Lara's pic could be good if it had a decent background. Between Chun-Li
and Lara Croft, there's gotta be something out there you could use as a
good background, instead of what basically looks like TV static. --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko NEW YORK METS: 2006 NL EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPS |

If Peach loses this match, it'll be 100% her fault. Against Kairi and
Street Fighter, Claire and RE both dropped in votes all the way to the
end. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), Castlevania: LoI |

And Peach having a Link/Zelda-style relationship with Mario would make her at, what...Vivi's level? Yeah, that wasn't going to happen, but that's not Peach's fault...it's that Zelda's name is ****ing Zelda. Notice I said -esque. I didn't mean it had to be EXACT. And if Jill hasn't fallen off anymore, Peach isn't THAT far off from that ratio. Of course there are plenty of different factors in the Link/Mario and Zelda/Peach ratio argument (Zelda series name being one of them). I've mentioned that before. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

There's a nice update for Peach to help her pull away. And at this
point, I'm probably going to be shifting my focus over towards the
S&R board, specifically the Mets topic. LETS GO METS! --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko NEW YORK METS: 2006 NL EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPS |

Ugh, these next few match pics are terrible. Terra is blurry, KOS-MOS has TJF over a FF7 character, Joanna is weird looking and Chun-Li looks like a chubby 10 year old boy. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

By the way, RE's pattern against Kairi/SF was lose lose lose stall lose
stall.... etc. Either a miracle or Peach tanking is what it'll take for
Jill to win this, because all the kiddies are home. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), Castlevania: LoI |

So it appears Peach's day vote wasn't all that monsterous afterall. Not
out of reach for Jill at all either. Looks like we'll have one that'll
go down to the wire! :) --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Lara (October 21st) One down, two to go! *Currently playing Tales of the Abyss* |

Actually, KH and SF have proven to have strong night votes, which is
the reason RE lost percentage/votes during the night. If Jill keeps
stalling she has a good chance at winning. --- Character Battle V Score - 35/38 points Current Prediction - Jill Valentine vs. Princess Peach |

Peach just made a nice little gain there... I think this match is just
as over as it was an hour and a half ago when Peach took the lead. Jill
may stall her every now and then, but she won't start eating into the
lead. --- Oklahoma State Cowboys: 4-2 - back in my good graces with a 42-32 win over Kansas Next: vs. Texas A&M (HOMECOMING, 9/21) |

I expect the last two hours of the poll to favor Jill. I'll give her a reasonable shout if the lead is around ~150 at 9 Eastern. TG |

Jill only needs about 20 votes/15 minute update to win...but she needs
to start hitting that pace fast, or it's going to positively balloon
upwards and put the match out of reach before long. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Excellent, glad to come home to Peach barely winning. Maybe we'll
finally get a match that comes down to the final hour after all. Match pics: Zelda, KOS-MOS, Yuna, and Lara all look good. The rest, not so much. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

Match XXXVII: (1) Zelda vs. (4) Terra Branford Previous Matches Zelda Defeated Carmen Sandiego, 86.08% - 13.92% Terra Branford Defeated Sarah Kerrigan, 58.69% - 41.31% Analysis: Last round’s biggest blowout went to Zelda who was the only character to break 85% against their opponent. Even though Carmen was an unknown character that still was an impressive job by Zelda. Terra did basically what the x-stats said, but I guess you couldn’t blame it they were in the same 4-pack to random factors were kept at a minimum. This is round 2 of the Zelda/Aeris match and last round Zelda was the more impressive character (though both of their opponents were new). Terra has no chance at even making this match close and will be used as only as a stepping stone for the Zelda/Aeris match next round. The only thing to really watch out for in this match is whether or not TP hype has caused Zelda to rise. I expected Ganondorf not to have gained any boost because all we really know is that he would be in the game, but for Zelda we’ve seen more about some of her roles in the game, I’m not going into detail just in case you don’t know. I don’t buy much into hype of a game that hasn’t been released unless the game is going to come out like the day after the match. If Zelda was to gain from last year I don’t think it would be by much. Like I said this the next stepping stone to Zelda/Aeris, the only interesting match in this division and the winner would most likely win the round after that as well. Dante was able to break 70% against her so I’m expecting Zelda to do better than what Dante did. charmander6000’s Bracket: Zelda over Terra Branford charmander6000’s Prediction: Zelda wins, 73.18% - 26.72% --- "I was trying to escape.

2k4's start time was 1am EST, right? if so, Jill cut 200-250 votes off
