Dang, if only Snake could have held off Cloud a little longer, this would have been the best 20 minutes ever.

Character Battle 2008: Points 311/448 Today's Match: Cloud > Solid Snake
red sox 777 | Posted 11/14/2008 9:07:40 PM | message detail
We're about 100 votes ahead of yesterday's poll. Cloud should rise a lot, although it'll be interesting to see if the exciting end to the last match helped his early vote or not. I'm guessing not much because Crono probably overlaps with Snake almost as much, and Vincent fans didn't seem to doing much that hour.

On the plus side (for me) Crono is more likely than Vincent to not come in second against Link/Mario/Samus, so my Cloud>Link final at least is in decent shape.

Both of those prediction percentages make me confused.

Crono seems fine, he always underestimated, but Samus seems low. The only competition for brackets were Crono, Vincent and L-Block.

If Snake stays this close to Cloud percentage-wise all day, I wouldn't be surprised to see him beat both Seph AND Cloud next round.

With WCC out of the picture, looks like the only exciting thing left (that we can realistically foresee) is Snake's performance against Cloud and Sephiroth.

Oh the pain. I didn't just fall off the list, I tumbled to my death off the Leaderboard, never to return.

L-Block hit me with a double-whammy, and no L, means no return to the top 50. Was a nice run though, lasted the better part of the past 3 weeks. Can't complain.

Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE!
red sox 777 | Posted 11/14/2008 9:15:09 PM | message detail
Alright, argument for there not being evidence of stuffing:

Crono got 1191 votes in the last hour and 1017 votes the second to last hour. Vincent got 929 votes the last hour and 999 votes the second to last hour. Samus got 1058 votes in the last hour and 1179 votes in the second to last hour.

Crono has a much better second night vote than Samus, so it makes sense that he would drop off far less than she would- indeed Magus gained 100 votes in the last hour against Sandbag. Suppose Crono would normally drop off, say, 50 votes compared to 120 for Samus, and Crono only needed to rally 220 votes. That's definitely not such a high number that stuffing needs to be involved. The 62 vote update doesn't show anything either- we've seen multiple shifts from update to update just in yesterday's match that are greater than the shift to and from that update.

Absolutely nothing that cannot be explained with trends and some rallying.

Nice update, Go Snake Go.

He won't win, but if Snake can get within 6% against Cloud at the end, he may win against Cloud/Sephiroth.

transience | Posted 11/14/2008 9:16:30 PM | message detail
Cloud/Snake next round looks like a tossup to me. might even give the edge to Snake.

wonder if Crono hurts Cloud to any significant degree. he probably hurts him more than Vincent since Vincent would just get crushed by Cloud - Crono can steal some votes away from him.

if this is true, we could see Link > Snake.

Heh, Crono came back and won a close match. Would you look at that. And Pika's performance means that had Ryu beaten out Block, he probably would have advanced as far as I had him going. Darn you Pikachu!

Anyways, was anything of note said in the last 4 topics, because I have a feeling it is all either "Bawww, a character I don't like is stuffing so I shall whine" or "Crono spike n_n"?

Lastly, lol Snake > cloud
