| That's the same pattern with Samus and Vincent's previous match. She'll recover once morning hits. Don't know if the same will happen with Crono though. |

| Vincent isn't Nintendo. Crono's best hope now is
to limit Vincent's gains from now until 8 AM, at which point he may
still have a small lead. Then he needs to gain with the DSV, and try to
hold of Vincent as best he can with the ASV. If this is within a few
hundred in the final hour don't put it past him, as unclutch as he has
always been. And now the Masamune! Forthwith I shall slay Vincent, and restore honor! --- Crono's quest to beat Link: This it it! Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

linkhatesganon (#101) Not yet, but if I am wrong (looking very likely) I will of course make a topic admitting such.

Crono's doing fine. Looking at his percentage, his percentage had
dropped over double what it has now, and he's working from a higher
percentage this time, meaning you'd expect him to have the higher
percentage drop now. He's definitely not looking at an utter collapse at 4am like last year. --- Kirby's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 4 - Seph/Sonic/Dante. Target: 48% GAME FUEL, Nekkid Cartwheels, Snake Proxy, all powers belong to Kirby. |

I am actually getting a bit of confidence in Crono, but my logic is probably flawed. As of 4am last year, Crono was seeing greater drops in his % compared to this year and he had less total % last year. It just feels like Vincent is being more affected by Samus' gains and drops, but Crono isn't so much, unlike last year. So when Samus starts doing well during the day, I somewhat expect Crono to be able to at least have a fighting chance. Once again, I'm probably not making sense, so feel free to correct me. --- I'm DS, with more functionality than ever ... ... RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE |

So I guess Pikachu continues his heroics by taking all the percentage hits for Crono. What a little trooper. --- Kirby's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 4 - Seph/Sonic/Dante. Target: 48% GAME FUEL, Nekkid Cartwheels, Snake Proxy, all powers belong to Kirby. |

It's not the percentage what matters, but the votes Yeah, but what I'm saying is that Samus is being hurt a lot in this time too which allows for Crono to not be hurt so bad. Crono isn't really collapsing, Vincent is just doing really well. I want to see what it's like when he calms down. --- I'm DS, with more functionality than ever ... ... RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE |

It's not the percentage what matters, but the votes That's what the people who think they know something about contests always say to newbies to make themselves feel mighty... but when gauging trends and predicting the course of the match, percentages are what you need to look at, not votes. --- Kirby's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 4 - Seph/Sonic/Dante.

I also think Crono is holding up really good, since this seems to be Vincent's best time at least against Samus. But see my sig. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

Ya, crono seems to have that going for him..Samus and Pikachu are
collapsing right now; Link didn't collapse at all. Still, this might
turn out to be bad for crono if pikachu gets a good boost.. we know
samus will skyrocket eventually. --- Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII! He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII. |

But it's the typical of gaining percentage =/= gaining votes. You can
be gaining a lot of percentage and having a minor effect in number of
votes --- Please, don't insult me - Vlado about British blood SSBB FC code - 3007-9626-4713 |

But it's the typical of gaining percentage =/= gaining votes. You
can be gaining a lot of percentage and having a minor effect in number
of votes Yes, Crono is losing votes, you can read the "lead 2" column in the updater good job. What you need to realize is that it's almost all Vincent this time instead of half and half. That means when Vincent snaps back to his less beastly time he's likely going to go back to losing updates to Crono, even if it was by less than he was losing them to start the match. --- Kirby's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 4 - Seph/Sonic/Dante.

I wasn't talking about this match. All I meant was that you can get a
crazy ammount of percentage (well maybe not crazy), and gaining "only"
something like 50 votes --- Please, don't insult me - Vlado about British blood SSBB FC code - 3007-9626-4713 |

And here, since you're set on number of votes: Crono lost ~130 votes 4am-5am this year Last year he lost ~190.

Not bad Crono! Last year, the guy lost 0.4% to Vincent, while this
time, he's only dipped 0.2% despite the higher percentages that they
have. Of course, he still lost a 100 votes here that last hour, and since he has a smaller lead this time, that can't be too good. --- http://www.court-records.net/manga/4koma/(eng)4koma2.png |

Holding up "a bit better" won't remotely save him though. He lost by
1702 votes last time. He could do an entire percentage point better
relative to Vincent than last time and still lose. --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/24, Marcello defeated (12 attempts) Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

Good enough evidence that he's holding up a bit better? Not exactly. Vincent actually cut the lead by 15% ish compared to 14% ish last year (i think). I'm just hoping Crono does better in parts he did worse with last year. --- I'm DS, with more functionality than ever ... ... RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE |
