Obvious first place characters have all choked the board vote this year.

Ike and Duke would both have bracket votes for them (Ike was the favourite though)

Oh, and if Gordon > Duke happens, then I get a perfect Round 1 Division, so it isn't happening.

Or...

Gordon is the big favorite to finish in first today. Of the three, I figure he'd be the last one to benefit from early bracket voting.

Of the four

Guybrush has a good board vote too. Really, since GFNW died, Gordon isn't a huge Board vote guy.

A great day for the Top 50. Only 5 fell off the Top 50. thisistemporary, hellpunch11, PhiloSOULpher, dtkkm and KenoLovesEclair did not have Sora > Lara as yesterday's winners.

3 people on the Top 50 only scored 2 points but managed to stay on the Top 50. jumpers123, BigDMan08 and Omniscience also did not have Sora > Lara as yesterday's winners.

I can't see this match having very defined trends. Ike is proving that he has nothing from Smash, and I can't see Fire Emblem being a strong day vote game. If anything, I'd say Gordon and Duke are best primed for the day, but I can see this match being consistant, with Guybrush dropping off a bit when the sun comes up.

Fire Emblem did very well during the day against Metal Gear and Silent Hill in the Series contest...but that's not saying much, and chances are it's not going to matter anyway.

I took Gordon > Duke because I had never even heard of Ike before the contest. Since there was only 5 other characters I had never heard of I thought that was a bad thing >_>

Duke's not out of this yet. Give it a few updates and see if he doesn't kick. The day vote definitely favors the Duke here.

Interestingly enough FE in the series contest won the day vote in both matches it was in. Sure it was against Silent Hill and Metal Gear, but still.

I'm probably the only one on this board who took Ike > Duke.

At least they're close enough to the point where I don't look like an idiot...

And shouldn't Ike have the best after-school vote of these three?

Why would Ike have a strong ASV? He's proving that there aren't many people who go to the site, and his update was 2 months ago. He's a very generic, unmemorable pile of trash and way more obscure than Gordon/Duke.

The same Duke Nukem who's as far away from Gordon as Ike is from him. Ike is definitely benefiting from the site, it's just that it's not as much as people were banking on (along with either Duke being stronger than expected, or Gordon being weaker... neither of which are exactly shocking). This match was always a crapshoot, the difference of a percentage or two isn't enough to cast wide generalizations... especially at the beginning of a match.

The only benefit Ike got from the site was having his update during the nomination period, and Board 8 being stupid enough to think he'd be a force.

Ike might not win the day vote, but if you think a Nintendo character doesn't have a good chance of doing it against two PC characters you're crazy.

Gordon should recover once the board/bracket votes wear off and Duke is looking real good for second.

You seem to be forgetting that Gordon is way more of a board favorite than Duke. If anything DUKE has the better chance to win at this point.


Uhh wouldn't most people figure that Gordon was a lock so they voted for the 2nd place character?

Yeah, it's not like Nukem and Gordon are really that much better at the day vote than Silent Hill or Metal Gear Solid.

Gordon is a pile of generic trash, and Duke Nukem is some one dimensional B movie character. Ike is a an awesome hero who gets really buff in the soon to come sequel.
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/2/2007 9:18:16 PM | message detail
In all honesty the thing that's keeping me from calling them all weak is how bad they're beating Guybrush. It's Guybrush, but...wow.
