At Castlevania's current pace, it should break the 3000-vote barrier by morning. But MC/DK swung by a lot more than that. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Casuals are notorious for picking Halo and NOT picking Castlevania. What a dangerous combination for the casuals. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

That was towards the end of the polls back then -- it's now the very
beginning of polls, so CV's number SHOULD be much higher. Then again
though, one would hope earlier poll times would help Halo out more than
this too right now...but it's also too early to tell. Yeah, I know. I can't tell which factor is more important - it's early and more Halo types will be awake (plus board bracket votes - clearly the reason Halo lead initially), or if this is really just like the first night vote, which I would expect CV to take. What I'm really going for is to see if CV is winning during Halo's strong time, but it seems to be mixed there. Frog was gaining minimally on MC, but MC was gaining minimally on DK, and Sora was gaining a bit on Alucard, too. It's really rather hard to draw a conclusion from that. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

Let's fill this up in 3 hours gogogo guys! And if CV breaks 3000 by morning, then we'll need a new vote-barrier. --- Moltar Status: #37 on the Leaderboard!! Castlevania vs. Halo - Bracket: Halo - Vote: Halo (6/6) |

This was 99-34 in the BOP, which basically amounts to 75-25. Is the casual spread bigger than that, you think? --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

Okay, MC/DK swung by 3600 votes. With the inflated vote totals of this
cotnest, CV will need to hold a 4000+ lead throughout the afternoon to
be safe. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Yeah, I would assume this new time would make the night vote more prominent. How many casuals are really up and ready to vote at midnight? /// *Stares at FFVA game info with bloodshot eyes* Release date... Coming... |

Nah, this isn't Halo/StarCraft, and CV has the higher seed. It's probably a third for CV. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

I'm not exactly sure here... but isn't Halo pretty damn popular in
Europe? I know for the old poll time it would have been 8 AM for GMT.
Now it's 5 AM when it first starts, this would only increase the
strength of Halo's morning/day vote, no? --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

How many casuals are really up and ready to vote at midnight? The rest of America would be 9, 10, and 11 PM. Of COURSE this new time makes the night vote more casual. Which really hurts Halo. --- Xbox 360 melts disks! And people made jokes about the PS3 being a grill. ~bokunokuso |

Does the higher seed really matter when it's Halo vs. Castlevania?
Honestly, the casuals aren't going to look at the seeding (heck, there
wasn't actually seeding on the bracket entry anyway) in this scenario. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Actually it's a 500 vote lead. Looks like CV's giving Halo a big challenge for its AWESOME DAY VOTE to overcome. --- Xbox 360 melts disks! And people made jokes about the PS3 being a grill. ~bokunokuso |

How many casuals are really up and ready to vote at midnight? Have you noticed the votals? Much higher than the 3 AM start time, which means many more people are awake and voting. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

Now it's 5 AM when it first starts, this would only increase the
strength of Halo's morning/day vote, no? I completely forgot about Europe most likely not being there for the start of the poll now. Halo starting its day vote eaaaarrrrly in the morning? Works for me! --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Obviously the board vote favors CV a lot. It was pretty split, actually, if not favoring Halo. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I might remind you that Master Hand swung almost 6000 votes in a match
