Gordon's weakness today is enough to stop him from beating Sub-Zero no matter how much the Orange Box does for him.

Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need.

Heh. We can still call it a stall even if Ike's already 200 votes behind, right...?

He's only 125 behind Gordon. Ike might still beat him, depending on how his voting trends play out.

Erm, from what I can tell from that video, Monkey Island is awesome and Guybrush is lame. Or are things different in the rest of the series?

Pretty much the rest of the series is Monkey Island being awesome and Guybrush simultaneously being awesome as well!

Yeah, he's not touching Sub-Zero, but an extra port could have given him an edge in this match.

I think we can all agree on one thing here.

Star of the Round: Guybrush

So if people think Gordon will win the day vote over Nukem, doesn't that also imply that Nukem will also take off ahead of Gordon even further when night hits. That's kind of scary. Even if Gordon does do a bit better I can't say it'd be enough to make any sort of comeback. It actually seems like Gordon's best hope is that he takes the night vote and builds a lead, and that the day vote looks a lot like the first hour and Gordon stalls him.

Fire Emblem did unbelievably well with the day vote, shaving 3% away from Metal Gear. Compare that to the epic KH day vote -- 4%.

It's harder to compare summer/weekend matches since there's no one big separation between night and day in the form of ASV. It's kind of hard to make a judgement there

Not necessarily. It's entirely possible for 2 characters to have similar night votes, then one of them takes off in the day. I can't see that happening here though. Duke and Gordon should keep it close unless one of them takes off in the dead hours.

Yeah. Gordon might make it interesting though if he keeps cutting!

I can see Duke winning here simply because Gordon > Duke ensures me being on the leaderboard for a change.

The n00b Avenger | Posted 10/2/2007 10:21:20 PM | message detail
Well it's fairly common for the person that improves from the first 2 hours with the night vote to lose the day vote. Besides characters with really strong opening hours, I can't even think of a counter example to that

okay.

the board hates Guybrush.

I hope you all choke.

now that that's out of the way: I like Ike in the daytime, just because the other choices suck more. it doesn't look like it's going to matter, though. kinda curious to see where the night vote goes.

Liquid/Alucard is a pretty good example. They both made huge gains on Ness overnight, but Ness failed to improve with the day, and Ness had a really good first hour.

I'm not so sure if it's the board hating Guybrush as much as it's us loving our brackets. With so many more possibilities in every match, it's clear to see why bracket voting is more prevalent in the early minutes now than ever before.

What? Ness is exactly what I mean by strong opening vote. Ness was overinflated due to his power hour. And he improved massively with the morning vote, going from 21% to 28%.

The problem was that it's a weekend so it's too diluted

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.
