Please don't let a softcore porn character stop Pac-Man from missing a complete Character Contest. Some people do legitimately like him, you know.

I would wager that more people legitimately like Archer than Pac-man, and that's including how many people have played their respective games.

Wow.

Archer nearly in the top half, getting 6% on this mob. Never thought I'd see the day. I wonder if he's really as terrible of fodder as he looks?

No problem!

Pac-man will always have future contests. Archer needed to fight all the way to even get here.

Woo late night post

At this point, I'm convinced that we're going to see a lot of these sets. Archer only received 22 nominations on Board 8 and not a lot elsewhere. Alex Mercer wasn't on the ballot. Olimar...is Olimar. On the other hand, we're also seeing guys like Raiden in these polls. That has to mean that the range allowed for these is huge...we could see 10 of these polls in the end.

I really hope you're right. I think these polls are a really great idea, so I'm hoping there are quite a few.

Am I the only one who's really impressed with Big Daddy's performance? I know his day vote will most likely be mediocre, but I'm still shocked he's beating Midna and Pac-Man.

I played a fair bit of F/S N and as much as I love Archer, I honestly expected him to get about 4% on this poll, is the anime community a little bit stronger than we thought?

Archer is the kind of guy that would thrive in a 12-way. cut out the bottom 8 options and I doubt he does more than 10%. this is a very nice way for him to show off. it's just like if we had Phoenix in one of these polls, only magnified since the fanbase is much louder thanks to being ten times more niche.

Man, when I saw this poll I just HAD to vote for Archer. I spent a slot nomming him, no way am I going to let him down now.

Incidentally, this probably meand we're going to see several of our top rallies lumped together tomorrow or the day after. Hmm...who to vote for...

Heh, I had to vote for Frog because this ain't a real contest without Frog! Rikku's probably going to win in the end though, if the CT day vote holds up. I just wish Bacon would give us some idea of how many characters per poll make the contest.

And seeing Diddy doing so horribly makes me sad. He's one of my favorites!

That goes without saying.

And I wonder if we'll see any other NRT people. I hope we'll see an FFVIII character in one of these because I doubt anyone other than Squall would make it in without being on the border.

Well this makes me feel good about Yuna's chance of getting straight into the contest, and Jecht's of at least making these 12-way things. They're are a great idea IMO, but it really sucks that we don't know who's going through from them - is it just the winner? The top four? The top six?

Well, it's 9 AM, and Frog still has a 200-something lead, which should make him the favorite.

Frog's max lead on Rikku was 371 at 3:06 AM. By the looks of it, Frog has gained a little bit since his lowest lead after the start of the morning vote (which was 218 at 8:53 AM).

Can't seem to figure out what Frog is doing right now.

I really wish we could have seen Big Daddy without Andrew Ryan in here now...he's doing quite well for himself here. Good job, ya weird recurring enemy...now let's see a Goomba in a poll.

Also, I'm with Leonhart, let's see an FF8-character or two soon other than Squall. Surely at least one is on the edge, right...?

I would, but when you realize that...

A) It's a Poll of the Day, not a match with a pic and such, so more well-known characters all underperform
B) "well" means 2000 votes out of 36k

it looks a lot more impressive.

yeah, if Pac-Man's here... WHO'S NEXT?!

seriously. Poor guy.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Marth and/or Ike show up in one of these things... Falco and like... Lucario or some other lower-tier Pokemon too. And Fawful.

I predict Fawful, Ike, and Jecht tomorrow, among others.

LeonhartFour | Posted 12/9/2009 9:03:29 AM | message detail
Pac-Man's been a low seed nearly every year he's been in the contest except for the first year, where there were no formal nominations. This is not surprising.

HaRRicH | Posted 12/9/2009 9:04:24 AM | message detail
I think CATS would do mostly fine -- he's always gotten a steady ~11%-13% in most matches he's been in, plus he hung tough with Ansem and actually beat somebody last year...even if it is Nathan Drake pre-Uncharted 2. I think he's also understood to be a regular contest-tradition at this point, so if his position was on the line in a twelve-way poll with competition this strong/weak, I think he'd do fine. He shouldn't win, but he'd make the rest of the poll look bad.
