How the hell is Samus doing this?

What’s “B7” mean?

Match is pretty up in the air right now IMO. Could see the early vote being “smarter” than the vote tomorrow, which might favor Mario more like last time, while the early voters might have more sympathy for Samus this time, as well as actually realizing she can win this time, which might boost her a bit with them.

Maybe Samus can get rallies tomorrow though. I don’t have much confidence in either of them at this point.
* Voters want something different
* People's brackets are dead so they vote with their heart of integrity instead of selfishness of their bracket
* Potentially different voters voting on this particular day
* Potential rally

Sprite round probably hurt her a bit compared to Mario.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

-Sprite pics might have been better for Mario
-People thinking Samus can actually win, so voting for her.
-Sympathy for her earlier loss.
-Lower vote totals.
-Some random variation thrown in.

A number of reasons one can think of.

And by "this", I didn't mean winning in general, I meant how the hell did she stop Mario pulling away and then start pulling in these ridiculous updates?

Indirectly yes.

As proven by today Zelda is on a bandwagon and will most likely lose to samus if they meet.

There is no new generation of players on gamefaqs. Teenagers pretty much don't use message boards anymore so current gamefaqs is basically a steadily dwindling group of the same old farts who were here a decade ago.

do these results give Cloud any chance at beating Mario or Samus next round?
If it looks like Samus would have won this match without any rallies (if they show up later on), I imagine this result would be used in the adjusted X-Stats since it happened with a more neutral match picture set-up. No sprites to tilt things in Mario's favor.

I knew it.

Son of a b****.

I'm legit happy about this, but I feel like these loser bracket matches mean very little to the average voter. This means about what the 2007 bonus poll meant, where ? Block won but if it was in the main bracket it wouldn't have won the contest. I have a very hard time believing Samus wins if this was purely single elimination, but at least this isn't 60-40 anymore.

It allllllllllllllllllllmost makes me think Sonic could beat Mario.

If only we could get that as a bonus match after the true contest final. I had an idea of getting some matches involving only the Noble Nine that have never happened in a 1v1 match. There's only 6 potential match combinations meeting those requirements.

Cloud/Mega Man
Crono/Samus
Crono/Sephiroth
Mario/Sonic
Mega Man/Samus
Sephiroth/Sonic

That's all of the remaining Noble Nine match-ups which have not happened in a 1v1 match. If we were to run multiple bonus matches at the same time, I assume Allen would avoid using the same character in more than one match. Which limits us to a maximum of 3 matches running at the same time. My personal picks are Cloud/Mega Man, Crono/Sephiroth, and Mario/Sonic.

The closest we got to it was Mario vs Shadow 2003, Super Mario World vs Sonic 2 2004, and Mario/Bowser vs Sonic/Eggman 2011. They have almost always been on opposite sides of the bracket so the closest we ever came to actually having the match finally happen was this year (Sonic needed to beat Zelda in order to face Mario)

4 of the 6 matches listed above technically happened in the fourway contests (Cloud/Mega Man and Mega Man/Samus in 2007, Crono/Samus and Sephiroth/Sonic in 2008).

Crono/Sephiroth is the only combination that we've never seen in a contest match. The closest we had to getting that match was 2003 (where Mario beat Crono the round before) and 2010 (where Missingno happened).

Mario / Shadow happened and Shadow got 45% on him

i think he acted as a proxy for Sonic in that match. Sonic himself might have done better but not by much
interesting
+39 update for Mario wtf
If all else fails use fire.

Also, I'm pretty certain if Mario vs Sonic were to ever happen on this site, Mario would just SFF him to the ground like Luigi did with Tails. That match probably was only close back in 2002-2004 before the Nintendo boost and the Sonic franchise became an absolute joke with too many bad 3D Sonic games. Now, I could be a 70-30 blowout.

In a way, I actually think Final Fantasy has been suffering the same problem in that the franchise has had so many misses over the past 15 years that it's catching up to all post-FF7 characters.

Mario is the worst non Blizzard non MGS cheater in contest history.

We know that.

Y'all know trends pretty well.

How much does Samus need to lead by so not even cheating Mario could win?

When can we feel safe?
Assuming that trends follow Mario/Samus 1, Samus is going to end up with a higher % by the end of the match than she does right now. Trends have often not followed logic in this contest, though.

So we have ANY actual evidence of this besides Allen (who is worthless and a liar) who has lied on numerous occasions before about vote stuffing so as to not EVER do his f***ing job?
