I wouldn't be surprised if GlaDOS is outright winning the poll in the
first minute. It all goes downhill from there, but her fanbase is
pretty rabid. --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |

I would. It may be rabid, but it ain't big enough with how large the board vote is these days. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Vincent would lose an opening vote to.. well, Bidoof. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Vincent? The guy who was losing to Bidoof for an hour? I should think you'd be more worried about Falco in the first few minutes, since Wander clearly isn't doing anything. --- Mustache...and green... |

The Power Hour really isn't Nintendo's anymore, it's the FFVI/Chrono Trigger/Mega Man Power 3 Hours. ...Doesn't really have the same ring to it. --- Mustache...and green... |
| ZFS | Posted 9/13/2008 8:27:14 PM | message detail |

But to be fair, Bidoof would lead any of these guys for longer than he did Vincent. --- let's mosey |

|
Psh, there's a difference between the Power Hour and "My day vote is so
bad that it makes my night vote look great!" At least Nintendo has a
vote that lasts beyond the night. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

...that's the definition of a power hour, man. a time when they're much stronger than the rest of the poll. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Yeah, but those guys aren't any good in the dead zone, during-school,
or second night vote anymore (except for a certain amphibious creature
in close matches). They just sort of completely die off after 3 AM. --- Mustache...and green... |

...that's the definition of a power hour, man. a time when they're much stronger than the rest of the poll. But at least Nintendo doesn't die off right afterwards. That's the difference. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

then it's not much of a power hour for them, is it? --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

WHY ARE WE DEBATING THE DEFINITION OF POWER HOUR. GOD DAMNIT BACON. So yeah, will SMRPG on the Virtual Console do anything for Geno? --- Brawl FC: 4296-2658-3681 (KP) |
| LeonhartFour | Posted 9/13/2008 8:33:09 PM | message detail |
|
Yes, it is. Link will dominate for the first hour of a poll. Then he'll
still be strong for the rest of the day. Just...not as strong. FFVI and
CT are dead come sunrise. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I'm kinda concerned that Phoenix Wright is Nintendo SFF prone after his
second round match last year, but with Geno getting affected more, I
don't have to worry about him failing to advance, at least. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Mega Man meaning just Mega Man! It doesn't seem to work for Zero, he didn't get it in any of his matches. --- Mustache...and green... |

...What's the "4th character" thing exactly? Phoenix didn't do as well proportionately to Magus is more of what I was noticing. Weakest character in the poll does worse than they should.

Here's a good example of Mega Man getting it over two Nintendo characters: Time | Mega Man | Yoshi | Samus | Scorpion 01:00 | 33.53% | 17.46% | 33.69% | 15.32% 02:00 | 33.39% | 16.78% | 32.61% | 17.22% 03:00 | 33.78% | 17.34% | 32.71% | 16.16% 04:00 | 31.96% | 18.67% | 31.80% | 17.57% 05:00 | 30.40% | 19.06% | 32.77% | 17.77% 06:00 | 27.69% | 21.50% | 32.10% | 18.71% 07:00 | 27.01% | 21.65% | 33.45% | 17.89% 08:00 | 26.82% | 21.78% | 34.28% | 17.12% 09:00 | 26.79% | 21.59% | 33.87% | 17.74% 10:00 | 27.82% | 22.31% | 34.48% | 15.40% 11:00 | 29.17% | 20.36% | 34.42% | 16.05% 12:00 | 29.41% | 20.13% | 33.50% | 16.95% 13:00 | 28.75% | 19.57% | 34.67% | 17.00% 14:00 | 29.57% | 19.41% | 33.55% | 17.47% 15:00 | 29.00% | 19.44% | 33.85% | 17.72% 16:00 | 28.69% | 19.46% | 33.90% | 17.95% 17:00 | 30.51% | 19.36% | 32.71% | 17.42% 18:00 | 30.24% | 19.27% | 32.11% | 18.38% 19:00 | 31.15% | 18.74% | 32.73% | 17.38% 20:00 | 30.45% | 18.20% | 32.08% | 19.26% 21:00 | 32.06% | 18.18% | 32.29% | 17.47% 22:00 | 32.48% | 18.03% | 29.68% | 19.80% 23:00 | 31.98% | 17.83% | 31.21% | 18.98% 00:00 | 33.43% | 15.88% | 32.25% | 18.45% I'm guessing this match was on a weekend as there's no afterschool vote, but, again, three hours then bleh. Mega Man is still more of a day character than a night character (different than FFVI/CT), but he definitely takes advantage of the first three hours of the match as they do. --- Mustache...and green... |

Man, Mega Man really fell off after the first three hours in the match
with Cloud. I guess it was partly coupled with the fact that Cloud
takes off like a rocket after the first hour or so, too. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

| For Mega Man's trends, look no further than that Sonic match. Great in the evening and night, terrible in the morning/day. I'm wondering if he suffers from the "classic" character syndrome like Crono and Kefka, where all his fans are older and are on later in the evening. |

For comparison purposes: 2006: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2498 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2497 (how prescient) Series (kinda): http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2424 Villains: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1970 Games: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1558 2003: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1284 Perfect sans 2003; the polls even predicted Snake in the male bracket and sort of predicted The Legend of Zelda in the series contest. --- Mustache...and green... |
