GrapefruitKing | Posted 11/18/2011 5:03:22 PM | message detail | quote Soraku over 64% in the last half-hour now I remember why KH is the king of ASV The ASV has looked like ass this entire contest, but Sora/Riku only has a good ASV because the rallies really lowered their percentage quite a bit before the ASV kicked in. So they had nothing to do but rise all day. They could still reach 60% at this rate. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |

From: LeonhartFour | #401 LOL |
Man, it finally took until now for Sora/Riku to get a 100+ vote gain on Hitler. First update above 70% for them. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Just
out of curiosity, what do we think Sora/Riku's prediction percentage is
here? How many do we think bit on picking Hitler here? --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
78%, I guess zero percentage upsets in round 1, aw yeah. --- xyzzy |
Meta Kirby nice Still think Sonic's got that one comfortably, however. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
I
made Ike, Kirby and X. Allen skipped ahead on me though, the jerk. My
round 2 templates (see the Kirby pic there) are only up to Sonic. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· How can I protect something so perfect without evil? |

TRE Public Account posted... Ack, I go AFK for 45 minutes and Hitler falls apart. I need to put those topics back up asap I think Hitler is pretty much done at this point. He could barely keep up before and isn't going to be able to take out a 1500+ vote lead. It might be more interesting to just let the topics die and see how big a swing Sora will be able to pull rather than just trying to keep this a 55-45 match until the end. Well I left at around 3 PM and just got back now. Holy crap that asv. Kinda amazing how big of a swing they could have with their combined asv powers and no rallies. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Is
Albion still pretending he's able to rally anyone worth a damn? And
then turning around and whining about strahax's trolling while we all
laugh our asses off ironically? lol --- "Ulti has the two things every man in the world wants: money and women." -whatisurnameplz |
Good to see you reverted to trolling again Ulti. --- :> |
At
3:10 PM, today's match reached a maximum of 163 votes ahead of the the
Bosses match after being behind by 263 votes at 12:40 PM. Overall, the
rallies seem to have held on until about 3:30 PM. Now this match is
currently 1308 votes behind the Bosses. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
It
isn't trolling to accuse you of whining whenever a joke character is in
any match. No one in stats topic history embarrassed themselves more
than you did during the Leon/Vault Boy and Snake/Pikachu matches. And
this doesn't even begin to get into how you single-handedly turn every
voter in every save my contest against you by acting like a 10 year-old. Facts =/= trolling, if you don't like your reputation of being a crybaby then stop crying. It's as simple as that, though you have long since proven incapable. Edit: Vault Boy and Pikachu STILL aren't joke characters, lol you --- "I don't give a toss about Starcraft 2." -Yahtzee |

From: vcharon | #418 XDDDDD While you're pretending dictionary.com is a good backup plan after getting completely embarrassed, go look up what irony means. --- No one would want to be friends with an unmoving, unspeaking telephone pole. However, unmoving and unspeaking is exactly what you'd want from a telephone pole. |
Ok can we just stop this. This is dumb. Let's talk about something better. So, how about that Adolf Hitler? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
You're just not worth the time, sorry. --- :> |
This
match is now right on par with Ike's votals and will likely fall behind
soon (this is after it was up by at least a couple thousand early on).
Based on that, I'll pull an estimate out of thin air and assume Hitler
got approximately 2000 rallied votes. If we remove those, that would
give Sora/Riku about 64% right now. That still isn't great (the spread
was 65% and I was hoping for high 60s), but it's a lot better than where
they stand now. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

WarThaNemesis2 posted... Ok can we just stop this. This is dumb. Let's talk about something better. So, how about that Adolf Hitler? It's not often I get the chance to compliment North America's voting, but I will here I guess. I still think that Hitler probably would have won this match if this contest was lulling everyone to sleep. The vote totals are a reflection of people just not caring, and I think that would have to include anyone who helped create the upsets for L-Block or Missingno. --- :> |

From: vcharon | #421 Oh so now you'll pretend to use the ignore feature before whining some more after I call you out on it? Your reputation is well-deserved and correct, not "false". You are a whiner who cries in multiple topics about forum and site contests. You convinced dozens of people who couldn't possibly care less about SMFCCCCCC or whatever it was to vote Marche just to spite you. Every time FFD votes in the NRT, you piss and moan about it for 2 pages and convince pretty much every to vote opposite of you just to spite you. And I'm the one who needs help? lol you If you had any common sense at all, you'd have realized all this and knocked it off years ago. I believe Einstein's definition of insanity applies here. From: vcharon | #418 No I've pretty much been telling you to stop crying for years, and you are incapable of it. Just like this "Ulti isn't worth the time" stuff will be over in 5 minutes, because you clearly have nothing better to do on a Friday night than follow along with whatever I'm doing. And my wife and I just had a pretty amazing night, thanks for asking ~_^ I'm just going to start calling you Tidus, since you manage to cry about things more than even him somehow. Someone call tim Tebow so we can assess if this is a miracle. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· "Ulti is a real bro." -Chrono1219 |

From: YoAriel33 | #422 I'm not sure why not beating the spread matters. In a contest like this, that's a relatively arbitrary number. It's not like there's any X-Stat backing to it. Mid-60s is exactly what Sora/Riku should've been shooting for here. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Oh
yeah, I forgot about all the crying once Yuna lost, because apparently a
different picture magically makes her not lose 60-40. --- No one, not even God, has the right to expose the innocent truths from those who have not sinned. |
64%
on rallyless Hitler puts Sora/Riku a couple steps behind
Sonic/Robotnik, which is right where I'd expect them to be. I mean,
nobody would have debated Sora vs. Dante if people thought Sora/Riku
would give Sonic/Robotnik a close match, right? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |

Heck, all of those pics are good though. Congrats Bacon on picking a good batch.

No one liked your ugly picture Ulti, get over it. --- :> |
From: junk_funk | #431 Really? I think Bartz looks terrible. They're lucky they're not in a debatable match. X/Zero is a great pic. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
From: vcharon | #424 I want to see you condemn European vote. Hitler is still WINNING there despite getting 60/40'd or worse everywhere else. Doesn't that outweigh all the good they express by supporting Final Fantasy? --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: junk_funk | #431 KP came up with it and said I could use it, which is why it looks so good. KP is a Tebow among the common men! --- .·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·. "Holy hell Ulti you are a terror, good lord." -Heroic Mario |

LeonhartFour posted... Really? I think Bartz looks terrible. They're lucky they're not in a debatable match. X/Zero is a great pic. Oh yea. Definitely think that's a good pic. About as good as you can make FFIV characters look honestly. Crystal clear image and good drawings. --- http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544 |
Ulti, you're wrong, KP isn't the Tebow, you are. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
From: LeonhartFour | #428 It's just one gauge for the board's expectations. I think the Oracle average is still going to be a good 4%+ higher than whatever Sora/Riku end up with. It really all depends on how much Hitler was rallied. If he got, say, 3000 rallied votes, then KH actually looks pretty good. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Except
I never placed you on ignore, so your victory is just that you're
wrong. You're still not worth the time to argue with in any serious
manner, which I am not going. You're not worth ignoring either because I
don't use the ignore feature. --- :> |
GODDAMMIT STOP THIS NOW OR I WILL TURN THIS CONTEST AROUND AND WE'LL BE BACK AT THE START OF ROUND ONE! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |

I
suppose it's up to me to just leave the topic for now. God forbid I
make a post and Ulti read it without trying to be an internet tough guy.
Not sure how he's so quick to respond wherever and whenever I post,
with that wife and all that school work. God bless him. --- :> |
From: YoAriel33 | #440 How often have our expectations in this contest been wrong again? We've shown several times that we don't know how to predict this contest aside from just picking the victor! I don't really see any sort of issue with this performance unless you just expected Hitler to be bad fodder. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
I
didn't expect Hitler to get rallied. I thought he'd be put away early
and anyone who would have even considered rallying would have given it
up. I was mistaken, but this isn't the first time I've been off in my
perceptions about what the internet finds HI-LARIOUS. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Well,
even without the rallies, Sora/Riku probably would be getting 62-63%.
That's what they've been averaging for the last 4-5 hours. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
Anyway,
I really wanted to go 2/2 with X/Zero pics, but I can see why mine
wasn't chosen. It looks too similar to their R1 match, but I still want
to post it here. [/hubris] http://oi40.tinypic.com/xc3v35.jpg It's really easy to give these guys cool match pics. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
You
know, if Sora/Riku manage to get up to 60% here by the end, that would
be pretty impressive considering they were at 54.50% 80 minutes into the
match. Quite the increase. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
