Lurker > Lopen

there were already two tiebreakers in place. # votes in the final match, and submission time. no need to create a 3rd that's 99% based on luck.

Good lord, I'm surprised that there were people who got onto the leaderboard who had less than 50000 points prior to the final match. If I had done the straight pick, I could have easily been on the leaderboard.

Sounds like Lopen is finally lobbying for Random Piece of FFVII Furniture after all this time.

Perhaps there's something to be said for this. Though I still find FF7 going from blowing the doors off at what should be a more or less neutral time frame, to suddenly going 50/50 the instant the lead was about to change, in a match that had the highest vote totals of the contest, which included an entrant known to be the biggest rallying force...and an entrant known to be the biggest magnet for anti-rallying...to be suspect to say the least. In terms of linearity, this match is not going to be reliable.

It's the reason he was nominated <_<

There is no reason for FF7 to dominate the morning vote so thoroughly, against an entity whose morning vote should actually be better - in relative terms - than FF7's. Or at worst, they are both neutral at this time. Going from 53-54% during these two hours to 50/50 the rest of the way is waaay off from normal trends.

Indeed. You are free to stop posting about the subject.

Even at the half-way point in the match, it looked like Trainers/Cloud would fall just short of 60000 votes. Instead, Trainers/Cloud goes on to 63000 votes. That might give you an idea on the number of rallied votes in the match, but not all of them are for the Trainers. I'm sure Cloud got rallied votes as well.

So, for those 3000 extra votes, let's put a guess at 2500 for Trainers and 500 for C/S, giving us a net gain of 2000 for Pokemon. Seems about as reasonable as anything else.

It's an SFF match. It doesn't necessarily mean you misjudged the characters strength. It could mean you misjudged the amount of SFF. My Oracle is way out because I misjudged the amount of SFF. If the final wasn't a SFF match, I probably would have gone with exactly what the third place match would call for a result or something very close to it.

But anyone who thinks that the Trainers had static strength across those two matches is clearly mistaken because the Trainers got a lot of rallied votes in the FF7 match they didn't get in the MvB match, so why do you say I'm being stubborn by having that stance? Having the obvious, common sense stance isn't being "stubborn".

Again, entrants strength can and does vary from match to match. Like L-Block. That's blatantly what happened with the Trainers here. That stance is reasonable. Having that stance is not being "stubborn".

...um. But that's the same thing. What we're trying to do is estimate the SFF level. You really aren't getting this for some reason.
