Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1284

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had this quick scare because I thought I had picked Tidus to win, but it turns out I didn't.

But then I realized I picked Sully too. gg, me.

Is this number of brackets the lowest ever?

If you say so! Go ahead, exalt Vivi! He's gonna beat Ganon CONFIRMED!!!

second lowest

Years had a little over 4000

Donkey Kong is SFFing Tidus within the "looks like a dork" fanbase.

Overall vote totals (without the bonus) on the first day of matches - 17575, 17581, 17578, 17581

That's roughly an average of 17579 votes for the first day of matches. With 150 matches, we are on track for a total of 2636850 votes for the entire contest. At least we're already outperforming the Years contest from a year ago, despite our non-contest vote totals being even lower since the Years contest.

Interesting how Tidus is limping along like this, while Vivi and even Lightning have excelled. Poor guy can't catch a break.

CUT BABY

Slice and Dice here we go

Hm, so it is possible to not vote for every match.

I can tell Tidus/DK is going to be a stupid match and I love it.

Projecting Vivi's strength vs. Yu doesn't make him beat Ganon.

It does make him beat Leon, though.

So... Yu or Dragonborn?

@Ranticoot Thanks man.

So it seems like. It's still possible to submit a vote directly to the poll results page (which I'm doing for the First Vote contest), which is one way that someone could vote in fewer than 4 matches on any given day.

I'd probably take Narukami, honestly. Dragonborn looked pretty pathetic in 2013, and I can't imagine he's gotten any better.

Yu, really easily.

vivi > ganon BOOK IT - LeonhartFour, 2018

I'd easily take Yu over Dragonborn. That's a 60-40 if I've ever seen one.

Where can you see the stats for the finished matches? Can't see them.

Go to the overall results page, and there should be some links right above the bracket.

There goes my tie-breaker.

Unless there are rallies

Trend charts time:

Time | Dante | Cuphead | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 73.01% | 26.99% | 452 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 72.21% | 27.79% | 3278 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 70.35% | 29.65% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 72.64% | 27.36% | 3074 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 71.87% | 28.13% | 5628 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 72.21% | 27.79% | 5959 | (16:00-24:00)

Cuphead does well with the early night vote. The match is fairly steady otherwise.

Time | Chloe | Lightning | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 31.11% | 68.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 27.02% | 72.98% | 3283 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 25.43% | 74.57% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 26.60% | 73.40% | 3075 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 25.55% | 74.45% | 5628 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 25.51% | 74.49% | 5962 | (16:00-24:00)

B8 favors Life Is Strange, which isn't surprising. Europe does, too, which is a little more surprising.

Time | Spyro | Chun-Li | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 35.11% | 64.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 44.66% | 55.34% | 3278 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 42.46% | 57.54% | 8453 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 44.96% | 55.04% | 3076 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 44.74% | 55.26% | 5630 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 43.87% | 56.13% | 5961 | (16:00-24:00)

Spyro does his best work around the middle, probably around the time Europe is voting in the largest numbers. Chunners does a little better out of the gate and toward the end.

Time | Ganon | Neku | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 79.11% | 20.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 79.15% | 20.85% | 3285 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 78.59% | 21.41% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 77.12% | 22.88% | 3073 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 78.92% | 21.08% | 5627 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 78.78% | 21.22% | 5962 | (16:00-24:00)

Not a lot of movement here, but Ganondorf does his best right out of the gate, and Neku does a little better during the deep night.
---

I'm not as sour on Dragonborn as most, apparently. I expected him to easily crack 30% and possibly even avoid the doubling. So like Ulti, I feel like Leon is throwing down a real gauntlet here.

Vivi/Leon could go either way, really. But that's true any year. Except CBIX...!
---

I actually have Tidus in my bracket thinking I had DK.

I actually felt like I had the "smart" pick for once. Dammit.
---

well that wasn't good
---

*sigh* Meg Ryan, you had one job!
---

That was a 60-40 update, pack it up boys
---

without the 2x users votes Tidus/DK would be much closer than this.
---

I got Tidus wrong, but at least my Alucard > Yuna pick looks more feasible now.

Drat. I had a high pick for both Aya and Leon but dropped them because everyone else went low...

Oh hey, I have Alucard > Yuna too! There's a silver lining.

Tidus is fucked though, yeah. Put a bow on it.

Oh so this was all part of the plan. Makes sense now
---

DK's vote uptake spiked a lot that one update. We'll see what happens now.

Imagine having faith in Tidus actually coming back.

also

Imagine having faith in DK actually holding this lead.

oops
