Well
considering Sonic has just made two pretty decent % gains in a row, it
seems that Kirby's support lasted all the way up until 12:30. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

be settled within 12 hours, hooray! --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |

From: KamikazePotato | #445 Sorry, but elitism. People can vote based on any criteria they want. I can't even rank my favorite characters outside of, like, the top two. If #17 is up against #33, then I might just back #33 if it means good things for my bracket. Not everyone is like that, and that's fine, but remember that not everyone around here is so attached to the characters that they'd never be willing to compromise. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Kirby
should get stronger as the day goes on, because once most of the UK is
asleep (Sonic has almost 70% there), Kirby will start cutting
percentage. Ugh you guys make the same argument against Sonic as you did with Ganondorf. Don't you realize that just because he does worse in Europe doesn't mean he's going to keep getting better in NA! Or that his percentage will stay the same in NA. Sonic is going to keep bringing on the percentage as the day goes on and he gets more and more support from NA. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

That's actually an awesome pic. All those versions of Mario, and Bowser just casually sitting there like, "...And? That's it?" But yeah, there's no way Sonic gets above 57% even if the day vote favors him. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

It's premature though! :) The Zard still has a great shot. I think that match is a toss-up. Although I would've liked for Zard to have done a couple points better against Block. Charizard's ASV against Block was also shockingly weaksauce. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Block. Charizard's ASV against Block was also shockingly weaksauce. L-Block has become one of the most balanced characters in the contest, trends-wise, based on his matches this year. Go figure. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

Ugh
you guys make the same argument against Sonic as you did with
Ganondorf. Don't you realize that just because he does worse in Europe
doesn't mean he's going to keep getting better in NA! Or that his
percentage will stay the same in NA. Sonic is going to keep bringing on
the percentage as the day goes on and he gets more and more support
from NA. The difference is that in that match, it was North America going to sleep, while in this match, it's Europe. But we'll see soon enough- I wouldn't expect this to move more than 1% or so from here in any case. Weekend day matches have very little trend movement. --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |

From: EternalxCourage | #2259 Once again you seem to be right. However Sonic ain't rising to heaven, it just won't happen. I don't expect too much movement either way. Maybe he'll finish 0.75% up or down I'd say. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
EternalxCourage | Posted 3/13/2010 9:44:50 AM | message detail |
.03
after a .12 or whatever is pretty good. Especially if it continues
consistently there is 12 updates an hour and 11 hours left in the poll
plus some, that gives....About a 4% gain and that's only with .03
updates. I'm sure that he'll get bigger ones than that. Anyway - Kirby's NA% is likely inflated from the board vote. But as the match goes on we'll see. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

From: KamikazePotato | #333 I haven't laughed or anything, but I always felt the Sonic angst was overrated. The Ganon upset never made any sense to me, and Kirby was overrated by a 4way bandwagon. In my own mind, I was close to 100% sure Sonic was winning this division. Got a little worried after that Cecil/Knuckles debacle, but then Kratos/Tails happened. The 1 seed I was worried about was Sora. --- ¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸ How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained? |

From: LeonhartFour | #2304 But if Block was neutral trend-wise, then Char should've murdered him with the ASV. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/poll_graph.php?matchnum=3833&type=2&seconds=60&max=0 Instead they looked to have the same ASV basically.

But if Block was neutral trend-wise, then Char should've murdered him with the ASV. I mean that L-Block barely shifted percentage in ANY of its matches. Once it hits a percentage, it just...stays there. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

stronger. Kirby is going to get weaker from all the stompin'. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/13/2010 9:48:02 AM | message detail |
Like
Yoblazer, I don't have a fixed ranking for all the characters. Part of
the reason is that I just haven't played very many games to start with,
and I care a lot more about these contests than gaming, so much of my
preferences are based on the contests. Now that I think about it, it
isn't even true that the character I vote for is always the one I want
to win- sometimes I'll vote just to make their percentage higher. --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |

Kirby would be doing good just to outdo Ganondorf --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

From: EternalxCourage | #2307 Indeed. The NA% is not to be relied on too strongly. It's early vote corrupted. It's only an extremely vague guidestick, and not highly unreliable. I'd still be surprised if Sonic finished with 55%. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Even
after the gains he's making right now? He's smashing Kirby on the curb.
If he posts another big update I'll still be confident in 58%. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

From: EternalxCourage | #481 Sonic hasn't even had a 58% update yet. In fact, in his last four updates, his best percentage was 56.38%, and the other three have been a decent bit less than that. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

I'd still be surprised if Sonic finished with 55%. 55% is kind of lowballing it.

creativename | Posted 3/13/2010 9:53:11 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #2353 But if someone is totally neutral across all time periods, then their opponents trends will determine the trend. There's no such thing as a power to neutralize your opponent's trends, unless you have the same trend yourself. Zard having the same trends as Block hardly gives on confidence in his ASV (weekend afternoon vote) for a match against Bowser. Still think Zard is 50/50 though. I think he and Bowser are pretty much at the same level of strength. Although if one of them is to win going away with 53+%, then that will be Bowser. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: EternalxCourage | #478 I didn't even notice the match began until a little bit ago, so I was catching up =p But yeah, some weird circumstances (Nintendo SFF, bandwagons, Shadow being crap, 4ways, a fluke Cecil boost) contributed to a legitimate Sonic Team angst. There was good reason to pick the Kirby upset here, but it was still an upset. But Ganon made NO sense to me. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.· http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

From: creativename | #2360 Meant to say "and highly unreliable". As obviously being evidenced by Sonic's big gains right now.

Why
not? His last update was 56.7 percent? If he continues to just get
