True enough I didn't factor that in. That gives Snake less dominance,
maybe hurt Vivi a little and god knows what with the cube. It could be
the ticket MM needs to get through, it's a let off if he does. --- Smurf. The cream of Sonic Fanboyism you're like some devious internet fiend- Majin |

We'll see about Zero's ASV- he's not Megaman- all of his past matches
have shown him to be quite good at the ASV. With regards to the Link
match last year, while it's true that easier for percentage to
fluctuate at low percentages, keep in mind improving the same amount at
12% as at 45% is nearly 4 times as big a move proportionally. Zero also
won whole hours against Crono in round 2 while being 5000+ votes down.
Sure, Crono has an awful ASV, but winning hours while being down 5000
votes, especially in a 4-way, is never easy. And since people insist on
comparing Zero's ASV to Megaman's, look at this: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=1768&type=2&seconds=60&max=0 Zero is below 41% before the ASV, yet manages to win many updates during it. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |
| __Smurf__ | Posted 10/29/2008 10:06:16 AM | message detail |
|
Those last two rounds for L-Block were obvious rallying, but the first
4 were alarmingly consistent and thats what's relevant for Cube's
effort. Even look at Block's votals this year. Within 5k of each other
while adding Crono to the mix. I never said he was perfectly static but
in relative terms to other characters the joke items have a very
consistent level that doesn't alter much from other character's
strengths. --- Smurf. The cream of Sonic Fanboyism you're like some devious internet fiend- Majin |

I still say even at best Zero's average with the ASV. And given that so
is Vivi it's not going to swing wildly enough in his direction either
way for it to make a difference. --- Smurf. The cream of Sonic Fanboyism you're like some devious internet fiend- Majin |

Yes, he does. The two have gone even the last 35 minutes, which leads
me to believe that Vivi won't do much with the remaining 90 before the
ASV. Whomever the ASV favors more (even if it's a tiny shift) will
probably win. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Still with the ASV the way it is itll b snake and Ryu dominance, not
enough to put ryu into the mach but enough to effectively stall vivi v.
Zero IMHO until ater the ASV. The SNV is where this one will be decided. |

this matchup will be taking place in the sprite round, a round where
as we saw last year, Mega Man is able to perform nearly at the Samus'
level. N, no, don't fall into the BT-trap! Don't forget Yoshi was in the poll too, and when you compare that to Mega/Samus in R4 and any other matches Mega's used his sprite, you don't have to guess twice on whether it was Mega's sprite or Yoshi's presence that made Samus look so bad. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Yeah, you guys got it right: wherever the ASV goes gets this between Vivi and Zero. Snake has dominated. Expect his percentage to go up, as well as his lead. Ryu has sucked all day. Expect him to not suck "as" much, but by no means make cuts in the votals. Vivi looks like Black Mage. That has to help him with ASV. Zero is cool-lookin'. So... ASV goes to Snake and Vivi, regrettably. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=46004288 (Top 50 Pokemon Game Tracks...Evar) |

Ryu may make a couple cuts on Zero and Vivi during ASV just due to how
dominant he was in asv yesterday.. not enough to make a difference but
enough to get over 14% and maybe almost to 15% --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

2002: Mega Man nearly beat Sephiroth in the sprite round (the best argument you can make, but it's 2002) 2003: Mega Man doubled Vercetti (who didn't look any better or worse in 2004) 2004: Mega Man let Zero get closer to him than Solid Snake 2005: Mega Man barely edged out Sonic (who was the bottom NN'er at the time) 2006: Mega Man let Sora get ~46% 2007: Mega Man couldn't beat Samus despite Yoshi in the poll Shut up about past facts. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

So...this is going to sound bizarre, but I'll ask: 1) What would it mean for Solid Snake to be able to beat Mega Man and Zero combined next round? 2) Is there ANY chance of that happening, assuming Zero beats Vivi? --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

It would mean the Cube is a beast. Why is this? Because fourways are difficult to predict, but boring in execution. Of course, I blame a lot of this on the fact that running a gimmick twice makes it boring the second time, and bad bracket placement has a lot to do with it, too. Either way, this could be an exciting match! Snake getting the magic number, Vivi advancing, BT closing his account!

Yesterday's chart: Time | Cube | Tidus | Mega Man | Nero EBV | 28.98% | 21.71% | 37.88% | 11.43% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 30.46% | 21.44% | 38.03% | 10.06% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 29.02% | 23.28% | 36.40% | 11.31% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 28.74% | 24.28% | 34.92% | 12.06% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 26.84% | 23.40% | 37.58% | 12.18% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 29.17% | 22.00% | 35.85% | 12.97% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 28.00% | 22.43% | 37.17% | 12.41% | (22:00-24:00) Great Power Hour and night vote for Mega Man and Cube. Mega Man dropped off during the morning, rose up big during the DSV, and dropped right back down with the ASV. Cube kept dropping until we hit the ASV, where it suddenly became a beast. Tidus does his best work in the morning, for some reason. Nero had a horrible Power Hour, and a relatively good ASV. Yesterday's stats: Mega Man – 50.00% Weighted Companion Cube – 43.95% Tidus – 38.40% Nero – 24.92% Division 5, Top Half Mega Man – 50.00% Weighted Companion Cube – 43.95% Tidus – 38.40% Donkey Kong – 30.75% Nero – 24.92% Miles “Tails” Prower – 24.38% Banjo – 16.07% Captain Olimar – 14.31% There's Mega Man...then there's the Cube...then there's Tidus...then there's DK...then there's Nero and Tails...then there's Banjo and Olimar. Pretty big gaps in the strengths here. Interesting to see that Nero still scores above Tails. Not sure if that's good for Nero or just pathetic for Tails.

Every so often, Vivi manages to make a big enough cut to offset some of
Zero's work. Vivi's peak lead was only 412, achieved 40 minutes ago.
Zero's only cut 23 votes there. Looks like they might just go back and
forth for a while. Zero might pull a ReSTALLver Lossalot here! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Actually Hayabusa was more dominate during this time(before school
vote) than the after school vote last round. Zero actually improved on
him during the ASV(obviously not enough to do anything, he went from
losing updates by 3% to losing updates by 2%) --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

And Vivi's back to his peak lead of 412! Looks like Snake's going to hold on to 43% here, too! For the record, the ASV was Vivi's worst time last round and Snake's best along with the second night vote (even better than his first night vote!). Zero did about the same with the before school, during school, and after school vote. Hayabusa was about 1.5% better with the DSV than the ASV. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |
