I'd say rally Hogger until he catches up and stop and then see where this heads.

Ooh, nice update for Laharl there to combat Hogger. Seems he's being rallied too!

Lets see if Disgaea or Blizzard has bigger rallying powers, shall we...

I should normally be sleeping right now, but this match is so exciting that I'll stay up and watch it. This isn't anything like Alucard/Liquid, where just the 2 of them stayed very close to each other for a long period of time. We have a match where 3 characters are all very close together.

why is it Rallying only ever seems to be worth a damn for Blizzard characters and FROG? >_>
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/15/2008 7:57:10 AM | message detail
Because Blizzard has several very popular sites to draw form and Frog cheats.

Well I don't know about Frog, but Blizzard has a HUGE userbase concentrated in one area, that generally would vote for their characters if asked to.

First 11 hours:

2:00 | 47.47% | 17.15% | 17.28% | 18.10%
3:00 | 49.23% | 14.67% | 18.24% | 17.86%
4:00 | 51.00% | 13.58% | 18.42% | 17.00%
5:00 | 50.31% | 16.21% | 17.17% | 16.31%
6:00 | 51.30% | 16.42% | 17.01% | 15.27%
7:00 | 51.82% | 15.69% | 18.14% | 14.35%
8:00 | 53.46% | 14.27% | 16.29% | 15.97%
9:00 | 49.02% | 19.11% | 15.99% | 15.88%

11:00 | 48.20% | 20.82% | 14.83% | 16.15%

After Hogger's berserk 9th hour, he drops off next hour only to come back even stronger in the 11th hour. Laharl also drops off quite a bit in the 11th hour.

If Ramza is following in Kirby's footsteps (losing right before I make it on the leaderboard), someone is going to get a shot to the nuts. By a 2X4.

If Hogger takes a 100 vote lead here given that Laharl likely wins the day vote it leaves this match perfectly poised.

this is ridiculous

Hogger by himself has completely changed the patterns of the match.Dante's getting the same amount of votes he was ,which were enough to make him keep rising,but now he's dropping horribly.

Smurf FAQs | Posted 10/15/2008 8:13:56 AM | message detail
Votals are low during this timeframe so rallying is more pronounced. During the ASV the impact of whatever minor rallying is going on will be a lot less pronounced, it doesn't inflate like regular voters will.

Because he won the morning vote, which has a strong correlation with the ASV.

Laharl just isn't letting Ramza build anything, if Hogger implodes I'd fancy Laharl to win that battle.

Not that it matters, because Hogger has this match locked up at this rate. Surprised people are still worrying about Laharl vs. Ramza when that thing is destroying them both.

There's not going to be a "good struggle" with the ASV. If we haven't beaten it over your heads enough yet, there's been negligible trend shifts with the time of day this year.

When the ASV draws near, the rallying won't be nearly as effective, allowing Laharl and Ramza to make a comeback on Hogger.

I will say that this is like GTA/WC in that sure, rallying might make the difference... but GTA and Ramza have no business not blowing out the WC entity to begin with. This is just WC taking advantage of a massive flop again.
