It's all over. Somebody read CJ his last rites before Ness puts him out of his misery already, thanks to his awe-inspiring YO-YO OF INSURMOUNTABLE DOOM & GRIEVOUS MISFORTUNE.

One Around the Corner into a whirling Flying Saucer, with a Rock the Baby serving as the grand pièce de résistance oughta turn the trick.

Ho-hum...

I don't wanna have stats showing that CJ = Jak; that would just seem very wrong to me. For those wondering, Jak got 44.92% on Ness last year.

CJ's still got plenty of time to gain ground; Ness has but a small cushion of a lead going for him right now. How does Onett-Boy and the GTA crew generally fare during the day?

this is not the board vote keeping ness high. there isn't enough of us to do that yet ness still is in control of this match

I don't think many would argue that. It's actually quite amazing when you think about it. Other than the Ice Climbers and Captain Falcon, who else wouldn't get a majority of their popularity from their main series?

Master Hand was against a guy in a thong not a gangster.

Weren't the FE games with marth and Roy never brought to NA? If so I'd say they would as well if they ever made it in.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Master Hand was against a guy in a thong not a gangster.

Kuja traded in his thong for a "Trance" pic, which was probably one of the more decent pics Kuja was ever going to get. Trouble was, he was pitted against a glove shooting ever-loving LASERS from its fingertips...

Man..isn't this going the same way Jak went?

Maybe it's just me, but I thought Kuja had a terrible pic. At least with a thong pic he wouldn't have looked like an inflatable doll.

Well sort of, except this is a much bigger upset if Ness wins, and Ness had about twice the lead on Jak that he has on Ness at this point.

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Okay, I was just checking Ness's match against Jak. I didn't realize that Ness lost so much of a percentage to Jak. He went from 60% from the start down to 55%. He didn't start so well against CJ, so I'm not counting this match over yet.

More in depth, I'm curious about GTA:San Andreas' regional sales. Does anyone have that information handy? I'm looking for:

Sales in Japan
Sales in Europe
Sales in North America

Seeing who CJ is, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his fanbase ends up in North America and he ends up being stronger than he is showing now. Of course, that's what I'm HOPING for. But anyways, anybody got that info handy?

He's been making that push very slowly for a while now. Since he fell below 46% at least. It just looks sudden because he seems to have a thing for making .1% pushes and then staying deadlocked for a while before making another one.
