this is looking.. well, bad. I'm not too concerned yet because it's
going to be the other way around come morningtime, but this is still
worrisome. --- 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% |

going to be the other way around come morningtime, but this is still
worrisome. Nothing is guaranteed. It could very well be Vincent increasing his lead come morningtime. All we can say for sure is what is happening in the present. --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |

| Keep in mind Vincent quickly started with a fast deficit to Ganon, representing the overzealous Ganon fans getting the jump start. If you void the first 30 minutes, you have a more accurate depiction of how voting is going to go for this for the next 5-7 hours at the least. Vincent will open this up to an unsurmountable lead before the "kiddies" ever get out of bed and finish their Corn Pops. |

| I recall the samething being said about Halo when
it faced Castlevania. People were talking as if a 2000 vote swing was
guaranteed once morning hit. That's just ignorant. --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |

I recall the samething being said about Halo when it faced
Castlevania. People were talking as if a 2000 vote swing was guaranteed
once morning hit. That's just ignorant. That was the series contest. A lot of people were basing that off of characters/games in the past and how they have performed. It's also something to note that Vincent isn't going to get close to a 2000 vote lead by morning, especially since Ganon has the occasional stall. He's definitely doing what he should be right now, but we've seen how they have performed in the morning hours before. There's a precedent for this. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

266 isn't much of a lead in a match that will go to to 110k+. I hadn't
expected Vincent to hang this close though, I completely believed he
would bomb... --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

Actually HM, at the rate Vincent is going; he will hit 2000 votes by
morning. Ganon hasn't stalled Vincent for more than a half-hour. --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |

Nothing is guaranteed. All we can say for sure is what is happening in the present. I wish more people thought that way. It kind of sucks that we all know the voting trends like nothing else though. By the way, Ganon/Auron trends holding up means that Ganon is in trouble if he lets this get out of hand. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

Aside from that last 50/50 update, this is looking pretty stable. I'll
check the match again before I go to work, which should be right about
when Ganon will be starting his "comeback". TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

^5s It's weird not having HM on this side though... Poor kid, he coulda had (most) of his way if this match was later in the contest. Oh well, the better man wins here.

Vincent's gonna kill that *****!

If Vincent is going to be exposed (lol), it will happen in round two of
this contest. Don't bank on him ever being caught scoring much lower
than his 2k5 stats have him (barring the effects of aging). --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

One thing I don't understand is why Aeris/Zelda isn't getting much
discussion. If Aeris, Vincent, and Tifa are all relatively equal (re:
1-2%) then why isn't Aeris > Zelda not a popular pick. Especially
after seeing how an optional character from FFVII can hang with the
franchise's 20-year villian. Unless you believe Zelda > Ganondorf, I
don't see why Aeris > Zelda is such a farout pick. Maybe because
TP's release date was projected to come out before the match >_> --- Scooped in a coupe, Snoop we got news/Your girl was trickin' while you was draped in your county blues I ain't been out a second/And already gotta do some mutha****in chin checkin |
