As a rule, characters that do well now do not do well once school lets out. I'm pretty confident that Nook is going to do very well during the afterschool vote (20-22%) and that Kefka's going to suck (31-33%). Right now, it looks like Zelos is going to benefit (12-14%), and Marcus is going to decrease (32-34%). The tradeoff between Zelos and Marcus is what I'm most unsure of. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

Like I said earlier, I cannot fathom Fenix being bad with the
afterschool vote. You have to remember, it isn't just children that get
out at 3pm, it's all the highschool aged kids too. And for those
pointing to Gears' rating, I challenge you to go on XBL and enter a
match without at least one cocky little kid talking smack. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Yuffie? At least Tifa had some depth to her. She actually had a
somewhat likable personality compared to 95% of the modern FF females.
The only one I can think of thats better than Tifa is Freya, but she
gets brought down by the fact that she's a giant freaking rat. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

i wonder how barrett fails year in year out to enter the contest. he's the second playable character he's even your boss for a while and his personality is decent. at first sight i'd have said the top three FFVII playable characters are Cloud/tifa/barrett but somehow vincent is the one to watch out for. --- Rufus shinra destroyed my bracket in the sc2k6 contest. |

Fenix is slowly cutting into the lead...if the after-school vote
benefits him at all, he's most likely got this. The trends are a touch
confusing for him though...I'll wait and see what happens. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I don't care about people's age, that's nonsensical reasoning that
rarely works. I care about what the trends say. And they point to Fenix
doing poorly with the afterschool vote, which, admittedly, is a very
odd conclusion. I'd say that perhaps the afterschool vote is just starting early for whatever reason, but Nook isn't going up - in fact, he's still doing as poorly as he did during the night. So it's not that, it's Marcus doing well during night character time. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I agree with BT, Marcus should be good in the day...but that's not even
the point. Kefka's day vote is as bad as drinking like 100 Vomit

Right now I hope Kefka can hold on to a barely noticeable lead to win
this thing, but I really doubt it. Marcus looks like he's primed to
pounce. Jill is
going to beat Ocelot next round, and I feel great about Marcus' chances
against in Cloud/Kefka/Jill. He's pretty much guaranteed to do bette
than Kefka, and I don't think as highly of Jill as most of you I guess.
Yet, I still think she's gonna give it to Ocelot. Hard. I'd take her in
a 1v1 against Kefka probably, but not to go 55-45 like the stats
indicate. It's going to be close as hell, and I knew that when I took
Cloud > Marcus, and I still do. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

At least Tifa had some depth to her. No. She actually had a somewhat likable personality compared to 95% of the modern FF females. Having 5% of ff females above you in personality is pretty bad. The only one I can think of thats better than Tifa is Freya, but she gets brought down by the fact that she's a giant freaking rat. At least her popularity isn't based entirely on her bra size (which is sad when you're talking about a game as graphically crappy as ffvii). --- sig |

Harr, before the match I figured Fenix would be a solid character over
the entire course of the day, with no particular best time so to speak.
Seems as though this is coming true, with last night just being a
result of Kefka's spectacular night vote. Though I can't really explain why Fenix is making gains now of all times. Maybe Frog wasn't good with the during-school vote so much as Axel was just utter crap with it. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

Somebody last year (who was that?) was saying that the trends
pointed to Peach (vs. Jill) and Yoshi (vs. Dante) having equal
day-votes to DONKEY KONG That's not even close to being the same thing. That was just someone saying "well, maybe Peach's vote patterns will be like DK since they're both the same kind of Nintendo characters lol" And ironically, both of those matches had the same trend that RPGuy96 is trying to point out. In that the character that improved with the morning and fell after it left did better after-school. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

instinct, which SCREAMS that Fenix will dominate. Both Peach/Jill and Yoshi/Dante followed trends to a T - the Nintendo character did well during the Power Hour, poorly in the night, strong in the morning, weak during school, very strong after school, and weak in the evening. Exactly what one would expect from a day character - and pretty much the opposite of what Marcus is doing. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

The only problem with that, is that aside from the usual hiccup in the
8am-10am block (kiddies waking up for school if you will) the character
who did good at night almost always continued doing good through the
morning until the after school vote hit. We saw this with Claire, Jill and Frog. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I have to say this whole Kefkas day vote being the biggest joke ever
thing is definitly overrated. I mean the guy has been steady throughout
giving 150 per update. Fenix is jumping causing the damage. Granted it
isn't as good as the night vote but come on Frog was getting 100 by
this time. Unless Kefka drops off to like 100 with the afterschool with
Fenix getting 200 then I can't see the travisty holding water hes been
steady cept when we know he's good... or not crap... --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

I just realized something. Depending on what Fenix does with the
afterschool vote today, looking at next round he's guarenteed to be in
a match with 3 characters that almost always do better at night. Could
we see a good sized vote swing there? TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Regardless... right now Marcus is doing better than Kefka, even if it's
still considered to be the night characters time. Even if he doesn't go
off on a rampage when afterschool hits, I'm still confident he's going
to continue to decrease the lead over friggin' Kefka. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |
