So it looks like this match will be #1 for highest vote totals. Zelda/FF was rather short-lived. --- Let the snow fall deep, the rain drive down, and the wind buffet my cloak. I care not for I've a road worth walking ~ Drizzt Do'Urden |

Battle Royale: Day 2 – Cloud vs. Link vs. Mario vs. Sephiroth vs. Solid Snake Moltar’s Analysis Cloud Day 1 – 23.50% Link Day 1 – 27.60% Mario Day 1 – 11.60% Sephiorth Day 1 – 16.40% Snake Day 1 – 13.10% Well…Day 1 doesn’t turn out too crazy after all. Link wins, Cloud gets second, and Samus is eliminated. Oh well, time for Day 2. Who will survive?! Well, we saw Snake beat Mario today, but the million-dollar question is if he can pull in a decent portion of Samus’s votes. I mean, he’s only about 2000 votes behind Snake, and there’s 10,000+ Samus voters wondering who to vote tomorrow. Logic says they’ll go to Link and Mario. Now, calculating how much will go to Link…how much will go to Mario…how much will go to the others…random dropoff with the votes…carry the 5…squared…ahh yes, it seems that Mario will just barely get enough votes to stay alive over Snake! (Warning: This is subject to be totally wrong) Moltar’s Bracket Says: Snake will lose. Moltar’s Prediction is: Link ~30%, Cloud ~25%, Seph ~17%, Mario ~14%, Snake with 13.98% Ulti’s? More like Transience’s Analysis I'm pretty disappointed in day 1. it actually went as expected - Link domination, Cloud on a tier by himself, Samus getting the holy hell SFFed out of her and the others somewhere in the middle. I was hoping for something wild to happen but the characters more or less performed to their strengths in a regular character battle. so what happens tonight? well, what I want to know is how static the voters are going to be. are they going to vote for the same character every time? are they going to adjust their votes based on previous results? for example, will Link supporters throw their support to Mario? will Cloud fans support Snake? or will Link fans just vote Link six days in a row? it's an interesting, unsolvable question. there's also the question of where Samus's votes go - you'd think they'd go to Link and Mario, but I'm not so sure about that. Link and Mario already SFFed Samus, so I don't know how much more they can take from her core fans. personally, my Samus vote will be shifting to Cloud and I could see that 8% being mostly evenly distributed. Mario pretty much sucked it up today. (as predicted by yours truly!) finishing below a character he beat pretty good a year ago is about as close to an x-stat upset as we have here. if you believe in pictures making a difference, he might actually have overperformed with how prominent he was in that thing. it seems like Mario is suffering from Link's dominance, something that isn't likely to go away any time soon. is the reduced numbers of Nintendo characters going to help him? a little bit, enough to make this a tight race for second last. I think Snake is slightly more likely to go out, but I'll go with the upset here. (though I may not be in the minority!) prediction: Link - 31%; Cloud - 26%; Sephiroth - 17%; Solid Snake - 13.5%; Mario - 12.5% HM’s Analysis As expected, Samus is eliminated after the first day. She didn’t get quite as low as I had projected, but she still wasn’t even in contention for any position except for last. With that easy choice out of the way, things are getting a little harder with the two next candidates ready to go – Mario and Solid Snake. When you look at the poll results yesterday, Snake finished in a nice 4th place and Mario trailed at 5th. But you have to imagine that Samus’s votes will definitely help out Mario and Link before they will Snake. Even in a loss, she got a nice 11,000 votes, the majority going to Link I would presume, and those can be divided up and split to the Nintendo dudes first and then everyone else later. |

I think with Samus out of the voting options, Mario’s going to get a nice little boost to slightly
out last Snake in what should be a tight match throughout. This one is
really hard, but I think the plumber heads into the Final Four to
compete with the big guys. Aitch Emm’s vote: Link Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Solid Snake – 13% Yoblazer’s Analysis With 2.5 hours left to go in the Battle Royal's first day, things are actually looking good for Snake to outlast Mario. He leads the gaming icon by a little over 1.5%, and Samus will have less than 7.8% to disperse to the other entrants. With a good chunk of that going to Link and the rest being split amongst the others, I doubt Mario will make up the 2% or so necessary for him to make it through another day. ...Of course, this is Mario, GameFAQs' version of the ****ing Hamburglar. Mario steals more contest victories than Cloud steals fangirls' panties from Link's hotel room. He's a perfect 3-0 in nail biters, and if he's neck and neck with Snake during the last few hours, he will have the edge. It's been three long years since we've seen some bonafide Mario magic, and I think it's about time we got ourselves ready for a show. Link with 30% Cloud with 24.5% Sephiroth with 17.5% Mario with 14.01% Snake with 13.99% Lopen’s Analysis I think today will prove something interesting: a close match can change based on just random variation from day to day. I don't expect the results to be almost exactly the same just with Samus's votes spread throughout the competition, nope. It's all about who shows up, and different people are showing up. It's also possible that some of the Link fans might spread out their votes, because they saw just how dominant he was yesterday. Who's more likely to get them out of the lot? Mario, of course! Of course the same could be said of Cloud, to a lesser extent. One thing's for sure though, barring some huge variation, this match is between Mario and Snake. I give Sephiroth an off shot of being eliminated too. My gut says go with Mario, despite Snake doing better today. Samus's votes will probably go in a bit higher proportion to Mario than to Snake. Will it be enough on its own? Well, probably not. But it will close the gap to random chance. However, I have a feeling the poll's gonna go wicked different today! And Mario will show his plumber durability at its finest. Some analysis, huh? The poll will randomly change! Stunning idea, Lopen! … shut up! Lopen's Prediction: Solid Snake eliminated with 14.13% (Snake has to get less votes proportionally than yesterday... yes it's a change!) KH’s Analysis I've got a feeling Mario edges out Snake here, but my bias isn't going to let me admit that by a longshot. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Mario loses with 13.5% Crew Consensus: Snake or Mario? Well, the Crew thinks Snake will be the next to go, but it's up for debate! |

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis Alright, Sephy outlasted Day 1. But he's not going to make it past Day 2! He may be ahead of Mario and Snake, but where are all of Samus's votes going? Mario and Snake. SSBB SFF Baby! Plus the Sephiroth supporters will probably by bored and vote for Cloud instead. Bob's Prediction: Sephiroth dies with 1% --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

It will be very interesting to see how Samus' votes will be divided up. A nice opportunity here. Will they go loosely proportionally based on today's results? Everyone expects it to be unbalanced in favor of Link/Mario and against Cloud/Sephiroth - but just how unbalanced will it be? Mario does look like the clear choice to go out next though. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
