WHOO DANTE!

51 PERCENT!

I love how most of this topic is just rooting for Dante to get absurd percentage.

Good taste prevails for once in this topic, you guys are awesome.

It's not like we have a whole lot else to root for here, except that whoever we picked for second place sucks the least.

I just looked, and I don't think FFT has ever been released in Europe, except for the PSP remake. That might spell trouble in the Late Night from 4-6 AM, but I actually think that Ramza is in a good position right now if he can stop these cuts and keep slowly inching up. At these low percentages, a lead of 250 will end up being equilavent to a 500 vote lead or so if the match was one on one. That should be enough to hold off until the day, if the day favors Ramza that is.

Yesmar, please keep a log of the Bloody Close British Men (my name for them!) and share them for eternity. Keep 'em coming!


As for this match: I have almost literally no reason to care about today. Bracket's dead and I don't even feel compelled to play any of these characters' games. I only care if Ramza makes it or not, and that's because of the next round.

nintendogirl1 | Posted 10/14/2008 10:57:42 PM | message detail
I honestly don't think we're going to see any real trends for the three at all today, in relation to each other.

The only thing worth watching from that regard is Dante just keeps rising. Wahey another 50% update.

transience | Posted 10/14/2008 10:58:46 PM | message detail
Alucard/Kirby was a match worth discussing, but as everyone found out seconds after the match began, Ramza had no upset potential whatsoever in this match and this fourpack was a two horse race from the beginning. But with this said, even though Ramza couldn't actually pull off the upset of Kirby he still had a fairly decent showing. Even as a 14 seed and with only 20% of brackets on his side, Ramza began the match with over 40% of the votes and did not go under later on like most cultish characters tend to do in these things.

hrm.

Watching Dante continually rise in percentage is plenty good enough for me. Though Hogger advancing would be pretty cool, since it'd give Riku a better shot next round.

..."Hogger advancing would be pretty cool" I can't believe I just said that.

looks like Laharl is the epitome of a night vote character. if Hogger is indeed "dead", Ramza should have this - he can't have a worse day vote than Laharl.

Looks like I missed Laharl passing Hogger again.

Well, if Albion admits that Hogger is gone, he's probably gone. Ah well, at least things could still be interesting depending on what Laharl does.

Laharl's percentage at 3am last year: 17.79%
Laharl's percentage at midnight last year: 16.95%

and that was with L-Block dropping a full 5% over the last 21 hours of the match.

Well, that entire hour was a dead stall between Laharl and Ramza. And the hour before that was Ramza only gaining 50. If it weren't for bracket votes, we could've had something like Ada / Ammy here.

I feel so bad that I bracket voted for you when Laharl is much cooler. Go Laharl ^_^

Whoa, Laharl is clearly putting some effort forth here. I believe that Laharl does have a shot to upset Ramza, giving me 4 points for correctly calling this one.

The fact that Ramza can't even do too well in the night might indicate Frog or Crono trends. Add that to Laharl's day vote, and the fact that even Arthas did much better at night than in the day... Dante really could come out of this looking like Cloud.

Ramza's hardly Frog -- you can't compare him to such a unique trend without having something to back it up. honestly, I can't see Ramza losing the day vote to Laharl..I feel like Hogger's got just as good of a shot as Laharl does.

I'm not saying it's a given, just saying that's what it looks like. Although looking a bit more, it seems to just be a Dante trend; same thing happened to Balthier, and he still won the night vote in his first match this year.

I just figured that we shouldn't be to surpised about Dante doing this good. When Laharl is looking like he could advance then the fourpack is really weak, and Dante has always dominated in his first match.

OMG Hogger cut.

hmmm yeah I thought Laharl and Ramza would hurt each other enough to bring Hogger into proceedings. Perhaps not enough.

In the last Half hour

Dante - 818

Laharl- 266
Ramza - 256
Hogger- 244

It's really close atm. The next few hours are going to hurt Ramza as the Europeans have their say but I have to wonder who other than Dante is going to take the day vote here? none of them are mainstream.
