Why are you all trying to scrutinize this match using conventional trends? Ganon's cuts are because a handful of 4chan nerds proxy voting finally went to bed.

aggie is prolly right. Its not that Ganondorf is doing better... its just that mudkips votes are going down fast.

Lead has been holding at 850+ to 1000+ for ages now. I doubt Luigi will make sufficient inroads into that deficit, but you never know.

While Luigi isn't gaining as fast as Ganondorf, he's also gaining on Mudkip. But +900 votes is a lot in this format, so anything can happen I guess.

And Ganondork takes the lead!

Well it took a very long time, longer than expected at least, but Ganondorf has finally taken the lead from Mudkip. Meanwhile, however, Mudkip still has a sizeable lead over Luigi, and it has remained that way for the duration of this poll.

Its funny seeing the 4channers reactions once Mudkip lost the lead. They were desperate. So I expect Mudkip to fight a good fight now

I find it funny that you think 4chan are the only ones behind Mudkip being such a force. What about the ones that play Pokemon, or love voting for joke entries because they're sick and tired of seeing Sephiroth, Cloud, Link and Mario winning too damn often?

No prizes for guessing what I am.

message detail I don't really see how anyone can call this even remotely legit when Mudkip is comfortably outdoing his percentage from last round

Clearly Tingle stole all of Mudkip's joke votes last round.



This actually is somewhat plausible. Not much compared to 4chan but still a significant factor.

Starion | Posted 10/13/2007 3:40:31 AM | message detail
I would look more at the actual number of votes he got (37,000) rather than percentage. Maybe the overwhelming majority of those votes are from hardcore Mudkip/Pokemon fans and he's benefiting from the SFF between Luigi and Ganondorf. I mean that number is around the range of what Pikachu and Mewtwo got in the first round. Bidoof's 2nd round vote total kinda ruins that theory though.

Urgh. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2879

Why is their doubt about the cheating? Yes Mudkip has legitimate strength. Yes, the majority of his votes are legit. And yes, he has real fans. Just not this many. Could it be more obvious?

I'm pretty sure the before-school vote is Luigi's best time (Mario characters tend to be that way...the afterschool vote isn't quite as good)... maybe there's still hope for Mudkip!

OMFG I forgot it was Saturday... that's what happens when I'm not doing school. In that case... this is still Luigi's best time (even compared to other Nintendo characters), as it is the morning.
