I just wake up, and I see Sonic has finally turned things aroung! KICKASS!

It sucks that I have to go to work today, or else I'd be pretty damn excited. Let's hope Sonic builds up a great lead before I come back here at 10.

Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2? Forgive me, XIII.

Factoring in the boosted votals, It may well be just like a normal day vote like last year.
Sonic doesn't need anything crazy like what Kairi did.

I don't know why people have so much faith in Crono. Sonic is making decent slices BEFORE the afterschool vote. He'll only need to come back from about 1000 votes against the worst day-vote Crono we've ever seen. Crono can hold on, but if I had Sonic in my bracket I'd be extremely confident right now.

No, at this point, Crono probably won't win the 12-3 slot. But the importance of that is this: If today really does not follow the trends of a school day, then Sonic's afterschool vote will not be nearly as strong. It's the difference of Sonic being able to gain until oh...10 maybe, or only until 5 or 6.

Another big cut for Sonic. If this keeps up, Crono may not have Megaman's lead for the afterschool. He had better hope a ton of schools in America are closed today, or he's toast.

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.

I know we're still watching the match (and it's going to be great!), but I'm just reading through the old topic, and found that from Black Turtle. It made me laugh, just had to share it. The omgthismatchisover people, while still called out by a good few, still happens too frequently.

That's almost as funny as your face! Almost

Well... if Sonic pulls this one out, at least I was right about one of the final four matches for the male bracket. Too bad Snake *****-slapped me! Actually not too bad, because he's awesome sauce, even though I still hope Sonic wins it all (PoP baby!).

Normally I'd be pissed off that I have to leave a match this awesome to go do something, but in the case of a doctor fondling my balls, I can make an exception.

Also, unless Snake > Crono/Sonic pretty damn convincingly Vincent > MM in the x-stats. It's 2004 all over again, and now in 2007 when everyone predicts MM's downfall, he rocks everything!

You know even if Sonic and Crono are virtually equal this is gonna have interesting ramifications for Snake. If he faces Sonic he's gonna have his normal night vote and then have to fight back a comeback. On the other hand with Crono his night vote will be challenged and Snake might be the one needing a comeback. Or Snake will just be so hugely boosted he won't care and just tune up for whipping Samus...

Oh, he will.

Actually, (assuming Crono actually wins this, which is looking extremely doubtful) if Mega Man = Auron, Snake wins next round with 50.92%.

Oh yes.

I'd rather see Crono/Sonic than Snake/Crono, for more than just personal preferences. Crono/Snake would be pretty even all day long, and if anyone jumped out to a big lead, they'd pretty much have it locked up. Sonic/Snake, not so much. Either way, I really hope Sonic/Crono beat Snake for both PoP, Samus, and the BR. I can't see Snake doing as well as either of them with FF7 looming.

Did you really? I thought it hadn't been decided on yet. It doesn't matter though, as I'm writing one anyways. I'll just get to feel good knowing that I would have obtained the point had I been the guest writer.

Your mother is delusional! Seriously though... you actually believe Snake could hold up as well as Sonic or Crono in the BR, when he obviously shares a fanbase with FF? Samus would have some competition for the first to exit.

Because Snake totally didn't beat Mario in that poll with Link and Cloud pre-2k3.

Yeah, Snake would be susceptible to being overperformed on in a direct match with either of the FFVII juggernauts, but so is Mario with Link. A BR setting is more conducive to hardcore fanbases, where Snake will shine as he has already proven to.
