10 people fell off the Top 50 today. Crono801, Jakyl25, Pats_Dynasty, Naye745, ForcefulKnight, dtkkm, JustForFun1988, HeroicLuigi, QwazyMofo and THEVinceYoung did not have Hayabusa > Riku as yesterday's winners.

20 people got the match half right but stayed on the Top 50. KirbyKhan, E_Gadd, LegendaryGeno, MarioSuperstar, The_Dealer_7, Silent_Alarm, Omniscience, TexasAggie, BeTheMan, user345, warrant6767, Warning_Cmexy, JonesSodaMastr2, miaminole21, alphawindow, shadow8021, Board8_BOP, Leonhart44, LessThan3Presea and ooBlack_Roseoo also did not have Hayabusa > Riku as yesterday's winners.

1 person on the top 50 scored a single point but is still alive. dragoncrazer has something vaguely similar to Hayabusa > Riku as yesterday's winners.

Would Akuma have a better day vote than Ryu? I'd think so since he's more modern and doesn't rely as much on old games that lose to SMRPG. >.>

You know, I find it hilarious so many people were calling this a flop for Akuma in the first 5 minutes. Hell, Akuma really wasn't performing outside the range most people expected. Geno, however, was at around 22%. I think only Turtle had him above 15, 17 if I recall, and most had him at the 10-12% range. Akuma was pegged around the 20-25% range with Geno performing badly, and people were writing him off as a flop because he was performing lower than expected while Geno was exceeding what people thought he'd perform at by a great deal.

Anyways, I'm thinking Geno drops down to around 15-18% or so throughout the contest, Aeris keeps enough of a lead throughout the day to hold off Akuma.

he probably falls off come nighttime, though.

She held up pretty well against Zelda, though, just from a quick glance at the updater from last year.

Looks to me like LFF is striking big time once again. Squall and Aeris are hurting each other; they'd both toast these other two 1-on-1.

How many times is LFF going to be much bigger than we expect...this is getting tiresome :(

Aeris lost about 2% against Zelda during the day, which isn't good.

Though if she keeps gaining during the night it won't matter - and she'll probably just pick up steam from here.

People actually think Akuma can get the day vote...?

I don't understand that. I figure he'd be worse than Ryu.

paraboxx | Posted 9/30/2007 9:22:36 PM | message detail
To be fair, I was calling Akuma a flop because he wasn't immediately in second.

...

*cough*

Akuma would have a worse day vote than Ryu because he sucks and is only in the crappy Street Fighters that noone has ever played.

I don't exactly agree with the wording of this, but at heart I think it's correct. Akuma is an obscure character (relative to Ryu) from a niche series (relative to Final Fantasy). I'm pretty new to this stuff, of course, but I don't see why he'd have a better day vote than anyone but Geno here.
transience | Posted 9/30/2007 9:22:56 PM | message detail
woo Aeris

feelin' good here. how long did Sephiroth take to take off? looks like.. an hour or so until he started pulling 50% updates, and then high-50s for the rest of the night. Cloud.. rose 6% from this point until morning. if Aeris has those kind of trends, this'll be out of hand soon.

Like I said, Akuma doesn't have the extremely popular, well known Street Fighter 2 behind him. He would be much worse than Ryu in the day. Hell, given SF2/SMRPG, I'd say Geno has a good shot of making a match of this.

Aeris has never followed the other FF7 characters trends though.

Though, she shouldn't be too bad off this time considering the competition.

The FF7 females aren't as anti-voted early as the males. Aeris isn't going to rise as much as Sephiroth or Cloud.

on Akuma, I think of him as having totally different appeal to Ryu. Akuma isn't dated and old, he's more like a modern fighting game character. look at Nightmare a couple days ago - that's what I expect out of him.
