another division I've just created, weaker than the one in the previous Stats topic

Phoenix Wright

Donkey Kong

--------------------

Riku
Master Chief

Akuma
Donkey Kong

Master Chief
Donkey Kong

And MC is the winner.

And I'm honestly curious as to why people place so much stock in Ezio, at least for this crap division. He barely landed 60% on Simon. Donkey Kong would stomp him right now.

Ganon hasn't moved in the last hour, so it seems certain that Ken will end above 35%. Maybe he can even utilize the SNV to steal some percentage back. This ended up being pretty respectable.

Assuming a fair 60/40 relationship between Ryu and Ken, Ryu would get over 46% on this Ganondorf. That's also respectable, but I dunno if it's enough to take Dante.

Ganon seems to be running out of gas here. I find it odd that if Ken is supposed to get the SNV, that it would be starting this early.

Speaking of Frog, if we are to assume that the whole CT team dropped since last year/4ways, then Bowser is undoubtedly a clear step behind Ganon now. I'm worried much more about Sora's chances against Charizard than Bowser.

Their 2002 ratio was around 59/41 (which should be a pretty fair ratio since they both faced Samus that year), although Ryu is projected to beat him 65/35 in 2003, so I dunno what changed there.

Frog seems like he's dropped the least out of the CT guys, but I think that's mostly because we rarely ever get a good read on the guy.

Poor Sora won't have an opportunity to flex his ASV muscle this entire contest. He's got night matches until Bowser and then a day match against Charizard (good luck seeing a big shift there). If he makes it through that, he's got a day match against Mario.

It's hard to argue for a CTDS boost (at least one that happened AFTER the game came out as opposed to before), but I'd at least assume they're equal to their 2008 selves for now. We'll not get a good read on Crono this year, and Magus is inconclusive, although I think he looks stronger than 2007 at any rate. We'll probably get a pretty good read on Frog through Bowser.

As for dropping, since 2004, Magus and Frog have fallen considerably harder than Crono, Magus especially. In 2005 he was projected to over 40% on Crono, and we don't even need to get into 2003.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3433

Based on past polls, Canada would make up about 10% of that NA total, so the US is responsible for approximately 65% of all votals. California makes up 12% of the US population, so it's reasonable to assume that Californians make up almost 8% of our worldwide votals. That's actually on par with the UK (if not a bit more). Based on that, a California ASV can definitely alter trends if it really favors one person, as it's seemingly favoring Ken here.

California loves Mega Man, too, although they don't seem to care for Protoman that much. Looking at MM2's matches with Tetris, Cali seems to love Tetris, too. L-Block's two matches against Ryu seem to confirm this, too.

From scoring 31% on 2003 Sonic to scoring 36% on Ganondorf isn't that much of a decline and i would take Ken to beat guys like Frog, Shadow and Magus now. Another good performance from Capcom.
