Man, Link is just so damn disgusting in these contests. It doesn't
really sink in until you think about it and then realize that he's been
in 30 contest matches (including BR) and has gotten 1st place in all
but two of them. learn to do basic math --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." - Joseph Stalin |

I usually look towards the percents first, so I like it. Thanks, creative! I figure that cumulative votes are pretty irrelevant, so moving them to the back makes sense. I think this occurred to me to do before but I never bothered. The font of the columns looks pretty stupid right now but I like the ordering better. The fonts are unchanged, but I make the % per update bigger, cause I figure if someone is sorting by time that's what they're interested in. Should I make it normal again? Or make it bold? Or leave like this? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Considering we're most of the way through the night now... I don't
think Cloud + Sephiroth is going to be much higher in percentage than
they are now. They aren't beating Link (who's drained by Samus) by very
much. It'll be interesting to make the comparison of Cloud+Sephiroth
vs. Link + Samus as opposed to Sephiroth + Vincent vs. Link + Mario.
I'm expecting at this point... 39/28/18/15 for the final score. That
would mean Cloud+Sephiroth gets 43%, and Link+Samus gets 57%. Last
round, Sephiroth + Vincent got 41.33% and Link+Mario got 58.67%.
Naturally I would've expected FF7 to be doing a little more now that
Vincent was replaced with Cloud and using the idea that Mario = Samus.
Really, I would've expected Cloud+Sephiroth to get more like 45% at the
least. We'll see how the final percentages end up, though. And, I won't
complain if the math doesn't agree with what I expect, since Samus is
different from Mario, anyway. --- "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." |

Funny... Sephiroth has been climbing while Cloud has been falling. But,
Samus fell the fastest of everyone in the morning... Samus has only
gained about 100 votes on Sephiroth since 3:30. --- "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." |

Match LXII: Master Chief vs Dante vs L-Block vs Solid Snake Past Matches Round 4 Master Chief - 32.12% Dante - 26.59% Luigi - 23.07% Pikachu - 18.22% L-Block - 29.03% Solid Snake - 28.86% Sonic - 21.63% Squall - 20.49% Analysis I’m off on another trip, this time to the Cross Country Provincials and I’ll be missing a good chunk of both round five matches though I should make it in time for the final match. Last round Master Chief easily takes first though he doesn’t look as dominant as he was in round 2 and with the help of Pikachu this round Dante was able to beat both the rat and Luigi. Being the constant percent getter L-Block manages to do the impossible and defeats two noble nines at the same time, however Snake kept it really close. Despite losing last round I think Solid Snake has a great chance at coming in first in this match. Unlike last round this match is much weaker so Snake will probably rise in percent while L-Block will probably stay around the 29% mark. It may have been embarrassing to have lost to it last round, but the L-Block is a total anomaly in GameFAQs contests. L-Block will get second since it is the most consistent character I’ve ever seen. Despite competition its lowest and highest percent is a 2.56 point difference and in this format it does better in the presence of stronger competition. There have been a lot of people who have openly said that they’re going to rally for it in a traditional contest match though I wouldn’t be surprise if it only got 28% on its first round opponent. This contest has gotten out of hand because of the L-Block and the only way I see it losing is during the finals and even then I wouldn’t be surprised if it got second there. While this format almost seems to be made for Master Chief not even he can challenge the way the format benefits L-Block. Since L-Block seems to get around 29% the only way Master Chief has a chance is if Snake SFF Dante so bad that he gets under 10% and it’s Master Chief who benefits from Dante’s percent drop. Halo 3 may have been the biggest game released during the contest, but L-Block has an entire country behind it. Dante will come in last, he’s the weakest character in the poll plus I’m pretty sure that there may be some kind of freaky PS2 SFF that’ll keep Dante from doing anything in this match. I also believed that it should’ve been Luigi who made it to this match and it’ll be nice watching Dante getting crushed into the ground here. Like for the past two rounds both Solid Snake and L-Block will be advancing and to continue with tradition they’ll switch places again. With the L-Block doing to well I’m surprised we haven’t seen a bracket with the L-Block as the champion and to think I had it losing in the first round in my bracket, not who’s the stupid one. charmander6000’s Bracket: Solid Snake > Sonic charmander6000’s Prediction: Solid Snake - 31.73%, L-Block - 28.82%, Master Chief - 23.38%, Dante - 16.07% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 61: Link > Cloud Points: 317/512 |

Samus beating Sephiroth really is confusing. I guess that means Samus

can't come up with a better explanation for it. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ "This topic is pretty hot and exciting to read." - LusterSoldier Arsenal FC: 8-0-2. Pts: 26. Position: 1st L5: W-W-W-W-D |

Well, if it's true that the only Nintendo character that can really SFF
her is Mario, then I guess that explains her poll showing in the BR. You know, other than the fact that 5 other super popular characters were there.

This has been surprising. I had thought that it wouldn't be too much of
a surprise if no Nintendo character was represented on Sunday, but
Link's making this match look easy after I wasn't all that impressed
with his run so far. Sephiroth being in last at this point is a
surprise as well. --- Insert sig here |

Sephiroth won one hour? Looks like he's
well on his way to winning a few more, but this performance is a pretty
ugly one for Square. If Cloud can't even hit 30% despite making Seph
look worse than Samus, he'd better hope his fans stay put and Link's
jump on the L-Block express. He certainly isn't stronger than Link this
year. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Why isn't Samus getting more love? With all the talk about Samus/Snake
last year being a fluke last year, she's easily outperforming Snake
against Sephiroth in the exact same scenario. And this is against SFF
from a stronger TP boosted Link. I'm pretty impressed. Also notice Cloud doing 5% better with Samus replacing Snake and Link doing 4-5% worse. Interesting to see how numbers from shared fanbases work out. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |
