From: EvenMyROgetsB7 Because the kiddies are in school now! Duhh Yeah, but even on the west coast it's 9AM, who the hell goes to school at 9AM?

Does your state use public schools as the voting stations? Maybe
only in the states where the schools = voting polls they get off. Yup, we do that here in Maryland. Though since I'm in college, my ass is still in school today. --- *dances Yuna-style through this topic* Contest Score: 84/94! Next Pick: Samus Aran vs. Tifa Lockhart |

Yeah, getting up at 6AM every day sucks nuts. Just because I refuse to
go to sleep before midnight, and that leaves my 6 hours of sleep, and
I'm someone who can operate well on 6 hours. It usually takes me until
8AM to actually be alert. Oh well! --- Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

8:35? How the hell do you have any time for sports after school? The

Most likely contest winner taken down by some lame, weak character that no one expected to come close? Awesome. Bracket + Tifa being a horrid character + Tifa beating The Boss + Noble Nine staying in tact + Liking Samus and her games to a point = Samus has to win this. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz |

| Oh, my school times are pretty good. Primary
(Elementary) School was like 8:30 if I remember, same with High School.
I've lived in three different houses - one for all of primary and a
little of high, which were pretty close to the school, and then when I
moved I lived like 3 minutes away from my new school. Awesome. Means I
can afford to get up past 8 o clock most of the time. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz |

Oh, Christ. If Mega Man's performances were poor and Crono's bad, this is downright atrocious. Samus by the hour: 12:00 | 50.69% 11:00 | 51.36% 10:00 | 51.96% 09:00 | 52.07% 08:00 | 51.20% 07:00 | 48.23% 06:00 | 44.41% 05:00 | 44.16% 04:00 | 47.03% 03:00 | 49.14% 02:00 | 50.58% 01:00 | 52.56% That' s horrible. Tifa is now the second character to lead a Noble Niner for a decent period of time (first being Ryu against Sonic), and this might end up closer than Snake/Bowser (closest match between a Noble and non-Noble). If Tifa or Zelda break the Noble Nine I will be absolutely shocked. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

this one, I'm not too worried about Zelda. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Samus/Zelda depends on what picture Samus gets, admittedly. ...Seeing Tifa being #2 in the stats is going to be weird if Samus ends up winning the main bracket anyway. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 7: Bahamut (2-4) |

Of course we all know how Samus just seems to fall apart against other
Nintendo, and with a TP pic I'd say Zelda would have a great chance. --- DS Gamer XVII in purgatory. |

And Smurf will use lol smurf stats to say Sonic > Samus. And Zelda getting a TP pic will be pretty worthless in my mind. As long as someone doesn't get an unrecognizable picture, I don't think there's ever going to be any significant change from it. If Samus gets another ZS pic next round, and this match stays this close, then I think Zelda is the favorite, if not, then my money's definitely on Samus. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

And this match might depend on how the after school vote swings. Tifa's
doing a good job of stalling right now. I just wish she'd start making
more cuts! Of course, if previous close matches are any indication, Samus will take the after school vote. Peach/Jill and Yoshi/Dante went about the same: Winner jumps out to big early lead, other character chips away at the lead with the night vote, winner pushes ahead with the morning vote, other character fights back during school hours, and then the winner explodes with the after school vote. ...Defy trends, Tifa!

this one, I'm not too worried about Zelda. Every other factor...except Nintendo SFF, which is known to be a decisive weapon in Samus/Metroid-related matches. SWe at least know Samus won't get any degree of SFF on Zelda...but I could see Zelda rSFFing her annd pulling the win. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz |

Link barely got any SFF on Samus, Ganon was hurt by it if anything, and
you expect me to believe Zelda gets rSFF on her, when she's probably
the weakest of the trio? I'll pass. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

...But it'd be better if Sonic just flatout beat her anyway! Of course!! I think Sonic is the NNer with the least amount of people on the leaderboard picking him to win. I've seen tons of Snake, Samus, MM and Crono ones, and only a couple of Sonic ones. If it's any indication, a friend of mine who doesn't know a huge amount about the contests picked Ganon to win the whole thing. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz |

Samus didn't SFF Ganon...and anyway, if there's any character in that
female bracket that's going to pull rSFF on Samus, it's Zelda. Besides,
don't weaker characters find it easier to r/SFF? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 84/88 Today: Sonic |

That's about 100 votes gained by Tifa in the last 15 minutes, folks! ...Which means she's doing the exact same thing she was an hour ago.

Besides, don't weaker characters find it easier to r/SFF? Samus SFFd Ganon, or Samus is underadjusted, take your pick. Either way it makes it harder for Zelda to win, and no, weaker characters don't find it easier to rsff. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Sonic is going to win the tournament now. Hands down. There is no
chance that anyone in this tournament can beat him anymore. I was
somewhat worried about Samus for like...a day. Now that I see her
performance? I don't even know if she's going to make the finals to
lose to Sonic. --- A hero is a man who is afraid to run away. -The biggest Sonic fan ever.- |

So I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but could this Tifa
overperformance have to do with it being part of the female bracket? We
all saw the overperformance anomolies in the Villain contest, Ganon and
Bowser doing WAY too well against Sephiroth. Apparently there's
something to be said about the lesser character doing better in high
profile matches with gimmicks Of course, the three matches could be coincidence. Three is definitely not enough to base a study on. --- Pikaness is number-a one! AKJ is zero! |

I still have no idea who I want to win the male bracket... just not Crono. 1) Snake - He's clearly the best out of the remaining 4, hell he's the best in the contest period. 2) Mega Man - Everyone has counted him out every single round, sighting his weakness, it would be a giant kick to the groin of the stats topic, and KH would explode from being right initially so many times in one contest, switching bandwagons, and then finding out he was right all along. 3) Sonic - Most awesome person to go into the BR, and it would make PoP look awesome. --- Portugal.

Seeing Mega Man win would be great, but...I just can't see it. That
would require something crazy like Sora being the 2nd strongest
non-Noble Niner. He can beat Snake, but Crono (or Sonic, if he's
there)...It's a bit of a stretch. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 7: Bahamut (2-4) |
