From: IngmarBirdman | #248 Kinda, yeah, but it's also Dante and Squall having terrible early votes. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I realise Europe is only just waking up, but 67-33 is something else. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Man out of all the upsets to happen we get THIS? Ugh. --- Xbox Live Gamertag: ffmasterjose Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper |
I
guess after I readjusted them (I ended up readjusting them because I
originally forgot to adjust Knuckles), I just put Kratos back to where
he was before. But you can use insert that value for Kratos in if you want to. The only real difference between the two sets of stats should be Knuckles and Kratos, but I haven't examined them thoroughly for any other inconsistencies. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Squall
is really gonna have to boogie over night though. I can see Sora
turning around anything in the ~500 range with his day vote. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Dante turned like 500 votes at night, and he was more behind than Squall and is relatively weaker in Europe. Squall should easily get an insurmountable lead overnight. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Oh right, yesterday's chart: Time | Cloudoth | Solquid | Votes | Demographic EBV | 55.14% | 44.86% | 613 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 59.21% | 40.79% | 5161 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 61.66% | 38.34% | 12182 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 62.61% | 37.39% | 5676 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 62.81% | 37.19% | 15597 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 62.40% | 37.60% | 16744 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 62.76% | 37.24% | 3295 | (22:00-24:00) Cloud/Sephy are pretty consistent throughout after that first hour. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Squall will rock overnight, and likely hover/gain well into the day. That ASV scares me though. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Squall
should gain pretty consistently until the ASV once we hit the
Euro-vote. KH doesn't really kick it into high gear until the ASV. Their
morning vote isn't really that great. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Also BOLD PREDICTION cause I haven't done one in a while: PHV is the only voting block Sora wins when Leon brings the CHART out tomorrow. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
It depends on what percentage Squall averages until then. If Squall averages 55% until we hit the ASV or something, then yeah, Sora probably doesn't win the ASV outright. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
I'm just saying Sora's going to underwhelm with the day vote since he's not the king Need Master Chief vs Alien Scum in this bracket to show who the real king is. That's why this contest is so bad, just so you know. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I still remember your claims of EVEN 10,000 VOTES IS NOT TOO MUCH FOR HALO in the Series Contest against Castlevania Good times --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Whoa, I didn't realize until now that Master Chief didn't make the bracket. How is that possible? He always gets high seeds. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: red sox 777 | #266 He doesn't have an individual rivalry. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Also, as long as Board 8 is dominating the nomination process, tough luck, Master Chief. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
From: LeonhartFour | #1256 OK, I'll take a closer look in the next couple days and use the ones you just gave :) From: ExThaNemesis | #1257 He'll definitely do great overnight. Sora sucks overnight. And Squall should have a mild DSV edge. But the ASV and first part of the SNV will be ugly. Here's the 15 minute trend charts from 2K8 for their matches: www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/show_graph.php?matchnum=3286&type=2&seconds=900&max=0 www.gamefaqscontests.com/images/show_graph.php?matchnum=3297&type=2&seconds=900&max=0 --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LMAO! Of all the matches that could have actually been shocking... it's this. This makes Dante look pretty damn good, which is cool. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |
This
is probably the first match where we are really unsure about how things
will turn out. Every other match that was close early, we knew the
trends too well to really be unsure who'd win. But this match is up in the air still. Sure took long enough! From: Lopen | #1304 Think Pokemon (depending on the Pokemon) or Kingdom Hearts would probably be the ASV king ahead of Halo. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Just looking at those charts, Squall should just eek it out, but this one's going to be close. Great, a close match that I couldn't be more ambivalent about. Hate all four of these characters. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
From: LeonhartFour | #267 Yeah this pretty much. I nominate Chief every year but I couldn't really think of anything worth nominating him for. I totally could've got him in though if I wanted. I got Sol/Ky in! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Smash Bros. could still compete for ASV King, really. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Projections: Based on Squall/Sora 2008 R3, Sora/Riku win with 52.19%. Based on Squall/Sora 2008 R2, Sora/Riku win with 52.13%. Those don't look good for Squall. Better hope the ASV's power has gone way down in the last 3 years. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Don't know if anyone noticed, but Trainers/Fighters ended up beating Cloud/Snake in votals. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: KamikazePotato | #276 Trainers to win the contest confirmed. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Sora/Riku have been consistently entertaining this contest. Hitler match had fun trends followed by two close matches. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Decent cut right there. Next update or two they might take over. --- - |
well that was an update --- Moltar Status: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/61219380 Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Wow, big cut there. Squall may take the lead by the end of the hour --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Who would have guessed Sora would have the most interesting matches this contest. He's giving us 2 close matches in a row. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Good night, hopefully Squall will built a massive lead when I wake up. I probably favor Sora right now though. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
I'm still worried about the day vote going for Sora. --- http://i56.tinypic.com/25stpxf.gif http://www.glogster.com/media/1/2/42/74/2427453.jpg |
And Squall takes the lead. --- - |

Oh lordy. The night vote is going to be really ugly for the KH guys. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |

My bracket says Squall, but my heart says Sora. I'm so conflicted. --- You feel better but not much. |
If not all of this is rivalry factor or Seifer being awful, you know who looks really good as a result? Bowser. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

They are still in school this week. Next week is when high schools start to get off for Christmas vacation. Well then I must pray for the night to be merciful and the kiddies to shine during the day. Oh great and powerful KH ASV, do not fail me now...not when my bracket is on the leaderboard. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
This isn't looking good for Squall. I skimmed through the pages, but has anyone pointed out that a good chunk of people would know Squall from KH but not Seifer? There could be enough KH fans out there who prefer Squall to Sora solely on the basis of KH but not the idea of "Squall and Rando" vs "Sora v. Riku." Sora is pretty intolerable as a character, but his rivalry with Riku is actually compelling. --- One of the most troublesome things in life is that what you do or do not want has little to do with what does or does not happen. 4983-4640-3352 Brawl Code |
Ugh,
Sora takes the lead again. It's not looking good for Squall. He'll grab
a somewhat decent lead during the night, sure, but not enough to clinch
victory over the KH ASV. Oh well. Goodbye, perfect battle bracket. You will be missed. --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
The idea that Seifer limiting Squall's appeal to FFVIII alone has been thrown around. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
I already forgot Seifer was in KH2 literally undeniable proof that he was totally owning those lamers --- http://img.imgcake.com/superangelo128/Higurashipicjpgaz.jpg |
I dont understand the whole theory that Squall gets votes from Kingdom Hearts. Squall isn't even called Squall, its "Leon," unless there is like one scene or something. Unless people knew who Squall was before playing Kingdom Hearts, there would be no way to associate the KH "Leon" character with the Squall in the pole. |
I've
never played FFVIII, and KH introduced me to Squall. I like him because
of that series, not even his own game. I'm sure there are others like
me and you can very reasonably assume that the average KH fan who
frequents a site like this one knows that Squall Leonhart and "Leon" are
one and the same. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
It doesn't really matter if you understand it or not! There's pretty substantial evidence out there that it does help him. Plus, people do read the indexes and stuff, where Leon's bio says that he's Squall Leonhart from FFVIII. And the fact that he's the coolest FF character in the series helps him out quite a bit. I've also heard people say that they didn't like him in FFVIII, but they like him in KH. All sorts of explanations can exist for why KH helps him, but it's hard to say that it doesn't. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

What? lol w/e, Sora and Riku are the main characters anyways so it doesn't matter *votes Sora/Riku*" It's Kingdom Hearts fanboys we're talking about here. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
