Why the hell did Zelda have to go and get that huge update a little bit ago?! ;.; --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

I am hoping and praying that this is all the morning vote is... because
if FF can SPLIT the day vote with Zelda... there may still be hope. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

While it's nice trying to see FF coming back, I can only imagine when
the morning/day vote comes in, FF is going to get crushed. -( --- Ahem! There's LETTUCE on my boots! Nominate the Midgar Zolom for SC2K6 |

No, but it's not really that necessary to comment on every little

And we have now reached the point where Zelda decided to start gaining
on Metal Gear, which it continued doing until the end of the match.
From here on out, every update FF wins should feel like more and more
of an accomplishment. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Projected result 8:00: Legend of Zelda: 27,144/51.39% Final Fantasy: 25,666/48.61% Lead of 1478 Total: 52,810 Actual result Legend of Zelda: 27,357/51.33% Final Fantasy: 25,935/48.67% Lead of 1422 Total: 53,292 Seems voting picked up a bit so my votals are lagging. I'll adjust the rest of the totals by an equal amount. FF was understimated a bit, but all in all, not too bad. Of course, that was just a projection of 2 hours into the future. Things start falling apart for the next 4 hours >_> Here are the new future projections. Wheee 12:00: Legend of Zelda: 42,080/51.72% Final Fantasy: 39,282/48.28% Lead of 2798 Total: 81,362 16:00 Legend of Zelda: 58,403/51.87% Final Fantasy: 54,193/48.13% Lead of 4210 Total: 112,596 20:00 Legend of Zelda: 70,376/51.52% Final Fantasy: 66,224/48.48% Lead of 4152 Total: 136,600 24:00 Legend of Zelda: 79,189/51.16% Final Fantasy: 75,598/48.84% Lead of 3591 Total: 154,787 --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I do hate how this happened like clockwork, too. After inspection, I'm
thinking Castlevania/Halo was the exception, not the norm. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

The exception in that Halo couldn't drum up a dramatic day vote shift.
Yes, it did *better* during the day, but Master Chief was arguably more
impressive during a blowout (MC/Crono) than that match. It defied
expectations. This match is just looking to parallel Link/Cloud 2k5. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

| Theoretically how long does the morning period last? Still anything can happen during the day/evening. |

From around now to a little around noon, from how I've observed it. That means FF is in for a long, long haul. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Castlevania's % from 3:00 to 9:00: 58.98% Castlevania's % from 9:00 to 15:00: 53.63% There was definitely a pretty sizable swing in that match. Problem is, when you're getting 59% before the day vote, it's going to take a lot more than that to make any progress. Even if Castlevania had failed as badly as Alucard in the day, I don't think Halo could have made up the difference. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

| Zelda is showing no signs of running away right now. Comeback victory is still within reach if FF can just minimize the damage until evening hours... |

Oh, it was a nice day vote swing on its own, it just wasn't...MC-style. Perhaps we expected too much out of it, obviously. And let's say it wasn't the exception. Great! That means the whole contest had predictable voting trends. How exciting! --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

Oh certainly Master Chief is more impressive. I'm just saying that even
though Halo wasn't as good as MC and CV wasn't as bad as Alucard, it
still followed predictable trends --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

And although I typically view the morning vote as 'over', at noon, that
doesn't mean that Zelda will stop gaining there, it just means that it
won't be *as* much. Cloud didn't start taking back votes against Link
until, very, very, late on. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

FF is just stalling right now while Zelda makes the consistent gains,
and it's going to get worse as the time goes on. For comparison, Link
had less of a lead over Cloud this many hours into the match than Zelda
does over FF. Now, you've got to factor in higher votals and the fact
that Zelda has less percentage, but also keep in mind that this poll
started 3 hours eariler. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

FF will win updates here. Cloud did, too. But Zelda will be the more consistent over time. And yes, the anti-voting made this match far less interesting. Zelda's biggest 15 minute update was its very first one, where it got a gain of 636 votes. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

FF stalls, and Zelda gets its massive gain. All too familiar. I'm out. Here's hoping the lead isn't over 6000 when I get back. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I don't know how people can call the entire contest rubbish except for
this match. Sure there's been a great deal of predictable matches, but
there's been clear cut upsets, a fair few matches that have raised
eyebrows, and a decent number of close matches that were moderately
exciting. Just because Zelda has crushed everything doesn't make it
dull. Oh yeah, Zelda's going like a train now. Could be over 2000 very shortly but any point of no return will have to be bigger than usual given the huge votals. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Phoenix Wright, Jill Valentine, The Boss, Ada Wong, Celes, Lyndis, Morrigan, Guru TBA, 1 TBA |

Gah, Final Fantasy's collapsing now. I'm tired of the Nintendo
domininance on this site and especially this bored. Considering that
the villain contest was meaningless, this is pretty much the third in a
row that's been dominated by Nintendo, and we're probably about to see
a fourth. --- Nominate Aeris for SC2k6 |
