One more interesting clump:

Princess Zelda – 27.49%
Meta Knight – 26.46%
Mudkip – 26.46%
Wario – 26.34%
Ike – 25.61%
Captain Falcon – 25.03%
Marth – 23.14%


Falco Lombardi should be in here somewhere too, but he was left out of the adjusted stats. Weird to see these guys clumped together at this level.

FYI, anybody remember the petition I made last May about trying to get a Contest Suggestions board? Yeah...if you haven't shown your support for such a board yet, you may want to go to Site Suggestions now. The topic's not going to last much longer...

...I think it's been a pretty successful petition though: back when CJay added more boards last year, this was the second fastest growing petition at the time (only behind removing ads from the middle of the pages). I also don't think most first topics for new boards get as much support as this one did (158 signs, make sure you're one of them!).

RPGuy96 | Posted 11/18/2008 11:03:17 AM | message detail
Snake's looking pretty good - he should end up in the 700s before the ASV hits, which is quite a bit more than the cushion Crono had against Vincent. And you can probably rely on Snake to get some Crono-style "help" if it's tight as the match wanes - that's how he pulled it off against Sephy in the Battle Royale and arguably how Liquid beat Alucard last year.

adjusting Crono's stats based on tomorrow will be totally unfair

Crono will be being affected by the two biggest powerhouses on the contest. he's in a SFF situation just as bad as samus was,if not worse
red sox 777 | Posted 11/18/2008 11:32:33 AM | message detail
I think Crono's going to hold up surprisingly well tomorrow- he can hold his own with the shared fanbase against anyone probably (probably because we haven't seen him against Cloud yet), since that's the only way he is as strong as he is given the small size of his fanbase. Snake is going to be the one who is ravaged when Link SFFs away a great deal of his Brawl support. Both of them will probably end up underrated somewhat due to people realizing Link vs. Cloud decides the contest winner.

Oh, for the record, Falco is at 21.44% (Between Altair and Crash) in the adjusted stats, and Alucard is at 28.46% in the raw stats (between Gordon and Meta Knight), for the curious. If I left anyone else out, let me know.

And Snake's got the 700 vote lead. Let's see what he does.

Both of them will probably end up underrated somewhat due to people realizing Link vs. Cloud decides the contest winner.

I disagree. Crono overlaps with both Link (design, console) and Cloud (design, genre). All three are cool swordsmen, and it seems to me that Crono will be the one left in the cold. Snake's the guy who stands out most, and even though Link is probably the one guy who can steal ALL his newfound Nintendo support, he's still bringing his own fanbase into the mix. Of course, the whole thing could very well turn into "Link vs. Cloud vs. Two Distractions," so both our guys will end up just fighting for meager scraps.

Crono is easily the weakest of the four, so he'll end up looking pretty bad. Snake's fighting tooth and nail against Cloud because he's being LFF'd by Sephiroth. Crono couldn't even get 40% on Link while he was fighting off two other Nintendo characters.

Only problem was all the Nintendo dominance. Bah, only Tifa and Sephiroth prevented Nintendo from sweeping Square that year.
