From: LeonhartFour | #955 I'm talking about a day match. Obviously he loses a 24 hour match, and it's not close whatsoever. And slapping 5% on Sora 2nd twelve hour vs. 1st 12 hour normal. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Look
at the Squall/Sora match last year. Squall got a 3500+ lead while the
two of them were combining for 30% of the vote. That would be a 10,000+
vote lead in 1v1. Yet Sora still cut 1500+ with the ASV, which
translates to 4,500+ in 1v1. That was really a very astonishing
turnaround, and while Bowser is better at the day vote than Squall,
that really shows you the power of Sora's ASV. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

Does anyone know all the entrants who lost while one of their games was Number 1? The only one I know off the top of my head is Link in 2003, although I think these others are possibilities: 2002: Tidus (Final Fantasy X) Mario (Super Mario Sunshine) 2003: Pikachu (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire) Link (Soul Calibur GCN) Sp2004: Don't think any were recent enough 2004: I actually remember paying attention the the Top FAQS around this time, and they were Doom 3, ToS, and Star Ocean 3 during the contest. Can't remember what others snuck in, but those were the big ones. Viewtiful Joe (Viewtiful Joe PS2) is possible though Sp2005*: Officer Tenpenny (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2005: Carl Johnson (GTA: San Andreas) Vincent Valentine (FFVII) Cloud Strife (FFVII) Sephiroth (FFVII) -Can't quite remember what the Advent Children leak did to the FAQ list. 2006: Kingdom Hearts (Kingdom Hearts II) Fall 2006: Can't remember what was No. 1 before FFXII. 2007: Any of the Pokemanz (Pokemon Diamond/Pearl) The Orange Box (Gordon Freeman) 2008: Dunno. Maybe Knuckles and that Sonic RPG. 2009: Street Fighter IV and Fallout 3 are the only possibilities I see. *Resident Evil 4 GCN never hit #1, IIRC. --- "I thought you said something about a nice little slideshow?"--Crono Yesmar |

From: LeonhartFour | #1006 I'm not sure what you mean - what timeframes? If you're talking about the diluted ASV this year, then yes that could come into play. Although KH and Char haven't really had a problem with that. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/8/2010 10:05:18 AM | message detail |
Yeah, their day votes are so good that they still look good despite having the ASV diluted. I still think it'd affect Sora enough to where he wouldn't win. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

anyway just because you lose certain timeframes of the poll, too. Yeah, I agree with this. The day/night differences here aren't going to be as big as in a 24-hour match, because day voters can vote at night, and night voters can vote in the day. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!

From: LeonhartFour | #1055 Very possible, perhaps even likely. Would've been a fun match though. Bowser would've been rolling along and then wham, danger signs. I'm not sure who to root for in Bowser vs. Charizard. I love Bowser, but Mario/Bowser II? I actually think Bowser would do much better this year, I think he might even escape the doubling - maybe. But he'd still get SFFed, and the match would tell us nothing, and be boring. Mario/Char is a potentially enjoyable match. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/8/2010 10:09:56 AM | message detail |
I
wouldn't mind seeing Mario/Charizard for the sake of "cleaner stats"
and to see just how strong Charizard really is, but I don't think
there'd be much more to enjoy about it than that. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

I
was pretty ambivalent about Charizard when he was in the NRT, but after
nominating him it's natural for me to hope he does well. Making the
elite eight would constitute well! --- Currently Playing: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Ocarina of Time, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn |

From: LeonhartFour | #1101 Charizard could bandwagon himself into a Kirby-like overperformance. Which at best would mean maybe approaching 45%, but a match doesn't have to be close to be somewhat entertaining. Humiliating underperformances can be fun too! Mario/Bowser II is just a pretty horrid match for this late in the contest though. But hey, who knows. Maybe Mega Man will make Mario/Bowser discussion moot! :o) --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: KamikazePotato | #1108 Or how about vote Mega Man just because Mega Man>Mario would be incredibly awesome! Still would be very surprised to see that, but I do think Mega can break 47.50%. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

If
MM beats Mario, he'll be out of reach of Charizard day or night barring
a massive HG/SS release boost. MM is fairly balanced between the two
halves of the poll. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |
KamikazePotato | Posted 3/8/2010 10:17:46 AM | message detail |
I
think we're underrating just how big a scare MM can give Mario.
Assuming no wonky SFF thing happens (which I suppose it could, but I
wouldn't bet on it) 74% on ike vs. 72% on Ryu Hayabusa. The former had
SFF, the latter had a pic advantage. Which is more impressive? It's also a night match, which definitely favors the Blue Bomber by a good bit. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Pokemon
fans, how big is HG/SS? As I understand it, it's not actually a new
title, so at first glance I wouldn't expect it to equal SMS or TP in
effect, but what do you think? Basically every single Pokemon fan should be interested in it, problem is those people were already likely to vote Charizard anyways. The big difference would be the large influx of casual Pokemon fans (that don't always come to GameFAQs every day) would have gotten the game and head to GameFAQs to ask for help on a game that they have already beaten. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 125/152 - Today's Winners: Sora and Kratos |

From: KamikazePotato | #1153 Does the night match really matter there? Both seem pretty balanced 12-hour wise. Looking at the Mario/MMX trends - http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3293&num=4 From this one the night would actually seem to favor Mario by a trivial amount. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3300&num=4 Here the night favors MMX, but not by very much. But yeah, if there's no SFF this could be a 51/49 affair. The Power Hours could be big - if Mega has any sort of bandwagon, and the match is close, the early voters could conceivably give him the unlikely victory. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Oh,
and I believe that's the daylight savings time match? Which should
theoretically cut Mario's morning vote - his best time - by one hour.

No,
because Daylight Savings will affect people who vote in the mornings

TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/8/2010 10:33:12 AM | message detail |
Other
way around. It's a Saturday night anyway so people just stay up as late
as usual and then sleeo in. Someone who would be up that late anyway
will stay up that late. And it doesn't affect anywhere but America,
which I think also favors Mega Man. Bottom line: an 11-hour match favors Mega Man and will really hurt Mario's morning vote. |

I wonder if we can convince Bacon to extend the match to a twelfth hour if Mario is losing. |
charmander6000 | Posted 3/8/2010 10:35:06 AM | message detail |
And
I think you are overrating the overall effect of the match other than
lower vote totals unless you think Mario wins with around 50.50% or
something. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 125/152 - Today's Winners: Sora and Kratos |
