Someone tell me. Did MC ever gain the lead back in the day or what?

Do you think he would be losing right now by 2500 votes if he had?

I am, I'm laughing at the fact that Sub-Zero has put up a "Stall" right here at 51.01% for 20 minutes now.

On another note, this match is going to finish in the top twenty for all time votals. It's 1400 behind Tifa/Ivy, which is 17th overall and 3rd in this contest.

It's the closest thing we have to the 'second night vote', after all...Sub-Zero may even prevent MC from getting that 49% moral victory.

well, MC did break that 49% barrier!! now it's time to drop that 2500 vote barrier!!

=/

bleh. i gotta admit - i was completely wrong about this match's outcome. i sincerely thought Master Chief would slowly pull away from Sub-Zero overnight before running away with the day vote. ah, well.

I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you?
Gaddswell | Posted 10/13/2006 8:27:55 PM | message detail
So Chief finally managed 49%...

With the day vote, Master Chief managed to reduce a maximum lead of 4294 to a little over 2500. That's a swing of around 1800 votes.

Since the difference between the two is so little, anyone think that this could've gone the other way if MK:A didn't come out a few days earlier or HBO was linking to the match?

I think MK:A was the reason MC lost, but I don't think he would've gotten anymore than 52%

Congrats on picking this upset to the few of you who did so. Good job on making me look like an idiot for the fourth of fifth time in this contest. >_>

Anyways, can't say I'm too disappointed, as Sub-Zero kicks a lot more ass than Master Chief.

Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2? Forgive me, XIII.
HaRRicH | Posted 10/13/2006 8:34:02 PM | message detail
If the game hadn't released yet AND HBO linked, I'd feel safe in MC > Sub-Zero in a close one. As-is, with only one of them...eh, dunno, too close to call. I'd give the edge to MC if either of those happened, but still, just, too close to say.

With that second bracket I made, it's funny how much lower seeding the women have in it than the men AND how few matches they win, even counting the female/female matches.

Nice showing from the Chief. I was starting to think he really wouldn't have an afternoon vote, what with most other trends being changed, and that Subby would end with 53%. 'Course it was too little, too late, but at least MC proved he's still got it in him to cut into a lead by 2000 votes.
