So roughly what time would we expect Rikku to start stalling and cutting into the lead, if at all? stalling? maybe 8pm. cutting into the lead? about 11. (EST) basically, this is all day vote and Knuckles is going to be up a thousand votes before Rikku can do anything about it. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

Yeah, I can't see anything other than Knuckles now, was trying to gauge
exactly how much of a lead he'd have if and when voting patterns change --- Jon Thomson - 0/0, next picks: Yoshi beats Knuckles Bracket analysis: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=37520975 |

Yeah, I was going to ask what everyone thought about that. It made
sense to put Snake/Sephiroth on the list since it counted for points,
and same for Knuckles/Rikku if it ends up close. But 3rd/4th is only
for bragging rights, so I don't know. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

should make the list. I dunno, maybe somewhere between DK vs TC and Aya

Of course Mega Man affects everybody in the poll. It's just that we've
seen Mega Man affect Yoshi abnormally bad. Not that Knuckles is likely
to finish ahead of him anymore (or arguably ever was), but the logic is
still there. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

Yes, and we've also seen Yoshi hold strong against Mario, Bowser, Luigi and co in a multi-poll. You're acting like Mega Man being in the poll won't affect Knuckles in the slightest. First point is irrelevant seeing as it has nothing to do with Knuckles or Megaman. Megaman being in the poll won't affect Knuckles seeing as Megaman showed no hints of SFFing Sonic whereas Megaman has already SFF'd Yoshi, badly. --- Feel my truth. |

Top 25 Votals distribution: 2002 Characters - 1 (Mario/Cloud) 2003 Characters - 2 (Cloud/Link, Mario/Crono) 2004 Games - 0 2004 Characters - 0 2005 Villains - 0 2005 Characters - 0 2006 Series - 8 2006 Characters - 14 It can't dominate that much more than 2006 did. I think I'm going to update the three lists I keep track of (votals, closest matches by vote difference, lowest prediction percentage), even though the format arguably favours this contest in all three of them. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I'm not going to argue seeing how we have a month before we find
out. But you guys keep holding on to hope of Mega Man SFFing Yoshi for
the Knux win if you want. I gave up that hope hours ago. If we remove Rikku and Vaan, assume Yoshi and Knuckles finish with 36% and 28% (being generous towards knuckles here), and adjust the percentages to account for a straight match, Yoshi beats Knuckles with 59%. That's pre-boost Snake worthy. Even with SFF playing a role here (I feel it is), what chance does Knuckles have to reverse something like this, especially since, before today, he's never been tested against anyone with a remote chance to bring SFF into play? --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Yeah, I'm not calling for Knuckles > Yoshi anymore -- today's just
too big of a gap if Mega/Yoshi can still be applied to the next round.

I don't see why people are al suddenly hopping off the

but it was always an upset pick to begin with, and we saw what Mega Man
did to Yoshi 2 years ago, what's to say he won't do it again? I'll ride this wagon to the bitter end baby! |

If Knuckles is on the receiving end of an SFF beating against Yoshi, how will he fare much better against Mega Man and
Yoshi? Even if MM hurts Yoshi more, it wouldn't make sense to assume
Knux would get away clean, especially when given this evidence. Even
still, Yoshi will still be in the match, and will still probably take
some of Knuckles's votes after Mega Man is done slapping them both
around. If not for the new format already giving us surprises on the
first day, I'd call him toast right now. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
