This would entail some work in terms of changing stuff around, and I really would rather not spend the time. It's just 5 minutes.

Hmmm...Luigi is usually a vote drawing machine, but perhaps Kirby nerfs that. He did it against Bowser... --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

Right now it's a little slower than Zero/Luigi, but I expect these two
to be big draws during the day. Especially if they can keep it close.
135k is the ceiling for me, 127k is the floor. TuRtLe ~~~ 49/54 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Kirby's basically on damage control right now...that update wasn't the
disaster the last one was, but he's not making any moves here. He could do something with the day vote, but given that Luigi is no Bowser he has to keep it reasonably close. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Well this is exciting and all, but I'd rather not lose sleep over it.
Especially when I plan to nerdgasm and spend most of tomorrow playing
DMC 5th anniversary bundle pack (yes that's seriously what my ebgames
pre-order receipt calls it strangely enough) after I pick it up on my
way home from class. Maybe I'll even be motivated to write a game log
for once, although probably not. >_> --- Albums I'm currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, The Winter Wake, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

It's just 5 minutes. It really doesn't matter in the long run. Indeed, which is why it would be better if people simply exercised some restraint, instead of me doing needless work. I don't get why someone would want to uglify the first 5 minutes anyway. What's the use? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| Looks like Kirby just fell into night vote pace a
little sooner than Luigi did. His votes per update have slowed down
quite a bit now, too. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

looks like the match has calmed down a bit. the last two updates have
been relatively stable instead of each character making huge gains and
cuts. --- xyzzy |

And Kirby does nothing more than a little stall again. Well I'm off,
here's hoping Kirby does respectably during the night and has a
smashing day vote somehow! --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

So, unless this is some more freaky-deaky rSFF on Kirby's part, he is looking to be comfortably ahead of Zero. Poor Zero ;___; At this rate, he's going to be booted from the near-elite tier TuRtLe ~~~ 49/54 in the contest.

and I'm cheering for Luigi mostly so we can see Luigi-Sonic. the stats
could potentially get a bit messed up thanks to him being a Mario
proxy, but I'd laugh so hard if he managed to beat Sonic. that'd be a
lot more interesting than Sonic-Kirby. --- xyzzy |

Time to use reverse-Smurf stats! Quick, someone base Luigi current %
off of Kirby's 2005 value and then put him against the weakest Sonic in

Luigi can't beat Sonic. 45% would be the moral victory target for him there. And he could well do that. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This match is still pretty much a toss-up. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'm thinking Luigi takes the morning vote. After the board vote, he
decreased against Zero until the morning vote, where he kicked him
around for a little while before the day vote brought him back down. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

actually, I wouldn't be amazed if Sonic overperformed on Luigi either. I just have zero idea how that match would go. still, it's more fun than Kirby! and yeah, this match isn't anything close to over. --- xyzzy |

Hey, now it's my turn to say that Yoshi has a better chance at beating Snake than Luigi does at beating Sonic. Actually, no.

You call it Kirby dropping off, but it's not really. Luigi is gaining.
It's hard to see, but following past trends, the votals usually drop
off by now. Luigi staying constant is actually Luigi gaining. --- That was too close. You were almost a Jill sandwich. SC2k6: 52/58 Today's pick: Luigi |
