Seems Arthas is resistant to Fire and Lighting.

Oh Snap D. Start doing pooky like in back in the day!

Yikes. If Battle.net just gets an extra thousand or so voters this could change a lot, especially for Arthas.

I don't have much confidence right now in KOS-MOS holding on, but I don't necessarily expect her to get passed by. I had no idea how to predict this match, and I thought I caught a hold of it, and looking at the percentages I put down, I wasn't even close.

I'm just along for the ride, following the poll updates for now.

Hold on, KOS-MOS....

*looks at bracket*

Man, practically this whole contest looks like we're gonna be sitting on edge. This is gonna be a long (but exciting) two months.

Ah the beauty of the Analysis Crew. Sure, I totally botched Arthas and Diablo, but KOS-MOS and Mega Man are looking pretty close to my guess, so I'll come out looking like a genius!

I am so wrong and SO loving it right now

Arthas just cut Diablo's lead under 100 and just looks like he's gonna plow right past

Diablo is stalling them both now. If he wants to win, he needs to make a bit of a charge soon and follow that momentum up during the day.

Yeah, looks like Diablo has temporarily stopped the bleeding. If he can hold Kos-Mos' lead to 1500ish till the day time, he might have a shot...

I seriously don't expect Diablo to pull off a Knuckles's level swing. Specially with Arthas there to hinder him. Knuckles swung 1700. If Diablo swings 1000, I'd be surprised.

Xuxon | Posted 9/4/2007 12:12:00 AM | message detail
Diablo's day vote really isn't much different than Knuckles', and I'm sure KOS-MOS's is worse than Rikku's. The issue here is that we're working with a smaller percentage of the vote, and Knuckles actually led by a decent amount at the start.

Diablo stalling Arthas doesn't do much for him. All that does is make sure that Arthas has no shot at second.

I figured arthas was being underestimated, although perhaps it was a bit foolish to have him in second place for this poll in my bracket. >_>

Maybe blizzard's online community will bring him there during the day. I can see them supporting him over diablo at any rate.

KOSMOS looks like she'll manage 200 per hour.

So assuming KOSMOS continues til about 7~8...The lead will probably be somewhere around 1800~2000

My bracket says MM > Diablo.

Needless to say I am sad. At this point though I'm rooting for arthas to make an amazing comeback over Kos-Mos. It seems more likely than diablo mounting a similar comeback, and would at the very least put the Kos-Mos bracketers in the same position as me, 6 points after round 2.

Just watching some G4 while doing homework here...but they're re-airing the G-Phoria awards. Fenix won the Best New Character award with 51% over Midna, Amaterasu, Frank West, and Mii (any Mii, apparently)...

...pointing it out since there was controversy over who he faced last time I remember this mentioned.

It's worth a mention that the 360 won Best System with 49%, too. I'd like to see it TRY to get those numbers here, ha, but Fenix's accomplishment stands and shouldn't be forgotten. He's got a good chance to advance two rounds.

Once the wow servers go down in 4 hours from 8 AM-2 PM, we'll see if Arthas can catch up to Kos-mos... if he cant within that time, Kosmos has it.
