We are either on our way to...

- the most surprising result in GameFAQs Contest history
- solid proof that CATS is the strongest "joke" character in history
- destruction.

Should we make our time?

00:00 | Ansem | 00026 | +0026 | 36.11% | CATS | 00046 | +0046 | 63.89% | Lead of 0020 | (Up 20)
00:15 | Ansem | 00467 | +0441 | 45.12% | CATS | 00568 | +0522 | 54.88% | Lead of 0101 | (Up 81)
00:30 | Ansem | 00755 | +0288 | 45.26% | CATS | 00913 | +0345 | 54.74% | Lead of 0158 | (Up 57)
00:45 | Ansem | 01061 | +0306 | 46.64% | CATS | 01214 | +0301 | 53.36% | Lead of 0153 | (Down 5)

He's sure beating the hell out of Ridley's early lead... which lasted under 4 minutes.

CATS has gained the past 10 minutes... looking like another positive update for him.

CATS is holding a solid 150-170 vote lead...but he will have to have way more if he wants to survive the day vote.

I mentioned in Stats a little bit ago that the biggest case of Board Vote I had ever seen was in the FF7/CT Championship match last Spring, where CT held strong for the first 75 minutes. As a tribute to CATS, who is about to take the concept of Board Vote to a whole new level, let's relive the start of that Championship.

00:15 | FF7 | 00762 | +0762 | 47.60% | Chrono Trigger | 00839 | +0839 | 52.40% | Lead of 0077 | (Up 77)

01:15 | FF7 | 03194 | +0505 | 51.71% | Chrono Trigger | 02983 | +0439 | 48.29% | Lead of 0211 | (Up 66)

Just seeing CATS have the lead after two hours is satisfaction enough for me. Heck, to even see him have the lead at all is a minor miracle.

Also, with 9 official (that is, 15 minute) lead changes, this is one of the most back-and-forth matchups of all time! Let me take a look and see what beats it.

Here are the results of my research.

The Top Ten Most Back-And-Forth Matches of All Time

Samus over Sonic ('02) - ? lead changes (15 minute updates weren't invented yet, plus we kept breaking the server with too many update requests. but this number was high, whatever it really was)
StarCraft over Wind Waker - 4 lead changes (though it did feature one of the biggest comebacks ever)
Mario RPG over Street Fighter 2 - 5 lead changes
Tommy over Donkey Kong - 6 lead changes
StarCraft over Halo - 6 lead changes
Metal Gear Solid over Final Fantasy Tactics - 6 lead changes
Frog over Liquid Snake - 6 lead changes
Mario over Crono ('03) - 6 lead changes (though one of those changes is still the most controversial of all time)

And finally, our new Top Two...

Ansem over CATS - 9 lead changes
Chrono Trigger over Link to the Past - 14(!) lead changes

So yes, this match has earned its place in the record books regardless.
