Man, what's up with Subby dropping and falling like that O_o

Dammit. You can't just bring him down 100 votes in 15 minutes and then just stop. That's totally anticlimactic.

Squall would DESTROY Sub Zero

If he can kick Snake's ass, of course he'd destroy Sub-Zero.

Once again I point to Kairi/Claire. If MC doesn't impress by 4:30, then he's a dud and I was wrong.

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

Who? I've only had a chance to skim the topics, but I didn't see anybody claim Sub-Zero would have a better day vote than Master Chief.

I remember many of us saying Sub would do better with the day than Frog, and I remember some of us saying it would be funny if Sub beat MC worse with the day-vote...but I'm not sure if anybody actually bought it.

Who the hell was saying this? o_0 People, myself included, wondered if the lead would be too big for MC to make it up!

He needs to start right now consistently pulling 50 votes away each update.
Is he capable of that?

35 minutes later and the lead has gone nowhere.

Well, I guess if MC can keep the lead at 4000, he'll make it a 51.5% loss.

Very impressive performance by Sub-Zero. Taking 340 updates against the Chief in the afternoon? Sub-Zero burried this match a while ago.

Well...with Master Chief's dominant day vote, so far he has cut off...30 votes from Sub-Zero's peak lead.

WELL ON HIS WAY TO A COMEBACK!

huh., guess I overreacted to that 15 minute cut. Sub really is going 50/50 with the Chief here. it'll probably go down a little, but not under 51%.

..I guess. who knows.

What a lamo match. Its not even interesting... LAMO.


MC is the turd of the round. No doubt.

There is respect to losing to Luigi... and Sub Zero isn't bad... but his crapperific.

That's not the reason you look like a tool.

Though Chief is the biggest tool of them all. He could take off 2500 votes and still go down as the biggest joke of this entire contest.

Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest.
dragoontheguy | Posted 10/13/2006 1:06:28 PM | message detail
MC needs to on average chop over 44 votes off the lead per update from now until the end to win. He might make it closer, but a comeback seems highly unlikely at this point.
---
When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory!
UltimaterializerX | Posted 10/13/2006 1:07:30 PM | message detail
When was a comeback ever likely? Chief's godly day vote is overblown because people are giving credence to Frog and DK, two characters that are complete ass during the day.

exactly - people who thought a 4,000+ comeback was going to happen were just rooting for their brackets. not that there's anything wrong with that.

You think so? I'd think, as popular as MC is with casuals, that Sub Zero would gather his fair share of brackets.

Five minutes.

When was a comeback ever likely? Chief's godly day vote is overblown because people are giving credence to Frog and DK, two characters that are complete ass during the day.

The comeback while unlikely was entirely possible ufor a large amount of the match. MC doesn't have an overrated day vote per se, people just don't realize how much he'd have to come back each update in order to take a lead.

And when I say large amount I mean during a good deal of the night. I can't believe how people are taking my wording of "highly unlikely". I just don't like to use the word impossible, that doesn't mean I thought he was going to win until recently.

Lucid Faia did say that Master Chief had a 0% chance at coming back around noon, which is still pretty cocky.
