hmm.. it's possible, I suppose. I guess you could say the same thing about CATS, too. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

also, it's easy to make your day vote look good when your night vote is so so damn bad. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

CATS is a renowned night vote getter as well. Heck, he was able to get
the lead on Cloud for a few seconds and then proceed to get only 13%
after that. We know Crono doesn't have much of a day vote either. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Crono doesn't have much of a day vote? I wouldn't say he's a day vote
champion or anything, but he's definitely decent with the day vote. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

While Crono's not as bad as Magus and Frog with the day
vote, he still loses it more often than not. The only instances where I
can find that he won it were against other Square characters (Zidane
and Vincent). --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

didn't he hold his own against Mega Man? I remember thinking that Mega
Man had a chance to come back, but Crono just kept on increasing. Mega
Man is the kind of character I'd expect to have a decent day vote too. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Crono's lead kept increasing slowly but surely, but his percentage dropped. He had over 53% going into the day vote. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

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. Well, Ryu Hayabusa had a strong day vote as well, although you could say it was Jill having a strong night vote. I still say it had more to do with Ryu. Those voting trends were pretty well defined. --- *Is therealmnm* Proud Supporter of Mega Man X in Best. Series. Ever. Contest |

eh, not really. he was in the 51's by 06:20 PST and stayed there for
the rest of the match. I don't even think the day vote picks up until a
little bit later. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

That's 9:20 A.M. EST. Morning vote trends usually pick up around 8 A.M. EST or so, which is where he started to lose percentage. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Depends on how the matches go. I'd be willing to wager more perfects
have Kingdom Hearts, Sonic, and Resident Evil, respectively. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

well, Master Chief's "legendary day vote" doesn't usually pick up until
later, about 11am EST. though Crono/Mega Man was during the school
year, I think... --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

..but even then, if I remember Sonic/Mega Man right, the day vote
turned into an "afterschool vote", and that didn't hurt Crono at all. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

I think it's more KH's day vote being amazingly strong here, actually.
Halo's day vote is still strong (bigger than KH's I'd say, just some
anomaly in their matches). If you don't want to trust the contest
results, there's a bunch of other random polls were Halo/Xbox made some
sick percentage gains. --- "I didn't come to play, I came to win" - Kamahl, Pit Fighter. |

This match is not over yet!! Alucard has yet to make his move!! so, if KH wins this match, KH>MG bandwagon ahoy?

Alucard's plan failed. You could not possibly comprehend how the Plan works. Then again, neither can I, but I believe the basic idea is that in the event that Alucard must lose (which he inevitably will), he will lose to something that will get devoured in the next round. See: Mario/Cloud, Link/Ganondorf, OoT/Goldeneye, Snake/Sora. Metal Gear/KH will be similar - KH himself wants Metal Gear to win. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing.

This is only the beginning! That's what I said before, but then KH went and became a killjoy and scored a +76 update. Unless... The Plan is deep and full of twists indeed! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SpC2k6 (21/22) Halo v Kingdom Hearts |

heh, this match is just like Sora/Alucard. *goes to look*
Alucard bled percentage all the way until the poll closes now (12am

This is why the Captain won't let the Plan succeed! What kind of plan
is so needlessly complicated? A plan should be simple and easy to
remember! Like, say, beat Castlevania! Sounds like a good plan to me! And you're never left in doubt as to whether it worked or not! --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

still loses it more often than not. The only instances where I can find
that he won it were against other Square characters (Zidane and
