Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1312

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like Snake should have this. He doesn't seem to be slowing down yet, and he should take the lead soonish.

If this comes down to rallies, as all close matches do, I also think he'll have an advantage. We are passionate about our brackets, so I'd expect more Snake rallies.
---

Snake will probably take the lead, but I'm not confident that he'll be able to build enough of a buffer to keep it.
---

Yeah, I thought he'd need a few hundred vote lead by the morning to have a good shot. He might get 100 at this rate.. Zelda should win the day easily regardless of rallies.
---

Don't care about either

I want Zelda to win for the lolz
But I think I prefer Snake to win for my brackets sake
---

Snake losing rekts both my brackets lol

Just happy I have a link Mario final in both at least
---

I don't really care about my bracket, it's just fun to root for the underdogs and see a Noble Niner go down. Same kinda idea how I always root for the lower seeds in the NCAA tourney, it's just more exciting than all the expected winners.
---

Its bed time for Nintendos target age group right now.
---

1 or 2 more updates and the lead is changing.

Kids don't visit this site anymore

It's funny how even single digit leads are now hard to break.
The same happened with Pikachu vs Mega man.

Yeah I was worried about Zelda beating Snake. At least I took Zelda over Sonic in the losers bracket?
---

ugh Zelda just give it up already
---

COME ON SNAKE

COME ON

Our hopes are with you
---

Anyone left still voting for Zelda just stop it please.
---

woot
---

Took Snake long enough but he finally got the lead. I wonder how much he'll be able to build it with the kiddies waking up and already being stalled though
---

There it is! Not sure how good this looks for Snake, but I'm glad he has at least managed to make a fight of it.
---

HE MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE
POSSlBLE

DO IT SNAKE
---

Even if he loses the lead, if Snake manages to keep it close enough to Zelda with a few hours left, I think he has a good chance of getting rallied to victory.
---

There's a chance we get another match the N9 would have won without doubling registered voters. Reckon this stays pretty close from here.

Do kids actually vote on this site any more?
---

Kiddies might vote, but they're not as concentrated around the afternoon as used to be at all.

I think if anyone is going to get rallied, it's going to be Zelda.

Nintendo fans are kids at heart

Is this any reason why there are stalls almost everytime its close to a tie

More seriously, I think it's probably due to the pathetic votals.

And just like that, Zelda has the lead again. Seems once the night vote was over, so was Snake.

Calling it a little early, don't you think?

Not at all? Like I said earlier, Snake needed a few hundred vote lead going into the day vote to stand a chance, and all he got was 24.
---

Well that was quite an update.
---

Well maybe I called his demise a bit too early. Still think it'll be rough for him to get the kinda lead he needs to hold onto though
---

So, time for Zelda hentai rallies?

Zelda winning will make that match obsolete though lol
---

It's funny that the 'night' vote is like 4 hours long
---

That was quite the night from Snake. Not sure if it will be enough, but it was fun to go through after I woke up.

Somrone needs to tweet david hayter again.

War has changed.

But Snake kicking ass will never change!

And erased

Man, Snake just stopped pulling in votes these last 15 minutes.
---

Lets see if Zelda can truly hold onto it this time. 3 "cuts" is a trend as they say.
---

Zelda's second day vote has been very inconsistent this contest. In her match against Squall, she hit 63.35% at around 8:20, rose to 63.67% by 10:50 and then fell back down to 63.32% when the match ended.

i'll do it only if snake gets a big enough rally of his own.

If people are actually serious about rallying Zelda they should just go to Zelda or esp BotW subreddits.
---

These might be the greatest back-to-back matches we've ever had
---

Zelda, botw, and maybe the Nintendo switch subreddit would be the best places to rally zelda on reddit
Also thelostwoods if you're one of those deviants is the zelda specific pornsub I believe

I don't see how Snake can possible win this. He barely did anything with the night vote (edit: okay, he caught up, but he didn't build a lead). This is >90% Zelda's and TLoZ doesn't generally choke winnable matches.

Zelda's second day vote is not consistent. She as well as the rest of Nintendo have their strongest times somewhere between 8PM-midnight, when Europe is asleep, which is how we end up with a bunch of Nintendo/quasi-Nintendo characters "choking" leads this contest like Dedede, K Rool, Belmont, Bayonetta, etc. Europe's going to be awake for the rest of the match.

And for whatever reason, while Link and her series usually do okay with rallying (Majora > FFX comes to mind), her rallying power hasn't been that great if her match with Charizard is anything to go by. Snake should be a lesser rallying threat than a Pokemon and she does have BotW, but I don't know. And Snake has also the bracket advantage, since the BOP had almost nobody having Zelda here.
