I
think Pokemon's boosted a good deal since 2007. Pikachu's round 4 match
last year really impressed me. He was in a match where he should have
gotten Last Place Factored and SFF'd, but he still put up 42.5% on
Vincent and Crono- narrowly beating Yoshi's percentage on Squall. Except Squall > Crono/Vincent, so Yoshi is still safe from pika-suck --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

I
do like Snake more than Pikachu, but I'll be damned if I'm not voting
for Pika tonight. He's one of those characters that I've gotten an
affection towards solely because of his contest performance. Also guys, keep in mind that for the past two years people keep hyping a ridiculous Pikachu upset in R3 that has no shot at happening.

That's because he beat Cloud twice, and more importantly, led Link for 6 hours.

Most
fanbases are willing to accept that, but the Link fanbase is more
demanding. Link must win every match, in every format, and moreover he
must lead at every update. It was bad enough that Link lost to a tetris
piece, but to lose to a real character is far worse. Now, fortunately
Link didn't actually lose to Snake, but he was losing for 6 hours, and
that's just horrible. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

Wow, Jecht broke 40% on Zelda in a *day* match! What a man! And you know Zelda loved every second of it heh :) Falcon just breaks 30%. Would've done slightly worse in a day match, as even though the overnight favors Cloud, Cloud's horrid board vote would probably make him rise all day even against a Brawl character. Falcon did nothing but stall percentage slightly and briefly with the morning vote. He'd have done relatively better with the ASV, but with the SNV he still likely would've finished significantly below what he got here in this match. Which actually makes me question whether Samus' supposed disadvantage in a night match vs. Cloud is being overstated. Given their board votes and night votes, that match is a setup to have the most trendy trends of the contest :) However Cloud's board vote is so horrible that having a 1st-12 hour match isn't really an advantage for him over a "neutral" trend character, I think. He might even do slightly better in a day match where the anti-votes would be more diluted since the vote totals are higher. Samus isn't neutral, she's more day oriented - however the night match shouldn't really be much of a handicap to her at all, I think. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

In,
come to think it, it's actually probably a for sure yes that against a
"neutral" character Cloud finishes with a higher % in a day match than
a night match. Despite FF7's ASV no longer being what it was. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/10/2010 10:17:07 AM | message detail |
FF7
is really quite balanced between the 2 halves. The first 2 hours are so
bad, and make up such a high percentage of the total votes in the first
12 hours, that they basically make up for the excellent overnight and
subpar to bad ASV. I agree that Falcon does better with a day match, but that's because the Smash ASV is unbelievably good. Sandbag went from 46% hours against Magus in the DSV to 59% hours in the ASV. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!

It's
not that surprising Leon is holding up well apart from the whole pic
factor thing. RE5 is still popular around here according to the top 100
games list. In a year where nobody has any games recently out or hyped
up, I wouldn't be surprised to see Leon > Ryu. In fact, I think I
would take Dante > Leon > Ryu in a year where all things are
equal between them. --- -Heals severely dry skin -18 hour moisturization -Fragrance free -With Vitamin E |

From: KamikazePotato | #1404 What what what?? 3-4% better?!! I surely hope that's Hochi-speak percentages there! Falcon is a day character, not neutral, so I wouldn't say it's out of the question he finishes with a higher %age in a day match (albeit it certainly seems unlikely, as Falcon was never truly cutting percent at any point). Anything over .50% though and you need to lay down the drugs! :) Again though, against neutral characters, night matches are probably a minor disadvantage for Cloud. He misses the overnight vote, but he also misses the power hour, and he's got another say 10K-20K votes to dilute the anti-votes. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
KamikazePotato | Posted 3/10/2010 10:26:14 AM | message detail |
The
Smash ASV is astronomical. Falcon would have temporarily boosted back
up this his 35% Power-Hour levels. In a day match? Yeah, he could get
33-34%. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |
creativename | Posted 3/10/2010 10:28:41 AM | message detail |
Actually
I suppose you could maybe say Falcon could've gotten up to 31% in a day
match - but that's asking a *lot*. The FF7 12pm-3pm DSV would've been
fine and the SNV is pretty killer. The Smash ASV is great but again,
those extra votes to dilute the anti-Cloud portion is very very
significant. And looking at the polls it actually seems more like 20K-30K difference. To put that in perspective the recent weeknight polls only seem to get about 55K, so we're like talking an extra 40% votes. Who'd be "normal" in terms of anti-votes as compared to the night vote proportion, where anti-votes are very overweighted. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Hochimihnister | Posted 3/10/2010 10:29:35 AM | message detail |
Ok,
no he wouldn't have. Cloud was going to get to about 70.5%-71% before
the ASV, lose 1-1.5% and then recover with the SNV. He would have
stayed where he ended when it was all said and done. The ASV is diluted
this year and no non-KH character has really impressed with it |

I
could see 3% compared to his night match percentage, actually. That's
what Smash does- lose percentage like mad for the first 15 hours of the
match. It always still ends up higher anyways. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

The
Power Hour is much worse for Cloud than the ASV, but it's much worse
for Falcon too. Melee's power hour is amazing, but its ASV is doubly
so, and counts for more votes than the power hour. 3% is probably too much, but I'd guess 2% myself. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

Which
Nintendo characters have impressed with the day this year? Kirby did
nothing to Vivi, Pikachi did nothing to Comander Fodder, Bowser did
nothing to Frog and very little to Kefka, Ganondorf did nothing to Ken, Zelda did nothing to Jecht... need i go on? The legendary day vote champion Captain Falcon did nothing to Wander and lost a full percent to Riku (It was a sunday but the point still stands) |
creativename | Posted 3/10/2010 10:40:31 AM | message detail |
I
just did the math, and the 7am-9am hours (that's what we consider the
morning vote right?), Falcon got 28.54%. I could see Falcon getting a
33%-34% hour or two in the ASV, but he certainly doesn't finish the
match that high, or close to it. From: red sox 777 | #1457 Saying it's "much worse" for Falcon is a bit exaggerated - and you absolutely cannot compare the difference to Cloud. They're worlds apart. To think Falcon would get the same in the ASV as the Power Hour is not even arguable when we're talking Cloud. Nobody gets as high against Cloud as during the Power Hour. I'd think even Sora's best hour against Cloud would come during the PH, and it might not be close. Cloud's Power Hour anomaly is unlike any other trend in existence. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
