As of 8:00 PM EST tonight: What were the registered vs anonymous user splits for the rest of Zelda's Legend bracket matches?

A lot of the 'anonymous' users aren't as anonymous as the term implies. Otherwise we wouldn't get percentage-perfect results on reruns like Crono/Bowser. There's just a lot of lurkers on the site who don't necessarily register, but still visit often.

Zelda did do better with anonymous users against Snake, but we now know there were hentai rallies for Zelda. Here were the registered/anonymous splits for all of Zelda's matches:
Zelda/Ezio - 77.27% / 71.75% The Boss/Zelda - 71.06% / 70.05% Squall/Zelda - 64.16% / 61.86% Zelda/Aerith - 63.00% / 60.75% Snake/Zelda - 49.64% / 51.56% Zelda/Sonic - 56.33% / 56.66% Zelda/Mario - 48.82% / 54.59% Zelda/Mario featured even more hentai rallies, so Zelda looks lot better with anonymous users (and outright loses to Mario with registered users). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! ...

Zelda has lost 12.29% from the freeze, in an hour and a half. L-Block started off slightly higher than Zelda, and at this time had lost 11.50% from the freeze.
Okay. I said a few hours ago that bandwagons gave a telltale trend shift, and this is exactly what we see here. Bandwagon trends. This is apparently quite a big bandwagon, at least today. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ... Copied to Clipboard!

So now that the excitement has died down, I took a look at the stats posted so far, the only thing that seems really out of left field is everything behind Tifa/Sephiroth. What can we do there? Even if we use Mario/Seph and Tifa/Samus, that puts them at nearly the same level which still doesn't make sense to me, judging off of Ryu who has no reason to have dropped

Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 3 and later
Cloud Strife vs. Crono Registered Vote Result: Cloud Strife - 5002 (56.63%) Crono - 3831 (43.37%) Anonymous Vote Result: Cloud Strife - 6559 (59.64%) Crono - 4438 (40.36%) Mario vs. Samus Aran Registered Vote Result: Mario - 4651 (52.64%) Samus Aran - 4184 (47.36%) Anonymous Vote Result: Mario - 5041 (45.84%) Samus Aran - 5956 (54.16%) Compared to the first Cloud/Crono match, Cloud actually did worse with registered users in the rematch - 57.24% in the first match, 56.63% in the rematch. The biggest difference between the 2 matches were the anonymous user results. Cloud got 55.81% in the first match, and then jumps all the way up to 59.64% in the rematch. That's a pretty sharp increase in the anonymous user results, and suggests that anonymous users are far more sensitive to the pic factor. The first Cloud/Crono match had sprites and maybe the anonymous users were less likely to recognize a Cloud sprite picture compared to registered users. There's always a chance that the Samus rally had some effect on the anonymous user results of this match. The Mario/Samus rematch is only the third match this contest where the registered user bonus actually changed the result of the match. Samus would have won by 448 votes if we went strictly by the raw votes, but Mario won by 467 votes with the registered users. This means Mario ends up winning by 19 votes. The registered/anonymous user split for the Mario/Samus rematch is one of the largest we've seen in this contest. Mario did almost 7% better with registered users compared to anonymous users. In the first Mario/Samus match, the difference was only about 3% between registered/anonymous users. This makes me think that the Samus rally on the Metroid subreddit actually had a noticeable impact on the match.

Sephiroth was always way too strong for a villain. He's much closer to his game/series protagonist in strength than any other villain apart from maybe Kefka. It kinda makes sense that he'd continually drop over the years, as a villain gains popularity from the cool stuff they do in a game, and that cool stuff is bound to be forgotten over time. Heroes lose popularity less quickly.

Samus is my favorite non-FFIV character, and this was pretty much her only chance to ever beat Mario. Disagree completely. Samus proved that she can hang with Mario.

I probably posted it in one of the stats topics years ago but I did do a trendline analysis for Mario/Crono 2003 along the lines of what Lopen did for the Draven matches, and that's where the 10,000 number is coming from. The match pulled in about 10,000 more votes in the last 3-4 hours than it would have based on normal 2003 vote intake trends, and the reason people didn't notice it was so big at the time was that 40% of the extra votes went to Crono. Also, the male/female poll was during Mario/Cloud, not Mario/Crono. There is zero way it had an impact on Mario/Crono, because it didn't happen during that match. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thats the thing, it was this close after Mario got his big game of the gen last year, and Samus still has hers that could give her franchise a proper resurrection and a huge boost. If we can get another character contest a couple years from now she might even do the impossible and break 40% on Link. --- Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot ...

He got around the same against Sephiroth as Amaterasu which suggested Sephiroth would rank at around Luigi strength which is sort of what we saw. It also correlates with MMX's performance against Ryu before the Draven rally began (I assume he would have lost a couple of percent points due to the European vote) --- CBX - Today's Winner: Link ...

Getting mad that Mario beat Samus in a poll might happen because someone is comfortable with other stuff in life.
But personally, I don't think I've ever gotten mad at other people because my character lost in one of these. Sad and disappointed and upset, absolutely. Crono losing to Sonic and Vincent and Missingno was a punch to the gut, each time.
