So in like 3 updates there is a 100 vote swing?


Pretty close, yeah. Looks like 95 in 3 updates; 103 in 4.

But more impressively, 81 in only two!

#327 | Karma Hunter | Posted 8/28/2013 12:24:07 PM | message detail
Auron's doing fine relative to Ezio... so this looks to be L-Block holding on to a disproportionate amount of votes like it did in 2007 and 2008 to a lesser extent. It's very hard to gauge how much it's holding onto, but it's another sliver of doubt introduced into what should be a gimme for Squall. There's no 'SFF' here, save the 'SFF' between non-joke characters, so Amaterasu's habit of not folding may end up being decisive.

Yeah, I really doubt Amaterasu's that much stronger than Ezio, so if Missingno gets a set amount of votes, that percentage has to come from somewhere.

And it's probably going to come from Ammy.

Samus would win that match anyway. Even when FFVII was at its peak, Tifa couldn't quite pull off that upset, as close as she came.

Neither Auron nor Tifa is going to do jack against Samus. Auron v Tifa for second place is more interesting than seeing how 'respectably' Samus kills Tifa.

But if Auron beats Tifa, it's because he stood out so much against two women!

Auron does have an advantage against Tifa in that he certainly has a lot less in common with Samus. It's unlikely that will be decisive though because the SFF is likely to split one way or another in a big way. We've had only two Square SFF matches where the outcome was probably close enough to change it if you ran it on another day - Vincent/Squall and Auron/Squall (Cloud/Sephiroth obviously turned out to be an outlier, but would have counted if Seph had pulled it off in 2003).

Not that I expect L-Block to ever let him near it, but what kind of lead would Auron need in the final hour to be safe? 300?

I don't really expect a decisive split between Tifa and Auron either because they SHOULD be relatively close together.

Tifa/Auron is a great, no-lose opportunity for Tifa really. If she loses, it's like 'eh, no one really believes she was the strongest Square character'. If she beats Auron comfortably, she can safely lay claim to being the strongest Square elite outside of Cloud/Sephy.

Auron's in a much better position than most people you've seen in a close match against a joke because he's actually managed to snag the lead. It's diminishing now, but if he's able to put some steam behind it again the fervor will collapse and Block's artificially inflated strength will fizzle into a cakewalk. He's still got his killer SNV to look forward to in order to if he needs a bit of help to brute force it, though obviously the longer it takes the more likely he'll lose to a last minute blitz of rallying/stuffing.

I'm serious! Squall only just beat Auron, right? As I said, if Tifa can beat Auron by a good margin she'll just prove what quite a few of her matches have hinted at all along.

I was thinking about 200, but 16.67 votes per update? Not sure how safe I'd feel about that! 300 might look prohibitive to the L-Block rally even though I think if they really tried 25 would be in their range.

Auron might fight back of course, but then we'll just have "2:1" happen. >_>
