Obviously the Pac-adjustment isn't perfect It's based on the Kefka match in 2003. Crono lost some updates to Master Chief. Didn't prevent him from 60-40ing him. Actually, MC never won an update in that match. He came *perilously* close, but... --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Console, you just said the exact same thing as KH. I KNOW that trends
alone don't mean anything, but again - a great day vote > a crap day
vote, and again, if you're regularly beating up a guy in a 4-way match
to the point where he can't get anywhere near 50 votes of you per
5-minute update, you're doing pretty well, whatever the time. Besides which, he didn't exactly capitulate at night, did he? Kefka was well within his sights the whole time. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

...and Kefka beat Pac. Do you really think Ocelot has gained in
strength since 2K5, or Kefka has dropped that much? He's been consist
in the stats since 2K4, obviously he wasn't around last year, but
again, all signs point to them being neck and neck. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

This is 'impressive' in the sense that Marcus will be finishing with a couple of % above Kefka in a 4-way poll, while many thought Kefka would come out on top. It's a common misunderstanding though, I just wanted to make sure. --- At least your sword is to the point |

I'd say Ocelot gained in strength...if only because he's leeching off Snake's newfound strength. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

The obvious reason is that seeing all of the Snake hype got people interested in the series. It may be true, but it won't be a significant factor. Hell, it will barely be an insignificant one. ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. Embok. |

No. Will you people stop misunderstanding everything I say? >_< I'm only talking about a 1% boost here, if that. Is it so insane to think that the boost Snake got from SSBB hype (and NO, I don't think it was exclusively that before anybody says stuff) transferred into more people playing the MGS games, and, *gasp*, liking Ocelot? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST IT'S KEFKA How strong do you think jill is exactly? Just wondering, because there's going to be at least two or three percentage points between marcus and kefka when this is over, and when you consider it's a four way match, that doesn't exactly put jill leagues ahead of him. --- sig |

Ocelot is probably a little stronger than when we last saw him --
MGS3:S, appearances in the MGS4 trailers, and perhaps leeching just a
bit from Solid in SSBB -- but I seriously wouldn't expect it to affect
many match-ups for him. He might beat Pac-Man now...if your throw in a
MGS3 pic of him. Other than that, I expect Ocelot to barely be stronger
than in 2k5. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I'd take Kefka > Ocelot regardless for the same reason Frog beat Axel the other day. ...Remind me what reason that was. Speaking of Kefka and Frog comparisons: Who wins the day vote if these two have a match? I'd almost have to say Frog at this point. This is downright pathetic. However, you have to remember that it's easier for Kefka to fall because he's at around 33-35% while Frog was only around 18-21% at the time. Still, this is bad. Now, if Jill advances next round, it'll be fun to see what Marcus does to her. The RE day vote (sans Leon) can almost give the FFVI/CT day vote a run for its money. --- "I'm no hero...Never was.

Yeah, I knew Kefka was going to suck, but I was thinking low 30's, not mid 20's. Eh, I should have seen it, or at least gotten more of a threatening vibe from Fenix. I've been a believer that the new consoles and upped votals would change our perceived power rankings, especially for older characters, but I didn't figure they'd be getting boned by brand new Xbox characters. I'm just glad I took Vincent over Crono and that Magus's path is guaranteed. If he gets a bad 5m update he could do worse than Nook!

Speaking of Kefka and Frog comparisons: Who wins the day vote if these two have a match? Neither "wins" it. I'd say they'd stay pretty consistant throughout the entire day, having such similar trends and all. "Winning" the day vote happens when there's enough disparity between two character's trends that one gains more during the day than any other time.
