Revan got screwed by the nominating process.

'Revan'
'Darth Revan'
'Character Name'

Just like

'Red'
'Pokemon Trainer'
'Ash'

Once they got added to the database, they didn't even need our rallies to get in.

Don't be so quick to call it. 2% looks like a lot, and it normally is, because normally there's already 15 hours worth of votes in before the ASV. But here, there will still be a lot more poll ahead of us than behind us at 3 PM. Assuming Boss still has 52% then, Drake just needs to pull in 51% or so during the ASV to come back- less if he can pull similar numbers in the SNV as ASV. I do think we might see the SNV matter more this year, and start before 11 PM, but going from 48% to 51% is not a very large shift, and it's all the Drake needs.

I'm not going to worry about Revan/Terra unless Cecil upsets Knuckles, and no Dissidia boosts or Sonic team collapses will have me take that one.

I wouldn't say Revan himself is spoilerish since he's got a default picture with his mask, plus he's heavily talked about in dialogue even before his spoiler. Plus the KotOR spoiler is pretty much as famous as the FF7 spoiler at this point, so everyone already knows it, and those who don't won't get spoiled since they'll see Revan as the main villain behind Malak or whatever.

This isn't about the percent it's about the lead.

You can also look at it this way. Most comebacks happen when the winning character has below 51% of the votes, Nathan needs a much bigger shift in order to make a comeback.

Celes got killed by The Boss four years ago. Shadow bomb or not, Knuckles would still easily beat either of these two and won't have trouble with Celes.

Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/19/2010 10:23:44 AM | message detail
HK-47's the comic relief, has some great lines, and stands out a lot based on character design, not to mention he's in both KotOR games. Revan... It's hard to explain Revan's importance without spoiling KotOR, but any KotOR fan will recognize Revan and the gravity of the spoiler at the time should be enough to endear him to any KotOR fan. Plus, you know, Darth Revan. Like there's no Star Wars fans on GameFAQs.

Of course, I'm not ready to call one stronger than the other. Both have good reasons to be the stronger KotOR character.

red sox 777 | Posted 1/19/2010 10:25:25 AM | message detail
Percentage and lead are very closely tied. If Nathan can get 51% of the vote during the ASV, of course he'll be cutting the lead too. It's easier to come back from 3 hours averaged at 52% compared to 15 hours averaged at 51%. The key is the shift from the DSV percentages to the ASV percentages, and 3% is quite small for that- in a 24 hour match, a 3% shift from the DSV to the ASV would generally not be sufficient to turn around a 51-49 match.

Eh, it's okay. The update 2 updates ago was about as good for Drake as this current one is bad. Single updates don't really mean much because there's too much variance; you have to look longer time intervals to get an idea of what's going on.

Drake's best update is gaining 11 votes. Boss' best update is gaining 70+ votes.

I think that would be possible if Lightning is at least above the fodder line. We all thought Thrall was high end fodder and Link couldn't even break 80% on him. With how much weaker Sonic is compared to Link, Lightning would have to be slightly above Thrall to have a chance at breaking 30%.
