Ezio still has a chance against Zelda.

After this turd-worthy performance? Heh.

If Ezio keeps this pace what does he end at? Someone extrapolate that for me.

Around 60%. He probably won't keep it up near the end of the match, though.

Wait a second.

It all makes sense. No one knew who the hell Ezio Auditore di Firenze was. But as soon as they fixed the name to Ezio Auditore da Firenze? Boom, 65% updates.

Oh hey, Bacon changed Ezio's name on the poll. It said "di Firenze" when the match started, but now it says "da Firenze."


No wonder he's doing better now! People know who it is in the poll

Wrong Name Factor

And Ezio is skyrocketing as a result. AC fans are the most hardcore people on the internet confirmed.

CV has a good SNV, but AC's is terrific. This isn't a good performance, but Ezio's not going to slow down much from here on out.

It seems that almost every one of these matches is confirming what we saw in the vote-ins. Simon is a little better than we thought.

Of course this is no excuse for Ezio. I blame the messed up poll start time.

Ezio is gaining like what? .2 every 15 mins? At this rate if he continues he'll end over 63%, but I don't expect him to shred for this long -- so I predict him ending around 61.5 - 62.

:( Even if we assume that Simon = Tails and Ezio outdoes the % by Kratos...that only puts him slightly stronger than Kratos...

Oh well, I'm hoping the match pic has something to do with it, and the lack of being well known. After this match, like I said, I'm expecting big things from you Ezio!

I understand that. I wasn't talking about him getting 63% the whole time. I was going by the percentage he was gaining -- not the percentage of votes he was getting at the time.

Right, but as he approaches 63% the rate at which he gains percent will be slower and slower. He won't gain .2% every 15 minutes unless the overall percentage he is pulling in increases.

I'm still not sure if this is too relevant to Altair. We don't really know how strong Simon is or isn't, or how much stronger Altair is than Ezio. I still don't think Altair's all that much stronger than he was last year. Liquid's like Kefka; who knows what in the world they're going to do in any given match?

But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if Ridley does really well for himself. Link already got anti-voted, Cloud got anti-voted even more, and Brawl really is his biggest game ever (Ridley had absolutely zero exposure outside of Metroid before). Like Thrall, Ridley lucked out bigtime and should enjoy a nice final X-Stats rating.
