This is hardly even fair. Of course people are going to latch on to names that are most recognizable. Way to **** up, Bacon. "James" to quintuple "Ganondorf" confirmed. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I'm not surprised that KOS-MOS is underperforming due to lack of pic. I
would imagine that "OMG Hot Robot Babe!" is a substantial part of her
appeal. --- "No matter how far we go, all we see are ruins. How can this be our future?"--Knuckles the Echidna |

I wonder how much having the colorful pic in the poll grabs potential voters into the poll. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Come to think of it, though, I am looking forward to seeing how the percentage shifts after the pic goes up. ...if it goes up. |

If there were no match pics, I could see CT completely reversing their drop. >_> --- i am false |

greatone10 (#154) Eh, based on the last two matches...this match is about 400 votes behind the normal pace. ....meaning pretty significant >_> --- i am false |

In all seriousness, this is a complete failure on Bacon's part. I'm sure you're busy, but come on, the work's done for you! --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Yeah, we got 400 less votes than we normally do at the start of every match. Definitely slanted towards Frog. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Hmm....we're almost 400 votes below yesterday in terms of votals. Frog
has a 126 vote lead, but he only rose 2 votes in the last minute, and
CT has crashed and burned later on too many times for me not to be
extremely nervous. --- Character Battle VII --- Score: 28/32 --- T-8 (119 way) Bracket: Samus > Nightmare --- Vote: Samus |

Didn't Squall Vs. Kirby start without a pic too? Kirby performed better
at first, then Squall for the rest of the first hour, than Squall
started dropping in percentage again. Anyone know when the pic was
added? --- "No matter how far we go, all we see are ruins. How can this be our future?"--Knuckles the Echidna |

These people will just vote later. It's not like KOS-MOS just missed out on 750 votes. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Someone should notify Bacon just in case. I remember Ceej not knowing
about some glitch in the poll once until someone actually emailed him
because he hadn't visited the site that day (was it Ryu vs Jill 2k4?) --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

God damn, Frog is so damn awesome in these contests. I mean he's an emo in his game, but you cant deny the sob brings in an awesome show contest wise. --- Warning, there is a bear right behind you. Ride Him. |

These people will just vote later. It's not like KOS-MOS just missed out on 750 votes. Uh, what about the people that would have voted for robot chick with boobies and instead already voted for the nondescript name 'Frog' instead? --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

| Big picture draws people to the poll. Nobody is really being hurt more than the others by there being no picture. |

| So according to my bracket I now have 30 points. There are only 3 people at the top of the list with 30 points and I am not one of them. What the hell? Im positive I filed for the contest version and not the "just for fun" tournament. My name isn't even in the top 30. |

I fully expect Frog to get trashed by both Kos Mos and Ganondorf once the pic is up and board vote is over. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

With this huge drop in votals, no doubt KOS-MOS could be making this resemble something somewhat competitive with pics. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

| What the hell is with people hating on Frog in this topic? He was an awesome character who kicked total and utter ass through the entirety of Chrono Trigger. How was he ever "emo"? If anybody in that game was emo it was Magus. |

Already been touched on a bit, but yeah, this is a triple boost for
Frog. Neku's supposed to get votes based on his cool anime design and
"oh its the guy from TWEWY", KM is supposed to get votes based off
being a super cute girl robot, and most importantly, no pic = less
attention and less casual votes, which should push us closer to
2004-era low vote totals and make CT's hardcore fanbase have all the
more impact. --- Check out the '08 Guru Site! http://thengamer.com/guru/ Other Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

Oh man, Frog only gained 40 that time, he's ALREADY slowing down. .....this may be really bad for him. --- i am false |

Very bad update for Frog there.....only up 43. --- Character Battle VII --- Score: 32/36 --- T-5 (72 way) Bracket: Ganondorf > Frog --- Vote: Frog |

Yeah, if Frog is already slowing down this much KOS-MOS could easily be stalling or cutting with the match pic by now. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |
| satai_delenn | Posted 9/26/2008 9:16:19 PM | message detail |

Yeah, I would say the match pic does have an effect, especially in a
format like this where widespread recognizability can really affect
results. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |

| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/26/2008 9:16:28 PM | message detail |
| I'm not following here. The only difference a picture would make is Ganondorf increasing his domination. How do higher votals help KOS-MOS? |
| KamikazePotato | Posted 9/26/2008 9:16:57 PM | message detail |

Doubt it's many people, but I dunno. What do you suggest? Put up the match pic as soon as possible, see how it goes. If it's close restart it? I don't know, this kind of thing has never happened before. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

With the picture, the percentages would probably be closer, but Frog's lead in votes would probably be larger. --- Character Battle VII --- Score: 32/36 --- T-5 (72 way) Bracket: Ganondorf > Frog --- Vote: Frog |
