Hmm now this is what the contest has been missing the last two years.
It just isn't the same without Clinkeroth being able to flex their
muscles crushing insignificant chumps. Jill sandwiches for all! --- Should I start running now? |

Just for fun, I took some hours of character's comebacks/voteshifts,
and adjusted for vote inflation (divided the number of votes by (match
in question's votals*) X 10^-6 [I used 100,000 as my base for votals] )
Clearly this will not be accurate, since you would have to further make adjustments based on how many votes were coming in at the time that the comeback occured as well, and when it comes to vote shifts (which I'm really only using for Master Hand/Fenix) you have to make further adjustments for how much the lead would increase naturally if the previous update's percentage had stayed the same. Note: All times are EST Marcus Fenix against Kefka: (1st part of comeback [until ~2:30])= 83.3333 votes per hour (2nd part of comeback/voteshift) [until ~3:30])= 513.333 votes per hour (3rd part of comeback/voteshift [until~7:30])= 739.167 votes per hour Axel against Frog: (1st part of comeback [~3:00-4:30]) = 217.15 votes per hour (2nd part of comeback [until 8:00]) = 299.73 votes per hour Frog against Axel = 220.08 votes per hour Some other classic matches Mario against Crono (final hour and 45 minutes) = 367.33 votes per hour Duck Hunt against Donkey Kong = 244.70 votes per hour Halo against Starcraft (until ~5:45 PM): 120.62 votes per hour Starcraft against Halo (from ~ 10 PM until the end): 244.49 votes per hour Starcraft against Wind Waker (from ~9 PM until 2:30 AM) = 455.48 votes per hour Master Chief against Frog (from ~3 PM until ~8 PM) = 554.04 votes per hour Master Hand against Kuja (from ~7:15 AM until ~1:45 PM) = 126.35 votes per hour Now, here I'm gonna actually play nice and take Master Hand's percentage from almost seven hours ago, and see what he *should have* as a vote lead for these votals Master Hand against Kuja (from ~2:50 PM until ~9:30 PM) = 882.53 votes per hour Final note: If you apply my previous calculations (in MH Vs. Kuja) to Super Mario RPG Vs. Street Fighter II from the time SMRPG's comeback starts to the moment the percentage starts to stabalize you get 953.38 votes per hour. Phew, I'm done. *I used 120,000 for today's match up. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

And tranny was worried about Feni being wasted in this bracket =p I love how he went from slug to potential threat in the second round over a span of 12 hours. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

I've been calling for Fenix to surprise Board 8 since the bracket came out. Granted, most of that was Board 8's constant underrating of mainstream characters, and chronic overrated of Kefka and ToS characters.

What can I say, Kefka always screws my brackets because my blind
fanboyism for him clouds my judgment. In any case, even with the two
Kefka screwups (one which will be a red, as opposed to yellow) I still
don't think I'm completely out of it yet since this particular contest
is going to be real nasty to probably everyone's brackets at one time
or another. And at least I'm beating Ulti, hah. --- ~Love a Nobody~ ~Straight Outta PotD~ |

With the amount of points later rounds will be worth, an early loss won't doom you. Then again, most of the last chunk of the contest is pretty much set in stone, so if you want to win among Board 8ers, you might need the early points.

If I had to guess, I would say Jill would be a bit better in the day,
what with Resident Evil having a second home on the Gamecube/Wii. Hopefully she doesn't need it and can start pulling away during the night. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Nice early showing from Ocelot, 'specially since I think most
board brackets have Jill. He'll do worse than Jill in the day but it
shouldn't be THAT bad... he could do this. And it's two points I'll
gladly give up to see it happen. lol 5 minutes --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |
