Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 540

That being said, while I'm loving L-Block now, I'm kinda hoping he doesn't return, or if he does his "Always get 30%" stays the same in One on Ones. It would probably get old to see him keep beating really strong people in multiple contests.

His early rounds would probably be a lot more volatile, because there wouldn't be 8 diverse pictures, or user-made pics. With a bad SBAllen picture, he'd probably be screwed in 1-on-1 competition against a character of notable strength.

I've got to be up in 5 hours to go to work and ****. That means time for me to make my exit.

I expect to see Snake in first when I wake up..if ONLY to keep my longshot Guru entry alive. >_>

if sonic doesn't stop sucking soon, he won't have a chance at coming back.

Sonic is completely done. I'm hoping you're not that big a fan, because he has about a 0% chance to make it now. >_>

Bah. If his decreases were split evenly among the other 3 L-Block would win. The problem is that Snake is a dirty dirty vote hog

I know it was expected pre-contest, but I still can't believe how much worse Sonic is looking than Snake here. Especially after his supposed Brawl boost. Did that just last for one match or something? Or is this still boosted Sonic, and Snake (or L-Block?) is SFFing him?
creativename | Posted 10/31/2007 9:49:50 PM | message detail
Dammit. Snake is benefitting way too one-sidedly from L-Block's decreases. L-Block can't win like that. Come on Sonic and Squall get back in the game

L-Block is not winning :)


With how awful sonic is during the night, L-block is still trouncing him every update. Snake is getting things under control again, but if sonic doesn't stop sucking soon, he won't have a chance at coming back.

I can't even believe what I'm typing here.


Sonic's chances pretty much ended 90 seconds in.

StarCraft's run is more impressive.

Starcraft's run is impressive, but nothing nearly as impressive as a tetris block dethroning a noble niner.

I think you're mistaken. L-block doesn't simply win, it gets second place in every match. This will continue even as we go back to two way matches next year unfortunately. >_>

Hah, this would be so true, except that L will probably place 3rd in the last match :) (he could place 4th, but I think he's got a great shot at accomplishing the Snake flip-flop)

There we go. L bypasses 2000 and shoots right up to 2100 over Sonic.
Mac Arrowny | Posted 10/31/2007 9:53:46 PM | message detail
If we want something impressive, we have to go back to Link in 2k2, I think. Nobody expected him to bring on that level of destruction. Does that measure up to what L's doing now?

My favourite characters generally suck it up horribly, so I've learned to not really care how well they do. Besides, I only like sonic a bit, not nearly as much as I like the idea of a tetris block beating a noble niner. Come to think of it this would be ten times more hilarious if crono didn't already lose.

Also, lol @ squall making a cut. Insult to injury if I've ever seen it.

I don't think anyone expected Link to rock it as hard as he did, but he was still one of the top five or six guys expected to be strongest.

Er, couldn't Sonic come back against Snake at least? The lead's less than Sonic/Crono at this time last year. I know it's not too likely considering how Snake's day vote has changed and the fewer amount of votes to go around, but I wouldn't call it impossible yet.

I'd wager L's leads Snake for at least a third of the match, probably more.

Before the match I estimated he'd lead for 6 hours. It'll probably be more than that, 8-14 hours sounds right. Leading for half the match would be an achievement.


I wouldn't count Sonic out.

I'll say it again (well, okay, someone else said it before): the last three matches all have low early votals. They started late and/or had glitches when they did. If you're comparing votals with earlier matches (I did), use earlier matches. We're only 500 over Cloud/Marcus/Auron/Ryu, for example.
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 10/31/2007 9:56:50 PM | message detail
Sonic's going to be down by over 2000 an hour into the match.

I'd wager he's done.

I don't really understand the loyalty thing here. I've voted for L-Block this whole contest and will do so until the final. That's when I go to my true colors (aww yeah Cloud)

Seriously, isn't this site really polarized in terms of Cloud or Link, as in, your soul belongs to one of these two? L-Block doesn't have a chance of leading for more than a couple of minutes with these favorites in the poll ( whoever is 4th is pretty much arbitrary)

L should follow more or less the same pattern - pulling in 30% with the night and 26% with the day, ending around 29% - but Snake has to start his run from 26% rather than 30%. This match isn't quite over yet. :)

Sonic is done, there's no reason to try and delude yourself into thinking otherwise. This is between L and Snake... and if L can keep making 100 vote gains past an hour into the match, I'm liking his goddamn chances. Why oh why do I have to wake up so ****ing early tomorrow? One more update and it's bed for me.

Expect L-Block's support to dwindle next round.

Seeing as he'll be facing weaker guys while probably maintaining a similar percentage, he probably won't look as impressive, but he'll still have no trouble taking care of Chief and Dante. The next round is pretty much in the bag for Snake and L-Block.
