Phoenix will lose the day vote so bad. --- Feel my truth. |

1000 is just a stone's throw away! If Phoenix can break a lead 1000, I'm almost certain he'll make it. --- He was stuck by lightning and became insane.don't mind him.-hiei on me. Sound advice. |

I'm not. after seeing Frog drop the ball, if Phoenix drops anywhere near like that, Bomberman at least comes back to tie him up. --- Today: Mario > Big Boss - Vote: Mario Tomorrow: Magus > Bomberman - Vote: Bomberman - Points: 32/40 |

Phoenix may be bad with the day vote, but a vote swing like that is
going to need someone really good with the day vote to do it, and
Bomberman ain't no Axel. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

Bomberman is no KH character. If Phoenix's lead passes 1,500, I'd feel safe with him. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

Phoenix has yet to have an update under 100 votes. He'll probably get one soon though. --- Finally a damn bracket! |

Almost there! Phoenix doesn't take a huge dive during the day, actually, but he does weaken. And Bomberman isn't exactly a casual friendly, AND he has to share with Crash, who is too far behind to do anything but will probably take the day vote anyway. --- He was stuck by lightning and became insane.don't mind him.-hiei on me.

"=P I got the feeling Phoenix Wright would do WORSE in a 4-way poll..." Sorry Haste, but that's just so backwards I can't help but scoff. He's the sort of character that does better in a wider field because his fanbase isn't easily persuaded to vote for someone else. I'm a bit surprised at the number of peopel that didn't pick Magus > PW and feel confident enough in it to not look twice. --- You do not have the right to never be offended. |

Admittedly, I am worried about Phoenix's ability to hold on to this
lead. The trends of this match are so weird (seriously, WTF Crash as a
night vote character). --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

Crash's primetime was about 10 years ago, the people that liked him
then aren't kids now. And the kids now, well, they are probably all
aware of how much the new Crash games suck. Really, none of these
characters are big day-vote guys, though Bomberman and Crash seem like
they'd still be the ones to gain then. --- You do not have the right to never be offended. |

I doubt it. Magus still has the rest of the night ahead of him to gain and his day vote isn't quite that bad. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

Let's break down Phoenix/Gordon by the... segment. It was a school day. 0:00-1:00 (early vote)- Gordon with 52.80% 1:00-6:00 (night vote) - Gordon with 56.05% 6:00-9:00 (morning vote)- Gordon with 57.72% 9:00-15:00 (day vote/extended night vote) - Gordon with 60.25% 15:00-20:00 (afterschool vote) -Gordon with 58.91% 20:00-24:00 (late day vote/early night vote) - Gordon with 60.00% Bomberman only gained a small day vote over Squall, so hopefully he's not too much more threatening than Gordon Freeman with it... or maybe Phoenix has improved with the day vote this year, if we're lucky. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

does anybody have KOS-MOS/Crash 15 minute updates, by chance? (TRE?) --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |
| Haste_2 | Posted 9/13/2007 11:55:16 PM | message detail |

I know that KOS-MOS had over 65% early on, so I think Crash got the day vote. It makes sense he would, too. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

To make it clearer: I thought whole-heartedly that PW would do well in a 4-way poll before the contest, but then I noticed that KOS-MOS and ToS characters (maybe Kefka, too) seemed to suffer from the format... and Phoenix seems more in their field. --- "Ah, a party!

I don't know if it counts, but Crash only lost 3% to Master Chief's day vote. That has to count for something, right? >_> --- And if we armed them all with two swords, we'd have four times the votes! |

no. though if Phoenix makes it, who knows?

Phoenix is really doing well now. it's weird how he stalled for like

No way should Big Boss be the favorite... I really don't think Big Boss
could get 30-ish percent in this poll. A shot for next round? I guess
so, though it'd still be a massive upset. At the very least those BB
pickers next round don't look so crazy anymore. Hour - Bomberman/Crash/Phoenix/Magus 0:00-1:00 - 23.18%/15.97%/29.21%/31.64% 1:00-2:00 - 23.12%/17.22%/25.65%/34.11% 2:00-3:00 - 23.08%/17.34%/25.82%/33.76% Phoenix slowed down after the early vote, but he hasn't really slowed down further. You know what's sad, though? Magus can't even double Crash at this rate. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"

The fact that Phoenix has 27.5% tells me many of his voters (many more
than I had anticipated, unless he absolutely tanks during the day) have
never even played his games. This, coupled with the fact that he's DS
exclusive, gives me a feeling that he'll crumble against Mario. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

then I noticed that KOS-MOS and ToS characters (maybe Kefka, too) seemed to suffer from the format... KOS-MOS got 2nd place and that was pretty much what was expected from her. Diablo and Arthas may have weakened each other, but I don't think you could conclusively say KOS-MOS was being hurt by the format. Kratos didn't do too badly either. Zelos bombed but we don't know how strong he's supposed to be. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |

have never even played his games. This, coupled with the fact that he's
DS exclusive, gives me a feeling that he'll crumble against Mario. no way. I mean, it's possible, but... let's see what Edgeworth does tomorrow. I think of Edgeworth as being more indicative of the PW games as opposed to the fad. I'm not sure if Edgeworth is as well-known as Phoenix is to the casual person who hasn't played PW. if Edgeworth breaks 15% tomorrow, I'll say Phoenix is absolutely legit. and I don't think they're abandoning Phoenix Wright for Mario -- no way. PW fans will not abandon him for anybody. trust me on this. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

PW fans will not abandon him for anybody. trust me on this. Sure, but what percentage of this 27%+ is comprised of true fans, and how many are joke voting Phoenix because they don't have a viable alternative? In his next match, he'll go up against someone about ten times as appealing as Bomberman and Crash, and the Metal Gear fanbase will get thrown in there as well. While I can't say I'll be surprised if he still manages to do well, I will be very impressed. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I find it amazing that Magus of all characters will probably win with
the lowest percentage of the vote so far this contest... maybe even for
the whole round. Yoshi had the lowest winning percentage until today,
by the way. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

are you seriously questioning Phoenix's fanbase? you don't want to go
there, trust me! I expect him to get about 20% should he advance. maybe
a little bit less, but that's quite respectable considering the
competition. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |
