I
don't know where you guys get this info about who is a "day" character
and who is a "night" character. I would have thought Tidus would be
better in the day, and subby at night, but some of you guys are saying
exactly the opposite, so I'm pretty confused. Years of watching matches and how the percent changes thoughout the day. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 26/34 - Today's Winners: Roxas and Sub-Zero |

As
someone with Roxas in their bracket, if Subby ends this with 55% or so
(which it looks like he might), there's no way Roxas will be able to
match that. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: Dr_Football | #445 No, hush. I think this match may show that Jecht isn't getting as much of a boost as Kefka and Cecil. Plus, Phoenix has his Wiiware game. Plus Phoenix Wright must win --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

Dissidia
boost is overrated. Cecil did well because Knux just isn't strong
anymore. Arthas was overrated by 4-way stats. There is a boost but it's
not boosting Kefka from a loss to a 60% win. --- CBVIII: 33/35 - 33 pts - Losses: Ocelot, Liquid Day Pick:Sub-Zero Night Pick:Phoenix |

feeling pretty confident about Jecht winning tonight, I'm just glad I
get to enjoy the perfect bracket for another 12 hours, and stay in a

See
Tidus losing isn't making me half as angry, because he's a terrible
character and actually deserves to lose. I'm sorry for forsaking you,
Sub-Zero. Pls don't rip my spine out. =( --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

I did North America gets 70% in the night and 80% in the day Europe gets 18% at night and 12% at day The others shift about 2%. Nice. When you say night, you mean our night?(midnight-noon) So in a match like this where NA is SZ 54/46 and Europe is 46/54(current numbers, small sample size at this point, examples sake), those numbers would peg a NA/Europe only match at Day: SZ wins 48.7%-43.3% = Net 5.4% Night: SZ wins 46.1%-41.9% = Net 4.2% So the difference is just above 1% with split difference in such an example. If the differences in voting patterns b/w Europe/NA are larger than this, it can have even a larger effect. Obviously, this is super simplistic, and doesn't account for the fact that voting patterns change within NA and Europe themselves because of whether the match is day or night, but it pretty much confirms what we already know - it only makes a difference if the splits are pronounced or if the match was close in the first place. |

I
actually don't think Phoenix's board vote will be *as* crazy as many
are expecting. Seems like quite a few early voters are still voting
with their brackets. I doubt that'll really change until we're well
into Round 2 or 3. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Well,
let's discuss the important thing: Dissidia. Did Tidus not benefit from
it when we've seen Kefka and Cecil definitely benefit from it, are we
left in indecision like we kinda are with Zidane, or is Sub-Zero
looking pretty damn good? I haven't played the full game yet, but I did download the Dissidia demo. Tidus is always going to be the whiner of the FF world, no matter what specialty games SE puts him in. And because of that, I think, he's not going to really increase by much unless he's given a complete makeover. On the other hand, Kefka [in Dissidia] was a total freakin beast. It's the first time you really get to see him in all his 3D glory, and not only does he look maniacally awesome, but he has a fantastic move list that makes him a terror to play against. I'm not really sure what Cecil looks like in that game, so I can't speak for him. That's just my view on the whole "Dissidia boost" topic. |

Eh,
the ASV difference between Tidus and Sub-Zero wasn't too large to start
with, and the ASV has been badly hamstrung by the 12-hour format this
year. Tidus can hope he's getting the standard bad FF early vote,
although as he's falling not rising right now, that's probably hopeless. --- 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.... |

Sub
with his biggest gain yet. Man, I have a lot resting on this match.
Between my bracket, a max bet in spread betting while being on the
leader board, oracle with him winning, and just plain rooting for him
to solidify his popularity. Looking good so far. --- Signature |

Jecht have a pretty good board vote too, though? He seems to have a

I
think the only reason people debated Scorp/Subz was because Scorpion
made the contest first. I still have no flippin' idea how that
happened. For me, that debate has always been as simple as
blue>yellow. Seriously, how many people like yellow more than blue?
If Scorpion was red, it would be closer. Yes, I'm completely serious and you all know it's true. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Sub-Zero > Scorpion There's absolutely no reason to deny this, and I'm not sure why (or if) people do. Of course, but it still looks like the MK characters just did badly in the vote-in polls.

From: red sox 777 | #479 Well, let's wait and see how Jecht does tonight first. If he rips Phoenix a new one, then we can start wondering. And KP was just talking to me about this on AIM, but this match tonight is important for Jecht. If he wins, he may become a contest mainstay.

I think the only reason people debated Scorp/Subz was because Scorpion made the contest first. Completely agree. It persisted even after we saw a MK-poll where Sub-Zero soundly beat Scorpion.

And
as much as I love Phoenix, I think I may have to root for Jecht
tonight. Phoenix is a 3 Seed; he's not going anywhere anytime soon. If
Jecht loses this, we may never see him again - he needs a run to
solidify his place in these contests like Mr. Unfair. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: KamikazePotato | #483 Even after 2006, there were still people I remember saying that they're probably equal, which made no sense to me because Sub-Zero got 40% on post-KHII Auron while Scorpion got 35% on him beforehand. --- "Stay with me until the end.

he needs a run to solidify his place in these contests like Mr. Unfair. Well, I think that run probably helped to solidify ZackFAQs's place in these contests. I mean, if he loses to Wario in round 1 and somehow fails to get past round 2, we probably don't see him again. I think it's probably the same for Sub-Zero. If he had lost to MC back in 2006, we may have never seen him again. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

everyone will nom the winner's choice when it comes down to it, though.
