it's stalling RE, but still not winning any updates. SF hasn't had any
time where it's managed to seriously cut RE's lead. all it had was that
150 or so vote cut in the late hours last night. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it! NORG WILL NOT GO DOWN SO EASILY |

Street Fighter would have to take off 38.6 votes every five minutes to
catch Resident Evil at this point. It just ain't happening. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

As much as I'm happy to see RE win, I was hoping it would be in a
legendary comeback, a-la what Jill Valentine failed to do in 04. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

Eh, the closer SF makes it the better... but I've given up hope on it winning... only Master Chief could turn this in 5 hours. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

When two or more individuals agree upon the interpretation and
experience of a particular event, a consensus about an event and its
experience begins to be formed. This being common to a few individuals
or a larger group, then becomes the 'truth' as seen and agreed upon by
a certain set of people until it is once again argued on GameFAQs in a
lame poll. Thus one particular group may have a certain set of agreed
truths, while another group might have a different set of truths that
have reached consensus. This lets different MMO communities and
societies have varied and extremely different notions of reality and
truth of the external world. The religion and beliefs of people or
communities are a fine example of this level of reality. This is well
expressed in the famous quote by some loser named Henry Thoreau, "It
takes two to speak the truth — one to speak and another to hear."
However, humans are fallible and are limited to individual experience.
Truth cannot simply be considered truth if one speaks and another can't
hear because individual bias and fallibility take away any assertion
that the idea of truth, itself, exists. Other views of truth assert that truth is that which is considered to be the supreme virtual reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence, regardless of subjective inference. Truth can not merely be discerned by deductive reasoning but can only be more deeply understood by inductive study and skepticism. --- mgo sn: RA1D3N "We're all born with an expiration date.

We're past Master Chief's supposed high time. He couldn't do anything now. StarCraft, on the other hand...Lopen, you know what I'm talking about. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Master Chief cares not for your "high time"! Master Chief can do anything!

SF took off 25 votes that time! That's almost 38.6 votes! And this is the second lead cut in a row! *sounds the comeback train* --- Angsty_Lou: Everything has a sexual connotation if you just look long and hard enough. Theo72: U SED LONG AND HARD LOL |

It'd have to take THAT much off with 5 hours left? Hmm... not probable, but possible. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

I don't think Street Fighter has taken that much off in ANY update,

so much for SF's brutal day vote, eh? it has basically
gone even with RE during the day vote. it's lost maybe .5% max if you
want to count the early morning. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it! NORG WILL NOT GO DOWN SO EASILY |

well, i must say - well done to steve illumina, SonicRaptor and
everyone else who picked Street Fighter. you guys were right about it
having a shot at Resident Evil. even with the horribly biased picture,
i still thought Resident Evil would break 60%. and even with a better
pic for RE, it seems doubtful that RE would have broken 55% anyways. so, even though you guys don't get the points, i tip my hat to you for your moral victory. *tips hat* --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Not really. Many of us called for a SF upset and a KH blowout. Relatively, it has happened. not after round 1. that match was dead even on the board and a sweep for the analysis. say what you will about the AC's record this year, but their logic was sound and people felt a lot more scared about KH than they did SF. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it!

Actually, I think it's safe to say that if RE didn't have a pic
worse than solid **** like it does now, Then it wouldn't be this close.
And also, Don't give me that crap on how pics dont matter in matches
like these. This is kind of comment I was trying to avoid yesterday in saying that the picture gives SF an edge. There is no way that this picture outweighs the addition of the most popular game of a match. New releases and appearances and especially extremely well-selling and popular games carry more strength than a picture advantage. Also, it is a definite exagerration to say this is on the level of Solid **** or Snake/Sora. In short, if RE 4 and a more fair match picture are both absent from this match, SF takes this at least 53/47. This is more than not SF's strength. --- SC2k6: 29/30 Perfect brackets left to leap: 69 Today: Bracket: Street Fighter Vote: Street Fighter |

I'm not surprised at all. Sure, I thought RE would win 55-45... but I never
agreed with people that always seem to write off Street Fighter. The
whole OMG SF2 LOST??!! thing seems to have tainted its image around
here or something. --- *Is therealmnm* Proud Supporter of Mega Man X in Best. Series. Ever. Contest |
