KH slowly building the lead - not at the rate it was doing before, though.

I was kind of hoping this downtime was to do with stuffing, but alas, no dice.

Depending on the magnitude of any potential cheating, this could be over anyway.

Slowly? It's built a lead of 300 in half an hour. It took CV 2 and a half hours to do the same.

Steve has SF beating RE. Forget him

Sorry Tai, but to quote White Goodman..

"We're better than you, and we know it!"

And yes...SF will take out RE. But first, Sonic will dispatch the pride of the kiddies, SSBM on Sunday! This is the one that will break 2/3 of the perfects and propel me to my leaderboard glory...finally!

half an hour = 6 updates = 300 vote lead = 50 votes up per update. 50 votes is not as strong as it was going before, when it was getting 60-70+ per update, sometimes in the 100s.

What I laugh at is the cheating cries every time there is a close match.

Yep I am sure there is a cult of vampires out there stuffing the ballot box. And a crowd of Disney Kids doin the same thing.

Good thing I got stock in Kleenex...tissue sales will be high all week...mmm hmmm yah.

Not til Monday do you get the full analysis...laced with my own brand of biting satire... :)

But I will give you a tidbit to chew on: Fighting games fans like me have been itching for years to make their mark on this site in the contests. Against FF, Zelda, and Mario and the like they never ever will...but against overseeded RE, they have their chance. I am not the only one who sees this upset becoming a reality...but it will be so in mere days. Sure RE has fans, but SF has Asia, Europe, and urban America to lead it to victory. The arcade demographic shall have one last hurrah...by the one game series that made arcades great again for one last multi-year run, until they were overrun by dance games and 87 versions of skee-ball.

RE is too niche to beat the worldwide appeal of SF.

HADOKEN!

I think reports of Halo's legendary day vote have been exaggerated. Sure, Master Chief had a huge comeback against Frog, but come on...Frog has one of the worst day votes we've ever seen. Sure, he had a huge comeback against Donkey Kong, but despite being Nintendo, DK's day vote sucks. DK let Duck Hunt do about the same thing to it. He lost the day vote to Sam Fisher and barely did anything with it against Vivi. StarCraft's day vote is hardly spectacular either, though in part due to its monstrous night vote.
