I have to leave now (stupid school) and when I comeback I hope Crono's lead is less than 2000 votes..... --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

The largest comeback came from under a 2500 vote defecit, correct?
By morning crono's should be at least a few hundred votes over 2500. Vote totals are a lot higher this year though, so bigger vote comebacks are possible. Plus, because starting the poll three hours earlier allows slightly bigger comebacks as well (because there's not really a second night vote to withstand... those votes are already there at the beginning of the poll). --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

From Keno316 So what's been the biggest swing Sonic's been able to accomplish in the past? I don't even think Sonic has ever been up against a Night heavy character like Crono. At least one with any strength. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Looking back at Knuckles/Magus, Magus had a 646 vote lead before losing
by 1756. That's a 2402 vote swing with similar characters. I think
Sonic's capable of that. --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

Knuckles/Magus would be a decent basis for comparison. Unless Crono can
get this over 4-5000, I still say Sonic has a very realistic shot at
winning. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Because 4000 vote swings can be taken for granted! Honestly, it's over. Crono has built up a lead of nearly 1700 votes in two and a half hours, and he still has the rest of the night vote to look forward to. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy XII, Tales of the Abyss, King of Fighters 2002/2003 |

Assuming all the "Crono has this won" people are right, now I just need
to see either Crono or Snake beat Samus (or Zelda) and I'll be happy.
Go Crono! --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

I fail to see how it's over when Sonic has a ridiculous strong day vote against somebody who lost 5% to Captain Falcon to look forward to. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Well, I'm not liking Crono's chances against Snake next round personally. Snake seems like what Mario was like last year. IF its not 50-50 I see that one going for Snake and could go as high as 52-48. I do think that Snake can take the whole bracket though. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

And, Sonic went even with Luigi, who lost the after school vote to both
Zero and Kirby. That's hardly the mark of someone "ridiculously" strong
with the day vote. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Lead's 2004 now. Also, the votals for both have spiked since 2 updates ago and Sonic's back to getting over 200 per update while Crono's pulling over 275 from under 200 per update for both. n_n --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

O_O Disregard that statement about the votals. For some reason, the updater's updating every 10 minutes, instead of 5. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

At this time Knuckles started stalling Magus, Sonic has to do the same. Allow Crono no more than 100 votes in the next hour. After which, he can begin the comeback. --- Smurf. The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

Aww... the updater didn't catch that last update where Sonic cut 10 votes. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

I think so far, Sonic has won 3 updates. It is a good signs for Sonic. --- I am a Singaporean and hope Snake will do well for the rest of the contest. |

Another gain during Crono's freakin time. It's over Crono, Sonic has the high ground! n_n --- President Of Board 8. (10/14/2006 onwards) |

And Crono regains all but one of those lost votes back with that
update. Despite that, Sonic wins his first 15 minute update by 1 vote.
(Lead is back up to 2056) Also, I'd just like to say here that the updater hasn't updated for 20 minutes now. --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

Like I said, this is Crono's time for another hour, All Sonic needs to do is stall him. And he's doing that nicely. Not only is Sonic going to be gaining next hour, he's going to be killing Crono within a few hours. --- President Of Board 8. (10/14/2006 onwards) |

Next update had Crono increasing his lead by 12, although Sonic gained 0.01%. (Lead of 2068) --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

Well it makes sense. Crono was pushing 60% on Auron until about now, when Auron took him down drastically to 55% updates. Smurf is actually right about this. Not good for Crono --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Good. He's going to do better than this in the morning and after
school. So when he's already keeping Crono down to like, 50.5% now,
he'll drop him down to at least 48% updates in the morning. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |
