Yeah dude a swing has to be like, one character vastly in the lead at the start.



Swing =/= comeback? Alucard/Sora was even until the morning vote, Sora swung the match 10k votes. Simple stuff there.

I actually forget the biggest successful comeback ever. Was it Sonic/Crono?

I always think that a swing means how many votes overturned, whereas a comeback implies that the swing was successful, personally.

Oh well. Liquid > Phoenix for Round 2.

I'm fairly certain that the Board 8 Rally to get him in was a joke rally.

As the rallier, let me just say that Deckard Cain WAS NOT meant to be a joke character. I just think he's a cool guy.

It still wouldn't beat the 10k vote swing from Alucard/Sora

Judging vote swings by votes is misleading, since leads are going to naturally increase as votals increase. In terms of hourly percentages, Sora/Alucard isn't even in the Top 10 vote swings of its own contest. For example, the vote shift in Master Chief/Crono was way more dramatic, but the votals don't reflect that, since you're not starting at low numbers like Sora/Alucard was.

No, Phoenix is going to defend Bowser and get Luigi arrested for Peach's kidnapping.

Phoenix looks stronger this year. maybe he's just taking advantage of the split fanbase, but I thought Phoenix had a bit of a ceiling since not everyone has played his games.

his trends even look more normal this year. maybe he's got from fad to legit.

Bowser's never been that great with it for a Nintendo character... still thinking he gets the most, though. Deckard Cain might beat him out, though.

Not really... a smarter voter base would have voted for Cecil
or Niko (at least moreso than Duke)
or... not Altair

Oh wow, Bowser's on a rampage. And to think that this would be Phoenix's and Deckard's time too. Bowser should have no problems with the day though Geno's probably the one who's going to win it. Just look at how bad he's doing now. >_>

Ugh, Deckard is cutting away at Geno's lead. Not what I wanted to see happen. Geno could probably hold out until the morning vote, but I'm not sure if he would benefit from it.

of course, they're both losing it to Deckard Cain, but still, Phoenix lost it to Bomberman.

Wait, Bowser underperforming at night due to Phoenix dominating the night vote is causing Cain to overperform and thus winning a huge portion of updates against Geno?

I haven't been able to put together a full playthrough of a PW game(though I have the first one and JFA.)

I dunno what it is but I was charging through it when I first got it and at the third case I got stuck on something for a while and couldn't click on the right thing to progress the story and I never started again.

Tried another playthrough last summer and I just got bored of it. Now I don't even know where my game is. =(

Geno has done a very good job at withstanding Cain on the last 4 updates. He's taking very little damage to his lead right now, so I think he can hold out until the morning vote (and maybe the day vote).
