A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

Bloodborne had a huge update there.

Lead change probably next update.

this is interesting because, as more voters wake up , RE2's natural strength being higher will start to become more relevant

but on the other hand the BB subreddit will also just get more active during the day.

I have a hard time seeing RE2 take this right now. I think Bloodborne has quite a bit fuel if needed and a remake is probably among the harder games left to rally for. And I'd think P4G and HGSS would be easier on top of that.

Given where the rally upvotes are now compared to the last Bloodborne rally, this is pretty much over. It got 800+ upvotes last time and is in the 200s now. It still has far too much steam for RE2 to swing this back.

What probably hurt RE2 more was the match starting late so it not having a bigger lead before the rally kicked in. Rally is going to be big enough for it to not matter but would have at least made things more interesting

Maybe it has just enough fuel to get close enough for those two hours to have mattered.

I dont think the two hours really matter right now. Bloodborne is going to have a huge lead by the time its done, and the rally was going to happen regardless when the match started.

Allen still deserves a little bit of shade for putting himself in a position where not having the correct start time could impact the results of the match, but I think he dodges that bullet for now.

Oh shit this is potentially huge. If we assume RE2 is naturally stronger, it can absolutely make up the lost votes.

You have to think the BB fans will attempt more rallies throughout the day and hope they don't get taken down. If not, RE2 will run away with it.

Can somebody link me to the leaderboard page? I voted on my phone when I woke up, so I clicked the X on my computer to make the match disappear in order to not accidentally vote again, and now I can't actually get to any of those pages easily.

People just go to reddit now everytime there's a close match? How petty. I thought rallies were suposed to be funny
How on earth is "hurrrr durrrr I asked people to vote in these stupid contests like a giant sorry" ever funny? It should be pretty telling that the biggest manchild on the board seems to be the only person universally in favour of rallies, and everyone else only supports them when the outcome is in their favour (or when they're a sad basement dwelling turbovirgin rooting for anime titties)
