Looks like everybody's standard picture there. Link definitely stands out with that bright green among all the darker colors !! That pic makes me a lot more comfortable about Sephiroth. Classic Sephiroth. If he still ends up losing, that would be pretty embarassing for him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

That's what I think too. Sephiroth definitely looks better there than
he has at any time during the Battle Royale, so I think it's a safe bet
that he beats out Snake again. --- "I'll bet you my left arm that Commander Keen makes it to the next contest!" |

Heh. The Mario and Samus sprites are a funny touch, although in terms of actual quality I'd say they make the picture worse. Clinkeroth facing off is a lot more epic than Snake weaseling his way in there. And I never would've noticed Mario and Samus. Nice touch. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

like everything else, effects should be leveraged due to much smaller
vote swings being need to make a difference. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Note that exaggerated effects of various complexity factors could be
one reason why we had the odd result today of Sephiroth doing worse
than yesterday despite having less competition. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Battle Royale: Day 3 – Cloud vs. Link vs. Sephiroth vs. Solid Snake Moltar’s Analysis Cloud Day 1 – 23.71% Day 2 – 24.20% Link Day 1 – 27.41% Day 2 – 35.00% Sephiorth Day 1 – 16.43% Day 2 – 14.90% Snake Day 1 – 13.12% Day 2 – 14.70% Day 2 proves to be a bit more interesting. Link pretty much gets all of the Samus support, and Snake does better as well. Sephiroth and Mario both dropped, and while Mario lost this round, Seph isn’t looking too good now. Well, with Mario gone, where does he support go? Common sense says a good amount is going to Link. I’d also think Snake will get a bit more support now. Sephiroth? He may be dropping again, and I can’t see him doing much better than he is today… Screw it, WOO SEPH LOSE YOU LOSER! Snake’s going to make it to Day 4! Go Snake with your super awesome looking self who never looks bad in any of his match pics except the Sprite and Melting ones, but there’s like, no chance of you getting either of those while Seph gets something cool! *Match picture goes up* … Aww crap… Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mario will lose? Double crap. Moltar’s Prediction is: Link ~42%, Cloud ~25%, Snake ~17%, Sephiroth with 16.98% Ulti’s? More like Transience’s Analysis four characters are left - Clinkeroth and Solid Snake. normally this would be a foregone conclusion that the non-Clinkeroth character would get demolished here, but Snake has held up rather well with his small-but-consistent fanbase. it isn't likely that he'll be going down in percentage any more like Mario and Sephiroth did last round. Sephiroth on the other hand just flat out tanked last round. it looks like that 2k3 final was somewhat of a fluke and Link fans were just revenge voting after all. or maybe it's just random variance - who knows? either way, he's not getting close to the support that Cloud is. Sephiroth was supposed to have a more "hardcore" fanbase that would never abandon him, but it sure hasn't looked it this last couple of days. with yet another Nintendo character going down, it's likely that Snake will be the beneficiary more than Sephiroth will, what with the SSB trailer and all. I want oh-so-badly to say "it's Sephiroth, no way he'll lose to freakin' Solid Snake", but it just hasn't looked good for him. if Clinkeroth is ever going to be broken, it's going to be to Snake. this may be his best chance, what with Cloud slurping up a lot of his FF7 support. transience's prediction: Link - 44%, Cloud - 31%, Snake - 18%, Sephiroth - 17% HM’s Analysis Causality #2 – Mario. Looks like the plumber’s days of competing in the Battle Royale with that infectious smirk on his face are over! Link remains as the sole representation of Nintendo – and we should see some monstrous domination as a result. But with Mario gone, this makes things a bit harder to predict… Either Solid Snake or Sephiroth are going to be eliminated today. They had a dead even run yesterday with a slight favoring toward Sephiroth there at the end. This makes it pretty damn hard to decide what happens here, but there is something interesting. After Samus got eliminated, Sephiroth did worse and Snake did better. Perhaps a sign that Snake is indeed getting some Nintendo support? Maybe. The real kicker here for me, since everything is so even, is how the picture is going to look for this round. CJayC seems to be following the standard contest picture making when it comes to the Battle Royale. Now why is this bad? Think for a second – Body Shots, Headshots, Sprites. |

Oh yes, gentlemen, sprites -- the bane of Solid Snake’s existence in
these contests. When you combine the fact that Snake may be getting
that with
the fact that Sephiroth still managed to squeak by yesterday doesn’t
put Snake in a good position. My decision here rests entirely on that,
so until then (assuming it doesn’t go too late)…! Aaaaaaaand, the results are in! Turns out it’s more along the lines of standard artwork, so Sephiroth looks to have gotten a break here! I’ll put my money on him getting out of this one by the skin of his teeth again. Aitch Emm’s Vote: Link Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Solid Snake – 14% BONUS PREDICTION AW YEAH With Mario gone, Link should continue to increase his dominance in a big fashion. He took ~80% of Samus’s votes after she left, and I suspect he’ll take even more of Mario’s here. Expect Link to DOMINATE with 45% of the vote in this four way poll! Link Domination Time!! Yoblazer’s Analysis Looks like I was wrong about Mario, but I like Snake more, so no matter! Anyway, the big story today is Link. And, by that, I mean GOD DAMN. He already looks a freak, and once he absorbs most of Mario's votes (which we all know he will), he'll be completely set to Fedor the other three. As for who wins today... very tough to say. Sephiroth and Snake are completely even right now. While one can argue that Sephiroth will use his status as the far stronger character to edge out the win, one could have also argued that for Mario yesterday. Also, it's possible that a smidgen more of Mario's votes will get thrown in Snake's direction. In addition to that, I have a feeling that Cloud will dip into Sephiroth's voting pool in order to keep from looking too pathetic against a psychotic Link, so that may hurt. I went against Snake fanboyism yesterday and it cost me, so I'd be crazy to do so again. Link with 44% Cloud with 26% Sephiroth with 15.01% Snake with 14.99% (Yay contridictions?!) Lopen’s Analysis Time to stop the Snake doom saying. He almost beat Sephiroth today, so hell, let's put our money on Snake this time. You've gotta believe Mario shares more of a fanbase with Snake than Sephiroth… Snake's got some Nintendo roots! Metal Gear, for the NES. And who could forget Snake's Revenge? Fans of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes? You bet! And what about the new SSBB cameo? But of course! I'd love to see a strange voting shift, but it doesn't seem like it'll happen. RobotFAQs! Lopen's Prediction: Sephiroth eliminated with 16.54% KH’s Analysis These writeups aren't that great, are they? I guess the BR isn't as invigorating to analyze. Let me try to touch it up a bit more. Link's been a monster of course, Cloud's been all alone in the middle, but Sephiroth has struggled, which is what today's match is all about. At the time of writing he's still behind Snake (but he should pass him with the day vote), but the two are very close, and Mario going out should probably help Snake more than Sephy, much like he seemed to benefit from Samus' absence today. Sephiroth doing significantly worse here perplexes me, though. We may see a little bounce-back from him. People might also be figuring out what's up, and former Cloud (or even Link) voters might default to Sephy to keep him from losing to Snake. Add in that we might be getting the equivalent of the sprite round this time around... *laugh*...I'm sorry, I had to at least try to make you think I was picking Snake to lose. =D Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Sephiroth loses with 15% Crew Consensus: Sephiroth for the lose? Crew says so...though maybe not with the match picture we just saw! |
