Crono tried to pull away, but Sonic stopped him fast. Still, Crono with 110 at the pause!

Okay, someone get on the night vs. day comparisons for Sonic and Crono. I'd do it, but I suck at that stuff.

It will be interesting to see the dayvote.

well, Crono didn't start to dominate Bowser until the board vote was over. if Sonic is anything like Bowser, Crono is going to expand this lead throughout the night.

Crono has a crappy day vote and an awesome night vote. Sonic has an okay night vote and a good, but not great, day vote.

Looking at the highest votal list makes me wonder how the hell Link/Cloud got so many votes back then.

And I wonder if the Battle Royale can break the coveted 200k barrier.

Crono pulled ahead a bit during that last minute. I wouldn't try to extrapolate anything out of that though; the first five minutes are always relatively meaningless unstable chaos.

Crono has a crappy day vote and an awesome night vote. Sonic has an okay night vote and a good, but not great, day vote.

That's a good thing for Sonic. Someone with a crappy day vote can make someone with an average day vote look pretty damn good. It should be interesting to see this one come morning.

yep - Bowser, not known for his day vote, knocked 4% off Crono come morningtime. Sonic might be able to do the same if not more, though I wouldn't expect a 5% swing in a close match like this.

This actually isn't so bad for Sonic right now... I can see this having an absolutely MASSIVE swing for Sonic once day hits, also worth noting that tomorrow isn't a school day. Oh man... Snake > MM, Sonic > Crono, Snake > Sonic. That'd be absolutely INSANE.

Just remember that during school days, the "day" vote doesn't kick in until the after school vote. Crono hasl onger then he would during the summers to build his lead.

Of course the result is the same since it's just a more drastic shift with the after school vote then the day vote has in the summer, but it's worth considering that crono has longer then just six or seven hours to build a lead.

I'll give it a few more updates, but if Sonic can't keep things relatively respectable (say... 47%, if not more) during the first couple of hours, it's hopeless.

Exactly. Any lead over 4k (possibly smaller) and the blue blur stands no chance when the after-school vote kicks in.

excellent update!! that's what i want to see! i never thought i would say this, but GO CRONO!!

oh, and throughout the day Crono dropped about 4% against Captain Falcon, 4.5% against Bowser, and 6% against Auron. so, i'm predicting that if Crono is over 58% by sunrise, he will hang on for the victory.

well, Sonic/Vincent went 50/50 during the overnight hours.

Crono/Vincent? most in the upper 50's with a few spikes both ways. different Vincent (maybe?), but you get the idea.

Sonic didn't gain much on Mega Man with the day/afterschool, and Crono/Mega Man stayed rather even throughout the day. That was just odd...I hope that doesn't mean anything with Sonic/Crono.
