FINALLY got the Kefka vote in... NTL's been stupid all day and I can access the whole internet apart from here. Vercetti's chipping away and might be able to make it up, but I hope not for my bracket's sake.

See, Sir Crono, there is a difference between an obvious match and a close match.

Donkey Kong vs Sam Fisher = Obvious Match

Kefka vs Vercetti = Close Match

Well I did, but apparently when I was making my last minute changes, I shifted (or thought I did) Vercetti to Kefka. Apparently, I found a way to change Vercetti to empty.

It was initially completely filled out. It has the red-lettering at the bottom letting you know it is not completely filled out, however I didn't even bother checking to make sure my entry was 'complete,' as I had only changed Alucard to Sora, and Tommy to Kefka.

Doesn't bother me too much. I am confident I will not finish in the top 10 regardless of how things go, and even if I would have, I really am not in dire need of free money. Sure, it would be nice, but I have never had any problems with creating a gaming budget.

We've been between 400 and 500 votes since 11:00. If Vercetti wants to do something, he should probably start.

This match is both very exciting and ridiculously predictable at the same time, for the time being.

It's like 400 - 450 - 400 - 470 - 430 repeat, repeat, repeat.

The day vote has more or less gone 50/50, though. Vercetti raped Kefka between 9:00 and 11:00...that's not quite the day vote.

Shades of when Tommy was stuck at 800, he couldn't get under 800 or over 850 or so for more then one update at a time. Then the dam broke all of a sudden. Think it can happen again?

More to the point, if the 400 barrier is going to go like the 800 barrier, it will go in the next 3-4 updates.

I just can't see him pulling it out this late. It'll be interesting to see if he does, but barring a massive push, I think it's just about over. Then again, what do I know?

I love this match. Really close, and I'm happy either way. (my bracket says Vercetti, but my heart says Kefka... I know, touching, isn't it?) Anyway, I'm thinking Vercetti snagging the second night vote might not be an impossibility. This one's gonna be tough to call all throughout unless either Kefka or Vercetti make a huge push.
