They're both going to drop off during the night, while Sephiroth and CATS increase.

Funny thing about that last update - Peach went up, Meta Knight stalled, and CATS plummeted. <_<

Cloud was around 53.5% now and ended at 61%. And he was against complete day vote chumps. Sephiroth is looking pretty poor, even for the Power Hour.

And Meta Knight is FAR cooler than Peach, so this doesn't really upset me either way.

Sephiroth's still going to finish well, WELL over 54%

Ultros would be a fine addition. Though I like the idea of Ansem more. With CATS and Ansem on the same team, they'd have 100% of the vote, judging from their match!!

I agree with the discussion in the last topic about females sucking due to this site's demographics, and that they are not to be trusted in a contest setting (this also played into my doubting Midna). But that's general gamer demographics too. Speaking of female video game characters sucking horribly...


KamikazePotato
Ridley>anything is still the most stupid first round upset. By far.

Nothing - and I mean, NOTHING - will ever compare to Kerrigan>Vincent in that regard.


KH
The difference of appeal is too important - and the most important thing of all is that there is a HUGE section of voters who have no clue wtf Meta Knight is. EVERYONE knows who Peach is, it's just a matter of them caring.

This does make more sense than the "hardcore" thing. (though you still can't say Peach>Meta Knight with any real confidence)

I mentioned earlier someone like Akuma might benefit from this format, because of recognizability being less of a factor. That's very different than hardcore though (though Akuma qualifies under both probably).

Will there be people who follow your anecdotal trend and vote for Meta Knight in such a scenario despite having never seen him before? Of course.

I noted that was meaningless, I just felt like saying it.

"Winning" the day vote as we've typically known it has been about what characters do better and worse during the day. It's generally agreed that Master Chief "won" the day vote from Crono despite not winning a single update - the percentage shift was just too huge to ignore there.

Yes. I'd say ZSS hurt Samus not just because of recognizability, but also because badass mysterious spacesuit>female when it comes to gamer appeal.

00:30 | 48.23%

He's improved since the board vote, of course, but he still has yet to bring in a majority.

And by gamer appeal, I mean not just this contest setting, but also $$$ in terms of game sales. Males are just more of a sales draw (in general), because of player identification.

Most likely, yeah. No way he finishes under 50% here, but he's certainly looking to finish way under expectations, especially against a rather weak pack. Doesn't really matter to him in the long run, though, because his path is pretty cut and dry.

He hasn't done it over 15 minutes (though if he doesn't this time, he should very soon anyway), but in any case Cloud was getting 57%-60% against strong night vote characters.
