This starting to look a lot like Vincent/Ganondorf, not good for Zelda. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 14: Zelda > Vincent Valentine Points: 40/52 |

If Vincent keeps this up, Zelda has absolutely no chance of a
turnaround. She'll do better, but that means nothing when you're
inherently weaker. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

Link 74.77% / 23.13% Bidoof 23.11% / 11.45% Besides the lol, 23.13% of people did not know that the order mattered, only 34.56% people picked Bidoof to place? I mean, jesus, I gained 21 places (37->16) just from this match. --- "The board vote for Bidoof will likely die off within a few days and Edgeworth can use the day vote to catch up." - Luster Soldier |

Oh yeah, this: Most people probably had Link > Edgeworth so Link was first pick. Isn't the theory that a lot of people just went with the default order, though? And wouldn't the default order be Edgeworth > Link? (I never saw the actual entry form.) Also - go Boss go! Again! |

This starting to look a lot like Vincent/Ganondorf, not good for Zelda. Ganondorf was still leading at this point. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

I dunno. I won't count Zelda out unless the lead is insurmountable by
the morning. It just seems like she has a lot more going for her than
Ganondorf did last year, and Vincent has a lot less going for him. TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Hey, go Zelda. She'll win at least 2nd easily. --- Tigers and Rockies fan. The revival of the signature. |

It doesn't matter how much Zelda has going for her if Vincent increases his lead by 50 every update until morning. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I'm guessing 23% were either favorite brackets or thought that the
first two characters in the drop-down menu were the first match, and
the last two the second match. --- Now in portable form! |

Zelda had a bit of a stall... And Boss/Tails continues to be a match for the ages... ...Someone should tell those two 3rd place won't matter in the end. >> --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

HEY GUYS 42 ON THE LEADERBOARD CARE ABOUT ME NOW PLEEZ!!! And Vincent taking charge early. At least the battle for 3rd is interesting so far. --- Moltar Status: The Analysis Crew...believe Tails/The Boss/Vincent/Zelda - Bracket: Vincent > Zelda - Vote: The Boss (44/52) |

Not saying Vincent loses fans, but he had AC and DoC between 2k5 and 2k6 compared with Ganondorf's nothing. Now Zelda has had TP between last year and this, and VIncent has had nothing. Seems to me that this recency may be the key to winning the day vote, over the easily impressionable kiddies. TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe.

If the match continues to be Vincent increasing with the occasional
stalls by Zelda and she doesn't make any real move at all, will it
FINALLY show that TP didn't really do all that much for those not named
Link? --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

It really doesn't matter what she's had within the past year if she's
the weaker character, which in all likelihood is the case here. She may
win the day vote, but it'd be by such a small margin that it wouldn't
matter too much. It's not like Vincent's day vote is terrible. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

"Recency" is awesome. That whole argument is awesome, in fact, if only because it makes it worth coming back to check on the poll tomorrow. (Though I would have anyway, just in the hopes that The Boss held out the lead.) |

From LordOfDabu Posted 9/16/2007 12:25:20 AM #467 So why was Sephiroth 53.03% / 40.80% ...? Sephiroth was the last option, so he got the combined effects of people not knowing that it was all one match and the absolutely massive amount of people not knowing that order mattered working against him. I suppose Link also had some "order doesn't matter" people who had Bidoof or Agent J in first, but whatever >_> --- Now in portable form! |

I'm still impressed we still have a 1 bracket this far in, especially since the highest scores are six points away from perfect. This guy would be winning if he bothered to make a real bracket or actually read the rules. :/ --- I'm an eel. |

If Vincent can do this in the power hour, I'm about ready to stick a fork in Zelda TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

This proves one thing. There is no Twilight Princess boost ...people had been calling for Zelda to be weaker than Ganon for awhile. We ALL knew her ranking in 2k6 was crap. Also FOUR WAY MATCH BY GOD YOU'RE ALMOST AS BAD AS TURTLE --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I believe if there was a TP boost that all it would do, if anything, is put Zelda a bit closer to Ganondorf from last year. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

I'm still impressed we still have a 1 bracket this far in, especially since the highest scores are six points away from perfect. This guy would be winning if he bothered to make a real bracket or actually read the rules. :/ It is easier to get a 0 bracket than a perfect first round in this format. Order doesn't matter in a zero bracket, just pick the two losers in whichever order. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

| I don't know why anyone thought Zelda was stronger
than Ganon or that she would win this match... she was good against the
female bracket last year, but the female bracket wasn't exactly a great
beacon of strength... --- Rangers 0 0 0 5 0 9 0 10 6 . 30 29 1 Orioles... 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 . 0 . 3 .. 9 ..1 |
