Looks like Alucard's pulling away as bracket voting becomes less of a factor.

I can see Alucard building himself a nice lead by day and then watch the madness as Sora tries to crawl back.

I need to put something here.

Sora took the early board vote, but it seems like Alucard is going to have a slight advantage with the night vote overall (up by 51 votes at last glance). Of the matches in the feared gauntlet, it looks like this one is going to deliver in terms of a close vote.

Damnit, I'm gonna miss the morning because I'll be asleep and the afternoon/evening due to band camp =/

Alucard better make this win decisive so I don't miss anything >_>

Sora won't get a very strong day vote so if Alucard can pull away now it's pretty much over.

Everybody with a score of 9 or lower got the match wrong. The top two tiers did pretty poorly on this match. The prediction percentage suddenly increased for the -2s then decreases as you go down the line.

19 people fell off the Top 50 today. Just_Jeff, JackFrost187, tehvictordeux, Grevlin, PsychWardMike, jambaman, PayLessReturns, Zeththro, lavalava1, dabulls04, Frank_Friter, degaust46, shawnaus17, Blackmage91, Kepu, KB_Powerhead, joepilzD, Zander_1248 and PenguinLancer did not have Solid Snake winning.

It's matches like these that make me hate the 5 min update. I want to see what's happening second by second :P.

Alucard won't exactly have a strong day vote either. I'd wager Sora's will be better.

Im kind of wondering where this Sora dominates the day vote comes from. I think he lost it versus Ryu Hayabusa of all people.

I know I'm just saying that Sora won't exactly destroy Alucard with the day vote

Nope, he gained, and that same Hayabusa took it from Zero. In any event, this might be one of the few instances where the phrase "taking the day vote" won't result in a semantical argument! Huzzah!
---

Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna

I think it's because Alucard is pretty bad with the day vote, not because Sora is great with it. average is better than bad, which is what Alucard is.

Hayabusa did make a big surge in the day-time against Jill TWICE, and I think he knocked down Zero a lil' bit too (not sure on that part though).

Sora will definitely take the day vote. Alucard's notorious with it.

What are you talking about? Sora got the day vote against Ryu Hayabusa, and Ryu H has the XBOX vote behind him. Didn't you see what he did to Jill Valentine?

My mistake. I meant -3s not -2s

Ryu H. is an Xbox character, so I'd expect him to do rather well with the day vote.

I checked and he did gain but it really wasnt by much. Winning the day vote versus Zero isnt exactly a big feat either.

come on Alucard at this rate Sora is going to beat you because of the day vote.

If Sora doesn't win this match, I would be shocked. He's going 50-50 with Alucard right now.

Stop sounding like a bunch of elites who knows how this match will go. Alucard has his plan, there's nothing we can do about the plan.

Sora's certainly goin' toe-to-toe with Alucard in his peak-time. Although Sora's little more than average with the day-vote, I still expect him to take it and take it enough to win...but this one should stay close. Real close.....

Actually, winning the day vote versus Zero seems to be no feat at all. He split it with Lloyd and LOST it to Protoman.

Yeah, I think this is Sora's match to lose at this point, but at least it won't be decided within the first 30 minutes for once.

In any case, should be a good match... the first one in the round that wasn't decided real quick.

I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

You forget that Protoman owns you, your blood-relatives, and any pets you ever came across.

yeah, seeing these results I'd predict Sora with at least 53%. maybe I'm selling Alucard short, I dunno.

Yes, Protoman indeed owns.

What's wrong with Zero losing the day vote to Protoman? They ARE from the same series... and it was a blowout anyways. Pretty easy for Zero to lose percentage there.
---

I think it'll stay within 52-48 myself. Sora's day vote won't be THAT good.

Zero is actually very weird with the day vote. Loses it to Protoman and Ryu. Splits with Lloyd and Tommy V (who proved that he really isnt a master of the day against Kefka). But he won it versus Mega Man?!?
