Remember, with this being Sunday night and all, a larger proportion of Mario supporters are asleep. Crono will look good during these night hours, but the morning and after school votes will absolutely waste him.

Everybody with a score of 34 or less got the match wrong.

And the -6 goes down! The -7s and -8s manage to go perfect. The -9s and -10s don't do so well, but the prediction percentage jumps up at the -11s into the mid-80s. After that it slowly fades.

9 people fell off the Top 50 today. harderbr, minerdog66, Mild_Guy, RPGlord95, clodelrath, KingBroly, McClellandD, JalapenoPower and for some reason ChronoTrigger7 didn't have Crono advancing to the finals.

ToC starts tommorow, that should shake things up quite a bit.

Crono's not going to get wasted during the day. Perhaps he'll lost quite a bit during the after school vote, but not during the day.

boy, this comeback is ever so slow. if Crono can't get a lead before morning, I can't see him doing so during the day vote, or at least the afterschool vote.

This poll is currently an amazing 500 votes behind Crono/Mega Man. It's clear that many voters are already asleep, and it's no secret who most of these people will vote for tomorrow. =P

Crono won't fall apart during the day, I'll guarantee that one. But he'll definitely need to get something of a lead tonight.

Mario is a beast with the morning, and the only two hours that Mega Man won were 6:00 and 7:00. There's going to be carnage when I wake up. <3

Crono's really hanging in there, you've gotta hand it to him. it looks like Mario > Crono > MM > Sonic > Snake this year.

If Mario doesn't blow Crono out, then I want a down to the wire nailbiter, right to the finish.

For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Mario vs Crono 2k4
0:25- Crono- 55.38%
End- Crono- 53.24%

Mario vs Crono 2k5
0:25- Crono- 48.66%

Not a good sign for Crono.

''If I were the rain that binds together the earth and sky, who in all eternity will never mingle, would I be able to bind the hearts of people together?''

Crono's really hanging in there, you've gotta hand it to him.

To a degree, yes, but I think Crono had a lead on him right now in their other three encounters...so, if that's the case, Crono deserves little credit for this.

2nd Place, Spring Contest 2005
World Champion: Gyruss, Mega Man X, Solstice, Super Mario World, Zombies Ate My Neighbors

When you consider that Mario has boosted, that there were a number of people just expecting Mario to take this with no trouble, and that everyone was knocking Crono for 'decreasing' he really does deserve some credit, regardless of previous performances.

---
“I think my burden has lightened… Maybe I dragged it along so much that it wore down.” – Cloud Strife

Crono will deserve some credit only if he keeps it this close. He didn't have a single match against a decent opponent that was really any good.
---

But this is his best time, and he's not leading yet. He really desrves little, if any, credit.

Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!?
Squall: ...Flower.

I was rather impressed with his victory over MM myself.
---
.

As we witnessed yesterday (and many times prior), the first 90 minutes of a match are Crono's strongest. He has to do more than this, especially since I'd go so far as to say that this is actually a stronger night vote than the one he received last night.
---
SC2K5 Guru Contest: Where _______ kicked my ass.

Mega Man is higher up than Samus is.

Y'know, I'm not thinking Crono dropped anymore. Despite the freaky stuff it does to Master Chief and some others. He's holding pretty well here, and he did beat Mega Man.

Here's to Mario getting a huge boost during the day to 58%... for Snake! Heh...

Yeah, beating Mega Man is easy.

And being the second strongest character in the main bracket? Cake.

He didn't have a single match against a decent opponent that was really any good.

His match against Mega Man wasn't against a 'decent' opponent? And it wasn't 'good'? That's ridiculous. Hell, there were people here who expected Crono to lose that one too. Really, he's been getting nailed with these rather absurd criticisms ever since his match against Master Chief. He WILL keep this close, even if he doesn't win.

---
“I think my burden has lightened… Maybe I dragged it along so much that it wore down.” – Cloud Strife

Bah, I phrased that poorly. He didn't have a single match against a decent opponent in an impressive fashion.

Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!?
Squall: ...Flower.

this is not the same Mario as the last three years - this is Mario on shrooms. this is Super ****ing Mario. if Crono can hang tight with him, I'll call it impressive even if it's his worst defeat yet against him.
---
.

Beating Megaman isn't easy, and he didn't make it look such.

He couldn't technically impress against Zidane (new), he did okay against Vercetti, he did awful against MC, he certainly didn't do well against Vincent, and he beat Megaman, who almost tied Sonic.
---
Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb

Crono did what was expected of him vs. TV, and if you believe MM's adjusted number then he did what was expected vs. him as well. if you consider that old Square has shown signs of decline and Nintendo has shown signs of increasing, I'd call his victory over MM very impressive.
---
.

So in conclusion, Crono beating Mario makes everyone Mario beat look like crap. XD

Man. If Crono can't even get the lead in the first night vote, I shudder to think the beating he'll end up taking by the end.

Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

Elite Eight, 2k4, against Link - Crono got 37.18% (and not before beating Mario first)
Final Four, 2k4, against Link - Mega Man got 32.39%

Yes, yes, SFF and all, though that's still controversial...but Crono beating Mega Man, while impressive due to his caliber, was still expected.
