Morning's four hours away at least. She may not build the lead, but she'll take it.

And who knows, she may not do horribly in the morning. Yuna held her own against Zelda, after all.

Naturally it breaks right when I head off to sleep. Not sure what I can do about the poll not updating in time...

As for it falling behind, the old updater took the results in a minute basis a few times, I think.

I'm still catching up, but what is all this talk about Yoshi stealing Knuckles' day vote? If more of Knuckles' voters come to the site during the day, how will Yoshi's presence prevent him from distancing himself from Rikku? Yoshi being there has nothing to do with Knuckles' voting trends. Yes, Yoshi probably will have a good day vote too, but all that would mean is that Knuckles won't gain on Yoshi. It's independent of what happens between him and Rikku...

IIRC the poll actualy updates every 301 seconds or something close to that. Perhaps have it update a minute late and update every 301 seconds? That'll probably keep it going until you wake up.

Relax MNM!

This link will explain the highlights of this match so far.


You think I was complaining about missing you people discuss every 5 minute update???? <_<; I thought there was actually meaningful discussion going on. If every match is going to consist of 400 posts discussing each 5 minute update, I just will skip most of it.

There was totally meaningful discussion. Like MM coming up with a theory of why Vaan actually gained a couple updates.

I decided to update my poll update script tonight after all (surprising myself by not procrastinating...), and it took my 3 hours...sigh. Mainly due to DB layout issues, had to change a bunch of stuff.

Thanks a lot to RPGuy - I used his updates from http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/match.html for the ones I was missing.

Email me if anyone finds any bugs.

Random thought: if Yoshi gets the Nintendo morning vote, Knuckles gets the Sonic morning vote, and Rikku gets a slight KH morning vote... does Vaan get any votes?

Interesting match so far.

KOS-MOS looks like she'll pull off some slight JF tomorrow.

I really think Rikku has a good chance. This morning vote is going to be super duper interesting. Square has the most loyal fans, and it's showing.

Wow, Rikku puttin up some fight, here. Interesting. Not totally blindsided, though. Knuckles should still win, but I'm not so sure I feel good about Mega Man > Knuckles next round.

Love the way the 4 way polls are being kept track of on Gamefaqscontests.com, by the way. Lead 1 and Lead 2 for the win.

I like this contest already, although I wished I had picked Mega Man >Yoshi >_>
Can anyone tell me what I was thinking? Because I can't remember my reason for putting Yoshi>Knuckles and then mega man>knuckles :p But it can't have been random

Mega Man smashed Yoshi pretty hard in 2k5. It's probable that Mega Man got some SFF in the match.

Megaman SFF Yoshi to hell in 2005 and that was the reason why you had Megaman > Knuckles in round 2.

Oh, Knux will most likely take off once the day gets here. Really hard to go against history when it comes to Knux's dayvote. But I'd at least like to see Rikku lead for a while.
