SuperNiceDog posted... Haste vs Leon make a life bet on the Magus/Vincent match!!! Heck no. Magus is not beating Vincent. "Ah,
a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is
a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
I sent a report to gameFAQs this morning and linked to OFool's first post. I know nothing about vote stuffing so I have no idea if it's happening or not, but it's worth it letting Allen know so he looks at it. |
So I just checked the results... 2B is dominating. But makes sense since I believe Cayde-6 is bottom 3 in this contest. Shadow is keeping it close. But Ness wins as expected. Okay didn't expected Terra to be that close. If only she had another match with someone else. Does anyone really cares about Gordon now and he keeps nominated? Seriously. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
UK account voted for Charizard. Correction from before though- there are 280 VPNs and most, but not all have voted (seemingly). If my sample of 7/10 is indicative that’s about 180 votes for charizard from the UK |
How can I see country trends - I want to investigate any countries that differ from the global trend |

OFool posted... How can I see country trends - I want to investigate any countries that differ from the global trend Click View Detailed Results under the poll, then click the blue button that has Map on it. |
I’m happy to help by giving my VPN. I don’t really know how it works from a technical point of view either. That said I want the Charizard to win. |
squexa posted... who would have imagined precontest that the closest match in the first 3.5 divisions is Terra/Charzard Hahaha what!! That's amazing. _SecretSquirrel posted... What if Terra vs. Charizard is the first match where registered user bonus plays into the result? Who would have called that? Oh man, did not occur to me. He is no longer "Zard". I now dub him "Turd". |
Shadow/Ness
might end up closer by the end than Terra/Charizard. That match has
been a huge stall-fest since the end of the second hour. Ness has only
gained about 400 votes on the lead since then. |

Well gg Terra. Good job exposing Charizard. |
Do vote totals ever get any bigger later on in the contest? >unironically playing video games |
I wonder if we will have some ridiculous result like Mewtwo being legit and Charizard being the fraud. |
the ridiculous result is that only Pikachu is legit |
Logience posted... Do vote totals ever get any bigger later on in the contest? Assuming no rallies, by a little bit. Especially when there are no fodder matches and you arent forced to vote in 4 matches so theyre all characters people know and care about. ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games.

There was already a decent jump on the third day - we went from 26k to 29k and have stayed strangely consistent. "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Logience posted... Do vote totals ever get any bigger later on in the contest? They do get bigger just because the strength of the competition goes up. Since we started doing multiple matches a day in 2015, we've also seen notable increases in vote totals when going from 4 matches to 2 matches per day (or 2 to 1 match per day). 2015 had an increase in vote totals when going to 2 matches per day, but the switch to 1 match per day was impossible to determine with all of the late contest rallying that took place. Although the Years contest showed an increase in vote totals when going from 2 matches to 1 match per day.

Kind
of surprised Charizard is performing so weakly... I figured he was the
strongest of all the Pokemon characters. Did getting rolled back into PT
in SSBU hurt him or something? |
Is
shadow closing in on Ness or is it just me? When I was on earlier, I
thought the shadow/ness battle was a bit wider than the terra/charizard
battle. Now they are almost equal. Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. |
He's not closing in. Ness just isn't increasing his lead. It's been stuck in the 1600s for the last 2 hours. |
Also random site visitors are more likely to return to participate. CBX - Today's Winners: 2B, Ness, Charizard, Bowser Score: 18/24 |
NightTundra posted... Kind of surprised Charizard is performing so weakly... I figured he was the strongest of all the Pokemon characters. Did getting rolled back into PT in SSBU hurt him or something? I want to say that nostalgia power has died down some for pokemon and Let's Go casualizing an already casual series even further (seriously... no held items? no random pokemon battles? no breeding? arbitrary gym requirements before you can fight a leader? c'mon gamefreak) has hurt some of the pokes. You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
I would have never imagined Neptune > Cayde-6 would be a thing... Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Just realized how boring the next round is 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Shadow/Ness on the verge of being closer than Charizard/Terra now lead has been stuck in the 1600s for over 4 hours now |
That gap is so big Shadow is sadly never getting over it :( |
Interesting how Ness/Shadow match is so similar to Terra/Charizard and Bowser/Gordon match is so similar to 2B/Clayde 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
maybe it's time to start discussing this: TWF, the WOMAN factor. Most of the women(excl Monika) are overperforming so far: Lightning, Terra, Yuna, 2b, Peach, Chun-Li, Aya Brea, Velvet, all of them are did better than expected. Maybe voters are voting for female empowerment due to Trump? GJ BK_Sheikah |
You
can't argue that any of those women overperformed - met expectations at
best. Are you trying to make posts worse than LMS posts? "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
swirIdude posted... Are you trying to make posts worse than LMS posts? come on, he smashed through that a long time ago |
STElNER posted... swirIdude posted...Are you trying to make posts worse than LMS posts? I don't think you quite remember vintage LMS posts. Making up a new factor really clinched this one. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
swirIdude posted... You can't argue that any of those women overperformed - met expectations at best. Are you trying to make posts worse than LMS posts? https://i.imgtc.com/2McIArU.png Terra is doing +15% better than transcience(the crew analysis leader now in accuracy) said she would right now. Is that "meeting expectations"? GJ BK_Sheikah (edited 10/25/2018 1:17:43 PM) |
It means transcience made a post almost as wrong as yours. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
SuperNiceDog posted... maybe it's time to start discussing this: t*** > Fodder |
Like
there is no amazing feminist factor. It's just that when you pit two
weak chars against each other, the one with prettier face and/or bigger
boobs gets the apathy votes. As for Terra, it's due to other factors. And Chun-Li underperformed. (edited 10/25/2018 1:27:27 PM) |
Match XXIX: (3) Phoenix Wright vs. (14) Chris Redfield Previous Contest Performance Phoenix Wright - 2013 Round 1: 44.30% against Marth (36.07%) and Nightmare (19.63%) Round 2: 29.91% against Mewtwo (44.28%) and Vincent Valentine (25.81%) Chris Redfield - 2010 Round 1: 68.01% against Captain MacMillan (31.99%) Round 2: 28.01% against Cloud Strife (71.99%) Analysis As I was constructing my bracket on my first run through I had Chris Redfield winning this match. I quickly switched it to Phoenix Wright. Chris had a pretty good performance against Cloud in 2010 and even if you suspect anti-votes he was only a couple of points behind Captain Falcon’s performance. Of course, it has been eight years since we last saw him, but I feel Resident Evil has held up over that time and Chris still makes appearances in those games. Phoenix Wright looked pretty good in 2013, even ignoring his second-round match he did defeat Marth without too much trouble. I feel there’s a good chance that he may be weaker, but I’m always underestimating him so I may be wrong. Plus, with registered users’ votes counting double I imagine he’ll have a bit of a buffer and quite the board vote. charmander6000’s Bracket: Phoenix Wright > Chris Redfield charmander6000’s Prediction: Phoenix Wright wins, 58.24% - 41.76% Match XXX: (6) Ike vs. (11) Joel Previous Contest Performance Ike - 2013 Round 1: 35.81% against Proto Man (35.26%) and Dr. Robotnik (28.94%) Round 2: 25.39% against GlaDOS (44.92%) and Epona (29.70%) Joel - N/A N/A Analysis With Fire Emblem becoming more mainstream, I wonder if that will translate into a boost for Ike. On one hand, he tends to top popularity polls from the series, but on the other hand I imagine he gets most of his strength from Super Smash Bros. Lucky for him Ultimate is coming out soon. For a new character, I think Joel will have some strength. The Last of Us had a decent performance during the games contest and I imagine some of that strength will translate to Joel. Ike isn’t the strongest, but he does get the job done and I wouldn’t take Joel over some of the opponents Ike has defeated in the past. charmander6000’s Bracket: Ike > Joel charmander6000’s Prediction: Ike wins, 62.35% - 37.65% CBX - Today's Winners: 2B, Ness, Charizard, Bowser Score: 18/24 |
Match XXXI: (7) Estelle Bright vs. (10) Isaac Previous Contest Performance Estelle Bright - N/A N/A Isaac - 2013 Round 1: 20.32% against Solid Snake (71.21%) and Commander Keen (8.48%) Analysis Isaac is an example of a character that should be complete fodder. His series is non-existent and really the only thing keeping him relevant is people wanting to see him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, both he and Golden Sun have had decent performances throughout their history to the point where there is a small push for Isaac to be called the new fodder line. Estelle however, won’t be breaking the fodder line. She’s only here due to a board rally. We don’t have a lot of information on her or her series, but based on the game’s performance during the Game of the Year polls I doubt she will amount to much. charmander6000’s Bracket: Isaac > Estelle Bright charmander6000’s Prediction: Isaac wins, 65.73% - 34.27% Match XXXII: (2) Kirby vs. (15) Guile Previous Contest Performance Kirby - 2013 Round 1: 46.44% against Terra Branford (36.55%) and Princess Peach (17.01%) Round 2: 51.28% against Elizabeth (24.48%) and Crash Bandicoot (24.24%) Round 3: 33.65% against Sephiroth (37.93%) and Big Boss (28.42%) Guile - N/A N/A Analysis Kirby is a bit of an underdog, but has sizable support to win the division. He’ll have three matches to show that he can potentially challenge and defeat Bowser. Kirby had a pretty good 2013, but Bowser is currently killing Gordon Freeman. Sure, it was expected that Freeman will be weaker, but it’s still an impressive performance. Guile has been on the board’s radar to rally for a while and now he gets an opportunity to show what he’s made of. Too bad we couldn’t get him in during the “Guile’s theme goes with everything” meme. Overall, I expect him to be a step below Chun-Li which is okay in terms of strength, but he’s not going to touch Kirby. charmander6000’s Bracket: Kirby > Guile charmander6000’s Prediction: Kirby wins, 69.45% - 30.55% CBX - Today's Winners: 2B, Ness, Charizard, Bowser Score: 18/24 |
Guile's theme still goes with everything. Character Battle X Current Score: 20/24 Final Fantasy is dead. Long live Final Fantasy. |
SuperNiceDog posted... maybe it's time to start discussing this: Lightning's against another woman.... And I think what we're seeing is just TJF being amplified by the fact that users are forced to vote for all 4 polls. We'll see how Estelle does against Isaac tonight. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
supernicedog seems at least a little more self aware than LMS I think it's funny |
pjbasis posted... supernicedog seems at least a little more self aware than LMS pj you ready for Riku to shock the world against Bayo(noob)-a??? https://i.imgtc.com/CTzASfW.png pretty boys never lose ^_^ GJ BK_Sheikah |
SuperNiceDog posted... pjbasis posted...supernicedog seems at least a little more self aware than LMS As someone who's never played a KH game.... Riku is a f***ing MAN?!?!?!?!? The hands of god, decrepit and thin, Cold caress and then nothing |
Guile's theme might go with everything, but it essentially is the same as the old MLB on FOX theme. It's too bad FOX got rid of that theme, because having Guile's battle go on during the World Series (yeah, today is a rest day), would have been awesome. (For those who don't know the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6__Xr3ouAI) Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
As long as Riku doesn't get witch timed he might be ok |
Shadow can't find that DARN 47th percent |
Quick, go to bed. CBX - Today's Winners: 2B, Ness, Charizard, Bowser Score: 18/24 |
charmander6000 posted... Quick, go to bed. That only works for Terra, not Shadow. Shadow must be too busy haunting Leon's dreams. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
