paraboxx (#078)
I thought bracket votes typically went to the second-place character? Especially when the top character's elite (or in this case supposedly elite).

Now I'm all confused :(



It's probably because everyone thought that Chief would have this easily and that Kirby would be the one needing help.

On another note, this makes Kain and Raiden look like crap.

I guess Dante > Chief isn't gong to happen at all. At least I didn't take Chief to win that match.

My god, Boss is managing to stay competitive by pounding Raiden further and further into the dirt. He'd be killing this poll if it was a 3-way.

Not only did he get a boost, but I'm assuming that many more people understand that he IS Naked Snake now.

If a goddamn sack can...

Yeah, I know its opponent was a notorious day vote chump, but if anyone could, the Chief would be a prime candidate.

He has a chance if Kirby is there. If it's Sephiroth/Chief/Dante/Sonic, then his chances are insanely slim. Look at how well Kirby is doing here, and consider that Sonic is a much stronger character and would be in an equally advantageous position.

Chief isn't the only one with a killer day vote. He and kirby will be pulling in at least 65% between the two of the when the sun rises.

Sandbag beat Sonic handily with the day vote. And he was against Magus.

MGS characters don't have horrendous day votes anymore. MC's day vote isn't as good as last year.

Dang, if only we could have replaced Raiden with some independent third option we'd be talking about the most epic fatal three-way ever in this one. Because sure, BB would be out to a gigantic lead on these two right now, but both MC and Kirby should figure to ruin him once the Day Vote rolls around. And Kirby would still have the lead on Chief, but MC would have that ASV in his backpocket...

Would have been so great.

IIRC, Chief swung 2000 votes against Sub-Zero coming from 4000 down. Sora just swung 1600 votes against Squall from over 4000 down a couple days ago. With MC and Kingdom Hearts, it's possible (it would be possible with pure SSB characters also except that they have such a tremendous power hour).

Chief last round wasn't anything special with the day vote. I'm not too convinced he can swing anything huge in this match. Big Boss barely budged against Kirby last round, and Liquid didn't move at all once the sun came up in both his matches. We'll see how it goes, but I'm not expecting anything crazy in this.

But Sonic's day vote is meh. It's the morning he really kicks ass with.

Hmm, I wonder if Smurf is indicitive of european trends, Sonic is great with the morning, and Mega Man sucks with it. Kind of solidifies my belief that those clowns in Europe wouldn't know taste if it bit them in the ass.

gaining 2% during the day is pretty good day vote I'd say, even if it wasn't up to his standards

Gaining 2% against Raiden, Kain, and Layton isn't anything to write home about - and it's definitely not a 'killer' day vote. He'll do fine in the day, better than he is now, but I'd be surprised if there's anything huge for him after everything we've seen.

This contest would be so much better if Europe cast a lower percentage of total votes.....I think past polls show Europe makes up around 18% of the site, so assuming none of them vote for Crono due to his game not being released there (a very exaggerated assumpion, I know), Crono needs 50/82 = about 61% of non-European votes just to win a match!

and Liquid didn't move at all once the sun came up in both his matches.

Well, Liquid actually did lose a good bit of ground to Roxas with the ASV. He lost about 1.5% there. Not typical MGS standards, but he still lost ground.

As we saw from Sora though, his day vote in round 1 wasn't amazing, then came up big in round 2. Could be same for Chief
