Uh, you can't exactly compare four-way matches to each other like that... The Boss wouldn't beat Tails straight up. Not that it excuses Raiden's performance here (STILL MORE THAN ENOUGH TO HANDLE ZEROWNED) --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I have to admit, I don't really understand why people claim Cyborg
Raiden kinda resembles MGS2 Raiden. I mean... he doesn't... at all. I
watched his first trailer and just thought it was a new Cyborg Ninja. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Crono is performing pretty badly here considering the fact that Raiden looks to be not as strong as we thought. Or...Raiden IS a strong as people thought and this is just Crono being a beast. >> --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

You can look at it two ways: Either the Cyborg pic is helping him, and
he's even weaker than we thought, or it's hurting him, and his
performance isn't that bad. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I don't understand why people think Crono is disappointing here when
his percentage is seemingly higher than most people thought he'd be
getting. --- Hello world |

we're fishing for Raiden excuses already? give this match some time.
Raiden's looking to open up once the actual night vote hits. this time
period... we need to stop assuming Fisher is ass with it. because we
just don't know with the new time. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Crono is NOT performing well here. Every other N9 member has gotten over 50%. Crono has no excuse. His pack is a bunch of scrubs Relax none of the other N9 characters had over 50% at the beginning of the match, but with an update like that he may have some trouble. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 15: Crono > Raiden Points: 42/56 |

Raiden might open up with the night vote, but I'll wager Fisher at the
very least kills his percentage when the sun comes up, at the most cuts
into the lead. TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I love the number of people in here that somehow think a 4-way poll has
any bearing on the strength of a character in 2-way match. Crono and
Raiden are both doing just fine, all things considered. It's not like
they have reason to SFF Sam and Simon into the ground, or anything. --- You do not have the right to never be offended. |

Fisher will kill percentages during the day, but it'll mostly be Crono
and Simon. Raiden probably won't move too much; Fisher will just come
shooting up. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." - Joseph Stalin |

It took Link 10 minutes and Cloud 15 minutes to break 50%, but it took
Sephiroth over 3 hours. However, it looks like Crono's stabilizing
now..... --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |

Crono should be good to finish around the 50% area. Hardly impressive, but not disappointing either. --- Final Fantasy VII Remake -- Believe |

Crono's at a good enough spot right now that I'm not too
worried. He beat Vincent once before, and is still the statistical
favourite by a good margin. Not to mention every year we have potential
NN breakers and none of them ever pan out. Although this year WILL be the year. That's right, I'm referring to the badassed robot you'll see dominating the poll tomorrow. TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I don't see Raiden decreasing in % much when the sun rises. MGS day votes have been much better this year than before. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

Lemme remind you red sox that Link had some pretty weak characters to
face, and Cloud also had Midgar Zolom to SFF the **** out of. Sephiroth
had Peach and Meta-Knight. Not to mention CATS, who I'm just gonna
assume has a decent night vote. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Crono won't finish that high. I like him finishing where he is right now, actually. I also like Raiden to win this in a rather anticlimactic way. even when Fisher was cutting at his lead, I thought Raiden would open back up. casual favourite + BRACKETS? I could see Fisher getting an unusual amount of votes there. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

I wouldn't consider a loss by a NN this year breaking the grouping

based upon. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

I know. At this point if you asked me I'd say Crono probably won't finish above 50% actually, given that he'll drop in the day. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |

I love the number of people in here that somehow think a 4-way poll
has any bearing on the strength of a character in 2-way match. Crono
and Raiden are both doing just fine, all things considered. It's not
like they have reason to SFF Sam and Simon into the ground, or anything. It's pretty obvious the correlation between 4-way and 2-way performance will be high (in terms of order). Not close to perfect, but very high. With SFF causing major issues, but that's not the case in this match. Though I agree, I don't see much wrong with how Crono and Raiden are doing here. Though I doubt this unrecognizable pic could help Raiden. No way to tell if it's really hurting him though. Also on a side note I always figured Mortal Kombat Raiden would be the strongest Raiden, but I'm not sure anymore only because I don't know if he's gotten any exposure recently. Anyone know if he's been in the recent MK games at all? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

annnnnd Raiden's lead over Sam is now as big as Sam's over Simon. Raiden's also increasing his lead at a faster rate. unless Sam does some *crazy* junk in the daytime, this is over. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Yeah Crono is really not impressing me in the slightest. He's looking
to be the first NNer to finish below 50%, and by a decent margin. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I'd consider the 47-53 range to be Crono's pre-contest expectations
here. Given Frog and Magus really disappointing, alot of people lowered
their expectations. TuRtLe ~~~ 42/52 in the contest. Next pick: Zelda > Vincent BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

the strongest Raiden, but I'm not sure anymore only because I don't
know if he's gotten any exposure recently. Anyone know if he's been in
the recent MK games at all? Eh, he's so well known from back in the day, I doubt he'd need much new exposure to take care of this Raiden. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Why is everyone reacting so strongly? It looks like Raiden will win

powerhouse... and I don't see why he would be. --- New computer, new sig. That's just how it works. |

enough to win though. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |

Yeah, The NN falling wouldn't make sense. I mean think about it. If there was a four pack of.... Link Mega Man Zero Vincent I think Vincent has a shot at second with no one there to split his fan base, but thats totally on conditions that have aren't founded purely on his strength and the noble niner's fall from power. No way would I really think Vincent was stronger than Mega Man. Just like theres no way you can tell me Snake is greater than Sephiroth. The NN can't even be threatened this contest. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

"It's pretty obvious the correlation between 4-way and 2-way performance will be high (in terms of order)." I agree that, in terms of order, there is most certainly a correlation in most matches. In terms of their actual performance, though, it's less valuable of a recource than 2k2 numbers. Oh, and no way MK Raiden is stronger than MGS Raiden. MK Raiden wouldn't do nearly as well as the two ninja from the same series while Raiden could conceivably come pretty darn close to Scorpion or even Subby. And, may I inquire, who is to say there is no overlapping of fanbases between MGS and SC? --- You do not have the right to never be offended. |
