Charizard
is already ahead in NA and the US. For the record, at this point in
time he was losing both regions to Kratos by a good amount and went on
to storm the ASV. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Actually, Charizard could end up around 63%. L-Block vs. Frog in the day? L-Block vs. Kefka in the day? --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

From: KamikazePotato | #151 Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he jumps a couple percentage with the ASV. L Block has near FF6 kinda ASV iirc. --- http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/ffxiii/events/ff13_opening.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |

I doubt L-Block is that bad in the day anymore. WCC barely lose the ASV to Luigi. 61% is probable though. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Well
I'd be very happy if Frog could beat L-Block in the day. Not even I
would have picked that before the contest......probably. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

L-Block's
day vote is so bad because it usually has a good night vote, which it
doesn't have this time. Same problem the Cube had. Charizard's day vote is better than Weegi's though. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

So
Leon, you said 60% would put him in contention. If he finishes near
64%, and with HGSS' release day and all, do you think Zard is the
favorite now? --- "I beat him, and he says lightyears measure distance, not time. ..Dammit, Brock is on another planet." - SEP |

From: Fayt_Esteed | #162 First will be Sephiroth getting his vengeance on Snake. 2nd will be the Zard's division triumph over Bowser.

From: ExThaNemesis | #159 Charizard's doing what he needs to do to win. I'm still going to back Bowser because I really don't know what to think of L-Block anymore. I'd still take Sora > Kratos, too. I think the whole match being on the release date factor is being overrated anyway. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

So it looks like a day match between Sora/Bowser would've been real tight, with Sora being a favorite but not a huge one. Charizard looks like he'll be a slight underdog against Bowser. Think he'll finish with like 61.5% here. The fact that the Bowser match is a day match helps. It being a weekend counters that somewhat, but he still gets to avoid the Mario morning vote. And Zard's night vote is probably better than Bowser's too. I'm kinda hoping Zard wins just because Mario/Bowser II is pretty weak. Mairo vs. Charizard is quite interesting though. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I feel like we've seen this before... L-Block > Ryu (through 2008), therefore... Charizard may as well be 60-40ing Ryu going into the divisional finals. Bowser impresses in a match against a Square character who was the heavy Board 8 favorite.

To
elaborate, everyone loves Gold/Silver. It's got the nostalgia of the
old games with the improved game mechanics of the newer games, and -
possibly the biggest reason - you get to visit all of the old areas
from RBY in it, with Red being the final boss of the game. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

So it looks like a day match between Sora/Bowser would've been real tight, with Sora being a favorite but not a huge one. I disagree with this one. If Bowser/Sora had started at noon, Bowser would've been at 56-57% going into the ASV, based on how he did with those last three hours. Sora's not coming back from that. Speaking of which: Time | Sora | Bowser | Votes 0:05 | 43.04% | 56.96% | 1364 1:00 | 45.36% | 54.64% | 10177 2:00 | 45.96% | 54.04% | 5898 3:00 | 45.76% | 54.24% | 4189 4:00 | 46.82% | 53.18% | 3110 5:00 | 48.14% | 51.86% | 2470 6:00 | 45.30% | 54.70% | 2362 7:00 | 46.47% | 53.53% | 3131 8:00 | 46.54% | 53.46% | 3552 9:00 | 45.33% | 54.67% | 4068 10:00 | 42.88% | 57.12% | 4102 11:00 | 44.08% | 55.92% | 4480 12:00 | 42.77% | 57.23% | 4321 Sora had one really good hour in the middle of the night, but nothing else even close to that. The morning vote was actually about the same as the night vote, but the later part of the match (the beginning of the DSV) was Bowser Zone. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

I
just point to how long Diamond and Pearl were the 1-2 FAQ when they
were out and big. There's going to be a big influx of Pokemon fans on
the match day and further on. I'm not gonna say Charizard's a lock, but I will say that I'm extremely confident going into the match, especially after Zard finishes stomping L-Block today. --- "I beat him, and he says lightyears measure distance, not time. ..Dammit, Brock is on another planet." - SEP |

Wait, Leon, did you just lost a sig-bet? Because we have a sig-bet coming in three days...! Anyway, Charizard's doing great...not necessarily impressing due to L-Block's weird nature, but you can't rule him out against Bowser with a performance like this. It doesn't help Bowser in this SFF-battle that Mario couldn't SFF Ike much/any and HG/SS comes out the day of their day-match. Bowser probably deserves to be the favorite because of his long-standing iconic presence in gaming and I'd take Sora > Kratos, but Bowser got Sora at night and I'd probably take day-Kratos > night-Sora. If the ASV sides with Charizard -- and it should -- I'll favor Charizard for their battle. Reminder: if L-Block loses with 42.22% or less, Charizard takes the record for the biggest beating on a former character Battle champion. Also, if Charizard pulls another upset and beats Bowser, it'll be the first time since Vincent in 2005 that a newcomer won its division. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Let's see...Bowser got 63-64% on Frog. Charizard got around the same on Duke Nukem. Frog vs. Duke Nukem? Man, these stats suck. Frog probably does better with a night match, and Charizard probably does better with a day match. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

Charizard seems to be in striking distance of Bowser to begin with. HGSS is just another advantage on Charizard's side. --- Every night will have a day.

He'd be without his best times in the Power Hour and and morning vote, and you think he'd get 56% before that ASV? That's nuts. Bowser was doing better with the DSV than he was with the morning vote.

From: ExThaNemesis | #191 I agree 100% with this. At the rate it was going, the best Sora could do was stall with the ASV. There was no way he was going to be able to turn around a giant beating like that, especially with Bowser going at 57% at the DSV --- http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/ffxiii/events/ff13_opening.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism |
creativename | Posted 3/8/2010 9:55:42 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #855 I highly doubt he'd be at 56% with the latter DSV. The first part here seemed more like an extended morning vote. In a day match Bowser would be without his traditional two best times, the NPH and the morning vote. And again everyone massively underestimates just how awful Sora's first 12 hours are. He sucks throughout them, just less so at certain points. We know that Sora 2nd 12-hour gets 54.5+% on his 1st 12-hour self. Just lo I'd peg Sora as the deserved favorite, but again not a huge one at all. The match would likely be very very close, and it'd be quite unlikely for the winner to get over 51%. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Bowser
would probably be up 7000 votes or so by the time we hit the ASV, if
not more. Do you really think Sora would start cutting around that time
with the ASV? Yes, I understand you cut all that out by starting the
poll at noon, but the point is that Bowser was dominating the poll so
thoroughly that I just don't see Sora turning it around that easily. I don't think you can just look at first 12 hours Sora vs. second 12 hours Sora, slap 5% on him, and declare him a favorite. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
creativename | Posted 3/8/2010 9:58:37 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #909 It's highly unlikely the winner would finish with over 51%. Again it'd be a close match. And really, this 56% - I don't think you can base that just on a couple hours here. Sora would likely be down like a 1000 votes but he'd swing that; whether he'd win is another story. It'd be close, probably coming down to under 1000 votes for the winner. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'm
not saying it wouldn't be close. I'm just saying that Sora probably
still loses, and he lost so handily that I don't know how you can just
call him a favorite just because you switch the time of the poll,
regardless of how good he is with the day vote. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
