Honestly, if yesterday's match didn't break the record, I'd have been shocked. I mean, it's 6 heavyweights in a match during the year with the most vote totals anyway.

Battle Royale Day 2 - Bracket: Snake - Vote: Snake (160/200)
NewLib | Posted 11/14/2006 9:08:42 PM | message detail
Cloud is doing worse than yesterday. It seems like Snake has taken a few percentages from him and Link has gotten absolutely ALL of Samus' votes.

That would be sick if this somehow didn't end up Cloud/Link.

Does anyone know positively if the battle royale actually counts for anything because that part of the bracket has seemingly been left out of the contest?

Each correct rank is worth 8 points. For whatever reason, Ceej didn't include it on the "check your entry" form under the main bracket...

god, I can't wait til day 4 if it's Cloud/Link/Seph left. it's gonna be something like this:

Link - 55%
Cloud - 28%
Seph - 17%


An awesome conclusion to the multi-option polls !!

if I had to pick a loser right now, I'd say Mario. Seph is going to come back and Snake will gain throughout the night at Mario's expense.

Mario should be able to take the lead on Snake before the hour is over though.

Link and Mario should totally switch places. Being in the center of a five-option poll, it would look like Link's percentage bar was flipping everyone off.

And this probably goes without saying, but someone should archive the update topics for the Battle Royale.

creativename | Posted 11/14/2006 9:19:44 PM | message detail
In that I expect Mario to be gone after today, and Snake could well outdo Sephiroth tomorrow.

Link back up again -- lead of 688! Very safe to say that Link's going to win every poll from here on out.

Doesn't seem like Mario's going to be able to last another day though.

I wouldn't be surprised if day 4 results looked like this:

Link 40%
Cloud 35%
Sephiroth 25%

When Sephiroth gets knocked off, Link absorbes half of his votes.
Adept of Aiur | Posted 11/14/2006 9:22:43 PM | message detail
Hasn't Mario basically been maintaining a 100 difference with Snake?

Hmm, looks like the king of SFF made the battle royale after all. Also Ceej needs to see a trailer for Casion Royale or something cause battle royal just looks dumb.

There is no way Link can topple both Cloud and Snake, I doubt he can do it against Cloud and Sephiroth either.

Lol check out the poll of the day. I don't know crap about Magical Starsign but I have to give them credit for being that clever with the ad. Basically the synopis is it's a fake character battle pic with two of the characters in that game (I assume). Too bad the PotD votals are so puny during contest season hardly anybody will see it.

What? Link is currently outperfoming Cloud and Sephiroth combined, and he's getting SFFed by Mario.
