You know, it's nice that my BR might still be alright. I can see any of the males finishing at the 4th spot. That, and both Zelda and Samus finishing at the bottom.

I can almost see Sonic outlasting Seph, but not by much. I can't see Snake making it that far though, if he happens to win.

So you're saying that Vincent wouldn't have SFF'd Squall? Because if you were to put Vincent in Snake's division, you would be giving him Tidus' 5 seed

Crono would have been in much better shape if he could have at least got some footing with the school vote, but all that seemed to do was stem the bleeding. I can't imagine him winning at this rate, the second night vote is all but non-existent now.

When everyone goes to school on Monday.

>>

Probably around 6:45 pm EST since the west coast gets out of school at around 6:00 EST. But there are period where it's not as potent between 3:00 and 6:45 because nothing is actually in the process of getting out.

Concerning the second night vote, Vincent did gain some 300 votes against Sonic in the last 2.5 hours, and on a school day too, and he was 5000+ votes down. Considering Crono will be starting from a better position, and needs less of a percentage swing to swing the same number of votes, and today has a diluted day vote, Crono could still come back a few hundred later tonight.

Sonic has to be the favorite now though. Also, in Magus/Knuckles, Knuckles' best hour was 12-1, but his second best was 4-5, and 3rd is a tie between 3-4 and 2-3. After 5, Knux dropped off quickly, and Magus started coming back after 6. Probably not too relevant, but some hope for Crono.
