XIII, i voted for jill last night because i thought that peach's little 200 vote lead after the first hour meant something. =/

Peach sure ain't acting like she's got a huge Nintendo vote. She didn't dominate the morning hours like they normally do, and she's getting owned right now. She's acting more like DK than any other Nintendo character I can think of.

well, the afterschool vote usually starts showing itself at about 2:30. if Peach isn't winning updates regularly by 3pm, I'll be really worried about her chances.

as for right now, I feel.. well, 50/50. if Jill pushes this out much further though I'll lose a lot of hope for Peach winning this match.

world of warcraft servers are back up. that must mean that the more mature audience that normally votes for jill are retreating to their mmorpg so that all the kiddies arriving from school can now vote for peach in peace.

THAT'S A JOKE

I'm not getting my hopes up. That spike by Peach brought back memories of that "spike" from Kairi. Which was closely followed by about a hundred updates similar to that.

This is getting obnoxious. Are people really this freaking passionate about Peach/Jill? I mean damn I'm a Nintendo fanboy and I don't give half a crap about Peach. At least Ganon/Vincent was a clash of titans, Subzero/MC was a serious midcard against king of chokes, this is just two chumps who wouldn't have made any non-gimmick bracket. Yeah it's a close match so enjoy it, but cut the BS.

Jill's lesa is under 1500 votes. Breaking 51% hardly makes her safe.

Maybe not initially. But Grapefruit will slip up before VV's kickass bracket does. ^_~

Considering that Jill would have beaten half the field, it doesn't say very much, really.

Peach still has 20 minutes until the afterschool vote kicks in and she CAN still turn this around. Its only 1200 votes and it is Jill. While I dont think Peach can make a 4000 vote turnaround like Kairi, she is more than capable of doing this.

But I was right in this match probably ending as the closest match so far.

__Smurf__ | Posted 10/17/2006 11:17:16 AM | message detail
A) It might not start at exactly that time.
B) If it did, it would be closer to 1400.
C) That would make it one of the biggest successful comebacks in history.

Well, yeah. Even if Peach's comeback attempt fails, it'll be under 1000 votes, maybe 5 or 400.

It started at 1425 in the Kairi match if I recall correctly. I haven't checked so I may be wrong.
NewLib | Posted 10/17/2006 11:19:14 AM | message detail
I think Peach and Jill could have still made it in even without the women's bracket.

The definites are:
Samus, Tifa, Zelda, Yuna, Aeris (I think she would have finnaly made a return no matter what)

The Maybes:
Rikku, Peach, Jill, Chun-Li, Lara, KOS-MOS

The Doubtful but Maybe:
Kerrigan, Terra, The Boss, Joanna

Just checked. 14:30 was when Kairi started cutting into the lead.
Karma Hunter | Posted 10/17/2006 11:23:26 AM | message detail
I'm thinking Peach would have probably made it in thanks to the board rallying for her. Jill on the other hand would have probably needed to wait for Umbrella Chronicles or RE5 before she made a proper return.

XIII_rocks | Posted 10/17/2006 11:25:00 AM | message detail
It started at around 14:40 from what I can tell.

How much does Peach need an update to win this? Around a 12 or XIII vote lead?

Uhh, Kairi? If Axel can make it into that stacked male bracket, Kairi can make it in a regular 64-character bracket. She was a 2-seed; I'd say she was more likely to make it than the other 2-seeds, even.

Take off every sig.
NewLib | Posted 10/17/2006 11:25:34 AM | message detail
My reason for thinking Jill might return is I think RE as a franchise has increased since last year due to RE4. So I thought you might be able to squeak back in.

Assuming she's behind by 1500 votes and the vote swing starts at 3:00 eastern... just under 14 votes an update.
