Lost in all of this mess is that Ganon is putting up a nice 45% on this fourpack. Yes, and actually, I think the biggest singular piece of evidence that this is really hurting KOS is the fact that Ganon is kicking this much ass. Nintendo has been generally dormant so far (even Samus dropped the ball a bit yesterday imo), and Ganondorf is the one who puts up their first superstar performance? Ganondorf? --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

KOS-MOS even having a chance in this match was a complete fabrication of the stats topic. Question, what is Frog looking like if you assume constant Ganondorf |

Okay, actually I take that back. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=2864&type=2&seconds=400 The early vote isn't her best time, BUT, she's supposed to be peaking in a few hours here and making up ground during the dead of night slash Euro morning vote. As we've seen many times now, CT always starts to crash and burn once the Europeans wake up, since the game was never released over there. But with no pic, and as time goes on it seems less likely we'll get one until SB wakes up in 8 hours or so, that's going to put a huge dent in her comeback potential. --- Check out the '08 Guru Site! http://thengamer.com/guru/ Other Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

How about a constant KOS? Where are Frog and Ganondorf looking to be at? --- http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l53/xKyuzo/Frog20-20Laugh20Front.gif http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

I would think the loss of casuals would affect the strongest character in the 4 pack, and that obviously would be Ganon. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

I really don't see how people can be saying that KOS-MOS is being hurt
by no picture, then go and say that it's helping Frog. A guy with only
the name Frog. It's really a no brainer. Some people won't put together
"Oh, that frog from Chrono Trigger!" while others won't put together
"Oh, KOS-MOS has massive boobs!" --- Brawl FC: 5370-0213-5065 - Wii Name: T-Pal Mario Kart FC: 4854-6839-7676 |

| Don't use a constant KOS-MOS. She's dropped a great deal since 2005/2006, and her results last year can be thrown out due to the SFF in the second round overrating here a good deal. |

I just explained why. We're losing the casual vote. The casual vote is the one voting for oh my gawd BOOBS in the first place, for the most part, I'd like to think.

together "Oh, that frog from Chrono Trigger!" while others won't put

The fanatics that don't care about a pic being up are probably more significantly Frog. You seem to be making the assumption that Frog's votes are votes he'd get anyway. But this is wrong. He proportion of "votes he'd get anyway" relative to other characters is almost certainly higher. However the night has always been Frog's best time. And he's losing votes here, no question. And we have no clue how much of a factor the "votes he'd get anyway" proportion is - that's just pure speculation. If you don't think KOS-MOS is losing more votes than Frog from the lack of pic, even excepting the fact that she's a hot android chick, I'm either thinking you're full of bias or blind. I really don't want to offend, and I regret if this does so, but statements like this make me wonder if it's worth talking to you. To say that we *definitively* know that KOS-MOS's vote gap (not % gap) would be lower if there was a picture is just unfathomable in terms of logic. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

To say that we *definitively* know that KOS-MOS's vote gap (not %
gap) would be lower if there was a picture is just unfathomable in
terms of logic. We don't, but considering the kind of fanbases you're comparing here: One: Driven by a great pic Two: Votes in droves with the early vote and cheats/rallies to see their guy win. It's kinda hard to think Frog isn't helped by this.
