You have DK winning with a 60% victory? I got different. (I'm using
DK's 2k4 value, not adjusting Vivi for SFF, since Vivi wasn't, anyway.)

I've noticed that the characters that people have actually heard of are
winning, and it pains now that I used x-stats logic instead of common
sense to pick the winners.

I tend to trust 2003 DK better just because. Donkey Kong just... really
shouldn't have bombed that badly on Vivi. I don't know what the hell
happened there. It just seemed so wrong.

Though, again, it was just fun with math, just to see what I'd come up
with, maybe we can finally see what happened when DK goes up against
Crono (Assuming DK wins now)

One more thing though, anothe reason why I think DK's 2k4 value is more accurate is because of his match with Sam Fisher.

Vercetti or Master Chief. Who wins?
i'd definitely take the Cheif. Vercetti's first year was undoubtedly his strongest, and DK looks to have increased since 2K3, so i would say that MC's performance will wind up better, even if he narrowly loses. plus, MC looks like he will stick around longer than Vercetti with Halo 3 on the horizon.
also, i don't know why people are bashing the x-stats on today's match. the 2K3 stats predicted MC to win with just over 51% and the Nintendo increase could easily shift that the few points DK needs it to.
oh, and if DK manages to blow this one after building an 1800 vote lead, he truly will have gained his place in contest infamy as the biggest choke artist of all-time.

However, if he constantly cuts it by 9 and 10 for the next few hours,
THEN I could see a slower comeback than the one against Frog taking him
to victory.

well, in the last 35 minutes, MC has gone from 45.18% to 45.71% and he
just cut DK's lead by 13 again after DK went up a total 66 votes. if MC
starts winning updates consistently now, he can pull this off.

If this is a "barrier", it's definitely the best one we've seen in some time.

I be damned...come on MC, you had friggin' Halo 2 on your side!!!
Remember all the talk many of us had about you being in the
near-elites? Yeah, we were talkin' about YOU, dip****, and we never
once seriously considered you losing to somebody weaker than you in 2k3.
Now, granted, I like DK too so there's no shame in a fairly-close loss like this...but MC is a choke-artist of massive proportions if he actually does lose this.
I've gotta ask: after today's match, how does everybody feel about the MC/Felix match in 2k3?

MC goes up against Tanner, I'm thinking Tanner ends up with 20% of the
vote. Being actively reviled by a good portion of the population
continues to hurt Chief here.
Vote rallying may not even be able to save him, as Donkey Kong has some sort of passing appeal to practically anyone, unlike Frog. If you haven't played Chrono Trigger (easy when you're off-site), then voting MC over some dumb Frog is pretty easy to do.
