And
people, Crono/Vincent comparisons are supposed to used for lost causes,
not matches that are still in doubt. What's the fun of showing a
projection with Drake winning, and seeing him actually come back come 3
PM? --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Does
anybody think Drake's ASV will be good enough to swing the the match
3%? Uncharted had a below average ASV and The Boss's isn't THAT bad... --- I used to have a good sig. Now my account is only a shadow of its former glory. |

Drake's
almost certainly doing SOMETHING with the ASV, but I expect him to
simply stall or take a couple votes per update, not have big cuts. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

From: Lightslayer987 | #347 He probably will, but if The Boss can get enough of a lead, it won't matter. He won't be pulling in 55% updates or anything. Plus, I'm still convinced that night voters voting a second time will help out The Boss. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

From: KingBartz | #352 Boss went even with a FF6 character in the asv (as in no real percentage change) --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/19/2010 9:33:16 AM | message detail |
Well,
Drake is doing better in North America than the rest of the world, so
he should get a boost from the ASV just from NA taking up a higher
proportion of votes without any shift from day/night trends. He'll get
some from that too in all likelihood given that this is MGS we're
talking about. Not sure if it's enough to turn 2%. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/19/2010 9:33:20 AM | message detail |
Yeah,
I don't really get the complaints about Drake's pic. He's got better
pics, for sure, but it's not like this is sprite Snake here. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

lol @ a PS3 character dominating the after-school vote. You overestimate the number of kiddies with parents rich enough to buy them PS3's over Wii's and 360's before the 2009 price drop. Those kiddies won't have their parents buying them yet another gaming console this gen. Drake's ASV will not be the game-changer you people expect it to be. Kiddies don't own PS3's, it's the older crowd who owns them. --- Not Wylvane |

Now that's the kind of update Boss needs. Just a few more and she might clinch the match early. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 1/19/2010 9:36:51 AM | message detail |
I
was looking up some old trends for this match, and The Boss has only
been in THREE matches? They're all somewhat inconclusive, too. Against Celes, Boss did fine during the day. Then again anything would do well during the day against an FF6 character. There is that one 4way match where she collapsed against Tails, then held on to win third place. This one is interesting, because she was also in there with Vincent and Zelda and didn't totally collapse. Then again Tails, a Sonic character, didn't have a good day vote. The attention here all went to Vincent and Zelda. Which means the match against Tifa 1v1 is the best to use. Boss stayed about even all day, losing only a little bit of day percentage. Tifa and Vincent are the only things from FF7 with a day vote anymore, so that was a good day showing by The Boss. If we even have a clear ASV today, the match might not change very much. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ Hey, it's that dog! |

I never understood why it used to be so hard for a character like Snake to get consistently good pics. old snake feels somewhat weaker than young snake and of course there's Sprite snake, but man are his better pics great. Snake vs Sora was just amazing. --- Shakes Fist! |

Also, augh, this is the second time Wyoming fails me. Can't win 'em all, I guess. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

Anyway, if Boss keeps this up Drake is toast. His game lost the ASV to freaking Dragon Age. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

The
Boss actually cut percentage on Tifa during the ASV. Now, FF7's day
vote isn't something great but, well....it's worse than The Boss's. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

The FFVII females have always had a much worse day vote than the males though. In any case, the fact that we've missed the night vote and the morning vote so far is probably going to completely screw up our existing ASV trends. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Tifa had opposite trends to the male FF7 characters, didn't she? She started better but had a worse finish. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |
