I would say it's much more likely Vincent catch up to Crono than for Zero to catch up to Vincent. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

How likely/unlikely is it for Zero to be able to come back and take third? Less than 1%. Crono is light years ahead already, and this is Vincent's worst time. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

There were also twice as many votes in Crono/Sonic as Crono/Vincent, making the lead half as big in a relative sense. I agree, but look at Frog/Axel. --- "i go by statisticss put them all in an arena sepphroth="why arent your hair and mustache the same color?!" BAM dead mario" -Rathalownage |

Yeah, Vincent may make this look better,
but I'd be stunned at Crono if he dropped it after this. That would be
Frog-esque (and sure, same game, but Vincent's no Axel/Sonic). --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

There were also twice as many votes in Crono/Sonic as Crono/Vincent, making the lead half as big in a relative sense. 1. Frog/Axel implies that comebacks in this format can be just as big as in a one-on-one. 2. This has a much bigger vote total than Crono/Sonic 3. Sonic won by 2000 votes. Vincent doesn't need to do that much. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

which means link could be benefiting from the split.explaining his performance. Yes, the people who called LFF here were right. I didn't think it would happen this match. But despite that, Link is still looking good against Cloud, this is a very good performance so far. umm.. not to rain on everyone's "GAME" posts, but Crono had this kind of lead on Sonic too The relative %age lead is much higher here. It should get much tighter, as both should do well overnight and Vincent wins the day, but Crono isn't quite as bad as front-loaded as Frog, and he'd have to be something approaching that to lose. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

It'd be nice if Vincent could start making a few cuts here soon. He probably won't, though. But this should end up looking a lot more respectable the further we get away from this starting hour, even if Vincent doesn't manage to come back. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |

AUGH! How can you say Vincent is worse with the day vote than Sonic
when they had a direct match, and Vincent improved on Sonic after the
first hour! That just shows Sonic has a better Power Hour than Vincent...which is definitely worth noting, sure, but don't label the other twenty-three hours as the day-vote. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

AUGH! How can you say Vincent is worse with the day vote than Sonic
when they had a direct match, and Vincent improved on Sonic after the
first hour! That's because of Vincent's great overnight vote. In terms of raw %age swings, the overnight vote is often the most important. But yeah, the difference between Vincent and Sonic in the day isn't as big as people are making it out to be. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I think completely counting out Vincent here is a bit premature. Crono
is out to a good lead right now, but the amount he's increasing his
lead by is getting smaller and smaller. If Vincent starts making cuts
in the first hour, and Crono's lead is something like 500, he wouldn't need to be an Axel to turn that around. That said, it's probably not too likely that it happens, but it's a bit early to be completely dooming Vincent, especially knowing the anti-FF7 vote is always present for a good while early on. --- "Ha!

...Vincent/Squall? Vincent/Crono? Weren't those close? I was thinking about those earlier, actually. But then I remembered Cloud/Sephiroth '03. They were neck and neck back then, and still pretty close in later matches. But in last year's Battle Royale, Cloud dropped Sephiroth enough for him to lose to Solid Snake. Just because they're close one-on-one doesn't mean much here, I don't think. |

Link is not characterless. He actually had every character in the world
stuffed into him, but then his true, silent badass character told them
all to shut it. I wish we were back in 2002 when the board actually liked Link. =( --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Really? Not to be one of those after-the-fact "this was obvious"

Well you're certainly not after-the-fact, I think it was you that I was discussing this with where you expected LFF :) I didn't think it would happen, though of course I'm not shocked or anything.
