Hey now.

Ike, pre-Brawl, shaved 1300 off of someone who was rather good with the day vote(in fact it may have been his best time during that match) he could cut 2000 off of Arthas in these conditions if he got lucky.

Also, suspicious Arthas pattern(tm) continues.

Ike would have to win every update of the ASV by around 80 votes to beat Arthas. It isn't happening.

Arthas' patterns are slightly suspicious because he's likely being rallied for almost the entire match. It's just part of his strength.

_Hogger_ | Posted 10/3/2008 11:04:27 AM | message detail
Do you call 2 straight 18 vote gains by Arthas during the afternoon as stalling? And I think you are seriously forgetting the rat, who showed in the morning, he was at 35% during kiddy vote, and Ike didn't go up at all from the night since it was obvious the kiddy vote went to Pikachu.

So Ike isn't getting the ASV as long as Pikachu is there.

Not to mention that Ike needs to cut slightly over 60 votes every 15 minutes from here on out despite only winning a total of six 15 minute updates all match. I'd be absolutely thrilled if he could do it, and both he and the rat should have a better ASV than morning vote, but it's looking extremely unlikely, to put it mildly.

This isn't Master Chief, a KH character or Sonic, this is Ike, a Fire Emblem character who's only trump card will be mostly raped by Pikachu. There's no chance he's going to demolish the day vote and rake 2500+ on someone who isn't terrible with it anyway.

The record in 1 v 1 is what? 3000 with the Day vote king Sonic against the day vote chump Crono. Neither of these two are anywhere near that level and it would require a similiar level turnaround in a format that's twice as hard to pull off.

Game Over. No way will Ike come anywhere close. If he pulls Arthas under 2000 Greil would be proud.

Ike's finally doing something here, but it's way too late. and if it's close he'll just get rallied against.

I'm more thinking about Arthas/Alucard/Pikachu/Falcon... that's really a mess.

I do want to clear up one misconception here, though: setting aside any considerations of S/LFF, the rat doesn't hurt Ike's ASV. It's true that if the rat were replaced by a night character Ike might be able to grab a higher percentage during the day vote, but then Arthas would be pushed down less because whatever replaces Pikachu isn't going to hurt his percentage. So it balances out in the end.

I assume ASV is similiar to 6-9AM vote, right? If so, Pikachu was getting 35% updates and Ike had same updates he had all night.

also of note - last year arthas didn't even really drop with the morning vote compared to at night, but he did drop in the asv. i expect ike to make steady gains but not near the level of a successful comeback.
