Look at how poor everyone is doing, especially when...if Sub-Zero pulls through. All those guesses were put in before we saw the PP of Kratos/Ryu.

"There's no way MC will get the day vote!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111"

will slowly turn into

"I never said that. I just said that the lead was completely insurmountable!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111"

which will then turn into

"I was backing MC the entire tiiiiiiiiiime!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111"

Yeah, but you can still see just how far he can get through those 4200 votes.

I'm not sure if MC is going to meet his quota of votes needed per hour even if he continues at this rate the entire match *does some calculations* Okay he will, comfortably o_O, but I can't imagine Subby not stalling a bit.

It's too much for MC to come back. What MC can do is make it a respectable loss.

Well, I don't think anyone denied that MC was going to get this, though I started getting skeptical since it didn't happen by 3.

The rub is if it's going to be enough. And... well... no.

Turtle, SHUT UP. Could you not be so goddamn annoying for one second of your entire life???

How am I annoying? I'm presenting both sides of the argument while certain people are under the impression that their word is law, and that whatever they say 5 minutes into the match will automatically hold true. That is of course until what they say starts looking wrong, at which point they start to twist their posts to put a positive spin on them.

I hope MC pulls the comeback not because of any bracket reasons, but because it will shut up all the ignorant asshats who think they have it all figured out and can't accept that they're wrong from time to time.

There was nothing unusual in that update. It has two more votes total than the previous update, Subzero just got more of them.

Cheating is apparent by Total Votes spikes not when one character spikes and the other drops almost the same amount.

Are you out of your ****ing mind. The only ignorant arrogant asshats have been the one's guaranteeing MC wins with the day vote in a smug douchebag manner. Seriously. If anyone needs to be shut up, it's the MC supporters.

(also, NOT SO FAST, CHIEF! Subby strikes back!)

Oh God, not losing a point in the contests !! Give it a rest, troll.

How am I annoying?

Because you just won't give it a rest. All day and all night you're harping on about the exact same thing, ignoring reality and painting your own distorted view of what you think is going on and then criticizing EVERYTHING. It's even worse than someone like Wylvane or Smurf, because I know they don't buy their own bull****.

The fact that you can accuse anyone of being an "ignorant asshat" with a straight face makes my head spin.

Partially because he's on my side, and partially because he hasn't been that bad, I"m going to say that's an exaggeration. I've always seen it said that Turtle is an awful troll, but recently I haven't thought that, at all. Should MC come back, he's entitled to his fair share of gloating.

yeah, I'm not worried here. MC would have to be doing a LOT more damage to the lead than this, not to mention he'll slow down for the last hour and some.

KH, people last night were saying with absolute certainty that the match was over because Sub-Zero would win the day vote.

When valid points such as every one of MC's past matches were brought up, they responded with an "No, your an idiot. I'm always right" response. Even if MC doesn't win, I hope he cuts the lead to triple digits just to shut them up.

Indeed.

KH's just looking for an out in case MC does "the impossible." Anything to avoid being wrong, as it would just kill him.

anyway, I'd say this lead gets cut to... 2000? that seems safe to me. it might go lower, but Sub should be able to pad it a bit in the last hour.

eesh, not with these stalls though. If MC isn't going to take the after school vote here in a big way, then I'll concede he's dead. He really can't afford updates like that.
