Ouch, Vincent trying to pull away. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 211/304 -- T-792 (53 way) Bracket: Link > Crono -- Vote: Crono! |

| I know I already look like a fool after pretty much calling it for Crono last night (to add to the irony, Vincent started coming back about ten minutes after I went to bed), but I really don't see Crono doing anything other than struggling for the next two hours. His morning vote was extremely poor, and we rarely see morning/after school voting trends defied to such an extent that would make a Crono win realistic. |

| So it looks like it is down to 3 matches of
importance left for me. So who wants to take the odds that Yuna >
Ganondorf holds up tomorrow? Hopefully I can make leaderboard for the
1st time ever after today cuz tommorow just aint happening... but yeah
Vincent winning this is one of the better things to happen in this
tournament that and the L-Block. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

Yes, Vincent has his lead. Now he just needs to make it as solid as he can, and then the ASV should really aid his cause. --- Pokemon Diamond FC: 0215-7322-4653 "Death by fire, by cold, by crushing, by blade. Did the end come as you wish?" -Lezard Valeth, Valkyrie Profile 2 |

Hey right now with my only shot of winning on the line I would like to
propose the lack of nintendo factor the LNF. We all saw the atrocity
that DK was and the Chief could barely take him why because he is
Nintendo. I think we all know what that means tomorrow. We are gonna
see massive LNF leading to massive Chief percentage bleeding. Meanwhile
the Dorf and Luigi will have an epic battle of who can steal more votes
from the Cheif's ASV while Yuna swoops in and has her first match with
no SFF or LFF to worry about. Yuna steals the lead and thats the game.
The LNF will have left the Chief in ruins... Or EC will just totally thwart my chances of winning by having Chief win the match and thus eliminating me... You decide --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

I can't believe Crono has blown his lead this early. It isn't the ASV
yet! And yes, the N9 is now officially broken. The results would not be
any different in a 1 vs 1 match. --- Hochiminh155's Trail to Victory Future winner of the Summer 2007 Contest |

It's pretty stupid that people (yes, even joke troll alts) are calling the Noble 9 broken based on an assumption. Link vs. Mario vs. Samus vs. L-Block Guess that match would break it twice. |

The difference between Crono and Vincent's performances on Sonic were
so close as to be almost meaningless, especially when comparing them in
this format. It's near crazy that people are calling this to be the end
of The Nine as well, seeing all the reasons why it shouldn't be (coming
in second is arbitrary, just as the elimination method of the Battle
Royale) and all the things that could be hindering Crono here
(Vincent's fan-favorite status, Link having MUCH more of a connection
with Crono than him, etc.). Extremely surprised and pleased to see Vincent ahead here. He won't drop this, and unlike Crono shouldn't blow it when I state that. But I'll have to cut my musings short, as I think a certain old-timer is in the middle of hunting me down and kicking me in the balls right now. :( << --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario.

Alright Crono, here's the plan. Get the lead back this hour (Crono's second best hour, second only to the first hour, against Vincent in 2005.), and build it to 100 votes by 3 PM. Shock everyone by losing no ground to Vincent from 3 to 6 PM. Vincent's ASV/evening vote finally becomes too powerful, and he takes a lead after 6, and builds it to 600 by 10. Crono starts coming back around 10:30, slowly, rapidly accelerates past 11, and goes berserk past 11:30. CJayC....er....SBAllen forgets to close the poll, Crono surges into the lead at 12:05, and the poll promptly closes at 12:10. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 211/304 -- T-792 (53 way) Bracket: Link > Crono -- Vote: Crono! |

I'm guessing I'm the only one who despite ARGHing at KB more than
anyone (why did he make this topic...? >_<) give Squall more than
a fair shot there. Getting at least a legit 42.5 on Snake isn't
anything to scoff at, and any Squall rise/Crono drop could easily do
what random variation doesn't. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| Crono has two hours to build up a lead (Which is
hard to do considering he isn't even winning) beofe the worst hours he
has by far. I predict Crono loses to Vincent by close to 1000 votes.

I cannot believe Crono blew a 1000 vote lead this fast. And he is

I'm surprised to see it's still close. Must have been fun to see Crono
retake the lead with a big update whenever Vincent finally took it.

As far as the noble nine is concerned, you can make the argument that
it isn't broken, but it's hard to deny that the idea behind them not
being able to be beaten has certainly diminished -- and that may as
well be "breaking" it. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |

Honestly, theres no excuse for Crono losing this. Its not Vincent
beating Mario because of Link and Samus stealing votes or something.
Crono has no real factor hindering him and there is no proof that he'd
win 1 on 1 anymore. Even if we keep the Noble Nine for now, I wouldn't
be surprised in the least if Crono just breaks it next year anyway. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

Well, to be fair, it wouldn't take very much of anything to turn the current
deficit around in a one-on-one setting. But I would agree that there is
little reason for Crono to be losing, outside of the obvious "Vincent
is the stronger character." It would be a bit silly to point at Link
causing this when Vincent has looked like the better of the two all
contest, not even to mention that we have seen Link and Crono go up
against each other before without anything fishy happening. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |

There doesn't have to be anything 'fishy' in a given match for there to be overlap.

| But can we really say that the Noble Nine is
broken or that Vincent has taken Crono's spot in a four-way match? I
feel like in order to really say that we'd need a 1v1. This format
introduces so many factors that I don't think it's really applicable to
talk about the Noble Nine being broken or replaced. --- My Contest Hero: Riku Currently playing: Aria of Sorrow, Silent Hill 2, Super Mario RPG |

Hmm.... I was gonna use this match to comment on some theories I had as to vote trends, but I'm not sure they entirely qualify. Basically, I thought that characters that did well at night, did well for one of two reasons. A) A hardcore fanbase. I don't think that Crono's fanbase is more likely to be on line in the middle of the night. Instead, I think that Crono (and other characters with a hardcore fanbase) always have that fanbase voting throughout the entire match. However, the reason they do well at night is because the fanbase stays solid and makes up a much larger percentage of the votes, while other character's support drops off. To this end, their midday vote should be much weaker than their night vote since the amount of votes coming in is more. However, Crono's last hour was almost up to par as with the first hours of the poll, so I might have to rethink my hypothesis on that somewhat. Final Fantasy happens to have a very large hardcore base meaning that it does fantastic at night because it eats up much more of the percentage, but this combined with its quasi-casual nature helps it out a lot with the midday vote as well, which explains Vincent here and other Final Fantasy characters impressing with it. The rest of my theory basically had to do with "Mature" characters like Resident Evil, GTA, and MGS, which do really well with the midday vote because they dominate the more casual adult fanbase that is voting. --- "Look out-- It's Liquids and Gases!" |
