Alright then, if Extha actually asked for it I apologize. Tensions are just running quite high at the moment.

This match holds my interest until Yankees/Red Sox starts. And then nothing takes my interest away from that until it's over.

Tense is a good way of describing it. It's not like watching the raw day vote power of KH or the Xbox - every update could be stall, Bomber wins slightly, Bomber trounces him. Very tense.

Looking at it, Phoenix did slightly worse in the night than in the day against Gordon, but Gordon's night vote is his best time anyway.

So do you think we'd be looking at about a 400 vote swing in the last hour for Phoenix which is what Frog did in the last hour?

If so Phoenix can afford to bleed how much per update? Around 10-11 votes?

Can someone do the maths please?

I wouldn't even look at trends for this match. Phoenix kind of defies trends - he's completely unique.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/14/2007 2:27:19 PM | message detail
Extha, I know you want your bracket to do well and stuff, but keep in mind Phoenix winning is only worth 2 points to you.

2. Compared to our beloved Wrighto WINNING for once. Please stop with the...uh...pro-Bomberman propaganda here. >_>

JaKyL25 | Posted 9/14/2007 2:27:38 PM | message detail
Phoenix stalled at this time last hour too.

Is there a hardcore group of PW fans getting home ~3:20 in every time zone who get subsequently overruled by Bomberman backers?

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

Wow, the only thing not surprising to me about this match is the Magus performance. I was expecting Bomberman to take second quite decisively. Glad to see that's not the case. :)

Either way all that matters is Bomberman isn't getting 40 vote increases anymore.

You don't usually see drama like this managing to spread itself across an entire day... Phoenix's lead has gone up and done in a huge curve, and it's anyone's guess if it'll land before midnight.

Best match evar.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/14/2007 2:35:03 PM | message detail
At least Bomberman is trying to make this interesting, which is the best I could have hoped for, but PW's fans are way too rabid when it comes to defending their indie cred.

I can still cheer for the big B though.

And wtf @ Crash's afterschool support? The school-aged kids are too young for Crash's prime, yet this is his best time? You'd expect Crash to do better with the opening hour/night vote, because that's when all the 17 and older people vote.

Just watch. Phoenix will make a magnificent turnabout in the end to win and we'll all end up listening to Investigation~Cornered like we did with Frog's theme.

My theory is that the 17-and-older crowd have forgotten Crash, while the younger generation still played his games in their formative years due to them being widely available, good, cheap games, especially with PS2 backwards-compatibility.

I know I have somewhat more of a soft spot for games I played when I was 5-10 vs. games I played when I was slightly older. I may like newer games more, but the impression those first games leave is undeniable.

duh, Ulti only cares about useless characters like Kairi and Peach. He leave it to the rest of the booard when it comes to excellent characters like Phoenix.
