Ryu takes the lead... very close to when Ken took the lead against Wesker IIRC!

(And we all know how that went; nice try Dante).

It's hilarious how during the hockey game, it was one long stall by Dante. Then the instant the medal ceremony was over, Ryu starting Shoryukenning that white-haired fool.

From: LOLContests | #1953
Why are people acting like Dante is some choker all of a sudden? This is what? The second close match he's ever lost?


Yeah, that's pretty silly.

Albeit...this is a day match which was to the advantage of Dante, plus he had the hockey factor taking would-be North American Ryu voters away, if you believe in that. This was a pretty advantageous spot for Dante. He doesn't keep it that close in a 24-hour match.

Awesome match either way, though. Can't beat two top tier characters having a close match.

Dante should have done better overnight according to Geolocation, but the hockey watchers would have voted earlier in the day, so I imagine the final result probably stays fairly close to what it is now.

I posted a very thorough analysis on this last night just before midnight. Geolocation logic is incorrect. SF and it's characters almost always do significnatly better in the first 12 hours of the match as opposed to the 2nd 12 hours - with the only exception in like 10 matches being the Crono/L-Block/Ryu match, where Ryu barely did better the 2nd 12 hours, and he was with...well...Crono and L-Block, who are even more lopsided than him.

At this point, I'm willing to buy that. If a SF character is at the 180ish range 'round the time Ken/Wesker was, the lead change WILL happen. :P

Now this is just a wild theory and likely incorrect, but I wonder if the huge Ryu run recently was a sudden influx of post-hockey game voters.

More likely, it was just coincidental with the night vote starting. Or perhaps a mix of both.

He's losing to someone who got killed by Bowser and barely got 55% on friggin' Rikku. And to think Dante looked better than Ryu every year since DMC3 came out....

Considering how Ryu spiked in the intermissions, I'd say that Hockey Factor is now proven. We should ask Bacon to run a poll and see if GameFAQS loves hockey after the contest ends!

Well, more like "Were you watching the US-Canada game".

Do you like hockey would have a much lower "Yes" number :)

If Terra > Squall happens, GameFAQs sucks.

Thankfully we'll instead see how much Terra leeched from DISSIDIA. Since I'm sure Squall SFF's her badly with that.

Votes per hour in this match:

1:00 | 9931
2:00 | 8549
3:00 | 8105
4:00 | 7120
5:00 | 6414
6:00 | 5761
7:00 | 5756

Hockey Factor is for real as the votes for the last hour barely dropped from the hour before that. In the Super Bowl match, the votes actually boosted a tiny bit in the hour after the Super Bowl ended. Though that didn't happen here, there was only a 5 vote drop in this hour.
