The votals are 5000 higher than Sonic/Crono at this time. Which is
suspicious because thats the exact number of votes that Snake leads by.

So...Mega Man was fairly constant...? Did
Crono just drop, then? I mean, I'm certainly expecting Sonic to regain
a bunch of ground...Snake isn't going to win this at >58%. But still! --- My Contest Hero: Sonic the Hedgehog. Currently playing: FFXII, Fire Emblem 7, KoF 2003 |

If Sonic ends around Mega Man's level, it'll really be just random
variation as far as each of them go. They were all damn close last
year, and this year they could be damn close as well. The Sonic/Mega
Man/Crono trio could be one that has a bit of longevity to it in terms
of rivalries. That's in order to make stuff 'make sense'. That'll all go out the window though if tomorrow Snake doesn't whip Samus' ass in a thrilling finish. Fortunately, I'm counting on it!!! =D (oops, forgot to up my Oracle!) --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Finally caught up with the last 500 posts... this match is just awesome.
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that the trailer is responsible
for a good portion of this. In my opinion it's ridiculous to insist
that hype doesn't do anything. The SSBB trailer was THE big thing from
E3 this year. It got people excited about the game and excited about
Snake. If people are excited about Snake, they're more likely to vote
for him. I sure didn't expect this big of an effect, but I did expect
some. I also think it's very likely that the TP Trailer in 2004 helped
put Link back over Cloud, not just the Collector's Edition. From: Karma Hunter | Posted: 11/11/2006 9:23:49 PM | Message Detail So who's taking Snake over Sephiroth after MGS4 and SSBB, SFF be damned??? 'Cause I know my bracket's going up in flames with it!!! Dude, that's my upset! I first mentioned it a year ago! You better believe I'll be taking it if I have the chance. I kind of wish the Battle Royale weren't happening, because it would preserve a lot more uncertainty for next year about how Snake stacks up to the big three. Plus, it pretty much has to be anticlimactic after this. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

Ladies and Gentlemen, Do not close your eyes to the distasteful truth. Ask yourselves, are these analyses and "SSBB trailer factor" rhetoric simply a way for us to avoid admitting to the self-evident truth? To believe mere trailers can have such effects on performance seems awkward, and grossly naive. The sanctity of our noble sitewide pastime is being challenged by malevolent forces. Some of our heroes have fallen, and succumbed to vile temptations, all in the name of the endless quest for glory. Please let your voice be heard, so that the integrity of future contests can be restored: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=31706330 Thank you, good night, and God Bless America. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

All that needs to happen is that now, Snake absolutely trounces Samus
in the final, followed by her somehow outlasting him in the BR. I've
completely lost any idea of how that thing might turn out now,
especially with the inclusion of Snake. Regardless, these stats are
gonna be weird as hell. Anyone plan on trusting anything that happens in the BR this year? --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

You're right, we need a new name for this Snake. Mario was on

upset this fool in the future...fine, steroids it is. =/ --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Reading through the last topic, I just want to address one point: There's no problem with Snake boosting from the trailers at E3. Hell, lots of people expected him to boost from them. The issue at hand is how much Snake boosted from them. A trailer isn't suddenly going to make people vote Snake over everyone else. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2179 More than 70% of the site has played MGS1. I doubt that there were too many people who were turned on to Snake just from the SSBB trailer. If anything, I think that the higher vote totals theory has some credibility to it. No, I don't think that this is all because of higher vote totals, but they are part of what's making Snake stronger. A combination of factors boosting Snake up makes more sense than just one thing doing it. --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword. It won't hurt anyone 'friendly'.

Don't say I didn't tell you this would happen. ¬_¬ I based Snake winning this contest, simply because mindless Nintendo fanboys would mass vote for him on top of his already respectable fanbase.

*jaw drops and then promptly explodes* ...W...T...F... I have Sonic, but SCREW MY BRACKET! GO ****ING SNAKE! HAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, and Sonic will outdo Megaman. We may not have as pronounced a day voe because it's the weekend, but I have total confidence in Snake pulling a swing. I mean, if Megaman outdoes Sonic, then MM increased slightly.

I think Mega Man overperformed on Snake, I don't buy that he's still in
the same tier as Sonic and Crono given what everybody in his bracket
did to him. --- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism. FOREVER INFERIOR TO HARMONICA. |

It's, like, random variation. If you want to be technical Mega Man 2k5 is the strongest Mega Man statwise since 2k2. There's no reason why Mega Man couldn't have beaten Sonic and Crono this year (and Samus !!), heck I almost very well had that upset but decided to go with the more satisfying one...if only I'd had a clue exactly how satisfying that string would be... ...man, Snake better not get retired. He's looking to be the favorite to take the main bracket and he's not even at his PEAK yet. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

That's bull. If you claim that everybody in MM's division exceeded
expectations/Boosted is more logical than a simple overperformance/rSFF
on MM's part, you're an idiot. I suppose you'll be telling me that Yoshi didn't overperform because of Solid **** next. -_- --- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism. FOREVER INFERIOR TO HARMONICA. |

I don't think Mega Man is perfectly constant, but I maintained from the
beginning that was a very viable possibility, and there's a reason why
I had him as the favorite against Snake right up until that match. Mega
Man dropping isn't out of the question. Mega Man dropping to the extent
it appeared is certainly out now, as Snake is brutally proving. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

and it's not looking good for that number). Yeah, Yoshi > most CONFIRMED in the stats confirmed. YAY for another unreliable value on the dino! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Just woke up. Glad to see Snake destroying him still. From Karma Hunter Though I am curious, I'm wondering what everyone else here believes? I have a few alternative theories of my own. I've already cited MGS3: Subsistence as being perhaps worth a point or so...maybe. This casual boost could have SEVERELY helped out Snake, for another. Random variation is always there, maybe it's a concerted effort to get Snake over the hump after all this time... ...I mean, what does everyone here think? Read my writeup. It's clearly the FFXII boost affecting Snake for the same reason there is MGS/FF SFF. ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

If this continues as it is what does this mean for Megaman's supposed
decline? Won't it put him second in the male division? Will that mean
he really has dropped dramatically or that Snake has had a crazy boost
and Megaman's opponents were higher rated than we originally thought? Surely this means that all these potential NN beaters, wouldn't actually beat Megaman and he isn't weakest NN member. Unless Samus gets an absolute hammering in the finals, it also puts Crono as the weakest NN member right? Or have I completely missed something, my head is a little hazy at the minute. |
