you canadians, I can never figure you out for polls.

Shakes Fist!

You know what still surprises me?

That Kefka has 41% on Bowser in the UK despite FFVI not coming out here till '02 on PSX with the FFX Demo Disc.

Is emulating THAT common?

I doubt it.

DISSIDIA

Plus, the whole UK not really liking Nintendo thing

Buy/Sell: If Crono and Magus had been in Dissidia, they would have won their first round matches.

In Europe more so, maybe. It wouldn't surprise me that most European gamers either got into the habit of emulating or importing games.

Wow over the past 30 minutes Bowser has been getting 65% of the vote.

Kefka doing well cos of FFVI advance clearly.

I can only speak for myself, but as a European I quickly decided that if Square didn't want to release their games over here, I'd find other ways to play them.

Wow, Bowser's really killing Kefka with this ASV. If Bowser can continue pulling in 65%, he might even be able to get to the percentage he put on Frog.

Now my prediction of "Being lucky to end up at 38%" doesn't seem that out there, does it?

You think Europe can be a pretty big cash cow even if you have to translate in different languages. When I went to Portugal they were selling games for 60 Euros (about $90 US)

Hmm... TRE once said that if he won the Guru, he'd have SD3 nominated if there was a games contest, at which I mentioned that it'd get blown out. Which causes me to wonder...

I think with Euro support ragna would have made AT least the vote ins at the polls.

For what it's worth, this was Bowser's second best hour against Frog last round. His best hour came two hours later. I wonder if we'll follow the same pattern here.

That's a pretty common pattern. 6-7 (West Coast ASV) is usually the strongest hour in the ASV, followed by 4-5 (Central and Eastern).

Canada likes Old Square, Blizzard and isn't as big of a fan of Halo and Kingdom Hearts.

I come back after 3 hours and Bowser's already basically at 61%. Kefka's ASV is beyond awful.

Crono? lolzzz

But in all seriousness, Crono gave up 4000 votes to Sonic with the ASV.

Crono would win the ASV over Kefka, no question.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Well, I see Kefka had his 40% before losing it rather rapidly. Drat.

...New goal! Kefka ends between 36.78% and 37.31% so I can conclude Kefka > Frog and Bowser > Crono from the same match!

Kefka could lose the ASV to a Chrono Trigger character and I wouldn't bat an eye.
---
"Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia

Sonic was already getting 51.78% on Crono before the ASV started, the ASV boosted that to 53.37%. Crono was more of a just collapse after a few hours rather than collapse with the ASV guy.
---

Yeah, CT is so bad in Europe they really don't have a good time period aside from the very beginning and very end of a match.

I think that's what happened in Bowser/Frog, by the way. Frog would normally have a decent DSV, but because Europe exercised a disproportionate influence on it due to not voting earlier, he sucked during the DSV instead. When we transitioned to the ASV, he just sort of continued sucking. Since Kefka/FFVI is decent-to-good in Europe, he doesn't have that problem. Which allows him to completely collapse once we move from Europe/American DSV to American kiddies.
---

Wyoming'd indeed

Good hour for Kefka there (compared to other ASV hours). Lets see how the west coast ASV treats him though

I sort of miss the old ASV. The horror of going from pulling in 54% hours to 41% hours is rarely ever matched.

It would be awesome if Kefka managed to stay 40%.Oh well.
---
GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

Assuming Bowser doesn't rise another 2% (which he actually could at this rate) is there any reason not to say that Kefka>Frog?

Would you really expect frog to not raise his game in a close encounter of the weird kind?
---
Shakes Fist!

Just the old irrational reasoning of always go with Frog in a close match and never go with Kefka.

Also, there's a chance Kefka gets stuck with lettuce again, or something.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Nah, Bowser's not gonna get more than 62% at this rate, if he gets that high. Kefka will bring him down a decent bit once we get into night vote territory, too.
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

And I'd definitely go with Frog. When I think a CT character has more than a 25% chance of winning, I pick them. And if I think they have a 25% chance of winning most people would probably give them a 5% chance of winning.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Kefka and Frog are gonna end up close enough in the final stats to be in tossup territory.

Close enough that I want to see that match next year, in fact.
---
"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

I think the safe assumption is Kefka>Frog now.

But there are some things to reason for Frog with - Kefka being inconsistent/Frog more proven, possible Dissidia boost wearing off or something, and also both had day matches with Bowser. Frog is relatively better than Kefka at the first half, I believe.
---

Kefka finally got his first 40% update since 3:15 (EST). But he still couldn't bring Bowser below 60%. He had to hit 40 on the dot.

If it's close at the end, you can count on Frog's fans to partake in the one form of cheating that still works.

I love the guy but his fans need to cut the garbage.

OR, here's a better solution-we need people to get better taste so Frog is never losing his match! Problem solved.
