I don't think Kerrigan is going to be all that strong, but Vincent vs. Kerrigan might get a lot of votes despite not being a close match, just because the fanbases are so different.

Magus vs. Knuckles might, but given Magus' history, I doubt it. Ganon vs. Tidus got more votes than Ganon vs. Magus despite being a first round match.

I could very well see Kerrigan vs. Vincent having very high vote totals. I'm actually really looking forward to that match. I really have absolutely no idea what will happen in it -- I could see Vincent getting 70% of the vote, I could see him getting 45% of the vote. It's the only first round match-up where I really have absolutely no idea what'll happen, even if I think Vincent will win.

Mario's Path to Victory: Round 2 - (4) Ness

We know that non-Angel Kefka is pretty bad with the day vote. But what about Vercetti?

Against Kite: No data that I can find.
Against DK: http://www.thengamer.com/gamefaqs/03Summer/TommyVsDKupdates.txt
More or less tied, from what I can see. And DK lost the day vote to both Fisher and Vivi, neither of which are particularly good with it.

Against Max Payne: http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=1728
There's a very small spike in the afternoon vote, to the tune of a quarter of a percent. But before noon and after school both went to Max.

Against Zero: http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=1755
Lost about a percent and a half throughout the day vote. I'm fairly certain that Zero is generally pretty good with the day vote (IIRC, he won it against Mega Man), so it's not that bad.

And Ness won the day vote against CJ, too. Looks like Vercetti isn't going to be making any massive comebacks, if you ask me.

He doesn't really need to make a massive comeback. What did Kefka lead with Knuckles 200 votes or something?

i'm saying that if Kefka builds up a lead of 1000 before sunrise, then Vercetti's not gonna pull off the comeback.

Sadly, I don't think I saved them. And I'm pretty sure Kefka was 4th, behind the big three.

Happiness is like peeing on yourself. Everyone can see it, but only you feel it's warmth.

This is absolutely pathetic. God I hate GTA and it's failure.

I really do think Kefka has this in the bag...he was doing much worse against Diablo and Knuckles at this time. It seems Vercetti really has dropped.
