I wonder how many votes doesn't go to X because of "last place factor" and "Crono vs Mario factor"

This match isn't even advertised. It takes you to Link/Draven/Shepard if you click on the next battle from the Charizard one.

Pro-Nintendo spillover should be giving Mario a boost, so I won't count Crono completely out. Difficult position he's starting in, though.

#378 | Nanis23 | Posted 9/1/2013 9:03:28 AM | message detail
And lol at ZFS comparing Pokemon rallying to Draven
There is nothing wrong with rallying a powerful character to the point it gains..2% more percent
Comparing this to rallying for a character that makes it weaker than Chie to be able to double Link? this is different level of "wrong"
#379 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/1/2013 9:03:32 AM | message detail
I see no signs of elevated vote totals in this match as a result of the spillover from the intense rallying in the previous match.

So much for Mario being weak!

He's doing better here than in his round 2 poll.oh ZeldaFAQs. And a lack of RallyFAQs, as well.

Zelda and Charizard started pulling in numerous 110+ updates out of nowhere for the final hour where they have been averaging the low 80s beforehand.

Well, you can't access the bonus poll from the previous match results page. That's probably why there's no spillover.

Man. Mario is really not showing any signs of him being particularly weak so far. Vivi just decided to take the hatchet to him.

Would assume 3000 votes in the last hour isn't normal
#391 | ctesjbuvf | Posted 9/1/2013 9:08:33 AM | message detail
This is super impressive for Mario and puts him where he should be to make the final. Guess having a near elite character pulling him down and a rally against him was just a little bit too much. He did recieve about the same amount of votes as Link in round 2.

I figured a combination of Vivi's rally and Ganondorf being present was what took out Mario. Mega Man X isn't sapping him like Ganon did and there's no rally.

And then the car wash cost five dollars.
#393 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/1/2013 9:09:07 AM | message detail
Mario as far from Crono as Crono is from X, huh. Unless there was a significant amount of spillover this is probably done, but it should be good for making estimations. Plus it's cool to see a match with good characters without BRACKETZ influencing the outcome for once.

Okay, yes, the fact that vote totals for this contest have been abysmal is probably in large part to blame, but this contest has had a greater number of the closest matches ever than any other single contest. (And no, it wasn't tied for that honor before this match. Spring 2009 had 4 before this match knocked one of them off the list.)
