Beginning to wish I would have kept Blue over Fox and Wolf, especially if he stands out as much as Waluigi.

Oh crap.

Fox better win that one...


I still hope Blue pulls it off, even if he destroys my bracket in the process.

Somebody needs to keep track of hourly vote totals for the sake of the updater until creative gets it up and running again.

Also for the sake of my trend charts because I won't be staying up for all 12 hours.

Does this match say anything to the idea that joke characters might blast through some opposition this year? (Sandbag, Lblock, Creeper, Missingno?)

Or is it solely Link anti voting propganda...etc?


I'm starting to wish I had the guts for Magikarp > MM. Magikarp could absolutely be stronger than Missingno.

Lost in all that Tingle comeback hype is that Link dropped nearly 1% with that update

I'm tracking updates myself. I missed the first 25 minutes of updates due to a mistake with my poll tracking script. 12:30 AM is the first update I have tracked, although I do have the 12:05 AM update because it was posted in this topic.

I picked Fox to win two rounds. I guess that's not too awful. Not like I put him in the finals...

If I remember right Tingle gained one vote on Isaac. I believe he went from being down 76 to down 75.

So, yes, but not a significant one.

A cut means when a character is losing gains votes on the character ahead of him.

A cut is when the vote lead goes down. We don't use percent because you can lose percent, but still extend your lead.

It's the actual vote total difference between the two characters decreasing not percentage

Not exactly, it is something like, let's say Link vs Cloud. In the first update Link got 53 votes and Cloud got 47. But in the next update, Cloud got 55 and Link got 45. So that's a cut supposedly.

And we're still going to have about 5800 votes at the end of the first hour, which is enough to break 30000 votes in the first match of the contest.

It was expected, hopefully we at least hit 25k or else fodder night matches are going to have terrible vote totals.

Sort of surprised to see Isaac and Tingle together are giving Link a hard time to keep up 70~71%.

#192 | LeonhartFour | Posted 7/8/2013 10:02:17 PM | message detail
Tingle's percentage has stayed pretty consistent so far. Nearly all of Link's percentage gain since the freeze has been at Isaac's expense.

Link currently has 83.74% against Tingle

If there was no SFF I would believe that (I'd assume it would be a 85/15 match).

Not exactly, it is something like, let's say Link vs Cloud. In the first update Link got 53 votes and Cloud got 47. But in the next update, Cloud got 55 and Link got 45. So that's a cut supposedly.

That would actually be a lead change. >_>

Examples:

Let's say Link has 1000 votes and Cloud has 900. So what we're looking at is:

Link - 52.63%
Cloud - 47.37%

Next update comes in and Link gets 90 votes and Cloud gets 100. This is a cut of 10 because Link's lead, which was 100 votes before, has fallen to 90 (1090 for Link and 1000 for Cloud.) Additionally, Link's percentage has gone down but that's only natural. For the record it now looks like this:

Link - 52.15%
Cloud - 47.85%

Now let's reset that and go back to the original 1000/900 split. Let's instead say the update comes in and Link got 100 votes and Cloud got 95 votes. Here's what the % looks like now:

Link - 52.51%
Cloud - 47.49%

Here Link's % went down (52.63% to 52.51%) but he actually leads by more actual votes than before (100 to 105) so this update Link gained by 5 despite the percentage gap closing.

No. Isaac's lead went up by 1 at 12:51. It stayed at 76 at 12:56. I think. We'll have to check Luster's data later. But I'm pretty sure it was a stall.
#198 | CrushDavis | Posted 7/8/2013 10:07:04 PM | message detail
Isaac gained 5 there. Tingle really needed to do more damage during the Power Hour
#199 | IngmarBirdman | Posted 7/8/2013 10:07:16 PM | message detail
N9'ers R1 performances in prior years:

2-way, ~75-80%
4-way, ~50-60%

~70% for 3-way makes sense. Blowouts were the norm during Rivalry Rumble; guess for CB's nothing has changed.
