I don't think MC can pull it out, because even if things go as well as
they can, he'd have just enough momentum to deplete the lead, not not
quite enough to pad a lead. It would, like, end in a tie or maybe a few
hundred votes short. But I'm still looking forward to a patented MC day-vote swing --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I mean, we know Crono's day vote > Magus's by quite a margin So why not Frog's? Yet, Master Chief had a bigger swing against Crono than Frog. You can't deny that if we see a performance like that again, all bets are off. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

actually, looking at Crono/Magus (not the most reliable thing, but bear
with me), Crono and Magus went about even come daytime. it was the
overnight/morning vote where Crono padded his lead. it's a SFF match so
I don't expect much in terms of reliability, but it's something. --- xyzzy |

I can't see MC winning this match now. Hmm, Subzero must have
definitely gotten a boost from the new MK game. Certainly helps that it
has garnered mostly positive reviews too. Where does this place Subzero
in the xstats? Higher than Scorpion? --- Now playing: Castlevania:DOS | Queue: Okami | Waiting for: SMT:Devil Summoner, FF12, Castlevania:POR |

I'm actually somewhat angered by this match; you have it next week or
the week before and you're looking at a potentially very different
result. MC still has a chance though; you can never count him out! --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Well, crap. Sub-Zero looks like he's gonna win this now. Unless Master Chief goes and breaks his own record.. --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

Ugh, Illumina is going to be unbearable after this. This is pretty nice by Subby, though. I can't see MC winning this now. 4000 votes? Nah. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 30/31 Today: MC |

Well, this match is going to get almost 1.5 times the total votes of Frog Vs. Master Chief. So yeah, that's understandable. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

| Speaking of total votes, I forgot to factor in the
fact that when the school vote kicks in, the match will already have
over half of the total votes cast. That's a far cry from the other
matches where we'd only have less than half by the time the school vote
hits. Or in the case of Frog Vs. Master Chief, a piddly 42% I guess that may be offset with the "second night vote" that was present in the past matches, but I don't know... Oh well, it's not like the chances of a successful comeback were higher than 3% anyway --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Why would MC go 50/50 here the only NA people that aren't at school are
from the West Coast and even then we'd all be gone in 30-45 min. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

I don't know, but it's consistent with his match with Frog. At this
time, he also improved a little over 1% doing about 48% instead of
46.5%. As for why.. I dunno. Maybe the unemployed layabouts who play Halo wake up at this time >_> --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

the one difference with this match and Frog is that people are in
school. if we're going to see a MC day vote, it's going to come hard
and fast at around 3pm. --- xyzzy |

People were in school for that match too. That's why I chose it for comparison. It's just a coincidence that it happened to be so... similar >_> Granted, there were probably a number of schools that still hadn't been in session. But I'd say at least half of them were by September 9th --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I can see MC cutting the lead by at least half against Sub-Zero if they keep going like this for the next 4 hour. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

So, I only just about an hour ago got back from class, and haven't been closely following the match or the discussion here... Anyway, Subbie's lead is now over 3500 votes... does anyone think MC still has a chance to come back? --- Mia... um, OKSt... ah, **** football.

Master Chief has yet to win a 15 minute update. He needs to win the next 49 by an average of 71.5 votes to tie Sub-Zero. I wouldn't rate his chances as very good, let's say that. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |
