Tommy has surpassed 47%...it'll hard for him to gain any more percentage without winning the vote

Summer 2005 Contest -- Current Score: 17/18
Today's Prediction -- Kefka vs. Tommy Vercetti

Hah! Kefka just broke 1,100 again. He can do this all day long for all I care. Staying 50/50 with Vercetti throughout the day would be a moral victory for Kefka given his past history.

If a new GTA game is released eventually, wonder if even Gordon will have a shot of beating TV even.

3rd 15 minute win for Vercetti:

Kefka: 386

I believed in Kefka...and he's winning! OMG!

I have a long-day today so I can't actually see any part of this match until the very late in the night. (ironically, I was all day here yesterday and the match sucked hard) I can only hope Kefka mantains the lead.
---
That's right. Cloud N. Candy would get a NEGATIVE percentage, and RPGuy's extrapolated calculator would crash. - therealmnm

I had Kefka over Vercetti, 53/47 when I was considering this match. If it maintains as such, I will be both pleased and frustrated. I like being right, but I hate picking Kefka to win.

Vercetti has fairly consistently been getting just over 50% of the vote for about a half hour now. Not by much, but it's a start. Whatever happens kefka won't be winning this by any more then 250 votes if he even wins it at all.

Even if Vercetti does win, the damage has been done. He looks rather pathetic now at the moment, to be struggling against Kefka when he did reasonably well against Mega Man before.

Kefka wouldn't do much better than Vercetti against Megaman. Maybe avoid the doubling, but that's it.

Ooh this better not turn into a classic. I leave for the airport in about seven hours, and I would like to see Kefka have it in hand by then.

I wouldn't say the damage has been done yet. We aren't even done with the morning vote yet and kefka is showing signs of slipping. If he's losing a small amount of his lead to vercetti now, then I can't imagine him going 50/50 with him during the day when vercetti should be a bit stronger, and kefka well be at his weakest.

Kefka is not slipping whatsoever. He's been keeping his lead well above 1000 for... forever.

Tommy is now only 1050 behind.

Considering that Tommy is about to enter his best stage, I would say that Kefka is slowly starting to fall apart.

Vercetti is not swinging 1,000 votes anytime soon. Bias is a great thing, though.

Like I said, it's not much but vercetti is taking in slightly over 50% of the votes. In the last 45 minutes he's knocked 50 votes off of kefka's lead. Nothing spectacular, but he's the fact that he's been slowly taking off kefka's vote consistently does show as a sign of weakness for kefka.

Vercetti is not swinging 1,000 votes anytime soon.

Obviously, but on the same token kefka's lead isn't going to be doing any increasing either. Just because vercetti isn't taking off 100 votes an update doesn't mean he's not doing something to kefka's lead. He's been picking up the pace slowly as well. Kefka isn't going to roll over and die, but he isn't going to keep his lead at anything remotely safe.

I have a bad feeling that Kefka's lead my last no longer than a few more hours. That, and we may see him down by a few thousand at the end of the day.

He hasn't started coming back at all. When I fell asleep it hadn't cracked 800. Now its past 1,000. Break out the champagne glasses, Kefka's taken this one home.

In the last hour kefka has lost nearly 100 votes off of his lead. That's called coming back, even if he isn't winning or going to win at all (which he still can).

1,000 vote lead for a second time. If vercetti brings him under for a few minutes maybe people well finally realize that kefka isn't splitting it 50/50, and is indeed taking in slightly under 50% of the votes.

Here, let me do some digit-for-digit math for you, starting from the ones.

8 - 7 = 1

3 - 3 = 0

5 - 5 = 0

1 - 0 = 1

1001. He used to be so much higher. Soon, under 1000. It's over.

Kefka is dropping the lead ridiculously fast.

Remember what happened with kefka vs. knuckles? biggest turn-around I've ever seen. Now, Vercetti is not nearly as strong as Knuckles, but I still feel quite uneasy with my pick of Kefka at this point. Today might be my last day having a perfect bracket...

Well, from here till the end, Knuckles went from 54.27% up to 57.46%. If TV gains that much he wins easily. Knuckles also gained more than 10000 votes, which would be more than enough to give TV the lead.

TV is gaining back the votes faster than Kefka was building it up

It's not the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

TV might not be even clsoe to knux, but he should be able to gain at least a tenth of that, which is all he would need to win.

Knuckles won the day vote from Snake also. It has to be remembered that Tommy is no Knuckles.

Chipping away 50 votes every hour aganist fodder is far from convincing.

And for comparison with Kefka's Spring matches:

Mithos gained 2.3%
Wesker gained .2% (Angel Kefka)
Diablo gained 2.6%

And just for good measure, Doom gained .3% on FFVI, and LttP gained 1.2%.

So, if Vercetti's as good with the day vote as Mithos or Diablo, he takes it.

You need to remember percentage is a bad thing to go off of, because the spring contest has very low vote totals, and the further up you get in percentage the more it takes to gain, although that part is still relevent because it shows how kefka always chokes with the day vote.

Heh, so all these damn posts are what I get for goin' to bed a lil' earlier than I should have. Here's to praying there's not even more when I get back home from work...if Vercetti makes the comeback though, this is gonna need another topic, heh.

Until then though...go Vercetti go. I'm little more than indifferent to both Vercetti and Kefka, so bracket all the way.
