12 hour matches? Bleh. That's way too unbalanced depending on the character in the match...

There's no banana here. Years ago Master Chief nearly went even with Crono 1v1 in the day! Throw in some Mega Man aging and some Master Chief POWER UP and you've got a great receipe for disaster.

Also "lol Pokemon Trainer Red" night match Ocelot's got this guy.

The brackets have been seeded based on two sources: The top 100 characters were seeded based solely on the number of nominations received. The final 28 were voted in by users on the Poll of the Day.

I'm not sure how that divides evenly by 6, but whatever.

Oh, one quick thing: because we have twelve-hour matches, our trends should be noticably different. It's not like the night-people aren't going to ever vote in the day-time nor the day-people never vote at night, so I wouldn't count on our trends being ABSOLUTELY crucial...

...but they'll be important.

So, um, how many matches could the Board Vote/Power Hour "swing" in a night match during the contest, you think? If any.

Looking at the FFVII/OoT/LttP/FFX, the first hour brought in over 12,000 votes. By 12 PM EST (9 AM PST) it was at about 74,000. Final total was nearly double that at just over 144,000.

That effectively doubles the influence of the first hour from ~8% of the total vote to about ~16% of the total votes.

And that's in a final, it might take a while for vote totals to pick up, and the lower the number of votes, the more influential the Power Hour becomes.

Zidane/Ike and Chief/Hayabusa should be good

Sora's division is kind of interesting. Charizard has a good shot at escaping it.

Samus/Zelda rematch meh

Dante/Ryu/Leon all together

Auron/Squall hype hype hype

Seph's division is just one big black hole for interesting characters. Goodbye Tifa, Vincent and Crono

The thing with the day/night: Unless the match is super close to begin with, the time of day won't change much but the final margin. Gordon's better with the day than Tifa is, but it's not close enough for it to matter.
