whew complete disaster averted

Chloe is getting destroyed

Yeah, we have to remember that Dante could potentially double Lightning next round too.
---

more like lightning finally appreciated for being the star of the best final fantasy

it's like the zelda cycle
---

This is probably more Chloe being terrible than it is Lightning being good
---

So much for second match being wonky this year, unless you had Chloe being respectable. Third match might be usurping it this year.

uh oh if he's using the default pics that are in their profiles

JOKER IS BONED

I warned everyone about this. Quiet is probably boned too.
---

Good, Claire deserves a win too.
---

maybe we can bother Allen into fixing Joker before the match

Looks like I can obtain the raw vote totals without the registered user bonus applied by looking at the source code of these pages:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7238
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7239
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7240
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7241

The poll graphs that GameFAQs provides on the poll results page also shows just the raw vote totals, so we can get a rough idea at the registered user percentage at all stages of the match.

No one actually picked Chloe did they? (Outside of people banking on rallies)

Like why would you assume she's anything other than complete and utter turbofodder.

I think people just thought Lightning was super weak

which she is by FF standards but she's still high end fodder

I told you guys, after Best Year in Gaming, you can't trust Allen to pic a proper pic himself.

I need the updater augh

Ah damnit. I'm going to sleep. We'll see if Spyro can make anything of this

At least we can tell the sexual orientation
---

I just hope SBAllen will put "Joker" on the front page because he's not listing the full official character names on there.
---

God that Claire pic is dreadful

makes her look like Dahlia Gillespie
---

omfg I never paid attention to Claire's pic. I'd rather her lose to full powered Joker than face the world with that monstrosity.

This is weird. Is the results page updating at a different interval than the vote totals pages?

Also, EXTREMELY interested to see how we can extrapolate how many registered users voted compared to non-registered after this first day ends.

Yeah, the two pages often didn't show the exact same results in 2015 and 2017.
---

Whew, Chun-Li finally starting to pull away a little bit.
---

Which one is the most up to date one?

I guess I could probably figure it out by finding the fraction that reproducesthe result page percentages, but Im too lazy at the moment

The individual poll results are the most up to date.

We can absolutely do this as I found a way to obtain the raw vote totals without the registered user bonus applied. In fact, I obtained these raw vote totals at the 5 minute mark:

Dante - 158 (70.22%), Cuphead - 67 (29.78%)
Chloe Price - 70 (31.11%), Lightning - 155 (68.89%)
Spyro the Dragon - 82 (36.44%), Chun-Li - 143 (63.56%)
Ganondorf - 179 (79.56%), Neku Sakuraba - 46 (20.44%)

Great, but compared to how many points (or percentages) at that mark? That's what I'm most interested in.

Was Chun Li ahead the whole time or was it close to start?

She was roughly/over 60% at the beginning
---

oh man this also means old man pic for Big Boss in round 1

not that it matters against Ridley but yeah

Eh spyro went from 35% to 45% really fast but then the board vote died so chunli is pulling away

shocking that ridley wasn't excluded for being too big for match pics
---

Thinking ahead to Crash - I would definitely take Chun-Li over Cecil, and I would definitely take Crash over Spyro. Especially after The N-Sane Trilogy accrued as much hype as it did.

Cecil should be the favorite, but I picked Crash as an upset and I feel okay about it overall.

Did the contest start a day early or am I trippin?
---

also Phoenix has it in the bag against Chris Redfield

what a dork

RE characters in general except for Jill have bad pics

Yeah but I could've sworn it said the contest starts on the 19th.

Oh nvm. lolol

We in the future brah
---

you're far from the only one confused

I even made a topic about it yesterday

If I could make a single R1 change based on knowing the pics would stay the same, it would probably be Tails > Drake.

I almost took this upset due to complete disrespect to Lightning and TWD's Lee getting close to Mr. Game and Watch. I backed off but still thought Chloe would break 40%.

Oh well!
