That's because both were clear locks for first and were thus not-bracketvoted. Especially Zero with how close HK/Jak/Lloyd were at the start.

Yeah. Crono's going to end up doing what he should be doing. I suppose if people were hoping Crono would impress here, they would be disappointed, but other than that.

That Link stuff was dumb, though!

Crono and Mega Man have fairly similar trends, actually.. they're four hour beasts. the difference is that Crono's got a more loaded front vote and Mega Man has an average day vote while Crono has a bad one. but both are best at the beginning of the poll and bleed from then on.

The badness of this Nightvote will be reversed come day time. I can't see Crono finishing over 38% and I can't see Zero finishing under 32%.

From transience
hmm.. what were people expecting for Crono here? I had him at 38%, so this looks all right by my expectations. I don't see this as a colossal failure.. but then, some people were calling Link a failure yesterday and that was just stupid.

Personally, I expected about 40% from him, so I think he's doing pretty well. In his last round, Crono had 40.04% at 1:02, and he ended at 48.18%. He'll definitely manage over 40% in the end.

You know, just a thought, Protoman did better on an arguably stronger Zero than did Lloyd. And that's before considering the massive amounts of SFF that were present there.

How would Protoman do if he ever made the field? Low-mid midcarder?

I could see him beating out guys like HK and Raiden.

Actually, looking at Crono/Mega Man 2k5, MM increased a good portion with the day vote. Crono had him at 46% in the night, and he managed to gain 2% by the end of the match. That was a much stronger Crono to boot.

Yeah, we've gone from Crono being top non-Clinkeroth dog to Crono assuming Snake's old position as the ass end of the Noble Nine. He needs a good remake or a good sequel NOW.

in this format I'd bet on Sonic.

I don't remember anyone debating ABCA for that, though it may have been before my time. MM/Link pretty much silenced any MM/Mario debate.

2k5, Sonic and MM were equal with Crono a clear notch ahead of them.

2k6, Sonic Crono and MM were all equal as the bottom tier of the Noble Nine

Now, I'd say Sonic and Mega are equal (at least until Brawl comes out) with Crono a clear notch below them.

Sad to see what used to be the 2 strongest non-Clinkeroth NNers at the bottom of the totem pole.

Zero is winning the night vote?

A 36% update and then a near 35% one after not posting any updates over 33% since the beginning of the match.

indeed but is is clear that sonic characters in general lose strength in this format

Sonic looked worse than master chief in round one.

This ain't the night vote. Heck I'd say the second hour is closer to the day vote than the night vote. Watching Zero try to cut Crono here is pretty hilarious, though.

I don't want to draw anything from this match, since this could be Crono's weakness more than Zero's strength, which actually bodes very bad for my upset. I need Crono and Vincent to split evenly for it to have a chance in hell.

I'd say this pack is a bit stronger, but Crono has all day to drop.

Zero >>> Sub Zero

Raiden >= Prince ...i may be overestimating prince even seeing as i don't remember his matches

HK > Joe

uhh.. probably the Zero pack. not sure where Viewtiful Joe is, but he can't be equal to HK in this format.

I hate to admit it because of how wrong it feels, but I can see Zero/Subby going 53-47 or so. I thought last year was a fluke for Subs, but the numbers he put up on Sonic are too impressive to ignore.

Too bad Link blitzes any chance Zero has... :(
It's not Link that will blitz Zero's chances... I am so very sure Zero will evade SFF (bold prediction?!). It will be that Vincent and Crono won't share enough fanbase which will prevent Zero from getting second. That is to say, if Crono beats Zero by as much as he is right now. The poll is still early... maybe Zero can close the percentage gap on Crono.

I am quite surprised Zero is this close to Crono at all...I hope it's not just early voters. I'm starting to wonder if that underwear picture hurts Zero...

We have to nominate Raiden again just to see how he performs when he doesn't look like a toaster. And nominate Mewtwo again to see how he performs when he isn't up against Bowser and Ryu in the first round.
Melting Big Boss did better than Raiden. Raiden failed. 'nuff said. Mewtwo, however, really needs to come back.

I still fail to see how Link does anything to Zero. If Zero can avoid SFF from Mega Man I can't see Link SFFing him, especially given Mega Man/Zelda falling exactly to expectations in 2k3.

Link/Megaman? And remember, Link doesn't have to SFF Zero in a normal match in terms of beating him by more than expected in order to share a fanbase with him, and hurt his prospects here.

22% on SFFed to hell Pac-Man, Mario, and Wander vs 20% on Sam Fisher, Crono, and Simon Belmont?

I'd say Raiden looked better than melthing Big Boss easy. Mario may be stronger than Crono but Simon Belmont would probably 65-35 either of the other two opponents, that's how bad it is.
