Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

Oh, and the question I ask before I depart (HaRRicH style): Is FFX doomed to have another "close" match where the winner is seemingly in control from wire-to-wire? Looks like it right now. Here's hoping Auron bucks the trend.

Auron took off 17 votes that time! Huzzah! I've really gotta go to bed now, or I never will...

yeah, this match is 50-50 now. good to see we've got a match here. unfortunately for Auron, this is probably his strongest time, and not a lot of votes are coming in.

Well we all know contest lore is just that (except GFNW, obviously, that is fact), but at this rate, I could easily see either that or Auron getting the lead and running away with it.

I need to put something here.

FF10 does seem to have a lot of respectable losses - Rikku, Yuna, now Auron. I think Ganon is the heavy favourite right now, but Auron still has a chance. I wouldn't put a 500 vote deficit at 01:42 past anyone.

the "Europe vote", or whatever you want to call it, has definitely started, as Auron is chipping away at the lead. they must like FF10 more than us over there, because every FF10 character increases right around this time.

Go Auron. Is this "comeback" too little, or will it continue throughout the day?

Yuna stopped her "night gain" at about 4:45 into the match. If this match is any similar, Auron needs to have the lead within the next three hours. I'm not buying what's being thrown around in this topic; there's no way I feel he takes the morning or day vote from Ganondorf.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Ganon up 13.

I think it's too little.. but voting trends don't always hold up. we will see.
---
http://picturesofwalls.com

I never said Auron would significantly take the day vote. By all means, the Ganon/Yuna matchup was FAIRLY steady thoughout the day. The percentages shifted from Ganondorf to Yuna's favor, but it wasn't by much. The percentages still hovered within 1-2%.

http://www.geocities.com/lettucekefka/

this thing is deadlocked. Ganon just can't get to 500.

I've been reloading this thing since 00:05. I need a life, along with some sleep. before I go, I'll say that we should get a nice read on Auron's strength, even though we'll have to go through either 2k3 Ganon or Sp2k5 Ganon, depending on which you trust. it looks like Seph SFFed him by about 4-5%.

..whoa, and Auron just freaking destroyed Ganon in that update. now I have to stay up to see the next one. stupid contest.

wow, what a weird five minute update that last one was. Ganon back up 21.

I wonder why this is a good 1700 votes behind Ganondorf/Yuna. Did school really start for that many people?

I guess it did.

well, I imagine part of it is the downtime during the first five minutes.. but not all of it. school definitely did start for some, though; it'll be interesting to see where the votes suddenly decline. my guess would be after labour day.
---
http://picturesofwalls.com

I'm guessing that the poll starting a bit late had a small effect on it. Plus factoring in that with school starting, fewer people are staying up late to vote in the poll...
---

Well, keeping it interesting. Glad to see it can still live up to the hype.

man is that 02:10 update weird - this match went right back to its normal trend after that 48 vote gain by Auron. now that the match is back to being boring, I'm goin' to bed. nite all.
---

oh, and it's a good damn match - just that nothing's happening right now. not everything can be deadlocked for hours like CT/LTTP.

Ironically enough, CT/LTTP started out pretty much just like this.

Nor can you expect them to deadlock this early. But still... Ganon hasn't gained an inch since I got home an hour and a half ago and there's the chance that Auron takes home the day vote.
---
Now Link, fill up your hearts

The difference there was that CT had the early lead. Right now, Auron is at a clear disadvantage. You don't want to be lagging behind a Nintendo character heading into the day vote. I hope he can pull this out, but...right now, I've got my doubts.
