Looks like Crono is starting to make a serious comeback. I think he needs to make bigger cuts then these, though.

CT seldom loses close matches. Food for thought.

They seldom go into the final hour against pokemon joke characters, though.

5 vote cut.

13 actually.

Question, any predictions of a some kind of timezone or whatevervote that could make Missingno get a sudden boost soon?
red sox 777 | Posted 2/14/2010 12:14:20 PM | message detail
Crono needs to cut 5.25 votes per update to tie.

I guess it does help that Missingno's US percentage is currently higher than his percentage overall right now. Although Canada is dragging down Missingno, which is bad.

The morning vote should be starting in Australia soon, and Missingno is winning big there right now. But soon after that, the morning vote starts in Asia where Crono is winning big.

Ehh, they were good, but not legendary status due to not being marquee characters. I mean stuff like Crono/Mario, Crono/Vincent, aka.

Red/Ocelot was pretty good, but this is definitely the best match so far this contest. Whether it is legendary depends on whether it stays close till the end.

And Missingno gains almost all those cuts back!

I get the feeling this is going to be a stallfest for the next few hours.

He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII.
Chaotic Mind | Posted 2/14/2010 12:23:40 PM | message detail
He went from +375 to +348. Is that really a huge drop? I don't look at votes per update often enough to really know.

The final margin of victory will probably be like 400-500 votes. This could be surprisingly boring

By far. Ken/wesker just decided who'd be Ganons fodder for round 2. This match could mean who is the winner of the entire contest.

ShatteredElysium | Posted 2/14/2010 12:25:56 PM | message detail
Well not huge but definitely significant. Was 391 the update before that too so it's like over a 10% drop off in votes in the course of 10 mins.

red sox 777 | Posted 2/14/2010 12:26:35 PM | message detail
The way to think about this is to think what percentages Crono needs to get in the upcoming hours to win. Right now, he only needs to average about 50.5% over the rest of the match. If he's getting 50% now, just following normal CT/Nintendo trends will give him that.

No, the weekend day vote starts up around 8 AM, picks up in earnest by 9 AM, and starts tailing off past 3 PM. Past 6 PM we get into the SNV, which always existed on weekends, even in 24-hour matches. For Nintendo, generally you adjust those times a bit earlier, and for KH or Xbox, you adjust it later a bit. The Xbox SNV is as good as its day vote.

The longer the stalling lasts, the harder it's going to be for Crono to comeback, even if he does pick up the pace in a few hours. The votes per update are going to continue dropping from here on how and less votes per update means less votes for Crono to work with if he wants to pull that comeback.

Except with CT's Day Vote how it is, stalling in the day is nearly a positive for it.
