, this is going to get worse for Sonic before it gets
better. MM > Sonic at night, and this isn't even Snake's best time
yet. Sonic can still outdo MM, but it's going to take a mighty effort. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

That's what I said last topic. MM is pretty consistant with the day and
the night, whereas Sonic is more lopsided towards the day. I'm sure
there's some way to compare his percentages against MM last year with
MM's percentages against Snake and get a rough estimate of how this
will go down. TuRtLe ~~~ Pretty much out of the contest lol x-stats |

Most people had Cloud getting to the Final Four I believe, it was just
the Link win that was unprecedented. This run may eclipse it in terms
of board shock if Snake can pull it off. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

From dethfdddddh Snake's 2k6 run or Cloud's 2k3 run? Snake. Cloud was never completely out of Link's reach, and his run only looked impressive because of how he got screwed against Mario in 2k2 and looked like crap in the stats. TuRtLe ~~~ Pretty much out of the contest lol x-stats |

The thing is, this is going to get worse for Sonic before it gets
better. MM > Sonic at night, and this isn't even Snake's best time
yet. Sonic can still outdo MM, but it's going to take a mighty effort. The fact that he can is all the reason to wait instead of jumping to conclusions about how this will end or where everything sits as of now. This is nearly as bad as when people were handing it to Crono with just an hour into the match. Sonic's not going to win, but he can easily take off a ton of percentage, or he may not. Just best to wait. --- "My ambition is to create the coolest Link that's ever existed." -- Keisuke Nishimori, Twilight Princess |

But the fact that we're talking about if
he can is also telling. Snake has turned yet another debated match into
a total farce no matter how you slice it, and there will be
ramifications REGARDLESS of where this ends up (for example, Yoshi >
Bowser). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

From dethfdddddh It's pretty weird that most casuals seem to think that Cloud/Seph/FF VII have more of a stranglehold on these contests than Link and LoZ.

Snake has turned yet another debated match into a total farce no matter

this ends up (for example, Yoshi > Bowser). That's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point unless Sonic ends up making some damn fine percentage cuts during the day, which is entirely possible. I haven't bothered to check it, but there are tons of just off the wall, insane results that will pop up in the stats as a result of this. Unless it just ends up balancing itself out, there will be almost no reason to pay attention to them. I'm not believing that the amount of characters who are going to drop actually dropped because one character had a crazy run. --- "My ambition is to create the coolest Link that's ever existed." -- Keisuke Nishimori, Twilight Princess |

close. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |
