GameFAQs Contests

Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 891

I should point out that because DST hasn't taken place in Europe yet it's only 10:30 in the morning here. The continent is at 11:30. When you factor in that its a Saturday morning most people interested in this poll won't be getting up till at least 9, most later. Anyway, let's see how much of a lead Cloud can stack together.

100 vote barrier broken. Come on Cloud...

Counting fourways, it's Link, Mario, Snake, L-Block... and I think that's it.

Just Link and Mario otherwise.

If you're worried people are talking about you... you're probably right.

Against Chris, Cloud from hours 1-5 was pretty consistent, getting slightly better 5-6 and better again 6-7. The best time was 7:30-9:30. So I'd say the the morning vote will start around 9:30. Though with NA adjusted for DST and most places outside of NA not, it could be a bit off. And obviously Snake's trends aren't going to match Chris's exactly. But I think 7:30-9:30 being best for Cloud and then having a dropoff is a decent estimate.

I'd really really hope Snake could muster together a better day vote than a Resident Evil character. We could still see a dropoff, but I'd chalk that up more to his initial frontloaded lead and the potential for the "rallies" to die off.

Forgot to mention, Cloud/Chris was on a Saturday, so that's why I'm comparing it. This match already looks nothing like Samus/Cloud, but does look sort of similar to Chris's match.

Snaaaaaaake!

I wonder if Snake being the second option in the poll instead of the first like last time makes any difference. Maybe 0.4% of the population are robots (Autobots?) who only click on the first option.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. If Cloud starts gaining more for the next few hours, that wouldn't be the start of the day vote yet. And despite what you might say about Resident Evil day vote, Chris did better from 9:30 on than just before then, so i'd certainly expect Snake to as well (again, possibly adjusted due to DST).

Snake is stalling at least, but this feels like fighting the tide. =/

200 vote barrier breached. Snake needs the day vote to favor him pretty decisively here. As bad as it's been so far, this is nothing compared to what Cloud's going to do to him during the SNV.

200 votes gone. Looking like delayed FF7 domination indeed and the Snake ralliers have given up.

Hopefully this is just a trend for a few hours and won't be sustained. I'd love for this to be a good finish. I'd prefer Snake to win but just to see a HUGE match come down to the wire like in the old days of 2002 would be fantastic.

Woah, vote totals are crazy too. Currently 7000 ahead of Mario/Link. This may as well just be the final as the match against Link is just a formality.
