This is Zelda's worst time, too. ...No, it's not. Zelda doesn't really have a bad time. It's pretty level all the way through. But if you want to talk trends, Metal Gear didn't cut into the percentage until a few hours in. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Man... everyone's acting like FF hasn't had the crappiest start to
contests ever throughout this. Mario lead for an entire hour and FF
still won by 10,000 votes. Yes LoZ is stronger, and very well may win
this, but damn, stop calling it. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

This is Zelda's worst time, too. ... Uh, it is not even remotely comparable to Final Fantasy in that respect. Final Fantasy was losing to Mario at this time and went on to beat it with 10,000+ votes. --- Give you 10G if you act like a chicken! Yes. No. |

I know FF always sucks early and all, but 560 votes in ten minutes?
This is going to get worse, a lot worse, before it gets better.
Assuming it even does get better for FF. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY) |

I'm fairly confident LoZ has this match won. Mario was considered an
underdog against a contest juggernaut so he got huge board support. Sure, LoZ might be an underdog to some extent, but Final Fantasy is the favorite in a contested match, and that type of entrant almost always does better or as well with the board vote than they do with the rest of the vote. Mega Man/Mario Kart is the only exception to this rule that I can think of. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

... Uh, it is not even remotely comparable to Final Fantasy in that
respect. Final Fantasy was losing to Mario at this time and went on to
beat it with 10,000+ votes. Mario's lead on Final Fantasy was also growing at a much, much slower rate. --- Founder of NGG's PC Gaming Elitists Club |

31-6 is superior just because of the Dark Knight Cecil Sprite. That was my favorite too. This is ridiculous... good lord. One more of those and I'm going to lose faith. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

From: KamikazePotato This is Zelda's worst time, too. Nintendo's best time is usually at the very beginning of the match. Lots of Board 8ers are voting at the beginning and this board is hugely in favour of Nintendo. --- Sp2k6: 60/64 Rank: Tied for 1018th Losses: Halo, GTA, SF Nominate Nidoran F and Yesterday's Pick: FF Today's Pick: FF CATS in the character contest! |

Mother ****er. I have a feeling not a single character we rallied for
is goign to get in now, with the nomination link where it is. Nearly
150,000 people are going to see that page, and be aware of nominations.

I was never exactly certain what the reason was for everyone's
certainty that FF would win, anway. Did it all come down to FFVII
beating OoT two years ago? If it did.... that's really awful reasoning,
and if it didn't, what was it that made you all so sure? --- Two Comps and a Tnote NOMINATE TANYA FROM RED ALERT! |

758 vote lead. at this rate, Zelda's lead will be over 2000 by the
first hour. and if you think that Zelda is losing the day vote to FF,
then you have gone bonkers. --- please NOMINATE BAHAMUT!!! or i will eat your soul. |

So Flamboyant what you are telling me is, the more popular characters
are going to get in a contest that is essentially a popularity contest

Dammit. I missed only two points this contest. >_< Halo > CV
was my own gut getting the match wrong, but this effing board convinced
me to pick Mairo Kart. Erm, I mean, only two points if Zelda keeps this up. It's still up in the air. --- This space reserved for a new sig. |

"I have a feeling not a single character we rallied for is goign to get in now, with the nomination link where it is." I have a feeling that's why Ceej changed the way nominations worked.
