Funny how the Halo games/series are supposed to be much stronger than Master Chief, yet Halo keeps on losing first round while MC's always a big contender for the sweet 16.

And Halo has now gotten 3 consecutive decent updates, with an increase in votes per update. The start of the day vote at last? I think the fact that it is Saturday morning may be delaying the morning vote a little bit.

Fedors topic is definitely the best on the board right now. Combine a hated user, intentional trolling, racial slurs, and making light of lots of death and hilarity ensues.

Almost 6,000 vote lead, eh? Well, I guess this will thoroughly test how strong is the Halo day vote, and how weak is the Castlevania day vote. Yeah, Halo probably won't even get this under 3,000. Ooh well. So long as Kingdom Hearts II wins this division, I still have a decent bracket. Stupid Alucard.

I think Castlevania is finally slowing down. It's last five updates have been in the 20-30 range.

awwww...... it got moderated. Dammit, that topic was just getting good too.

And wtf halo. Do something to partially redeem yourself you worthless bastard. Losing the day vote to CV does NOT make you look any better!

Yeah. Castlevania's starting to slow down -- currently at 5,624 vote lead. But it has already been impressive enough that there's not much reason for worry. I think Fire Emblem started kicking in with the day vote, or at least morning vote, a bit sooner than this.

You'll have to give it time. Today is Saturday, ya know.

CV is starting to slow down, so something is starting.

Still, even this seems kind of big to fully overcome...

It's also a saturday though. Don't weekends usually generate a day vote much, much later?

Halo is looking really pathetic. I've decided to look at this another way though this makes CV look really damn good!

Castlevania > KH!!!!!!!

I hope Halo makes enough of a comeback to knock Castlevania down around 4% or so. I need a good Oracle pick to recover from coming in last place during yesterday's match.

Well, you figure with something as monstrous with the day vote as Halo would start sooner than later against something that has a crappy day vote, at least according to many people's expectations.

But, hey, the later Halo starts means the less time it has to complete the comeback, and with the lead already at nearly 6,000 votes ...

People are still talking about a comeback? I don't think anything could come back from this hole, and CV isn't showing the same weakness to the day vote as alucard. wtf nintendofaqs.

If CV keeps this up it might have been underseeded... holy crap.

In all seriousness though I don't think I can make an accurate guess on how many will be knocked off, but good luck getting on MM. I fully expect the zero brackets to be the only ones where the majority gets the match right. That's not a good thing in their case though.

Question: Do you think edouble will be #1 on the leader board after this?

Oh, he has always had the power to be a monster during the day, but he just didn't want to use it! Remember, he's trying to be a nice guy to his opponents!! Word is he hates Master Chief, so you know!

(It would have been one great pick if Alucard had actually beaten Sora last year. That would have, like, put me in the Top 50! >>)
