Same here. Really, I'd be fine with a Pokemon-poll for each generation. The board's going to be Poke-hunting big-time now that the series had such a great year and have proven themselves one-on-one, so let's just get the big-names of each generation out there somehow and decide who's the best from there.

Just saw what happened last night. It actually makes perfect sense that Cloud would win the "early" night vote and then fall with the total domination zone. What happened was, mainland Europe woke up first and favored Cloud heavily. Then the UK woke up, which was Snake's stronghold over there.

Mainland Europe and UK have the same time zone.

The UK uses GMT +0, while mainland Europe uses GMT +1, GMT +2, and GMT +3. Western mainland Europe is mostly GMT +1, Eastern Europe is mostly GMT +2, while western Russia is GMT +3.

When it's 7am in Germany, it's 6am in the UK. I assume they wake up at the same clock time, which would mean mainland Europe would wake up an hour earlier.

It seems that the 53-47 relationship for Cloud/Sephiroth has roughly held after all. Sephiroth would've gotten about 48% on Snake in a 24-hour match, and Cloud won't push 52% here. So Cloud should get 53%-54% on Seph indirectly.

Snake also looks to be at roughly 52% on Samus indirectly, assuming Cloud would've gotten 53.5%-54% on Samus in a 24 hour poll.

And I didn't even notice, but from those numbers Samus vs. Sephiroth looks like it would've been an absolute barnburner.

But with FF7's negative trajectory, Samus should be the favorite next time.

They don't. They just like to see Shepard so strong.

Plus, the fact its a night match is almost as big of a disadvantage to Pikachu as the pic for Snake. I'd say it pretty much offsets. Maybe 57% for Snake in a full 24 hour match with a normal pic.

It suggests Pikachu gets 56.5% on Fox before SFF, or that he's basically on that Bowser/Luigi/Yoshi tier. I think even that might be overrating Pika a smidge, honestly.
