I think you people have to realize you cannot look at the times of the
past matches to predict. You have to look at the total votes. Frog had
a lead of 1400 after 15000 total votes were casted. CV only has a lead
of 950. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard? Just get back on your bike and keep pretending to be cool with your lame ass mohawk ****er. - phoenix1487 Sp2k6: 6/6 |

Ahh, 1003 vote lead for Castlevania. It's okay though. Halo's got it right where it wants them. That 10,000 vote swing is guaranteed. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

This match is on pace for a good 20,000 more total votes than Frog/MC, so that doesn't work terribly well either. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/RPGuy.jpg |

From: RPGuy96 This match is on pace for a good 20,000 more total votes than Frog/MC, so that doesn't work terribly well either. Exactly. Even a better opportunity for Halo to swing back. --- ...little Weezing it's gonna stand up against my ****in' Charizard?

with the vote starting so much earlier, I'm wondering if even Halo has
the day vote strength to come back. this is gonna be fun to watch
today. hopefully CV doesn't go that insane here. --- xyzzy |

Yeah, when you've got a smaller lead in a match that'll have more votes
and you're more likely to lose the day-vote than Frog...things don't
bode so well. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

I hope Castlevania rips it a new one. Makes my insane Sonic > SSB pick look a little better! Sure, none of you are going to see it that way, but whatever! --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

looking at the early results.. maybe board 8 bracket votes more than we thought? No, Board 8 just has less influence than before due to the earlier starting time. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

No, Board 8 just has less influence than before due to the earlier starting time. that doesn't explain Halo leading for the first minute and the first minute only though. I guess you can just call it an anomaly.. meh, not worth worrying about anyway. I'm torn here.. I want CV to win, but I also kinda want it to lose because I just didn't have the balls to pick it to win. I'm gonna kick myself if this is my only loss. --- xyzzy |

I was thinking about the whole "will there be perfects in this contest"
thing. It seems like Castlevania might very well be the thing that
screws with that possibility this time around, especially if it beats
KH. --- Need new sig. |

Not so! I have Castlevania on some of my alt brackets. Of course, the
trick is making it line up with the other "toss up" matches. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Guys, I think we're all missing the larger issue here: If Castlevania beats Halo, I will very likely have the lowest Guru contest score. Again. >_> --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

I find the lack of Halo faith in this topic disturbing. Yes, it's behind by more, that's because vote totals are up. Halo can easily turn a 3000 vote deficit, people! And with these %s I don't believe it'll even get that far! --- "I need a weapon." - Master Chief *Waves M$ flag* |
