Vaan really isn't even looking that bad. He's getting 7% in a poll against three other characters above normal midcarder range.

Well...with Nintendo/Casual dominance at an all time high, I fear Crono > Vincent. Fare thee well, Noble Nine!

Crono is neither Nintendo nor casual =/

If we don't overreact to each and every update this contest gives us the terrorists have won

Either that or we'll have to watch BT suck himself off for predicting that the sun would rise today


Well, we're going to have to watch that anyway, so why not?

Anyway, Knuckles is continuing to make small gains on Rikku vote wise. Normally I'd be rooting for Rikku here, but lord knows I don't want to see Illumina if his Yoshi > Rikku prediction actually comes true.

Knuckles went up by 49 against Rikku.

Rikku may make it close now, but Knuckles has the Day Vote to look forward to.

Eh? I'd say Crono is more closely related to Nintendo than Vincent.....

And is therefore more susceptible of getting Link'D. That's one of the main reasons I went with Vincent > Crono; I simply think Link will hurt Crono more.

I really think you guys are drawing way too many conclusions about the rest of this entire contest based off of one match, a match that's 10 minutes old no less.

heh, heh. now, THAT'S the way the stats topic should be.

I'm getting a little worried about having KOS-MOS over Diablo tomorrow. It doesn't appear as if Vaan has sapped Rikku's strength at all, so maybe Arthas won't sap Diablo's either.

I'd suggest waiting on the final percentages here. Knuckles is going to increase a lot like always, and Rikku will likely drop in the day.

That's one thing I don't understand about tomorrow's match; why is it that KOS-MOS can only win if Arthas significantly weakens Diablo? She has shown to have comparable strength in the past.

i wouldn't be so sure about that. if Vaan wasn't in this match, there is a good chance that Rikku would be winning right now.

GyratingGrandma | Posted 9/2/2007 9:33:25 PM | message detail
Difference is, KOS-MOS/Diablo is very debatable to begin with, Arthas might not have to sap any of Diablo's votes for KOS-MOS to advance (not that I particularly believe that), so even if the amount he saps is extremely small, it could still end up being significant.

I was randomly considering Arthas right after I saw the match picture (too late of course and I'd eat my hat if it happened, but yeah). He may be the most photogenic guy in that picture... or at least the most eye-catching.

*looks at KOS-MOS*

Well, okay...

Thinking the same thing.

KOS-MOS doesn't have to rely on Arthas sapping strength from Diablo; it's just an added bonus there if it happens.

But Diablo is still gonna get second. He's stronger than KOS-MOS, don't worry. Arthas will pose no threat.
