Looks like I'm getting 1-2 points for this match. I'm liking Gordon's chances of placing first here. He should have a better day vote than Duke.

Nukem and Guybrush apparently benefiting a little from Ike dying in the night. Gordon seeming relatively stable throughout the entire match

Duke's definitely showing more power here. Gordon has yet to break 33% on a 5 minute update beyond the first two, whereas Duke has hit 37% a few times. I have my doubts if Freeman is even capable of 37% updates here. Let's make it official.

BOLD PREDICTION: Gordon Freeman doesn't break 37% in a 5 minute update in this match.

Now that's much better for Duke. Ike's really dropping now though. A 2 vote gain on Guybrush is horrible. At least we know he wins the day vote.

I was trying to imply Ike's strongest time may be the night because of the SSBB-site earlier...sounds like there's some kind of truth to it, though I definitely want to see how he does in the day to see if he can do anything like FE or SSBM tend to do. I predict he's more known for his SSBB-announcement than being in FE though (when I assumed the opposite around nomination time)...plus Marth didn't do a lot in the day, and he's not only FE but also very liked and used in SSBM.

darn you guybrush

I'm pretty sure Ike does better in the daytime. it's probably going to be like Ness - merely enough to stall - but it'll definitely be better than it is right now. you can't compare Ike and Marth either, they're totally different situations and their opponents are polar opposites.

Guybrush – 100%
Gordon Freeman – 0%
Ike – 0%
Duke Nukem – 0%


This is by far the best HM we have ever seen....

You really think so? Ike's nearly 3% down from Gordon and still dropping (2 more hours of the night)... it's not looking good for Ike. He'll probably need to have nearly an SSB-style day vote to catch up to Gordon.

The n00b Avenger | Posted 10/3/2007 1:16:43 AM | message detail
Considering Ike is averaging 25% here and Gordon looks like he's going to hang around 30% all day, Ike would need a 5% swing just to stall Gordon. Probably a 7-8% swing to catch up and win. Sora himself only managed about a 7% swing yesterday. Unless Gordon actually drops later on, Ike has a tall order if he wants to catch up

And at the moment it seems Ike is averaging even less than 25%. Looks the like 5:00 hour is going to be brutal, he may only get 22% if that keeps up

And if you disregard Ike's power hour, he really hasn't fallen that much with the night vote. Not much more than Gordon or Nukem has anyway

For some reason the proxy I'm using to get round the stupid school blocks (not to vote, mods) doesn't allow me onto www.sc2k5.com. Any other good updaters? I don't like refreshing the poll...I prefer the more easy to read interface on the updater.

Alright, this is better...so it would seem that Gordon and Duke bob around the same number for a few minutes, then Duke spikes to increase his lead by like 50 or something.

But yeah.

So how much of Ike's 'success' are we attributing to his SSBB announcement, if any?
