How did Kratos compare to Kirby last year anyways?

Maybe we can use that somewhat to figure out Altair`s and Marth`s trends.

I'd agree with the Kratos comparison insofar as they're both new characters that are big "casual" draws. Altair's not a Sony character, though -- if anything, he's pulling more from the 360 base.

six bullets. more than enough to kill anything that moves.

Whoa there Altair. Don't do too much better than Marth, now.
vcharon | Posted 10/20/2008 9:46:06 PM | message detail
Darn, he loses back the votes he got and then some. Still, just needs to keep it close enough and that'll be good enough I think...

Yeah, I goofed the Sony thing. That residual AC exclusive on PS3 never left me. I'll be talking about Lightning and the PS3 once she's in the contest >_>

That's alright Altair - just limit him to tiny draws and stalls while making the occasional cut. The sun will rise soon...

Looking at the Kratos and Kirby day votes last year... at this point, Kirby was at 24%, and never went above 24%... but kratos was at 27% at 12:45, and went up to 32%

Yeah... that`s definitely gonna hurt. Marth almost had 700 on Duke at one point and the guy ripped it all down and built a 100 of his own before the day showed up.

it's a deep night vote. Duke will get that again here, but it's not as powerful because it's a weekday.

alternatively, Altair will get the opposite come daytime. Duke's in great shape to win this though.

Huh. Altair continues demolishing Marth, but has actually stopped cutting Duke.
That's...about as good as I can hope for, at this point.

Keep it up, I guess!

For as much as a lot of the joke-stuff sucks in this contest, it's got a LOT of great things going for it so far...and we're barely halfway done.

If Duke wins, that may make it even better. Come on, king of the cliche.

The bigger point of interest is the day vote there -- Altair's gonna have some fun with that. Depends on how big a lead Duke has before morning, though. Could see it going either way at this point.

He looked pretty decent from 3-6 last year:

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=2910&type=1&seconds=60&max=0

Not as good as that 1st round bump this year, but I don't think it's a fluke

Duke looks most likely to take first, and Altair looks most likely to take second. All three serious contenders in this match (lol Lucario) are fairly close in strength, i.e. low 20s against BL.
