Groose had 51% at the freeze and ended with 24%?Are you sure this is correct? --- 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~ |
Well,
the freeze happened barely after a minute. On the second update, he was
down to 37.50%, which is still a huge drop, but it's not quite as funny
as Groose losing half of his percentage from the freeze. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
The freeze happened before the 1 minute mark. I think it happened around 45 seconds into the match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
G&W and Lee tied during that last hour, for the record. First tied hour of the contest, I believe. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Here's
an interesting stat for you guys. Including today's match (assuming
G&W wins), the oldest character in the match has won 32 times.
Middle character has won 12 times, and the newest character has won 8
times. "Newest Characters" who've won: Shepard Draven Phoenix Ness Elizabeth Ike Zidane Sora |
I saw Ness and was like wut, then I remembered who the competition was. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Was Earthbound released after FFVI? Huh, so it was. For some reason, I thought FFVI was slightly younger than it was. --- "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!" |
man, I just realized next round might have G&W and Fox in the same poll. that is going to be brutal. even discounting Smash SFF, it's a black man against a dog --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
I'm
wondering what are the chances of a MineCraft rally helping Steve make
it through the first couple of rounds are. Nathan and Pac-Man aren't
brutes in these contests, and we're gonna see GAW and Fox/Blue share the
nintendo vote in Round 2. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
G&W's lead has barely budged in the past 2.5 hours. These day matches, man. Bring on Drake-Man --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Wow, over 5 hours where the lead has just been fluctuating within an 80-vote window. If this was a night match it would have been FIERCE. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |

Match LIII: (4) Nathan Drake vs. (15) Steve vs. (24) Pac-Man Previous Contest Nathan Drake 2010 47.63% against The Boss Steve N/A N/A Pac-Man 2008 25.09% against Mewtwo, Ness and Travis Touchdown 13.44% against Cloud Strife, Mewtwo and Midna Analysis Looking at this match Nathan Drake should win, but at the same time I cannot bring myself to take him over Pac-Man. This type of match is almost tailor made for Pac-Man as he is as far from nostalgic characters as he could be. As much as we laugh that Nathan lost to CATS then to The Boss after his big game Pac-Man is not that much stronger than The Boss. Nathan Drake does have Uncharted 3 to work with and while it will not give him the type of boost Uncharted 2 gave him he does not need much to finish first. What makes me doubt Nathan is the way guys like him have been performing in this contest. Characters that look like regular dudes with regular names have not been performing well. I can see Nathan being an exception of the rule because Uncharted is a big series, but you still have to be vigilant about that. Steve is a bit of a wild card. Minecraft is one of the most played games, but it is not one of the type of games GameFAQs users play. Just looking at the playing rate of the game, it is abysmal for a game that is played so much. We have seen it happen to World of Warcraft and would have seen it for League of Legends had there been no rally. The only way I see Steve performing well is if he gets a rally, which is possible, but I do not see happening. Like I said Nathan Drake should win the match, but I am going to back Pac-Man, for whatever reason something feels right by going with Pac-Man over Nathan. Of course feeling right has burned me multiple times throughout history, but this is a match I do not mind losing a point in. charmander6000s Bracket: Pac-Man > Nathan Drake and Steve charmander6000s Prediction: Pac-Man 42.44%, Nathan Drake 37.88%, Steve 19.68% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 43/50 Today's Picks: Groose and Lee Everett |
Hey look it's that night vote Karma Hunter was convinced G&W couldn't possibly have...! (Yes, I know. This night vote doesn't have the same demographics as the dead of night Euro vote) --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
Wait, people would pick Pac-Man > Boss? Hrm. I guess people have more faith in apathy voting than I do. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
After stalling for 5 hours, MGW suddenly starts gaining again, with a night vote no less. Man, this division, I don't even... |
Trends
for this match make no sense at all. I guess the explanation is that
the Power Hour type vote was spread throughout the opening few hours of
the poll, meaning G&W had an overall edge despite EUROPE being
stronger at the time? Then EUROPE and the "power hour" dissipated in
parallel, or something? I don't know. Dumb. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Not
only is this a summer holiday match, but it's a weekend summer holiday
match. The neat trend periods aren't as likely to apply. --- 'We will see a similar beam of particles coming out of the soil on the other side of the planet. Then we will know there is a little quasar inside the planet. |
Man, I didn't realize how huge of a boost Drake got from UC2. Going from getting doubled by CATS to almost even with The Boss. If UC3 gives him even a small boost this will be a very close match. The main fear I think is that Drake has dropped, but if HM is right about UC3's reception then a drop seems unlikely. Pac-Man is very close to The Boss level so it is a hard to call match anyway. UC3's influence is a wild card, but if Drake has gotten any noteworthy boost he should edge Pac-Man out. Lopen posted... Trends for this match make no sense at all. I guess the explanation is that the Power Hour type vote was spread throughout the opening few hours of the poll, meaning G&W had an overall edge despite EUROPE being stronger at the time? Then EUROPE and the "power hour" dissipated in parallel, or something? Lee is winning UK and Denmark, that means that since Europe has been going to bed G&W is gaining as one would expect. The SNV is not like the first night vote, the first night vote is about Europe, the SNV is about North America. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I
dunno. I feel like we've retroactively made Pac-Man out to be better
than he really is because he scored an upset on Ocelot and (tell me when
you've heard this one before) Ness got SFF'd to death and let him
advance. Dude lost to Lettuce Kefka once upon a time. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Is
a 10 year old poll against Kefka of all characters really worth
anything today? Well, I guess if there's anyone that's stayed constant
since then it would be Pac-man. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
I'm
just saying, people are holding up Pac-Man like you have to be
something special to beat him. He lost to one of the ugliest things this
contest has ever seen. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Typing
that out has also made me realized that I'm trying to use an 8 year old
poll that involves Ocelot to try and justify a Pac-man victory. That
poll also really shouldn't mean much today. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
Yeah, Pac-Man hasn't been in a contest match since 2008. Well, unless you count this. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3692 And I don't think it's a particularly flattering result for him! Pac-Man's one of those guys who's going to do worse the more options you give other people to pick. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
that
means that since Europe has been going to bed G&W is gaining as one
would expect. The SNV is not like the first night vote, the first night
vote is about Europe, the SNV is about North America. Europe has been going to bed since like 5 hours ago, man. G&W should've been pushing before this if the trends made sense. Protoman/Ike is a better example of the American favorite plays vs the European vote and Protoman was winning America by much less than G&W. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I guess I'm bailing on Pac-man. Hopefully this works out. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
I'm still waffling between the two. Hopefully this works out! |
Four straight cuts by Lee. Look out! --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |

dat Steve board vote --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
Nathan Drake 42.86% 21 Votes Steve 14.29% 7 Votes Pac-Man 42.86% 21 Votes Your Pick Woah, dead even out of the gate. |
Not sure if going 50/50 early is bad for Drake or Pac-Man. Probably Drake because of BRACKETS But he SHOULD get the night vote either way --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
2 minute freeze today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Damn freeze. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
RacistFAQS just won't let up --- F*** BT |
and the freeze will next update feature Groose-like hilarity? |
Drake is going to tear into Pac-Man if the spheroid can't pull it together! --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
I am dreading seeing Drake pull out a large lead at next update but for some reason that's how I think it's going to go. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I'm pretty confident about Drake. I expected Pac-Man to be stronger by this point, for whatever reason. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
Come on Sakurai, announce Pac-Man for SSB4! --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
At the very least I'm glad to see Drake/Pac was so close that one could have picked one anyway. --- In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment. |
Whoa, only 26.40% had G&W --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
We have a match! --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Wakka Wakka! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
We have a match! --- POKEFEAR |
.....STALL? --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
