Marth's picking up now.

Barring an absolute miracle, it's Marth > Duke.

That looked painful Kefka. Duke is not going to give up without a fight.

Ike and Marth are two completely different animals. There's no way to tell.

And Ike is going to have Pikachu there. We're not going to know crap about him no matter what happens with him, but honestly if he manages to get by Arthas I will be completely shocked.

it's awesome to see that, and honestly if Duke gets to the Division Finals then so be it. I have Link > Zack there anyways, and if I only miss 6 points in this entire division, then I'll be totally stoked.

wat? they're both from the same series, look more or less identical and 95% of their fan base comes from smash bros. difference is where exactly?

So I'm looking at a graph of total votes against time, and it's nothing like as crazy looking as the one everyone's looking at of percentage against time. It is clear that Duke is not very much affected by different patterns at different times of the day - his graph shows a reasonably straight line, whereas Marth's is curved as hell, with a good board vote, bad early morning vote, picking up well for the morning vote. Kefka shows a great board vote, followed by a weak early morning and a not-much-better morning. Niko appears to be picking up momentum as we head into the day after not doing so well throughout the very early morning or board votes.
charmander6000 | Posted 9/20/2008 6:45:45 AM | message detail
Come on Niko pass Kefka so I can be at least right about him coming in last.

Ike has a fanbase outside of Smash at least, I very much doubt that Marth does. At least outside of Japan.

Holy Duke!

From the last topic:

I was just thinking because I very seldom like to switch what I call people over the years(i am the game is the one exception), and I recall still calling you Brett for quite a while, but KP is a lot easier to type and you seem to have adopted that. I know I will never be able to change from ExTha, though.

Yeah, few people call me Brett anymore. Whenever someone does I'm surprised they remember. Call me Brett or KP or whatever you like.

If Niko was closer to Duke, he might be making a comeback attempt at this point. As it stands he'll just go from looking like a total bomb to just disappointing.

How much better were you expecting Niko to do? I had him at around Kefka. People need to start to admit that they were underestimating Duke here.

Looking at that graph every character has both outright won and lost an update.

That's true; this is more Duke than Niko. I mean, seriously, he was leading MARTH at one point. That's insane.

Duke and Niko are matching each other stride for stride now, but Duke's 2800 vote lead doesn't look in danger.

I still think Brett when I see you on here, but I figured I'd conform to everyone else calling you KP.

Either one is fine.

And for Niko to come back he would need to cut 20 votes an update for the next twelve hours. Has he even won an update on Duke recently?

Master Moltar | Posted 9/20/2008 7:56:18 AM | message detail
Wow, Duke actually took the lead from Marth for a little bit, and it took the morning vote to allow Marth to pull away again. Amazing.

Also lol @ Kefka, so he's just pulling a Crono and starting super strong and then decreasing all throughout the match. aww yeah

I think Niko's fallen too far behind to catch up now, which is kind of upsetting because he didn't even do that badly overnight, he just started off too slow.

Marth really sucked overnight, wow, but the rest of the match is his time, so he's looking to get back up to 29-30 at best.

I feel kind of sorry for Niko. Despite apparently being at or better than Vercetti's level, he'll still be labeled at a flop simply because Duke decided to rips our bracket's heads off.

Am I just seeing things, or did Duke actually take the lead from Marth at one point?
Master Moltar | Posted 9/20/2008 8:14:24 AM | message detail
I also like how this match continues my distrust in picking either kefka or gta to do well. So after wasting 3 weeks deciding which loser to put stock in, it all ends up for naught thanks to duke nukem of all characters.
