whoa! First time I look at this match, and for a few seconds I thought DK has 38% and Kratos had 28%...

that was scary

Oracle Challenge - Today's prediction:~ Kratos 37.60% - Chokey Kong 28.69% - Martha 23.30% - Prince 10.41% ~ Status: OK

Marth not really improving much in the morning... I doubt he'd decisively win the ASV like this.

DK still doing pretty good though

Stupid DK not beating Kratos.

He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising.

Yay, Marth proves me wrong with a 24% update. Just as planned

Marth and DK take turns stealing some votes from Kratos

He probably doesn't take the ASV judging by the morning but eh, it's not like he dropped much either

Interesting to see Kratos acting more like a night vote character here...still wouldn't count him out to get the day vote, but it's not like he's going to be dropping like a rock through it.

SSB generally doesn't do too well with the morning vote though, and still does great with the afterschool vote. Falcon barely cut Crono's percentage in the morning, but still made big gains during the afterschool (and, oddly enough, made steady, small, cuts in the during school period, just as in the morning). Kirby didn't gain percentage at all against Bowser in the morning, but was able to go 50-50 with him in the afterschool. Then there's the SMB/SSB match, which wasn't on a school day- but had rather strange trends in that SMB slowly climbed until about 10 AM- and then dropped for the rest of the match. DK is the opposite, in that he generally does good with the morning and horrible with the afterschool- his percentage did not peak until 8 AM Eastern against MC, his vote lead peaked at about 11 AM, and after 2 PM he went into freefall for the rest of the match. I'm not sure, but I don't think Duck Hunt made any gains on DK in the morning either. That said, DK's lead right now is just too big for Marth to come back, but I'd say he has a good chance of ending it with the vote lead smaller than it currently is.

YoAriel33 | Posted 9/28/2007 8:14:51 AM | message detail
Let's see how he does with the after school vote. Judging by his morning vote performance, I doubt he'll win it, but this contest has been too unpredictable for me to bet anything on that. Regardless, this makes Alucard and Ryu look even worse when the sun is shining.

I can't imagine Marth winning now or even coming terribly close...but I'm still not counting him out on making some impressive gains on DK.

I STILL maintain that Diddy Kong should have taken PoaC's place to see what happens with this match.

If L-Block beats out DK next round, I demand a DK/L-Block match to be set up next year.

Not that L-Block would win it, but who wouldn't just want to take that upset?

Man, Kratos is really doing a number on these schooling hours. That, coupled with his relatively weak Power Hour performances, tells me that he'll be giving up some noticeable percentage during the after school. If Kirby isn't too handicapped by DK, it could be an excellent back-and-forth match between the two.

It isn't DK that's making me feel less confident in Kirby, it's the L-block. Kirby/DK/Kratos would be a close match between Kirby and Kratos, but it seems as though L-block took most of his support away from Kirby last round. Kratos is looking extremely good for round 2, and has a decent shot at round 3. I still don't think Snake/Riku are going to cripple him that much.

Zylo the wolf | Posted 9/28/2007 10:56:49 AM | message detail
Kratos have no chance at all in round 3. If you don't think that Solid Snake will steal votes away from him, then you are crazy. Kirby is a lock in round 3, but round 2 could be interesting.There ARE more people who prefer Kirby over DK than Marth over DK, but Kratos is doing really good today IMO >_>

YoAriel33 | Posted 9/28/2007 11:37:26 AM | message detail
A genre contest would have, what, a max of sixteen entrants? I think RPG, Adventure, and Action would slaughter everything, but those last two are pretty damn vague. Personally, I feel that contest would suck.

Also, it's tough to see how the L-Block is a bigger liability to Kirby than Donkey Kong. We know there's a strong Kirby/DK correlation, but we only have speculation with regards to Kirby/L-Block. Let's look at it this way: the L-Block put up 31% on Kirby. Let's now replace Kirby with Kratos; how much worse does the block really do? Could it do even better? We have no clue.
transience | Posted 9/28/2007 12:01:12 PM | message detail
yeah, Kratos definitely look like a night guy here.. maybe his competition was just that bad. still, he seems like a day vote champ, so we'll see.

Tarrot | Posted 9/28/2007 12:46:23 PM | message detail
I'm still a proponent that L-Block is going to go onto Round Three. I think that it's entered into a Starcraft like scenerio. Now that people know L-Block's strong, the rallying effort is only going to increase over the next few rounds. Hell, this thing gets on 4-Chan L-Block could challenge Kratos. Plus, with DK/Kirby SFF I think that'd pull enough votes away from Kirby to push L-Block ahead of him.

What kind of pirate? He sure doesn't look much like one to me. And also, the FF vote is more powerful than the pirate vote.
