Yoshi? Mega Man? Claire? Mega Man is performing around expectations right now. Yoshi hit exactly where he needed to with a factored in KH2 boost. And I'm not sure where you got the idea that Claire underperformed. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

37.5% had Ryu over Dante, Duke Nukem, and Ryo Hazuki. I don't think his
support is that bad, but Ryu had a bad seed for the time ever this

It's more like a Kingdom Hearts II boost,
not a "factor," and it was expected to happen. This isn't some shocking
new revelation that shows this massive shift or anything. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

It's too bad that all the Kingdom Hearts II characters (and
Squall/Auron), have paths that are pretty much set in stone. Looks like
the best chance that gang has to turn this contest on its ear lies with
Aeris, and I'm anything but confident in her ability to beat Zelda. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Ick, I'd probably take Axel based on KH2 alone. Gordon seems like an
oddball more and more every day. I'd hesitate to take him over say, Tingle though. ...no, this doesn't mean Mega Man will struggle in the slightest against Sora... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Like I've said before, 30% from Axel gets me antsy one way or the other...but barring a very massive day vote (and really, Sora lost a bit of ground to TINGLE) it's not getting near that. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

| Axel is a fairly likable character with a decent
role in KH2 (never playted CoM), but his catchphrase is, fittingly, the
most memorable thing about him. It's sort of like Squall and

Hmm... Axel has done a good job of holding his own for the past 20
minutes. Let's remember that between the morning vote and the end of
the poll, Riku gained 2.6% on Yoshi. If Axel has the typical Kingdom
Hearts day vote, he should definitely avoid the tripling. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

I think the overnight vote will go to Mega Man first though. I'd expect this to get into the 76's before the daytime. ..who am I kidding?

I think that sounds pretty good. Even at 76 (or even 77) though, Axel
may have the potential to shake off the tripling like a case of fleas. I love how I'm making him sound so powerful while he's getting tripled. GO AXEL!!! =P --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

assuming a tripling, Axel's looking at 19.4% on BL. I guess Kratos Aurion would be a good match for him if that's right. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

That's also around Ocelot's level, though...I really wouldn't expect Ocelot to struggle all that much with Axel. Then again, I *do* have Snake > Mega Man... <_< --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Well, Aurion is probably significantly weaker than he was then, but even back in 2k5 his performance on Diablo seemed a little too good. I'd take most of the people around his level to beat him with ease, too. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I don't think Kratos would be weaker now than he was then, though I
question whether he could get enough votes to eclipse 50% if the other
character was well-known. Kratos vs. someone like Pac-Man would be a
no-brainer to me. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' WHERE Gordon.IsWinner = True AND Predic || Winner: Strider Hiryu - 57.11% |

True, but unless Jill really tanks, she won't look too bad! And personally, I've felt that Aurion should replace Vyse as our new fodder line since last year, since ToS still has a bit more life to it than SoA at the moment. --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Lara Croft (October 21th) One down, two to go! *Just 5 days until Tales of the Abyss* |

fodder line candidates? I've thought of Kratos as the fodder line for
the last year, him or KOS-MOS. I think Kefka would make a good fodder
line if you raise the standard a point or so, since I don't see him
getting much weaker. he seems like he'd be pretty stable. --- Query "Results" failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' WHERE Gordon.IsWinner = True AND Predic || Winner: Strider Hiryu - 57.11% |

I've always treated Kefka as the fodder
line. The second you start losing to him, you're too pathetic for me to
take into consideration for a nomination. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I'm not sure if I like how Megaman is doing. Sora got 75.61% on Tingle, which I think is equal or perhaps even little stronger than Axel, while Megaman can't even triple Axel. Then again I admit that I've never played KH2 and don't know if Axel is a cool character, but I think he's around Ansem's strength... I mean, Megaman isn't even increasing his lead with 100 votes right now.... And after Sora the blue bomber has to face Snake :( --- Supporter of Alucard. |

I have no idea how Axel is cutting into Mega Man's percentage during
the dead of night. This goes against everything we know about Kingdom
Hearts' voting patterns. At this rate, it's kind of difficult for me to
picture Axel winning the day vote. I mean... Mega Man surges during the
first hour and Axel spends the next 23 trimming away at the percentage?
Doesn't seem plausible at all. This theory might sound a bit out there, but perhaps Axel's voting patterns may go against the grain because he's exclusive to Kingdom Hearts II? He's probably the only character we'll ever see who holds that distinction, and I can't think of any other reasons why his voting patterns would be different, let alone completely reversed.

Well, Axel was in CoM as well, so I don't see why his pattern would be
different from the other KH people. Maybe it's that European KH vote
finally kicking in. KH2 did release there on the Riku vs Yoshi matchup.
Then, people were probably too busy playing the actual game, while now
they have some time to vote. At the rate this is going, Axel just might have a chance to go above 30%. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

I was thinking Europe might have a big hand in this, but enough to
completely reverse the traditional trend? I hope I'm not alone in
thinking that Mega Man would be tearing Sora or Riku apart at this time
of night. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Seriously. Axel is just ripping away percentage now. I love Axel and I
love disorder, so naturally, this is just the pwn. If he somehow gets
the KH day vote on top of this, he WILL approach 30%, and everyone WILL
be going nuts. Sora over Mega Man? No way. Snake over Mega Man? Yes,
that one will spread like wildfire, and you better believe I'll be
doing a lot of the spreading. =P --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

I'm starting to fear for my bracket now. Mega Man just recieved his
worse update yet with only 64.6% of the vote. If Axel is doing this
good, Yoshi vs Dante might be closer than what was first suggested with
Riku vs Yoshi. My Dante > Yoshi pick just might be in danger. Also, if Gordon continues his tradition of going out with 40%, Phoenix will end up getting overrated through Sora and Sora vs Mega Man. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

Yoshi/Dante was one of the most debated matches in the bracket; there
really wasn't a safe option there, so it was risky either way. Also,
there isn't a realistic reason to believe Gordon's 40% streak will
continue. He's facing someone who probably has the strength to beat Ryu
without much trouble this year. Gordon just can't compete. In reality, while a big KHII boost would be fun and breathe some life into the rankings, it probably won't change the actual results. Almost all of the entrants who would be affected by such a boost (KH characters themselves, Squall, Tifa, Auron) have paths that are almost absolutely set in stone. The only possible winners I could see coming from this are Aeris and maaaaaaaybe Cloud. Kind of a bummer that the two characters who have the best chance to capitalize have to face the hottest series on GameFAQs right now, but they, them's the breaks. Of course, Vincent can definitely beat Ganondorf, and he could have gotten a tiny boost as a result of KHII, but he shouldn't be considered part of the actual KH ensemble for obvious reasons. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Axel seems like the kind of guy that might appeal more to a night demographic when compared to other KH characters. Still...

I find it a bit difficult to imagine Axel continue to gain for the next
18 hours, but anything can happen. If he does do better in the day,
however, Mega Man will be questioned by everyone. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |
