DK could very well make this close!

Dk is up by 39

Oh my... if DK wins this, I may just forget how to breathe.

Aaaaand DK goes up.

Wow. Doubt DK can survive the day vote, but it'll be awesome if he pulls this off.

That was strange. Maybe DK actually has a shot at winning?

continue your streak of 2nd round close matches!!!

Pity we don't have any data from 2k3. I'd be interested to hear how this and the beginning of DK vs. Vercetti compared.

Course, in 2k3, we still had matches satarting at 1 AM. Miss those days.

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

It'd be funny if this ended up like MC/Frog...

I said yesterday it would be hilarious if Master Chief ended up winning by 7 votes this time. Continuing DK's streak of screwing up close matches.

Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about...

C'mon DK!

If DK wins, my favorites bracket will be beating me by 5 points.

I will die laughing if my favorites bracket ends up winning a prize (too bad I didn't send one in)

Keep that lead Monkey Man!

Hey DK *might* get the day vote, it's not like Felix, Aeris, Crash, Frog or CATS were good with it.

That ok, because Frog had about 60% at this point...

and no, it's not a completely different situation.

If DK wins, it'll be a huge bracket buster. It looks like Master Chief is one of the leading favorites to win the contest among the casuals. *sigh*

I booked DK with 53% in the last topic.

OH LORD, LET IT BE.

MC swung 3000 votes with the day vote (even with the site which couldn't have helped him by no more than 300 votes) against one of the weakest characters with it, I say if DK can break 2000 before the day vote comes it's over.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~Old Klingon Proverb

Even if DK loses this, Nintendo has still gained quite a bit since last year. I'm surprised DK is in the lead right now, considering how extremely weak he is.

ANOTHER increase for DK.

DK increases yet again. As many people predicted, the match directly following the gauntlet may indeed be more exciting than all five gauntlet matches combined.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

First upset in the contest I can really get behind... if the Kong can hold on.

This is just so wrong.

I'm starting to seriously wonder if you and I were created by some sort of cunning plan to be complete opposites in all ways. Don't think we've rooted for the same characters more than five times this whole contest.

...I'm you! I'm your shadow!

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

IF YOU BELIEVE THEY PUT A MAN ON THE MOON, A MAN ON THE MOON, vote Donkey.

Go Kong, Go Kong, Go Kong!

Mario is Winnar
Next victim: Master Zero

It may have been a character who was weak with the day vote, but it was also a character that went on to get 48 on Snake. And Frog was obviousy much stronger with the night vote than DK, so if MC could recover from Frog's night vote, it will be a walk in the park to recover from DK's lame attempt.

Yup.
---
Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~Old Klingon Proverb

Up until the last update, which was real good for DK, I would've said Master Chief was still the clear favorite. Now it's more dicey.

But by no means is this match over. I still think MC has at least a 50/50 shot to win.

Hmm. Vercetti and MC should be similar enough in the sort of voters they tend to draw on... I just can't see MC coming back from this with the day vote.

I think we've got another upset on our hands. The x-stats are not having a very good contest.

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

Vercetti has never done that well with the day vote. MC's/Halo's track record is good.

MC has yet to face anyone good witrh the day vote.

Hmm. Vercetti and MC should be similar enough in the sort of voters they tend to draw on... I just can't see MC coming back from this with the day vote.

That sounds ok at face value, but, no, not really. They're on different systems, which is enough right there, really, and Halo is a shooter, GTA is not.
