Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1019
This
match has a...pretty pathetic lead. It's anyone's game if only because
of how low the votals are and how effective rallying would be. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |

looking through Round 2. Dante v Sora looks like literally the only
match with even a tiny chance of an upset, did I miss anything? Frog/Magus didn't look too good and may have troubles with Chell/Glados. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: Guess how many teens | #445 I very much doubt that (assuming Nightmare holds). The perfect battlers are kind of a hivemind. It'll probably be one shocking match that kills everyone or a painful war of attrition whittling down a few brackets at a time. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Ramza had a major spike the last couple updates against Hogger. if its close at the end, he'll win it. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: __Smurf__ | Posted: 11/17/2011 12:14:26 PM | #453 I suspect someone who bet on Ramza just might go out of his way to rally for him, or something. But you are probably right. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |

Just
looking through Round 2. Dante v Sora looks like literally the only
match with even a tiny chance of an upset, did I miss anything? I'm confident about each match in R2 except for Frog/Magus vs Glados/Chell, which should be a pretty easy win for Frog/Magus anyway >_>. Unless Hitler upsets tomorrow no banking until R3 imvho. --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue Play Earthbound. |
I'm pretty worried about Kirby/Sonic. I know a lot of you guys feel safe with Sonic but I sure don't. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Talking about 2nd night vote, though... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4539®ion=EUR Ramza should cut through the lead like butter at that point with the Euros are in bed --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
I usually hate joke characters but this contest could really do with Hitler causing some waves tomorrow. The contest needs something to make it interesting, anything. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
I
very much doubt that (assuming Nightmare holds). The perfect battlers
are kind of a hivemind. It'll probably be one shocking match that kills
everyone or a painful war of attrition whittling down a few brackets at a
time. you could be right about that, but I figured there would be some crazies out there that thought this was a decent time to bank, and at least 30 brackets that support Ramza; I thought like 20 would go down on Crash/Pacman though so I'm prolly totally wrong :). --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue Play Earthbound. |

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #468 People say it every year about Sonic. I can't remember a single contest where someone wasn't fully expecting a massive upset against him and barring 4-ways it never happened. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
I dunno. I am also pretty scared of Hitler! I hadn't realized how big the picture could be. combine that with low vote totals and yikes. if Hitler wins round 1, he's going far. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Ramza's
gonna win this ****! Otherwise I'm out of the guru. At least I'd be
going out with some great people. But loosing to Cookie? No way. --- Presenting a great man. The one and only of his kind. Dudes and dudettes, it's an honor to give you... CTES... umm... well... oh whatever. |
I'm
not scared of Hitler, because if there's any character that's going to
get antivoted to hell and back...that's Hitler. Because it's Hitler. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |
Kirby's domination in the 2008 contest is probably the reason that people still worry. --- Presenting a great man. The one and only of his kind. Dudes and dudettes, it's an honor to give you... CTES... umm... well... oh whatever. |
2008
was Sonic's terrible, indefensible low point. Apart from that year,
he's actually been pretty clutch. He's had close loses to Samus and Mega
Man in 2002/2005, but those are Noble 9ers, and the matches themselves
were awesome. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
There's
just a part of me that would be kinda shocked if Hitler could manage
50% of the votes on this (or most) websites in a popularity poll, even
with jokes, rallies, etc. Also, I'm in the same boat as tranny. I'd feel really bad about Siegfried/Nightmare holding on during a night match, but SC is usually pretty day friendly and FF isn't. I think they should be fine. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
Wasn't there an awesome match pic for Ramza floating around this topic? Real shame it wasn't used. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I
think Ramza is done here. I felt that he needed to keep it under 200 in
the first hour, which should be one of his worst times to win... but
it'll look like it'll blow past it now. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Which has the better ASV? FFT or Soul Calibur? --- The Gamer In Me His dark secret is he's really Spark Brushel in disguise. If people knew, he'd be ruined. - Spiral on the black psyche locks |
paulg235 posted... Which has the better ASV? FFT or Soul Calibur? You'd think SC, but... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4539®ion=US Its really close in America, and Crono ended up hanging tight in the ASV yesterday after doing much better in the US vote before the ASV. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Soul
Calibur should have the better ASV. I don't really trust anything
related to Final Fantasy to win the ASV. There is also this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4539®ion=US However, I expect that percentage to increase when the ASV comes along. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I
think Soul Calibur, but I'm not a stats wizard. I'm just guessing based
on the fact that Soul Calibur still gets games released every once in a
while while FFT...doesn't. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |
From: paulg235 | #481 Definitely SoulCalibur. Nightmare's ASV was actually pretty good in his two contest appearances. FFT, like everything else in the series, has a bad ASV. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
I don't think ASV matters much anymore, anyway. IIRC under 20% of the site even is school age at this point. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: FateStayAlbion | #482 How many times do we need to say that how a character is doing now has no bearing on how a character will do during the ASV? And Crono was facing MGS during the ASV. That's not exactly a day vote king either. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |

Feels
kind of strange saying I'm feeling good about a lead of less than 200
thirty minutes in, but that's where we are right now. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

SNV
is a different vote-block from the FNV (which is where Europe/Asia are
important). It's during the middle of the night in Europe. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |

You do realize what the 2nd night vote is, and why stuff like CT does so well during it even though it wasn't released in Europe? 9-12 PM EST is like 2 am to 5 am in Europe. It basically kills off any Europe advantage the other character has. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
The current margin is probably too large. It takes a lot to turn around 54-46 (like Ramza would need to win the ASV and SNV). --- 90s games > 00s games |
There's
2 components to the night vote: day/night trends and geographical
trends. Day/night trends mean that people who vote at night in the same
place are more likely to vote for Crono or other night characters.
This has always been a bigger effect than geographical trends. --- 90s games > 00s games |

It's during the middle of the night in Europe. Asia/Oceania are important during the SNV (going by the continent poll trends), but it's definitely North America that dominates the SNV. Chrono Trigger and its characters get a good SNV thanks to it being strong in North America (and Asia as well), and Europe sleeping through the SNV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
red sox 777 posted... The current margin is probably too large. It takes a lot to turn around 54-46 (like Ramza would need to win the ASV and SNV). Yeah, this match is over. I hope Ramza can at least get it to like 46 or 47% to help my oracle at this point! --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
