as sucky as Pikachu might be it's still thousands of times better than a block. What if you hate Pikachu and don't care about a block. Most people don't feel one way or another about blocks I think --- Yoblazer: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

i don't hate block,but i hate the fact that it is an illegal entry in the contest and thus shouldn't be there in the first place it's like having Goku or George W Bush in there. |

I've modified a spreadsheet that King Morgoth gave me a very long time
ago, so that people can use it to generate x-stats for multi-way
matches using his theory. The theory is linked to from the
gamefaqscontests.com home page's introduction entry. Here's the spreadsheet: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/excel/Morgoth's%20X-Stats.xls The x-stats are based on the strongest character in the match (whose value should always go in the top cell, cell D13) having a strength of 50%. For instance, for Link's last match, Morgoth's formula gives the following x-stat values: Link - 50.00% Zack - 28.35% Duke - 19.76% Altair - 16.66% --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Hmmm. Gordon's probably doomed to last place after the day, but if he
holds on, Ganondorf will have, despite his strengths, proven himself to
be 'weaker' than three of the biggest jokes in contest history. (Magus being the third. >_>) go gordon go --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

Mario doesn't really fall off that much with the night vote, but Luigi does. Liquid is the only one to really gain with it. Luigi is a morning vote and ASV guy. Mario did his best work in the morning and slowly fell off from there, kinda unusual for him. X was the opposite, hitting his lowest point in the morning and going up the rest of the day. The only segment he took from Mario this time was the second night vote. Liquid managed to stay fairly consistent all throughout. Yesterday's stats: Mario – 50.00% Mega Man X – 47.35% Liquid Snake – 40.11% Luigi – 32.71% Division 2 Stats Mario – 50.00% Mega Man X – 47.35% Bowser – 43.77% Luigi – 43.74% Liquid Snake – 40.11% Princess Zelda – 39.29% Mudkip – 37.82% Knuckles the Echidna – 34.05% Phoenix Wright – 30.32% Roxas – 28.44% Fei Fong Wong – 25.78% Lloyd Irving – 25.71% Geno – 23.47% Deckard Cain – 21.25% Tom Nook – 15.42% Sho Miniamimoto – 14.84% Yeah, you're basically going to have to take these stats with a grain of salt with all of the SFF here. The entire upper half is gonna be way too high with how well Liquid did capitalizing on a bunch of SFF. There's just no other way to adjust him, Luigi, or Bowser. I'll take Liquid > Zelda though! Fei > Lloyd is interesting, too. Phoenix Wright at 30% on Mario is another goodie! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

And now everyone's favorite: Raw stats! Division 1 Raw Stats Link – 50.00% Zack Fair – 30.01% Zidane Tribal – 22.56% Duke Nukem – 21.91% Shadow the Hedgehog – 20.30% Altair – 18.82% Marth – 18.71% Wario – 16.58% Niko Bellic – 16.25% Cecil Harvey – 16.09% Kefka – 15.78% Lucario – 14.44% Isaac – 13.87% Luke fon Fabre – 9.16% Guybrush Threepwood – 9.11% Jade Curtiss – 7.03% Zidane for 3rd best in the division? I can dig it! Cecil > Kefka? I can dig that, too! LFF'd Marth only ends up slightly worse than round 3 Altair. If Altair had faced someone who could've taken away his casual support in round 2, Marth might have advanced in spite of Lucario. Division 2 Raw Stats Mario – 50.00% Mega Man X – 47.35% Liquid Snake – 40.11% Princess Zelda – 39.29% Mudkip – 37.82% Knuckles the Echidna – 34.05% Luigi – 32.71% Bowser – 29.21% Phoenix Wright – 26.14% Fei Fong Wong – 25.78% Lloyd Irving – 25.71% Roxas – 21.27% Geno – 15.66% Tom Nook – 15.42% Deckard Cain – 14.18% Sho Minamimoto – 11.10% Liquid for 3rd best in the division? I can dig that! Knuckles > Bowser? I can dig that, too! Double-SFF'd Bowser makes Geno and Deckard look really bad. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Good night vote from Vincent there. As long as he stays steady he
should be in good shape to beat Crono next round. Not seeing how he
upends the block, but it could happen. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Nah, Ganondorf didn't really do anything with the morning vote. I don't expect him to make a big run at it. Well, Gordon Freeman's worst time is the ASV, so who knows? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

The fact that Zelda did so well against Mario twice despite it now
becoming clear that SFF is likely to increase along with the quality of
the competition is very, very impressive. In the theoretical
Zelda/Ganondorf match, I'd now expect an easy Zelda win (55%+, hell,
upwards of 60%) before I'd expect a Ganon win at all. --- Yoblazer: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I've never taken on a side on the Zelda/Ganon 1v1 match-up before, but
I don't think anyone could convince me that Zelda > Ganon isn't a
lock at this point. Ganon is probably still stronger indirectly, but
yeah, Zelda's taking that match. --- mmm test icicles |

Gordon's lead just hit 1303. Does he fall off during the ASV like a CT
character? Only way i could see Ganon coming back at this point. --- Proud member of the A1 Steak Sauce Guild |

From: Chaotic Mind | #095 He doesn't fall that badly. Obviously night is his best time but 1300 SHOULD be enough with the lower votals for 3rd/4th place --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

So how well does Pikachu do tomorrow? I'm not holding my breath for a
crazy upset or anything (much to the dismay of yo I'm sure), but so far
this year he's been hindered in every match and he's still looked
decent. --- CB7 Score: 220/288 http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z114/Javer8000/FanimeCon2008/Sandbag.jpg |

Tomorrow is one of the few matches I wish would have still been
sprites. Crono-sprite, Alucard-sprite, Pikachu-sprite,
L-Block-sprite...and if Pika over-performed last year because of the
sprite, that would have been our best chance at L-Block being removed. Alas! --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I understand the anti-block sentiment in this topic, but removing L-Block with Pikachu is not too unlike removing a wart with a shotgun. --- Yoblazer: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
