Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1032
From: XIII_rocks | #098 hahaha I don't think I could muster up the interest, tbqh. Though that would be a great tag team name. I don't think that's going to last past today though. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |

Yesterday's chart: Time | Red/Blue | Ryu/Ken | Votes | Demographic EBV | 64.83% | 35.17% | 870 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 63.47% | 36.53% | 5754 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 59.47% | 40.53% | 11283 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 58.63% | 41.37% | 6423 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 58.57% | 41.43% | 13871 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 61.09% | 38.91% | 18046 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 59.20% | 40.80% | 3466 | (22:00-24:00) Not much different than what we expected to happen here, trend-wise. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Nice update to finish the hour for the Bosses. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
-Tofa7- posted... I've got the feeling the casuals who are still perfect in the battle challenge are visiting board 8 each day to find out who the favorite is. This is just getting ridiculous. I hope there's an upset and 99% of you get wiped. Since I feel like this statement is directed at people like me, as a lurker for the past ~4 years, I feel like its more just a reflection on how easy this contest has to pick so far. The only match so far where Board 8's opinion caused me to change was on taking Bosses>Tidus/Jecht in Round 1 and 2, and I highly doubt only casuals are guilty of changing one pick because of someone else's opinion. |
From: ExThaNemesis | #101 Butbut I would be able to ride on your coat-tails to, like, a million-year tag-team reign. it would be amazing. --- http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/7351/xiiirocks.jpg |
Already a cut at this time, not going to look too good for Samus later. |
Well, there's the first Boss cut. There will be a lot more of those later tonight. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
With
how much the Bosses are destroying in Europe and Asia, I wouldnt be
surprised if they cut a couple hundred votes off the lead in the dead
hours --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
47 tennisboy213 132600 132600 Yessss I finally made the leaderboard :) --- Red vs. Blue what is even special about this. -ZFS here's a guy that doesn't get it! No desire to be the very best! -SHINE GET 64 |
Well done, bro. It's so satisfying. I think the fact that I've just sneaked in at #50 makes it even better. --- Oops! I'm breaking the fourth wall! http://imgon.net/di-CFMD.gif |
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Got up to #27 before Ryu/Ken betrayed me. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
23 HyperSage 75 Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth 37 Cartyx 74 Link vs. Ganondorf Hmm, two alts of mine on the bracket leaderboard. Now if only I didn't make both accounts have Red/Blue lose to Samus/Ridley >_>..... Then there's this: 15 HyperSage 132600 132600 On the battle leaderboard....but too bad that I banked with that account on this match <_<.... --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Cartyx.png |
I got burned on Donkey Kong refusing to choke, the Trainers serving as the proxy for RBY's strength, and KINGDOM HEAAAAARTS! No gift card for me. =P Seriously, though, those boys could very well pull off the win against Samus. They've got momentum. |
Bosses have done a pretty effective job of stalling for the last half hour. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
LoD and Golden Sun both outsold Chrono Trigger, SNES and DS versions combined? I wasn't considering remakes or re-releases to count as the same game, but in U.S. sales, yes, they did. Legend of Dragoon: 960,000 Golden Sun: 860,000 Chrono Trigger (SNES): 280,000 Chrono Trigger (DS): 449,453 I can't find sales data on Final Fantasy Chronicles, though if those sales were considered CT would probably at least beat Golden Sun. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
God damn samus sux. she definitely has gotten weaker. trainers gonna go all oug --- http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/31/f53sle_2.gif brawl 3524 9730 2525 - LALA |
This is a ridiculous drop considering Europe Prime Time isn't even here yet. Samus a joke character confirmed. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The early vote for Samus/Trainers should be interesting considering how ridiculously frontloaded both of them are. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Ha, if the Bosses somehow cut 29 votes on the next update, they would win this hour. Not likely, but it's kind of funny that they're already on the verge of winning hours and we haven't even hit the heart of the Euro vote yet. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
So 3s a trend right? Comeback time? --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
If
the lead were like half this and the vote totals weren't so atrocious,
I'd give the Bosses a chance at taking the lead at some point. Heck, I might give them an outside shot at winning in that case. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
Samus has been averaging under 52% since the end of the Power Hour. This will basically end up being X/Zero vs. Sub-Zero/Scorpion part 2 where the Bosses pretty much make Samus look terrible but they never seriously threaten to win. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
As long as Frog can make it an interesting match, I really won't mind if my bracket and battle challenge both die. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
Bosses win that hour by 17 votes. -edit- 50 votes cut the last 20 minutes, too. I really wish this match was closer to begin with or we might have something to get excited over here. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Is
there any chance the Bosses get the day vote or are they really night
based? I know Samus doesn't have the day vote of most Nintendo
characters. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
They're night based and Samus is weak at night. Still probably stays under 2k votes for the whole match. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Wow I did not expect this much of a fall from the power hour. I think Samus is about a week away from getting 65-35'd. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Samus had 58.29% at the freeze... it's now 53/47 and falling. For characters with non-joke trends that's quite something. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
I
didn't expect Samus to be more frontloaded than the Pokemon Trainers.
She's going to end up falling more percentage points (maybe 2% more)
while starting from a lower percentage. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
You
know, I never really quite knew about what the freeze is. I know most
of the contest terminology, but that one's not even explained on the
wiki. --- SomeC - sheer explosives since meeting that crazy hobo. BlAcK TuRtLe grabbed the Guru victory, slow but steady. |
For
the first five minutes of the poll, the totals are constantly updated.
After that, they only update in five minute intervals. That first
stoppage is the freeze. --- You saved science! Call me numbers. |
It's the percentage at the end of the first five minutes, or the first time the vote updates "freeze." --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
For
the first five minutes of each poll, there's live updates - if you sit
on the poll results page and F5 you will see the votes come in as
they're made. Then it "freezes" and only displays updates every five
minutes. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Wow
Samus is still at almost 56% in North America... Was getting slightly
hopeful since the Bosses still have like 4 hours of night vote but
that's just too high in NA. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
And people say we're elitist jerks when someone asks a question lol --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I see. I thought it would be like the period of time too late for the day but too early for the night or something. --- SomeC - sheer explosives since meeting that crazy hobo. BlAcK TuRtLe grabbed the Guru victory, slow but steady. |
this'll be another X/Zero // Sub/Scorp match where it ends up way closer than it actually was. --- xyzzy |
I
didn't expected this match to be that close.Also only 12 perfects
remain?Man.Plus it seems the casuals beat the pros!I mean
Trainers/Fighters match was the worst,33 people fell of the
leaderboard!And there was a guy there called Safer_777?That reminds me
of something... --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
#30 on the list! Awww yeah, hoping for Alucard/Drac and Red/Blue victories to really rake in! --- http://www.facebook.com/zerosignal The photograph reflects, every streetlight a reminder; nightswimming deserves a quiet night |
Holy wasn't expecting this close a match. Samus is gonna rebound right? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Can
we give chris/wesker respect here? Because people kept saying bosses
flopped last round when i think chris wesker are decent. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
Also if you guys wanted bosses to win why submit other m pics were samus is terrified of ridley --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
I
don't know how much of this is the Bosses being strong compared to
Samus being weak though. I thought it was Terra/Kefka becoming legit
last round, but 53% on the bosses is an entirely different beast, maybe
Samus is becoming much weaker than she used to be, because I don't
believe you can throw all the blame on Ridley, he's no Waluigi. --- This is a signature. |
I blame Naked Snake --- Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop |
From: SuorGenoveffa | #144 #Again it's not an individual character contest Samus on her own >>>> Samus/Ridley. Also her being individually weaker isn't surprising..did people forget a game that came out that literally put Metroid down to Sonic level of embarrassment? That game left a bad taste if fans mouths. I wouldn't surprised if she is individual weaker next year. People said the biggest contribution to Cloud>ink in 03 was Toon link. Now can you imagine Samus vs someone like MEgaman a character she would beat handily...but it's a teenage pic of her with short hair with thumbs down from Other M. I'd put everything on MM winning that match. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
I
know Other M wasn't very well received, but I didn't think it could
have that much impact. Samus might be >>> Samus/Ridley, but
this big gap between Samley and 2010 Samus, I can't believe it's all
Other M and Ridley being an anchor. --- This is a signature. |
Don't
panic about this for Samus as an individual. Naked Snake Big Boss put
37% on Mario in a night match last character battle. Ridley might lose
to The Boss straight-up, and then RIVALRY FACTOR. Leon isn't losing to
Donkey Kong any time soon, but Ada Wong certainly made it look that way,
and she probably actually beats K. Rool straight-up. If Wolf can drag
down Fox, and Meta-Knight can drag down Kirby, Ridley can drag down
Samus. This is the same guy who got 57-43ed by Diablo. Samus is established enough to not be hurt by a bad game, at least not enough to fall any further than being in the #3-6 overall range, where she was anyways. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
From: SuorGenoveffa | #147 And the rivalry factor. IT's not that great of a rivlary really. Also we know metroid on this site isn't anywhere near as strong as a franchise asn Samus character. Samus gets strength from a lot of aspects. - Smash Bros - Only legit female Nintendo character - Her respectable Game series - Badass image. When you combine these factors it's not surprising to see Samley struggle. Samus/Ridley isn't going to get the same votals as Samus the character. And when she had "bad" pics she turned to crap...i mean Tifa almost beat her in the female contest. If she has an "other M" pic, her strength would go down a lot, To say other M wasn't received well is an understatement. A chunk of the metroid fanbase hate the game with passion. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
Samus
getting the morning vote here? She's already gained half a percent
from her low point. These trends aren't normal for Samus, as she not
good with the morning vote or ASV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
